NIGHT PRAYERS

HAVING finished this day, I give Thee thanks, O Lord; I beseech thee, Savior, grant me this night free from sin, and save me.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.

AT the close of day I glorify thee, O Lord: I beseech thee, O Savior, grant me this night free from temptation, and save me.

Now, and always, and forever and ever.

Amen.

THE day being finished, in song do I praise thee, O Lord; I beseech thee, O Savior, grant me this night safe from the snare of evil, and save me.

AMONG thy Saints, O Christ our God, grant rest to the souls of thy servants departed, where there is neither pain, nor grief, nor weeping, but life without end.

AND grant us, O Lord, who prepare for sleep, rest of body and soul; and protect us from the dark sleep of sin, and from every benighted passion, and from the murk of sinful pleasure. Quell the upheavals of concupiscence, quench the burning arrows of the evil one, cunningly aimed at us; quiet the turmoil of our bodies, and put to rest every worldly and carnal thought. And grant us, O God, a clear mind, purity of thought, a vigilant heart, peaceful sleep untroubled by the mockery of satan. Wake us at the time of prayer, strengthened in thy commandments, having ever before us the memory of thy judgment in our midst. Grant us a voice of glorification throughout the night, that we may praise, bless, and glorify thy most honored and worthy name, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now, and always, and forever and ever. Amen.

O GOD of our fathers, who workest thy mercies perpetually among us, do not remove thy mercy from us, but through their prayers direct our lives in peace.

THROUGH the prayers of all the Saints, and of the Mother of God, O Lord, grant us thy peace, and have mercy on us, as one who alone art merciful.

OUR Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name: thy kingdom come; thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread: and forgive us our trespasses as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation: but deliver us from evil.

FOR thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now, and always, and forever and ever.

Amen.

HAIL Mary, full of grace, the Lord is with thee. Blessed art thou among women and blessed is the fruit of thy womb Jesus. Holy Mary, Mother  of God,  pray for us sinners now and at the hour of our death. Amen.
