For Protection at Night
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →The Agnus Dei is an ancient Christian liturgical acclamation, dating to the 7th century, based on John 1:29. Here it is arranged as a nighttime prayer for protection, petitioning Christ's mercy and peace in three brief invocations.
Dear Jesus, as a hen covers her
chicks with her wings to keep them safe, do thou this night protect us under your golden wings. Amen.
