    A Night Prayer.
    Lord Jesus Christ, who with unwearied eye, neither slumbers nor sleeps, but continually watches in defence of thy servant. Take me and mine I beseech thee into Thy protection and grant while my body is asleep my soul may be awake and that I may hereafter behold thee in that blessed and heavenly country, where with the Father and the Holy Ghost they are eternally governed and where all the Angels with the blessed Saints are citizens for ever. Amen.
