Grant us, Master, as we depart for sleep, rest for body and soul. Protect
us from the gloom of sinful sleep and from all dark pleasures of the night.
Calm the impulses of passion, and quench the fiery darts of evil which are
treacherously cast against
all our earthly and mundane thoughts. Grant us, O God, a watchful mind,
prudent reason, a vigilant heart and tranquil sleep, free from all evil
dreams. Raise us up at the hour of prayer, strengthen us in your
commandments, and
judgments. Grant us to glorify you all night long that we may praise and
bless and glorify your all honorable and magnificent name, of the Father
and the Son and the Holy Spirit, now and forever and to the ages of ages.
Most glorious, ever virgin, blessed Theotokos, present our prayers to your
Son and our God, and plead with him, that through you he may save our souls.
My hope is the Father, my refuge the Son, my protection, the Holy Spirit.
Holy Trinity, glory to you.
My every hope I
