RESTING BLESSING

In name of the Lord Jesus

And of the Spirit of healing balm,

In name of the Father of Israel,

I lay me down to rest.

If there be evil threat or quirk,

Or covert act intent on me,

God free me and encompass me,

And drive from me mine enemy.

In name of the Father precious,

And of the Spirit of healing balm,

In name of the Lord Jesus,

I lay me down to rest.

God, help me and encompass me,

From this hour till the hour of my death.
