Lyrics

Jesus, kneel be­side me,
In the dawn of day;
Thine is pray­er eter­nal—
Teach me how to pray!

Master, work be­side me
In the shin­ing sun;
Gently guide Thy ser­vant
Till the work be done.

Savior, watch be­side me
In the clos­ing light;
Lo, the ev­en­ing com­eth—
Watch with me this night!

Birds are wing­ing home­ward,
Sun and sha­dow cease;
Savior, take my spi­rit
To Thy per­fect peace.
