Chapter 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 awakening¹.
 
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．
 
让我不去勉强我的萎靡的精神，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，使这眼神在醒觉的清醒喜悦中，更新了起来．
