As falls the night, we come
To shelter where your wings
Stretch out above the world you love
To guard all living things.
As fails the light, we seek
The fire no dark can douse.
Your lamp held high, you bid us fly
To harbor in your house.
As prowl our fears, we turn
To you in trusting prayer:
Where you abide, your children hide
Within your loving care.
All praise be yours, O God,
The home of all the blest;
Your walls of peace will never cease
To give your household rest.
~ Genevieve Glen, O.S.B.
