Christ, mighty Savior,
Light of all creation,
you make the daytime
radiant with the sunlight
and to the night give
glittering adornment,
stars in the heavens.
Now comes the day's end
as the sun is setting;
mirror of daybreak,
pledge of resurrection;
while in the heavens
choirs of stars appearing
hallow the nightfall.
Therefore we come now
evening rites to offer,
joyfully chanting holy
hymns to praise you,
with all creation
joining hearts and voices
singing your glory.
Give heed, we pray you,
to our supplication;
that you may grant us
pardon for offenses,
strength for our weak hearts,
rest for aching bodies,
soothing the weary.
Though bodies slumber,
hearts shall keep their vigil,
forever resting in
the peace of Jesus,
in light or darkness
worshipping our Savior
now and forever.
