Into Thy Hands
Into Thy hands, O Lord, I commend myself, my spirit, soul, and body: Thou didst make, and didst redeem them; and together with me, all my friends and all that belongs to me. Thou hast vouchsafed them to me, Lord, in Thy goodness. Guard my lying down and my rising up, from henceforth and for ever. Let me remember Thee on my bed, and search out my spirit; let me wake up and be present with Thee; let me lay down in peace, and take my rest; for it is Thou, Lord, only that makest me dwell in safety.
