ABSOLUTION
O Lord and Master, Jesus Christ our God, grant us rest in our sleep,
Repose of our bodies, and purity of our souls,
And protect us from the darkness of devastating sin.
May the pangs of pain subside,
And the heat of the flesh calm down,
And the turmoil of the body come to an end.
Grant us an alert mind, a humble thought, a life full of virtue,
And a pure and undefiled bed.
Raise us up for the night and morning praises,
Steadfast in Your commandments,
Keeping in ourselves, at all times, the thought of Your judgments.
Grant us to praise You the whole night;
Blessing Your holy name full of glory and splendor,
With Your good Father, and the Holy Spirit, the Life-Giver,
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 blessings 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.
