While the twilight shadows linger,
Dearest Lord, I come to Thee,
Bringing all my heart's deep secrets
For The loving eye to see;
All the joys and all the sorrows,
All the blessings sent to me.
Here, before Thy Sacred Presence,
In adoring love I bend,
Asking Thee, my dearest Jesus,
To be Lover, Guide, and Friend,
And for all my wants and trials
Strength and loving comfort send.
And I consecrate, dear Jesus,
All my love, my life, to Thee;
Keep each thought, each work, each action,
From the world's contagion free,
And bless all my loved ones, Jesus,
And unite us all in Thee.
