remission of all their sins, that, through pious supplications, they may obtain that pardon which they have always desired; who livest and reignest with the Father, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, one God, world without end. Amen.
AFTER EVENING PRAYERS.
WHILST UNDRESSING.
DIVEST my soul, O my Jesus, of all sin and of all affection to sin; of all pride and vanity; of all self-will and self-love; of whatever is in the least displeasing to thy divine majesty.
WHEN GOING TO BED.
IN the name of our Lord Jesus Christ crucified. I lay me down to rest; bless me, O Lord, defend and govern me, and after this short and miserable pilgrimage bring me to everlasting happiness. Amen.
WHEN CLOSING YOUR EYES TO SLEEP.
O LORD JESUS, whose unwearied eye neither slumbers nor sleeps, but continually watches in defence of thy servants, receive me, I beseech thee, into thy protection this night, and grant that when my body is asleep my soul may be awake to thee, and that I may one day behold that blessed and heavenly country, where thou, with the Father and the Holy Ghost, livest and reignest forever. Amen.
