The Sacred Three to save to shield to surround the hearth the home this night and every night.
Search me, O God, and know my heart. Test me and know my thoughts.
See if there is any wicked way in me and lead me in the way everlasting.
O Father, O Son, O Holy Spirit, forgive me my sins. O only-begotten Son of the heavenly Father, forgive. O God who is one, O God who is true, O God who is first, O God who is one substance, O God only mighty, in three Persons, truly merciful, forgive.
O God of life, this night, O darken not to me Thy light.
O God of life, this night, close not Thy gladness to my sight.
Keep Your people, Lord, in the arms of Your embrace. Shelter them under Your wings.
Be their light in darkness. Be their hope in distress. Be their calm in anxiety.
Be strength in their weakness.
Be their comfort in pain.
Be their song in the night.
In peace will I lie down, for it is You, O Lord, You alone who makes me to rest secure.
Be it on Your own beloved arm, O God of grace, that I in peace shall awake.
Be the peace of the Spirit mine this night. Be the peace of the Son mine this night. Be the peace of the Father mine this night. The peace of all peace be mine this night + in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
