Surrounded by such true and gentle powers
So wondrously consoled and without fear
Thus will I spend with you these final hours
And then together enter a new year
By gentle powers lovingly surrounded
With patience we'll endure, let come what may
God is with us at night and in the morning
And certainly on every future day
