Night Prayer

Photo by Geraint Smith

 

Day is done, Lord...

The sun has set
on this day's joys and sadness,
and all the unfinished business
that must rest until tomorrow...

For the best of this day
I give you the praise,
and for my sins this day
I ask your mercy and pardon...

Grant me the blessing, Lord,
of a peaceful night,
deep, refreshing sleep
and sweet dreams to hold me...

Send angels, Lord,
to sweep worries from mind,
fears from my heart
and troubled memories from my soul.

Stand guard with all
who through this night
keep vigil watch
for the world's peace.

Day is done:
be with me, Lord, and with those I love,
'til the sun shall rise again...
