Before the ending of the day, Creator of the world, we pray, That with thy wonted favor, thou Wouldst be our Guard and Keeper now. | From all ill dreams defend our sight, From fears and terrors of the night; Withhold from us our ghostly foe, That spot of sin we may not know. | O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Doth live and reign eternally. | |
