109. For those who have Wakeful Night*.
SHED forth the light of Thy countenance, Lord, we beseech Thee, upon those who cannot find rest in the season of darkness...
Calm them by the gracious influence of Thy Holy Spirit, and surround them with the ministrations of Thy holy angels. Keep their minds from all harassing thoughts and temptations of evil, and suggest to them such truths as shall be most fitted for their necessity. Keep their bodies from restlessness, and grant that they may learn, in patient waiting for the day of Thy revelation, to rejoice with Thy saints while the night of earthly life remains, that they may exult in Thy glory, when all who have persevered shall enter into Thy rest, to dwell in Thy light for ever y through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
