From the Book of Divine Worship - The Daily Office - Daily Evening Prayer

The Officiant begins the service with one or more of the following sentences of Scripture, or with the versicle O God, make speed to save us.

Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice. Ps. 141:2

Grace to you and peace from God our Father and from the Lord Jesus Christ. Phil. 1:2

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; let the whole earth tremble before him. Ps. 96:9

Yours is the day, O God, yours also the night; you established the moon and the sun. You fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter. Ps. 74:15, 16

I will bless the Lord who gives me counsel; my heart teaches me, night after night. I have set the Lord always before me; because he is at my right hand, I shall not fall. Ps. 16:7, 8

Seek him who made the Pleiades and Orion, and turns deep darkness into the morning, and darkens the day into night; who calls for the waters of the sea and pours them out upon the surface of the earth: The Lord is his name. Amos 5:8

If I say, "Surely the darkness will cover me, and the light around me turn to night," darkness is not dark to you, O Lord; the night is as bright as the day; darkness and light to you are both alike. Ps. 139:10, 11

Jesus said, "I am the light of the world; whoever follows me will not walk in darkness, but will have the light of life." John 8:12
