To God the Father.
Before the closing of the day,Creator, we thee humbly pray,
That for thy wonted mercies sake,
Thou us into protection take.
May nothing in our mindes excite
Vain dreams and fantoms of the night.
Our Enemy repress, that so
Our bodies no uncleanness know.
To Jesus, from a Virgin sprung,
Be Glory given, and Praises sung.
The like to God the Father be,
And holy Ghost eternallie.
