This evening over here is
their morning over there. Father,
please protect them in their day
as we close our eyes tonight.
In our restless sleeping, would
you allow our dreams of peace
to rise like holy incense burning?
And when we wake up in the dark
let the names of our dear ones
be in our hearts and on our tongues.

Hear our prayers, Father God.
Grant them safety and escape;
rescue them and save them from
the evil one and evil done by men.
And let your kingdom come — that is,
your will be done on Earth and in
Ukraine. Your will be done right here
and now as it is done in heaven.
Your kingdom is the rule of love,
Veemyay Isusa Christa, Amin
