At the Close of Every Day

Author: Anon. Hymnal: Northfield Hymnal No. 3 #55 (1918) Lyrics: 1 At the close of every day, Lord, to Thee I kneel and pray. Look upon Thy little child, Look in love and mercy mild. 2 O forgive and wash away All my naughtiness this day. When I sleep and when I wake Bless me for my Saviour’s sake. 3 Father, Thou hast heard our prayer, And we own Thy tender care. For, by Thee, in safety kept, We have laid us down and slept. 4 Teach us now our hearts to raise, In our morning hymn of praise. And for Jesus’ sake we pray Bless and keep us through the day.

Born at Chicago, IL, daughter of hymnwriter, Daniel Webster Whittle (El Nathan), and, upon marrying, daughter-in-law to Dwight Lyman Moody, she attended Northfield School in MA (one of two schools founded there by D L Moody), after which she attended Oberlin College, Oberlin, OH. She then attended the Royal Academy of Music in London, England (1890-91). She became a singer, organist, composer, and hymn editor. She assisted her father and Dwight L Moody in their evangelistic work. In 1894 she married William Revell Moody, and they had four children: Irene, Dwight, Beatrice, and Virginia. Only Beatrice lived to adulthood, the others died before age six. She and her husband returned to Northfield, MA, where her husband headed the schools founded by his father.

The last year of his life, her father, Daniel, lived with them (he died in 1901). She died at East Northfield, MA. John Perry

Anonymous

Person Name: Anon. Author of "At the Close of Every Day" in Northfield Hymnal No. 3 In some hymnals, the editors noted that a hymn's author is unknown to them, and so this artificial "person" entry is used to reflect that fact. Obviously, the hymns attributed to "Author Unknown" "Unknown" or "Anonymous" could have been written by many people over a span of many centuries.
