3O, may my soul on thee repose,

And with sweet sleep mine eyelids close!

Sleep that shall me more vigorous make

To serve my God when I awake.

4Be thou my Guardian while I sleep;

Thy watchful station near me keep;

My heart with love celestial fill,

And guard me from th' approach of ill.

5Lord, let my heart forever share

The bliss of thy paternal care:
