A Night Prayer

Augustine   

Watch, O Lord, with those who wake or weep tonight, and give your angels and saints charge over those who slumber. 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.

[Augustine of Hippo, c.430]
