God, that madest earth and heaven
|
God, that madest earth and heaven, Darkness and light; Who the day for toil hast given, For rest the night; May thine angel-guards defend us, Slumber sweet thy mercy send us, Holy dreams and hopes attend us, This livelong night. Guard us waking, guard us sleeping, And, when we die, May we in thy mighty keeping All peaceful lie: When the last dread call shall wake us, Do not thou our God forsake us, But to reign in glory take us With thee on high. |
Terram cum polo fecisti, ad res diem, noctem, Deus, aptavisti ad requiem. Gens caelestis nos defendat, somnum, dum se nox extendat, dulcem nobis dans descendat sanctamque spem. Simus a te custoditi nunc placidi vigilantes aut sopiti; post mortui tuba tandem experrecti a te simus haud reiecti sed in regni partem vecti supra tui. |
