An Evening Commendation
INTO Thine arms we now commend ourselves this night. We will lay us down in peace, if Thou speak peace to us through Jesus Christ. May our last thoughts be of Thee. And when we awake, may Thy Spirit bring heavenly things to our mind. Pardon the imperfections of our prayers. Supply what we have omitted to ask for, and do for us exceeding abundantly above all that we ask or think; for the alone merits of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
