Lord our God, who bowed down the heavens and came down to save the human race! Look upon Thy servants and Thy wealth. For you, the terrible and man-loving judge, Your servants have bowed their heads and subdued their necks, not expecting help from people, but expecting Your mercy and Your longing for salvation: keep them at all times, both in the present hour and in the evening, and in the passing night, from every opposing action of the devil, vain thoughts and memories the crafty ones.
Proclamation:
May the power of Your Kingdom be blessed and glorified, Father and Son and Holy Spirit, now and ever and unto ages of ages.
