Our Lady's Chapel, Sisters of Charity Convent, Rome, October 2013 |
Before light's parting beam doth fade,
Maker of all, we ask thine aid,
That of thy wonted clemency
Our guard and keeper thou wilt be.
Let evil dreams from every heart,
And phantoms of the night,
depart;
Be strong against our ancient foe,
That so our flesh no stain
may know.
Almighty Father and adored,
Grant this through Jesus Christ our Lord,
Who with the Holy Ghost
and Thee
Doth reign to all eternity.
Amen.
