Evening Prayer


EVENING PRAYER
Vespers

L             Jesus Christ is the Light of the world,

C             the light no darkness can overcome.

L             Stay with us, Lord, for it is evening,

C             and the day is almost over.

L             Let your light scatter the darkness,

C             and illumine your Church.

L             Joyous light of glory:

C             of the immortal Father;
                                heavenly, holy, blessed Jesus Christ.
                We have come to the setting of the sun,
                                and we look to the evening light.
                We sing to God, the Father, Son,
                                and Holy Spirit:
                You are worthy of being praised
                                with pure voices forever.
                O Son of God, O Giver of life:
                                The universe proclaims your glory.

L             The Lord be with you.
