Full text (last two lines have been altered from the original translation by Alexander Carmichael):

"Relieve Thou, O God, each one
In suffering on land or sea,
In grief or wounded or weeping,
And lead them to the house of Thy peace
This night.

I am weary, weak and cold,
I am weary of travelling land and sea,
I am weary of traversing moorland and billow,
Grant me peace in the nearness of Thy repose
This night.

Beloved Father of my God,
Accept the caring for my tears;
I would wish reconcilement with Thee,
Through the witness and the ransom
Of Thy Son;

To be resting with Jesus
In the dwelling of peace,
In the paradise of gentleness:
Lead me, Lord,
Lead me to the house of thy peace this night."

From "3 Memories of Kurdistan", words by Aine McAllister (twitter.com/aine_mcallister), from the collective memory of Kurdish women she has worked with in a refugee camp in Grande Synthe, France:
"I remember my father, he 
puts his arms out and says, come here.
My father is good and beautiful.
Now I'm happy when I 
help my child write his name."

This recording is by KC VITAs Chamber Choir from Kansas City (http://www.kcvitas.org), conducted by Jackson C. Thomas.
