In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God; all things were made through him, and without him was not anything made that was made. In him was life, and the life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, and the darkness has not overcome it.
John 1: 1-5
To thee before the close of day,
Creator of the world we pray,
That, with thy wonted favor thou
Wouldst be our guard and keeper now.
From all ill dreams defend our sight,
From fears and terrors of the night,
Withhold from us our ghostly foe,
That spot of sin we may not know.
And all this that we ask be done
Through Jesus Christ thine only Son,
Who with the Holy Ghost and thee
Doth live and reign eternally.
Amen!
Latin, c. 7th century
