All. Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done in earth, As it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread.

Priest. O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee, we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Answer. Amen

Priest. Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy de
fend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
