Evening Prayer of St. Augustine

St. AugustinePicture courtesy of THIS SITE

Watch, thou, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give Thine Angels and Saints charge over those who sleep.

Tend Thy sick ones, O Lord Christ.
Rest Thy weary ones,
Bless Thy dying ones,
Soothe Thy suffering ones,
Pity thy afflicted ones,
Shield Thy joyous ones,
And all for Thy love's sake.

Amen.

    Thanks for posting this text. I found it via Google.

    Alexander Peloquin wrote a beautiful setting of a modern translation of this prayer, by the way: "For Your Love's Sake." Solo voice, organ, and 'cello.
