For a Peaceful Night
Create PowerPoint slides from this hymn →An evening compline setting of the ancient Agnus Dei liturgical text, which dates to the 7th-century Roman Mass. The text petitions Christ as the Lamb of God for mercy and peace, here adapted as a night prayer.
O God, you have let me pass the day in peace;
let me pass the night in peace, O Lord who has no lord.
There is no strength but in you.
You alone have no obligation.
Under your hand I pass the night.
You are my Mother and my Father. Amen.
