"An Explanation of Luther's Small Catechism"

Into Thy hands I commend my body and soul, and all that is
mine. Let Thy holy angel have charge concerning me, that the wicked one
may have no power over me. Amen.
PP _And then shouldst thou go with joy to thy work, after a Hymn, or the_
Ten Commandments, _or whatever thy devotion may suggest._
EVENING.
PP _In the Evening, when thou goest to bed, thou shall say:_
In the Name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen.
PP _Then, kneeling or standing, thou shalt say the_ Apostles' Creed _and
the_ Lord's Prayer.
PP _Then mayest thou say this Prayer:_
I give thanks unto Thee, Heavenly Father, through Jesus Christ Thy dear
Son, that Thou hast this day so graciously protected me, and I beseech
Thee to forgive me all my sins, and the wrong which I have done, and by
Thy great mercy defend me from all the perils and dangers of this night.
Into thy hands I commend my body and soul, and all that is mine. Let Thy
holy angel have charge concerning me, that the wicked one may have no
power over me.
