My Evening Prayer

My Evening Prayer - Sarah Hart

God be in my head

And in my understanding

Be my every thought

And be my evening prayer

In the darkness alone with the moon and her stars

Let me know that you are

Here be in my head

God be my everything

God be in my heart

As I lay deep in slumber

Let the shadows depart

And sweetest dreams be mine

Send the angels to breathe heaven's peace into me

Thought the night father be

Here be in my heart

God fill my every dream

God be in my eyes

When I awake to morning

And be first in my sight

All that I long to see

Seeking out only that which is lovely and true

All the beauty of you

Here be in my eyes

And in my head

And in my heart

God be my understanding
