Maker of all, to you we cry;

Let us lie down and take our rest
In knowledge that your love is best.

Whom with the Spirit we adore,
One only God for evermore.

Before the day's last moments fly,Maker of all, to you we cry;
Beneath your kind protection take,
and shield us for your mercy's sake.
Let no ill dreams, our souls alarm,
No power of night approach to harm;
Let us lie down and take our rest
In knowledge that your love is best.
Father of mercies, hear our cry;
Oh hear, co-equal Son most high:
Whom with the Spirit we adore,
One only God for evermore.
