I thank Thee, O almighty God and kind Father, that Thou hast this day
again graciously kept me safe from harm both in body and soul. I pray
Thee, that Thou wouldst according to Thy great goodness blot out every
sin that I have this day committed against Thee and Thy holy commandments
with my heart, tongue, or in other ways, and not forsake me, Thy
creature, whom Thou hast redeemed with the precious blood of Thy dear Son
Jesus Christ, and protect me this night under Thy almighty wings, against
the wicked one, who goeth about as a roaring lion, seeking to devour me,
so that under the shadow of Thy goodness I may rest and sleep securely,
and the wicked one may not be able to approach me or do me any harm.
Amen.
