From those in cozy beds
With spirits that are meek
To you our noble head
We lift our silent sleep
And in our souls we seek
You–for you to keep
Us in eternal care
And in this night renew–
For time and change can tear
Down our physical senses–
Our minds as we pass through
Earth’s shadowy fences
Give us the grace give us the light
To rise like you at end of night
