A Celtic Night Prayer of Surrender and Rest
O Christ, my Shelter and my Peace,
As darkness falls and the world grows still,
I place myself in Your hands.
You are my refuge through the night,
My keeper as I sleep.
The burdens of the day, I lay at Your feet.
The worries I cannot carry, I surrender.
The unknowns of tomorrow, I entrust to You.
For You alone, O Lord, make me dwell in safety.
As the stars keep their silent watch,
So too do You, O Guardian of my soul.
You never slumber, You never sleep;
You are ever near, ever faithful, ever true.
Be the peace within my heart,
Be the light within my dreams,
Be the breath that fills my rest,
Be the arms that hold my soul.
Shield me from all harm, O Christ.
Let no fear disturb my sleep,
Let no shadow trouble my heart.
Cover me in the warmth of Your love,
And awaken me in the morning of Your mercy.
For the night is Yours, and the day is Yours.
My life is Yours, now and forever.
In the name of the Father,
And of the Son,
And of the Holy Spirit,
One God, now and always.
Amen.
