O LORD support us all the
day long of this troublous life
until the shades lengthen
and the evening come and
the busy world is hushed.
The fever of life is over and
our work is done"
"Then LORD in thy mercy
grant us safe lodging, a holy
rest and peace at the last
through JESUS CHRIST
OUR LORD. AMEN
