Blessed are you, O Lord God, ruler of the universe. You call all nations to walk in your light and to seek your ways of justice and peace; for the night is past, and the dawn of your coming is near. Bless us, Lord, with your light, and make us ready to greet your Lord when he comes, and to welcome him into our hearts, for he is our light and our salvation. (BCP)

You know what time it is, now it is high time to wake out of sleep, for salvation is nearer to us than when we became believers; the night is far gone, and the day is near. Let us then lay aside the works of darkness and put on the armor of light; let us live honorable as in the day, not in reveling and drunkenness, not in debauchery and licentiousness, not in quarreling and jealousy. Instead, put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh to gratify its desires. Romans 13
