A night prayer

Calm me, O Lord, as you stilled the storm.

Still me, O Lord, keep me from harm.

Let all the tumult within me cease.

Enfold me, Lord, in your peace

Holy God, bless the work that is done,

And the work that is to be.

Jesus Christ, bless the servant that I am,

And the servant that I will be

Lord God of power and might

Shield and sustain us this night.

I will lie down this night with God,

And God will lie down with me;

I will lie down this night with Christ,

And Christ will lie down with me;

I will lie down this night with the Spirit,

And the Spirit will lie down with me;

God and Christ and the Spirit,

Be lying down with me.

The peace of God

Be over us to shelter us,

Under us to uphold us,

About us to protect us,

Behind us to direct us,

Ever with us to save us.

The peace of all peace

Be mine this night

In the name of the Father, and of the son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen

- Celtic night prayer from Northumbria Community
