1 Before the ending of the day,
Creator of the world we pray,
That with thy wonted favour thou Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.
2 From all ill dreams defend our eyes, From nightly fears and fantasies; Tread underfoot our ghostly foe, That no pollution we may know.
3 O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Doth live and reign eternally.
