Fresher gladness of awakening

In the night of weariness
Let me give myself up to sleep without struggle,
Resting my trust upon thee.

Let me knot force my flagging spirit
Into a poor preparation for thy worship.

It is thou who drawest the veil of night
Upon the tired eyes of the day
To renew its sight in a fresher gladness of awakening.
