Lord, Almighty, God of disembodied powers and all flesh, who lives on the heights of heaven and does not leave us who live on earth, observing hearts and thoughts, and clearly knowing the secrets of man, the beginningless, eternal and unchanging Light, which leaves no shadowed place on His path! You Yourself, immortal King, accept our prayers, which we now, hoping for the abundance of Your compassion, make to You from unclean lips, and forgive us our sins, committed by us in deed, word and thought, voluntarily and involuntarily, and cleanse us from all uncleanness of the flesh and spirit. And grant us with a watchful heart and a sober thought to live the whole night of this earthly life, in anticipation of the coming of the bright and glorious day of the second coming of Your Only Begotten Son, the Lord God and our Savior Jesus Christ, when the common Judge will come with glory to reward everyone according to his deeds.
May He find us not lying down and sleeping, but awake and risen, in the midst of fulfilling His commandments, and ready to enter with Him into the joy and divine palace of His glory, where the unceasing voices of those who triumph and the inexpressible joy of those who see the indescribable beauty of Your face. For You are the true Light, enlightening and sanctifying the whole world, and You are glorified by all creation forever and ever. Amen.
