March The Twenty-Third

O Blessed God, who neither slumberst nor sleepest, take us into Thy gracious keeping for this night. O Lord, in whom we trust, help us by Thy grace so to live that we may never be afraid to die; and grant that, at the last as now, our even-song may be, "I will lay me down in peace and sleep; for Thou, Lord, makest me to dwell in safety. " - Amen
