25

IN the night of weariness let me give myself up to sleep without struggle, resting my trust upon thee.

Let me not 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.

在这困倦的夜里，

让我帖服地把自己交给睡眠，

把信赖托付给你。

让我不去勉强我萎靡的精神，

来准备一个对你敷衍的礼拜。

是你拉上夜幕盖上白日的倦眼，

使这眼神在醒来后的清新喜悦中更新起来。
