1. Christ, der du bist der helle Tag, | |||
vor dir die Nacht nicht bleiben mag, | |||
du leuchtes uns vom Vater her | |||
und bist des Lichtest Prediger. | |||
2. Ach lieber Herr, behüt uns heint | |||
in dieser Nacht vor'm bösen Feind | |||
und laß uns in dir ruhen fein | |||
und vor dem Satan sicher sein. | |||
3. So schlafen wir im Namen dein, | |||
dieweil dein' Engel bei uns sein. | |||
Du heilige Dreifaltigkeit, | |||
wir loben dich in Ewigkeit. | |||

1. Christ, You who are the Light of day, | |||
with You the night cannot prevail, | |||
You bring to us the Father's light; | |||
You are the Minister of Light. | |||
2. O dearest Lord, guard us this night | |||
and keep all evil from our sight, | |||
and let us rest the night in You | |||
and keep us safe from Satan's rule. | |||
3. So now in Your dear Name we sleep, | |||
while Your dear angel watch will keep. | |||
Our holy Lord, the One in Three, | |||
we give You praise eternally. | |||
