Prayers Before Bed
Now I lay me down to
sleep,
I pray thee, Lord, thy
child to keep;
Thy love to guard me
through the night
And wake me in the
morning light.
“I will both lie down and sleep in
peace;
for you alone, O Lord, make me lie down in safety.”
—Psalm 4:8 (NRSV)
Lord, keep us safe this
night,
Secure from all our
fears;
May angels guard us while
we sleep,
Till morning light
appears. John Leland
God bless all who love
me;
God bless all those who
love those who I love
and all those who love
those who love me.
From an old New England sampler
The grace of the Lord
Jesus be with all the saints. Amen.
--Revelation 22:21
(NRSV)
Night Prayer Antiphon
Protect us, Lord, while
we are awake
and safeguard us while we sleep,
that we may keep watch with Christ and rest in peace.
and safeguard us while we sleep,
that we may keep watch with Christ and rest in peace.
