October The Seventeenth

ALMIGHTY Father, who neither slumberest nor sleepest, we humbly pray Thee to watch over us this night with the eyes of Thy mercy, and over all who are near and dear to us. Grant us quiet and refreshing sleep such as may fit us for the duties of the morrow. Put far away from us all worldly cares and earthy fears, and give us holy thoughts of Thee, that we may repose in perfect peace in the everlasting arms of Thy fatherly love; and, whether we wake or sleep, may live together with Him who died and rose again for us, Thy Son, Jesus Christ our Lord - Amen.

-- FAMILY PRAYER
