I bring thee, now, O, Lord, the parcel of a completed day.

For I have wrapped it in my thoughts, tied it

with my acts, and stored it for the purpose of a completed day. As the evening falls, and while I seek thy
face in prayer, grant unto me the joy of good friends, the curative power of new interest, the peace of a
quiet heart, and grant though again, Lord, the healing touch of sleep.
