Anthem: Thee, Lord, before the close of day (Gardiner)
Thee, Lord, before the dose of day, Maker of all things, thee we pray
For thy dear loving kindness' sake To guard and guide us in the way. Banish the dreams that terrify, And night's fantastic company; Keep us from Satan's tyranny. Defend us from unchastity.
Protect us, Father, God adored.
Thou, too, co-equal Son and Lord Thou, Holy Ghost, our Advocate
Whose reign can know not bound nor date. Amen.
Prayers
