In peace I will lie down and sleep,

\n      make me dwell in safety.<\/div>\n
Psalm 4:8<\/a><\/div>\n

Evening prayer<\/h3>\n

God with me lying down,
\nGod with me rising up,
\nGod with me in each ray of light,
\nNot I a ray of joy without Him,
\n      Nor one ray without Him.<\/p>\n

Christ with me sleeping,
\nChrist with me waking,
\nChrist with me watching,
\nEvery day and night,
\n      Each day and night.<\/p>\n

God with me protecting,
\nThe Lord with me directing,
\nThe Spirit with me strengthening,
\nFor ever and for evermore,
\n      Ever and evermore, Amen.
\n            Chiefs of chiefs, Amen
