Yours is the day, O Lord,
and yours is the night.
Let your Sun of righteousness
remain in our hearts
to drive away the darkness
of wicked thoughts;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Almighty and everlasting God,
at evening, and morning, and noonday,
we humbly ask,
to drive from our hearts the darkness of sin,
and lead us to the true Light,
which is Christ;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

O God, by the light of your Word
you scatter the darkness of ignorance.
Increase in our hearts the power of faith
which you have given us,
that no temptations may put out the fire
your grace has caused to burn in our hearts;
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

May the rich blessing of the Lord attend us,
and grant us all remission of sins.
May the Lord graciously protect us from all evil
and mercifully preserve and keep us in all good,
and may he who created and redeemed us
preserve us for himself unspotted to the end.
Amen.

O good Shepherd,
look mercifully on your flock,
and do not let the sheep
which you redeemed with your precious blood
to be torn to pieces
by the assaults of the devil.

The Lord enrich us with his grace,
and further us with his heavenly blessing.
The Lord defend us in adversity
and keep us from all evil.
The Lord receive our prayers,
and graciously absolve us from our offences,
for the sake of Jesus + Christ, our Savior.

May God Almighty direct our days in his peace,
and grant us the gifts of his blessing.
May he deliver us in all our troubles,
and establish our minds in the tranquility of his peace.
May he so guide us through things temporal
that we finally lose not the things eternal.

Lord Jesus, you endured great pain
by your bitter sufferings on the cross
for me, a poor sinful man,
especially in the hour
when your soul departed
from your blessed body.
Have mercy on my soul when I depart
and bring me to eternal life.
Amen.

O Lord Jesus Christ, King of glory,
you ascended through the eternal gates to your Father’s throne
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
Since you reign in heaven,
help us not to be bound to things of this earth,
but lift our hearts where you, our redeemer, have gone before;
you live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever.
Amen.
