March The Twenty-Second

KEEP us this night, O Lord, from all works of darkness, and, whether we wake or sleep, let our thoughts and deeds be in accordance with Thy holy will. Preserve us from all dangers and terrors of the night; from restless watcing and sorrowful thoughts; from unnecessary or fretful cares and imaginary fears. Let us awake to-morrow renewed in strength, and cheerful in spirit; may we arise with holy thoughts and go forth to live to Thine honor, to the service of our fellowmen, and the comfort and joy of our households. Hear us, O Lord, for Christ's sake - Amen.

- CASPAR NEUMANN (1648-1715)
