I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest; for it is Thou, Lord, only that makest me dwell in safety. (Ps. iv.,9.)
Glory to Th?e, my God, this night,
For all the blessings of the light;
Keep me, O keep me. King of Kings, Beneath thine own Almighty wings.
Forgive me, Lord, for Thy dear Son, The ills that t this day have done:
That with the world, myself and Thee, [, ere I sleep, at peace may be.
Teach me to live, that I may dread The grave as little as my bed;
Teach me to die, that so I may Triumphant rise at the last day.
0 may my soul on Thee repose.
And with sweet ?Ieep mine eyelids close, Sleep that shall me more vigorous make To serve my God when I awake.
Grant, we beseech Thee, merciful Lord, to Thy faithful people pardon and peace, that they may be cleansed from all their sins and serve Thee with a quiet min^, through Jesus Christ our Lord; Amen.
He shall give His angels charge over thee, to keep thee in all thy ways. (Ps. xci., 2.)
