O God, be with us,
for the night is falling;
For Thy protection
we to Thee are calling;
Beneath Thy shadow
to our rest we yield us;
Thou, Lord, wilt shield us.
May evil fancies
flee away before us;
Till morning cometh, watch,
O Father, o'er us;
In soul and body
Thou from harm defend us,
Thine angel send us.
While we are sleeping,
keep us in Thy favor;
When we awaken,
let us never waver
All day to serve Thee,
Thy due praise pursuing
In all our doing.
Through Thy Beloved
soothe the sick and weeping
And bid the captive
lose his grief in sleeping;
Widows and orphans,
we to Thee commend them,
Do Thou befriend them.
We have no refuge,
none on earth to aid us,
Save Thee, O Father,
who Thine own hast made us.
But Thy dear presence
will not leave them lonely
Who seek Thee only.
Thy name be hallowed
and Thy kingdom given,
Thy will among us
done as 'tis in heaven;
Feed us, forgive us,
from all ill deliver
Now and forever.
