What can I bring Thee? With what can I repay Thee, O Immortal King, the
bestower of great gifts, O generous Lord, the Lover of mankind? Though I
have been lazy in pleasing Thee and have done no good, Thou hast brought
me to the end of this day, ordering the conversion and salvation of my
soul. Be merciful towards me, a sinner devoid of any good deeds. Raise up
my fallen soul, defiled by immeasurable sins. Remove from me every evil
thought of this visible life. Forgive, O only Sinless One, all the sins I
have committed against Thee this day, in knowledge or in ignorance, in
word, deed or thought or through any of my senses. Covering me Thyself,
protect me from every assault of the enemy through Thy divine Power,
inexpressible Love for mankind and Strength. Cleanse, O God, cleanse the
multitude of my sins. Be pleased, O Lord, to deliver me from the snares
of the Evil One, and save my passionate soul. When Thou comest in glory,
illumine me with the light of Thy countenance. May I fall uncondemned
into a sleep free of apparitions. Keep the thoughts of Thy servant
untroubled, and keep far from me every satanic activity. Enlighten the
reason-endowed eyes of my heart, that I fall not into the sleep of death.
Send to me an angel of peace, the guide and guardian of my soul and body,
that he may deliver me from my enemies. Then, when I arise from my bed, I
shall offer Thee prayers of thanksgiving. Yea, Lord, hear me, Thy sinful
servant, impoverished in will and conscience. Grant that I may learn from
Thy words when I arise. Cause Thy Angels to drive demonic despondency far
from me. May I bless Thy holy Name and praise and glorify Mary, the most
pure Theotokos, whom Thou hast given to us sinners as an intercessor.
Receive her as she prays for us. We know that she imitates Thy love for
mankind and never ceases to pray. Through her intercessions, the Sign of
the Precious Cross and for the sake of all Thy saints, O Jesus Christ our
God, have mercy on my wretched soul, for Thou art Holy and most glorified
unto ages of ages. Amen.
