Sunset... so often so beautiful
even if it cues the end of day
and ushers in the dark of night
when, sometimes, Lord,
our vision dimmed,
we fail to find your light... .
And so we say our night prayers
as we learned when we were young:
prayers to thank you for this day,
to ask a blessing on our friends,
to beg the gracious favor
of a safe and peaceful rest...
So, as the sun sets, Lord, and dark descends,
until the new day dawns,
be the light upon our path
and help us find our way to you...
Protect us, Lord, while we're awake,
watch over us while we sleep
that awake, we might keep watch with you
and asleep, rest in your peace...
Amen.
