للرب مجد في المسا

Representative Text

1 للرب مجدٌ في المسا
مِن أجل أنوار النهارْ
فليكنِ اللهمَّ لي
تحت جناحيكَ استتارْ

2 إغفر ليَ اللهمَّ ما
فعلتُ يومي مِن آثامْ
لأرقُدَ الليلةَ معْ
نفسي وربي بالسلامْ

3 كُن حارساً في النومِ لي
مِن كلَّ أنواعِ الشرورْ
واملأ فؤادي مِن صفا
حبٍّ سماريِّ ونورْ

4 حتى أعيشَ العمرَ لا
أخشى الردى ولا الجحيمْ
وهكذا آمُلُ أن
أفوزَ في دار النعيمْ
