Prayer for God’s Protection through the Night following.
IN particular, we beseech thee to continue thy gracious
protection to us this night. Defend us from all dangers
and mischiefs, and from the fear of them; that we may en-joy such refreshing sleep as may fit us for the duties of the
coming day. And grant us grace always to live in such a
state that we may never be afraid to die; so that, living and
dying, we may be thine, through the merits and satisfaction
of thy Son Christ Jesus, in whose Name we offer up these our imperfect prayers. Amen.
