"Relieve Thou, O God, each one
In suffering on land or sea,
In grief or wounded or weeping,
And lead them to the house of Thy peace this night.
I am weary, weak and cold,
I am weary of travelling land and sea,
I am weary of traversing moorland and billow,
Grant me peace in the nearness of Thy repose this night.
Beloved Father of my God,
Accept the caring for my tears ;
I would wish reconcilement with Thee,
Through the witness and the ransom of Thy Son;
To be resting with Jesus
In the dwelling of peace,
In the paradise of gentleness;
Lead me, Lord, to the house of thy peace this night."
