My spirit seeks thee early in the night watches,
for thy commandments are a light on the earth.
Alleluia.
Learn righteousness, ye that dwell upon the earth.
Alleluia.
Zeal shall seize upon an untaught people,
and now, fire shall devour the adversaries.
Alleluia.
Bring more evils upon them, O Lord,
bring more evils upon those who are glorious upon earth.
Alleluia.
Behold the Bridegroom cometh in the middle of the night, and blessed is that servant whom he shall find watching; and again unworthy is he whom he shall find heedless. Beware, therefore, O my soul, lest thou should be borne down with sleep, lest thou be given up to death and be shut out from the kingdom. But rather rouse thyself and cry, Holy, Holy, Holy, art Thou, O our God. Through the power of thy cross, have mercy on us.
