NIGHT PRAYER.

SAVE us, O Lord, waking; and keep us, sleeping; that we may watch with Christ, and rest in peace. Amen.

Preserve us as the apple of thine eye. and protect us under the shadow of thy wings. Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this night without sin.

Have mercy on us, O Lord, have mercy on us.

May thy mercy be upon us, O Lord, as we have put our trust in thee.

O Lord, hear my prayer, and let my supplications come unto thee.

THE PRAYER.

VISIT, we beseech thee, O Lord, this habitation, and repel from it all the snares of the enemy. Let thy holy angels dwell herein to preserve us in peace; and may thy blessing be upon us for ever: through Christ our Lord. Amen.
