Now, at the closing of the day,We, Virgin Mother, meekly pray
That Thou wilt clean and spotless keep
Our spirit, waking or asleep.

Let nothing in our hearts exciteVain dreams or phantoms of the night.
Our yearnings purify that so
Our bodies slumber white as snow.

To God the Father, and the Son,And Holy Spirit, Three in One,
Beginning, End, of all we be,
Thanksgiving, praise, eternally.
