The night is come, wherein at last we rest, God order this and all things for the best! Beneath His blessing fearless we may lie Since He is nigh. | Drive evil thoughts and spirits far away, Master, watch o'er us till the dawning day, Body and soul alike from harm defend, Thine angel send. | Let holy prayers and thoughts our latest be, Let us awake with joy, still close to Thee, In all serve Thee, in every deed and thought Thy praise be sought. | Give to the sick as Thy beloved sleep, And help the captive, comfort those who weep, Care for the widows' and the orphans' woe, Keep far our foe. | For we have none on whom for help to call, Save Thee, O God in heaven, who car'st for all, And wilt forsake them never, day or night, Who love Thee right. | 78 Father, Thy Name be praised, Thy Kingdom come, Thy will be wrought as in our heavenly home, Keep us in life, forgive our sins, deliver Us now and ever! Amen. | |
