Creator of the world, we pray
That with thy wonted favour thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.
2 From all ill dreams defend our eyes,
From nightly fears and fantasies;
Tread under foot our ghostly foe,
That no pollution we may know.
3 O Father, that we ask be done,
Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son;
Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee,
Doth live and reign eternally. Amen. Topics: Times and Seasons Evening; Office Hymn Compline Used With Tune: TE LUCIS ANTE TERMINUM
