<p>O Christ, Who art the Light and Day,<br>
|
|
Thou drivest darksome night away!<br>
|
|
We know Thee as the Light of light<br>
|
|
Illuminating mortal sight.</p>
|
|
<p>All holy Lord, we pray to Thee,<br>
|
|
Keep us tonight from danger free;<br>
|
|
Grant us, dear Lord, in Thee to rest,<br>
|
|
So be our sleep in quiet blest.</p>
|
|
<p>And while the eyes soft slumber take,<br>
|
|
Still be the heart to Thee awake,<br>
|
|
Be Thy right hand upheld above<br>
|
|
Thy servants resting in Thy love.</p>
|
|
<p>Yea, our Defender, be Thou nigh,<br>
|
|
To bid the powers of darkness fly;<br>
|
|
Keep us from sin, and guide for good<br>
|
|
Thy servants purchased by Thy blood.</p>
|
|
<p>Remember us, dear Lord, we pray,<br>
|
|
While in this mortal flesh we stay:<br>
|
|
’Tis Thou Who dost the soul defend—<br>
|
|
Be present with us to the end.</p>
|
|
<p>Blest Thee in One and One in Three,<br>
|
|
Almighty God, we pray to Thee,<br>
|
|
That Thou wouldst now vouchsafe to bless<br>
|
|
Our fast with fruits of righteousness.</p>
