PHOS HILARON
O radiant Light, O Sun divine,
Of God the Father’s deathless face,
O Image of the light, sublime
That fills the heav’nly dwelling place
Lord Jesus Christ, as daylight fades,
As shine the lights of eventide,
We praise the Father with the Son,
The Spirit blest and with them one.
O Son of God, the source of life,
Praise is your due by night and day:
Our (untarnished) lips must raise the strain
Of your proclaimed and splendid name.
ANTIPHON
(Night Prayer – Liturgy of the Hours)
Protect us, Lord, as we stay awake;
watch over us as we sleep,
that awake, we may keep watch
with Christ,
and asleep, rest in His peace.
CONCLUDING BLESSING
(Night Prayer – Liturgy of the Hours)
May the all-powerful Lord grant us a
restful night
and a peaceful death.
HAIL MARY
Hail Mary, full of grace,
the Lord is with you!
Blessed are you among women,
and blessed is the fruit of your womb,
Jesus.
Holy Mary, Mother of God,
pray for us sinners,
now and at the hour of our death.
Amen.
