English Lyrics for 'Evening Prayer (Abendsegen)'

In the evening, when I go to sleep,
Fourteen angels watch over me:
Two at my head,
Two at my feet,
Two on my right,
Two on my left,
Two cover me up,
Two awaken me,
Two, point the way
To paradise in heaven!

German Lyrics 'Evening Prayer (Abendsegen)'

Abends, will ich schlafen gehn,
Vierzehn Engel um mich stehn:
Zwei zu meinen Häupten,
Zwei zu meinen Füßen,
Zwei zu meiner Rechten,
Zwei zu meiner Linken,
Zwei die mich decken,
Zwei, die mich wecken,
Zwei, die mich weisen
Zu Himmels Paradeisen!
