Evening

EVENING PRAYER

Watch thou, dear Lord,

with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight,

and give thine angels charge over those who sleep.

Tend thy sick ones, Lord Christ.

Rest thy weary ones.

Bless thy dying ones.

Soothe thy suffering ones.

Pity thine afflicted ones.

Shield thy joyous ones.

And all, for thy love's sake.

Amen.

~ Saint Augustine - 4th century
