Keep watch, dear Lord,

with those who work or watch or weep this night,

and give your angels charge over those who sleep.

Tend the sick, Lord Christ,

give rest to the weary,

bless the dying,

soothe the suffering,

pity the afflicted,

shield the joyous

- and all for your love's sake.

Amen

[Augustine, Book of Common Prayer]

I am placing my soul and my body

in Thy safe keeping this night,

O God,

in Thy safe keeping, O Jesus Christ,

in Thy safe keeping, O Spirit of perfect truth.

The Three who would defend my cause

by keeping me this night from harm.

[Celtic Daily Prayer: Prayers and Reading from Northumbria Community]
