Jacopo de' Barbari, The Guardian Angel, about 1509. Art Institute of Chicago.
Ere the waning light decay,
God of all, to thee we pray,
Thee thy healthful grace to send,
Thee to guard us and defend.
Guard from dreams that may affright;
Guard from terrors of the night;
Guard from foes, without, within;
Outward danger, inward sin.
Mindful of our only stay,
Duly thus to thee we pray;
Duly thus to thee we raise,
Trophies of our grateful praise.
Hear our prayer, Almighty King!
Hear thy praises while we sing,
Hymning with thy heavenly host,
Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.
