You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart
And with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the first and great commandment.
And the second is like it,
You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
On these two hang all the law and the prophets
Amen
Bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
You who stand by night in the house of the Lord
Lift up your hands, lift up your hands
In the holy place and bless the Lord!
O Gracious Light, Lord Jesus Christ
In you the Father's glory shone
Immortal, holy, blest is he
And blest are you, his holy Son
Bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
You who stand by night in the house of the Lord
Lift up your hands, lift up your hands
In the holy place and bless the Lord!
Lord, you have searched me out and known me
You know my sitting down and my rising up;
You discern my thoughts from afar
You trace my journeys and my resting-places
And are acquainted with all my ways
Indeed, there is not a word on my lips,
But you, O Lord, know it altogether
You press upon me behind and before,
And lay your hand upon me
Such knowledge is too wonderful for me;
It is so high that I cannot attain to it
Bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
You who stand by night in the house of the Lord
Lift up your hands, lift up your hands
In the holy place and bless the Lord!
Now sunset comes, but light shines forth
The lamps are lit to pierce the night
Praise Father, Son, and Spirit: God
Who dwells in the eternal light
Bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
You who stand by night in the house of the Lord
Lift up your hands, lift up your hands
In the holy place and bless the Lord!
Where can I go then from your Spirit?
Where can I flee from your presence?
If I climb up to heaven, you are there;
If I make my bed the grave, you are there also
If I take the wings of the morning
And dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea
Even there your hand will lead me,
And your right hand hold me fast
If I say, "Surely the darkness will cover me,
And the light around me turn to night,"
Darkness is not dark to you;
The night is as bright as the day,
Darkness and light to you are both alike
Worthy are you of endless praise
O Son of God, Life-giving Lord
Wherefore you are through all the earth
And in the highest heaven adored
Bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
You who stand by night in the house of the Lord
Lift up your hands, lift up your hands
In the holy place and bless the Lord!
Bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
You who stand by night in the house of the Lord
Lift up your hands, lift up your hands
In the holy place and bless the Lord!
Rise up, you saints of God!
Have done with lesser things
Give heart and soul and mind and strength
To serve the King of kings
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Rise up, you saints of God!
His kingdom tarries long
Lord, bring the day of truth and love
And end the night of wrong
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Lift high the cross of Christ!
Tread where his feet have trod
And kindled by the Spirit's power
Rise up, you saints of God!
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
Hallelujah, Hallelujah
