O Lorde, the Maker of Al Things

O Lorde, the maker of al thinge,

We pray Thee now in this evening

Us to defende, through Thy mercy,

From al deceite of our en'my.

Let neither us deluded be,

Good Lorde, with dreame or phantasy,

Our hearte wakyng in Thee Thou kepe,

That we in sinne fal not on slepe.

i.e., so that we do not fall into sin while asleep

O Father, throughe Thy blessed Sonne,

Grant us this our peticion,

To whom with the Holy Ghost alwaies,

In heav'n and yearth be laude and praise.
