Text: Petrus Herbert, 1566
Die Nacht ist kommen,
Drin wir ruhen sollen;
Gott walts, zu Frommen
Nach seim Wohlgefallen,
Daß wir uns legen
In seim G'leit und Segen,
Der Ruh zu pflegen.
Treib, Herr, von uns fern
Die unreinen Geister,
Halt die Nachtwach' gern,
Sei selbst unser Schutzherr,
Schirm beid Leib und Seel'
Unter deine Flügel,
Send uns dein Engel!
Laß uns einschlafen
Mit guten Gedanken,
Fröhlich aufwachen
Und von dir nicht wanken;
Laß uns mit Züchten
Unser Tun und Dichten
Zu deim Preis richten!
The night is come,
That we may rest;
God is there, to care for us
By his good will,
So that we lay ourselves down
In his company and blessing,
To maintain peace.
Lord, keep far from us
The unclean spirits,
Keep the night watch;
Be our defender;
Shield both body and soul
Under your wings;
Send us your angel!
Let us go to sleep
With good thoughts,
Happily awaken
And not waver from you;
Let us, with piety,
Direct our deeds and sayings
To your glory!
