A Prayer for Protection
Watch, O Lord,
with those who wake,
or watch,
or weep tonight,
and give Your angels and saints charge over those who sleep.
Tend Your sick ones,
O Lord Christ.
Rest Your weary ones.
Bless Your dying ones.
Soothe Your suffering ones.
Pity Your afflicted ones.
Shield Your joyous ones,
and all for Your love's sake.
Amen.
by Saint Augustine of Hippo
