We thank You,
Our compassionate king,
For You have granted us to pass this day in peace,
And brought us to the evening thankfully,
And made us worthy
To behold daylight until evening.
Lord, accept our glorification
Which is offered now,
And save us from
The trickeries of the adversary,
And abolish all the snares
Which are set against us.
Grant us, in this coming night,
Peace without pain,
Or anxiety,
Or unrest,
Or illusion;
So that we may pass it in peace and chastity,
And rise up for praises and prayers.
And thus, at all times and everywhere,
We glorify Your holy name,
Together with the Father,
Who is incomprehensible and without beginning,
And the Holy Spirit, the Life-Giver,
Who is in one essence with You,
Now and at all times,
And unto the ages of all ages. Amen.
THE CONCLUSION OF EVERY HOUR
Have mercy on us, O God,
And have mercy on us,
Who, at all times
And in every hour,
In heaven and on earth,
Is worshipped and glorified,
Christ our God,
The good, the long suffering,
The abundant in mercy,
And the great in compassion,
Who loves the righteous
And has Mercy on the sinners
Of whom I am chief;
Who does not wish the death of the sinner
But rather that he returns and lives,
Who calls all to salvation
For the promise of the good things to come.
Lord receive from us our prayers
In this hour and in every hour.
Ease our life
And guide us to fulfill Your commandments.
Sanctify our spirits.
Cleanse our bodies.
Conduct our thoughts.
Purify our intentions.
Heal our diseases.
Forgive our sins.
Deliver us from every evil grief
And distress of heart.
Surround us by Your holy angels,
That, by their camp,
We may be guarded and guided,
And attain the unity of faith,
And the knowledge
Of Your imperceptible
And infinite glory.
For You are blessed forever.
Amen.
Make us worthy to pray thankfully:
Our Father Who art in heaven;
Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
But deliver us from the evil one,
In Christ Jesus our Lord.
For Thine is the kingdom,
The power and the glory,
Forever. Amen.
