778 Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who dost vary the aspect of thy creatures.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who hast imparted of thy wisdom to those who revere thee.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who hast imparted of thy wisdom to flesh and blood.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, the true Judge.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who art good and beneficent.

Blessed art thou, Lord our God, King of the universe, who closest my eyes in sleep, my eyelids in slumber. May it be thy will, Lord my God and God of my fathers, to grant that I lie down in peace and that I rise up in peace. Let not my thoughts upset me–nor evil dreams, nor sinful fancies. May my family ever be perfect in thy sight. Grant me light, lest I sleep the sleep of death; for it is thou who givest light to the eyes. Blessed art thou, O Lord, whose majesty gives light to the whole world.
