Poem Words (Three verses)
1.
To you, before the close of day,
Creator of the world, we pray!
Your grace and peace to us allow
And be our guard and keeper 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,
Who with the Holy Ghost and you
Shall live and reign all ages through.
