The day is past and over; all thanks, O Lord, to thee!
I ask that offenseless now the hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, keep me in your sight, and guard me through the coming night.
The joys of day are over; I lift my heart to thee,
and ask you that sinless now the hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, make their darkness light, and guard me through the coming night.
The toils of day are over; I raise my hymn to Thee,
and ask that free from terrors now the hours of dark may be.
O Jesus, keep me in your sight, and guard me through the coming night.
Please be my soul's preserver, O God, for you do know
how many are the perils through which I have to go.
Lord Jesus Christ, O hear my call, save and guard me from them all.
(6th century Greek hymn, The Divine Hours: Prayers for Springtime, p. 122)
