We bless and praise and magnify you, God of our fathers, for you have led us out of the shadows of night once more into the light of day. We appeal to your loving-kindness. Have mercy on us. Hear our prayers in your compassion, for you are our refuge throughout all generations. Merciful and almighty God, let your sun of righteousness shine in our hearts, enlighten our reason, and purify our senses, that we may walk in the light in the way of your commandments, and at last reach life eternal where we will rejoice in your hidden life, for you are the fountain of life, and in your light shall we see light. Amen.
