God of all grace, Thy mercy send; Let Thy protecting arm defend; Save us and keep us to the end: Have mercy, Lord. And through the coming hours of night, Fill us, we pray, with holy light; Keep us all sinless in Thy sight: Grant this, O Lord. May some bright messenger abide For ever by Thy servants??? side, A faithful guardian and our guide: Grant this, O Lord. From every sin in mercy free, Let heart and conscience stainless be; That we may live henceforth for Thee: Grant this, O Lord. We would not be by care opprest; But in Thy love and wisdom rest; Give what Thou seest to be best: Grant this, O Lord. While we of every sin repent, Let our remaining years be spent In holiness and sweet content: Grant this, O Lord. And when the end of life is near, May we, unshamed and void of fear, Wait for the judgment to appear: Grant this, O Lord.
