Found the lyrics for Dear Lord in the script from the play Foxfire (thanks Google Books). They are slight differences from above:

"Dear Lord"
Now the stars is restin', settin' on the hill
An nothin' is soundin' but a whippoorwill;
Down in our holler there the foxfire glows,
Dear Lord, give all your creatures their repose.

The day is done, dear Lord,
Tomorrow's sun, dear Lord,
Is sure to come,
Is sure to come,
Is sure to come;
We have your word, dear Lord.

Now the dew is sparklin' on the spider's nest,
And Every shadow's shrinkin', slowly shrinkin to the west;
The breeze comes so sweetly Across the fresh-mowed hay.
Dear Lord, be with us through a newborn day.
A newborn day, dear Lord,
A newborn day, dear Lord,
Oh, let it stay,
Oh, hear us pray
Oh, hear us pray, dear Lord.
