1 God who madest earth and heaven,
Father, Son and Holy Ghost,
Who the day and night hast given,
Sun and moon and starry host,
Thy almighty hand sustains
Earth and all that it contains.

2 Praise to Thee my soul shall render,
Who this night hast guarded me;
My omnipotent Defender,
Who from ill dost set me free,
Free from the infernal foe,
Free from danger, anguish, woe.

3 Let the night of my transgression
With night's darkness pass away;
Jesus, into Thy possession
I resign myself today;
In Thy wounds I find relief
From all sorrow, sin and grief.

4 Let my life and conversation
Be directed by Thy Word;
Lord, Thy constant preservation
To Thine erring child afford;
Never safe except with Thee,
Thou my faithful Guardian be.

5 Wholly to Thy blest protection
I commit my heart and mind.
Mighty God, to Thy direction
Wholly may I be resigned.
Lord, my Shield, my Light divine,
O accept and own me Thine!

6 Lord, to me Thine angel sending,
Keep me from the subtle foe;
From his craft and might defending,
Never let Thy wanderer go,
Till my final rest shall come
And Thine angel bear me home.
