| | | CAUSE us, our Father, to lie down in peace, | |
| And raise us up, our King, to life again; | |
| Direct us on our way | |
| With Thy good counsel’s stay | |
| And let us ’neath Thy tent of peace remain. | 5 |
| |
| O save us for the sake of Thy great name, | |
| Be unto us a shield, Thou King of kings. | |
| Remove from out our life | |
| Sickness and care and strife; | |
| Shelter us in the shadow of Thy wings. | 10 |
| |
| Our guardian and deliverer Thou art, | |
| Merciful King, whom heaven and earth adore! | |
| Guard Thou from harm and sin | |
| Our goings out and in, | |
| With life and peace henceforth and evermore. | 15 | | | |
