and soul, and preserve us from the gloomy slumber of sin, and
from every dark and nocturnal sensuality. Subdue the impulses of
passions, extinguish the fiery darts of the evil one that are
cunningly hurled against us, assuage the rebellions of our flesh,
and every earthly and fleshly subtlety of ours lull to sleep. And
grant unto us, O God, a watchful mind, chaste thought, a sober
heart, a sleep gentle and free from every satanic illusion. Raise us
up at the time of prayer firmly grounded in Thy judgments. All the
night long grant us a doxology, that we may hymn and bless and
glorify Thy most honorable and majestic name: of the Father, and
of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit, now and ever, and unto the
ages of ages. Amen.
