O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.(from the 1979 American Book of Common Prayer)
