O Lord,we pray you that this candle, hallowed to the honor of your name, may persevere undimmed,to overcome the darkness of this night.Receive it as a pleasing fragrance,and let it mingle with the lights of heaven.May this flame be found still burningby the Morning Star: the one Morning Star who never sets,Christ your Son,who, coming back from death's domain,has shed his peaceful light on humanity,and lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
