1st verse the sun last beam of light is gone
the darksome night comes swiftly on
o christ our light upon us shine
lest we sin's dark ways incine
2 verse we thank thee that through out the day
thine angels kept all harm away thy grace
from care ans vexing fear hath led us on
in safetly here
3 verse lord if we angered thee today remember not
our sins we pray but let thy mercy oer them
sweep and give us calm and restful sleep .
4 verse let angels guard our sleeping hours and drive
away all evil powers our soul and body while
we sleep in safety gracious father keep amen .
