Watch, O Lord, with those who wake, or watch, or weep tonight, and give Your angels and saints charge over those who sleep. Tend Your sick ones, O Loving Lord; rest Your weary ones;bless Your dying ones;soothe Your suffering ones;pity Your afflicted ones;shield Your joyous ones.All for Your love’s sake. Amen. attributed to St. Augustine
