German text
Hinunter ist der Sonnen Schein,
die finstre Nacht bricht stark herein.
Leucht uns, Herr Christ, du wahres Licht,
laß uns im Finstern tappen nicht.
Dir sei Dank, daß du uns den Tag
vor Schaden G'fahr und mancher Plag'
durch deine Engel hast behüt'
aus Gnad' und väterlicher Güt'.
Womit wir han erzürnet dich,
dasselb verzeih uns gnädiglich,
und rechn' es uns'rer Seel' nicht zu,
laß uns schlafen mit Fried und Ruh.
Dein Engel uns zur Wach bestell,
dass uns der böse Feind nicht fäll.
Vor Schrecken, Angst und Feuersnot
behüte uns, o lieber Gott.
English translation
by Mick Swithinbank
Now the sun has gone to rest,
dark night falls swiftly.
Illumine us, Christ, with your true light,
do not leave us to grope in darkness.
We thank you for preserving us this day
from harm, danger and much distress
through your angels
out of mercy and fatherly kindness.
However we may have angered you,
forgive us for it in your mercy
and do not hold our souls to account:
let our sleep be undisturbed.
