Through the day thy love has spared us
|
Through the day thy love has spared us; Now we lay us down to rest; Through the silent watches guard us, Let no foe our peace molest: Jesus, thou our guardian be; Sweet it is to trust in thee. Pilgrims here on earth and strangers, Dwelling in the midst of foes, Us and ours preserve from dangers; In thine arms may we repose, And, when life's sad day is past Rest with thee in heaven at last. |
Pepercisti tu diurnus: idem dormientibus custos noster sis nocturnus motus absit hosticus; super nobis vigiles: suavis est in te fides. E periclis peregrinos, circumsessos hostibus, cum propinquis expedi nos: pacem des et, quaesumus, tecum post vitam gravem sempiternam requiem. |
