The Lord be with you as you walk along your homeward road.
In silent thought and friendly talk may you be near to God.
The Lord be with you as the night enfolds your day with rest.
Be he in every heart the light and everyone home the guest.
The Grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God and the
communion of the Holy Spirit, be and abide with you all forevermore.
Amen
