O Lord God,
Life of mortals,
Light of the faithful,
Strength of those who labor,
and the Rest for your saints,
give us a peaceful night
free of all trouble,
that after quiet sleep
we may enjoy your blessings
at the return of the light,
and be empowered by your Holy Spirit,
and moved to give you thanks.

You, O Lord,
are the Star of truth, who rises out of Jacob,
and the man who rises from Israel.
In the new Star you show yourself as God,
and lying in the crib as God and Man
we confess you to be the one Christ.
In your great mercy
grant us the grace of seeing you,
and show us the radiant sign of your light,
and put all the darkness of our sins to flight,
that we who yearn to see you,
may be refreshed with the enjoyment of that blissful vision. Amen.

you are blessed,
and live and govern all things,
now and forever.
