A Prayer for the Night
May He, Who on the ship took His sleep with a peaceful heart,
And rising commanded the wind and the sea,
Grant my heart to keep watch for Him
Though now my limbs repose from weary and toilsome works.
O Lamb of God, Who Hast taken away all transgressions,
O Meek One, guard my sleep against the enemy. Amen.
--Early medieval English prayer
