Speaker 0: The Lord Almighty grant us a peaceful night and a perfect end. Amen. Our help is in the name of the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. Let us confess our sins to God. Almighty God, our heavenly father, we have sinned against you through our own fault in thought and word and deed and in what we have left undone.

For the sake of your son, our lord Jesus Christ, forgive us all our offenses and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen. May the almighty God grant us forgiveness of all our sins, and the grace and comfort of the Holy Spirit. Amen. O God, make speed to save us.

O Lord, make haste to help us. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen. Alleluia. Psalm 91.

He who dwells in the shelter of the most high abides under the shadow of the almighty. He shall say to the lord, you are my refuge and my stronghold, my God in whom I put my trust. He shall deliver you from the snare of the hunter and from the deadly pestilence. He shall cover you with his pinions, and you shall find refuge under his wings. His faithfulness shall be a shield and buckler.

You shall not be afraid of any terror by night, nor of the arrow that flies by day, of the plague that stalks in the darkness, nor of the sickness that lays waste at midday. A thousand shall fall at your side, and 10,000 at your right hand, but it shall not come near you. Your eyes only have to behold to see the reward of the wicked. Because you have made the lord your refuge, and the most high your habitation, there shall no evil happen to you, neither shall any plague come near your dwelling. For he shall give his angels charge over you, to keep you in all your ways.

They shall bear you in their hands, lest you dash your foot against the stone. You shall tread upon the lion and the adder. You shall trample the young lion and the serpent under your feet. Because he is bound to me in love, therefore will I deliver him I will protect him because he knows my name. He shall call upon me, and I will answer him.

I am with him in trouble. I will rescue him and bring him to honor. With long life will I satisfy him, and show him my salvation. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

A reading from Hebrews. May the God of peace, who brought again from the dead our Lord Jesus, the great shepherd of the sheep, by the blood of the eternal covenant, equip you with every thing good that you may do his will, working in you that which is pleasing in his sight through Jesus Christ, to whom be honor and glory forever and ever. Thanks be to god. Into your hands, oh Lord, I commend my spirit. For you have redeemed me, oh Lord, oh God of truth.

Keep us, oh, lord, as the apple of your eye. Help hide us under the shadow of your wings. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy.

Our father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy 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. Lord, hear our prayer and let our cry come to you.

Let us pray. Look down, oh Lord, from your heavenly throne and illumine this night with your celestial brightness That by night as by day, your people may glorify your holy name through Jesus Christ our lord. Amen. Keep watch, dear lord, with those who work or watch or weep this night and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ.

Give rest to the weary. Bless the dying. Soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous, and all for your love's sake. Amen. Intercessions and thanksgivings may be offered at this time.

Lord, you now have set your servant free, to go in peace as you have promised for these eyes of mine have seen the Saviour, whom you have prepared for all the world to see. A light to enlighten the nations and the glory of your people Israel. Glory to the father and to the son and to the holy spirit as it was in the beginning is now and will be forever. Amen.
