Glory be  to  the  Father,  etc.

EHOLD now,  bless  ye the  Lord:  all  ye  servants of  the  Lord.

Who stand  in  the  house  of the  Lord  in  the  courts  of  the house of  Our  God.

In the  nights  lift  up  your hands to  the  holy  places:  and bless ye  the  Lord.

May the  Lord  out  of  Sion bless thee:  He  that  made heaven and  earth.

Glory be  to  the  Father,  etc.

Ant. Have mercy  on  me,

O Lord,  and  hear  my  prayer.

OW with  the  fast-departing light,

Maker of  all! we ask  of Thee,

Of Thy  great  mercy,  through the night

Our guardian  and  defence to be.

Far off  let  idle  visions  fly;

No phantom  of  the  night molest;

Curb Thou  our  raging  enemy,

That we  in  chaste  repose may rest.

Father of  mercies,  hear  our cry;

Hear us,  O  sole-begotten Son;
