Hear us, O holy Lord, Father almighty, everlasting God; and vouchsafe to send Your holy angel from heaven, to guard, cherish, protect, visit, and defend all those who are assembled together in this house; through Christ Our Lord. Amen.

The unceasing prayer of a just man has great effectiveness. Jas5:16

Now at the daylight's ending

we turn O God, to you:

Send forth your Holy Spirit,

Our spirit now renew.

To you in adoration,

In thankfulness and praise,

In faith and hope and gladness,

Our loving hearts we raise.

The gift you gave at daylight

This night you take away,

To leave within our keeping

The blessings of this day.

Take all its joy and sorrow,

Take all that love can bring

but all that needs forgiveness,

Dear Father now forgive.

With watchful eyes, O Shepherd,

Look down upon your sheep;

Stretch forth your hand in healing

And close our eyes to sleep.

Come down, O Holy Spirit

To be our loving Guest;

Be near us holy angels,

And guard us as we rest.

We praise you , heavenly Father:

From you all light descends;

You give us Heavens glory

When life's brief daylight ends.

We praise you Jesus, Savior,

The light of heaven above;

We praise you, Holy Spirit,

The living flame of love.

Do not be overcome by evil, but overcome evil with good. Rom12:21
