Lord and god of power,
Shield and sustain me this night,
Lord, God of power,
This night and every night.
Sain* and deliver me from fault,
Sain and deliver me from sin,
Sain my soul and my body,
Each dark and each light.
Bless to me the land whither I am bound,
Bless to me the thing my eye shall see,
Bless to me the thing my purpose discerns,
God of life, bless my condition.
Bless the journey whereon I go,
Bless the earth that is under my foot,
Bless the matter which I seek,
King of glory, bless my condition.
[*"Sain" means "to bless", but as marked by the physical action of crossing oneself.]
