Spirit, give to me from your abundance,
Father, give to me from your wisdom,
Son, give to me in my need.
Jesus, beneath the shelter of your shield
I lie down tonight.
With the Triune of my strength:
with the Father, with Jesus,
with the Spirit of might.^336
Conclusion
Now to the Father who created each creature;
now to the Son who paid ransom for his people;
now to the Holy Spirit, comfort and strength:
shield and protect from every wound.
Be there at the end of the race, as at the beginning.
Be there as we sing in glory,
in peace, in rest, in concord,
where no tear shall be shed, where death comes no more;
where no tear shall be shed, where death comes no more.^337
