3353. Jesus, Kneel Beside Me

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

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

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

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