1. Christ, You who are the Light of day,
1. Lord Christ, You are the Light of day,
with You the night cannot prevail,
with You the darkness must away,

You are the Minister of Light.
You are the Minister of Light.


2. O dearest Lord, guard us this night
2. O dearest Lord, guard us this night,
and keep all evil from our sight,
protect us from the Devil's might,
and let us rest the night in You
and may we sweetly rest in You
and keep us safe from Satan's rule.
in sleep and safe from Satan's rule.


3. So now in Your dear Name we sleep,

while Your dear angel watch will keep.
while Your dear angel watch will keep.
Our holy Lord, the One in Three,
Our holy Lord, the Trinity,
we give You praise eternally.
