Night Prayer

“Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
who stand by night in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands to the holy place, and bless the Lord.
May the Lord, maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.” - Psalm 134

O God, come to my assistance. O Lord, hasten to help me.
The Lord Almighty grant me a restful sleep and peace at the last. Amen.

“Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me.
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me.
Melt me, mold me, fill me, use me.
Spirit of the Living God, fall afresh on me.” - Daniel Iverson, 1926

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your lovingkindness;
according to the multitude of your tender mercies blot out my transgressions.
Wash me thoroughly from my iniquities and cleanse me from my sins.
For I acknowledge my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me.
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me;
through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.

This is the good news:
Christ died for me while I was yet a sinner;
this proves God’s love for me.
All who sincerely repent of their sin
are forgiven in Jesus Christ. Amen.

Psalm of Praise (4, 33, 34, 91, 93, 134, 146) & Silence

As you have made this day, O God, you also make the night.
Give light for my comfort.
Come upon me with quietness and still my soul that I may listen for
the whisper of your Spirit and be attentive to your nearness in my dreams.
Empower me to rise again in new life to proclaim your praise,
and show Christ to the world. Amen.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be Tthy 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 evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen.

“Master, you are now dismissing your servant in peace,
according to your word;
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you have prepared in the presence of all peoples,
a light for revelation to the nations and for glory to your people Israel.” - Luke 2:29-32

May the grace of the Lord Jesus Christ,
the love of God the Father,
and the communion of the Holy Spirit
be with me now and always. Amen.
