PRAYER AT NIGHT TIME
When all the world i s fast asleep. . .1 kneel
beside my bed, And in the presence of His Love
I humbly bow my head; “For thoughtless little
deeds today that might have hurt my friends,
I humbly ask another chance to somehow make
amends; For little joys I might have given to
those along my way, I ask the chance to try again
— forgiveness for today.’’
