Pluscarden Abbey, Scotland
1. Before the end of the day,
We ask you, creator of all,
In your wonted kindness,
To go before us as our guard.
2. May our hearts dream of you,
May we perceive you even in sleep,
And always sing your glory
At the coming of the light.
3. Grant us a healthy life,
Restore our fervour;
The foul darkness of night
May your brightness illumine.
4. Grant this, Father almighty,
Through Jesus Christ the Lord,
Who with you forever
Reigns with the
Holy Spirit. Amen.
