(short introduction)

God, who made the earth and heaven, darkness and light;
Who the day for toil has given, for rest the night;
May your angel guards defend us,
Slumber sweet your mercy send us;
Holy dreams and hopes attend us, all through the night.

And when day again shall call us, to run life's way,
May we still, whatev'r befall us, your will obey.
From the power of evil hide us,
In your holy pathway guide us,
Let your smile n'er be denied us all through the day.

Hear our prayers for one another, touch us with love,
Each a sister, each a brother, born from above;
Let your Presence walk among us,
Seekers see your Face among us
when we speak your Truth, and when we live in your love.
