1 Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world, we pray.
Your grace and peace to us allow
And guard and keep your people now.
2 From evil dreams defend our sight,
From all the terrors of the night,
From all deluding thoughts that creep
On heedless minds disarmed by sleep.
3 O Father, this we ask be done
Through Jesus Christ, your only Son,
Whom with the Spirit we adore
Forever and forever more. Amen.
