Come to visit us, Lord, this night, so that by your strength we may rise at daybreak to rejoice in the resurrection of Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns for ever and ever. (We make our prayer) through our Lord.
Thank You for our home and a place to sleep and good food to eat. Help us rest well, give us peaceful dreams, and send Your angels around our home to protect us throughout the night. Teach us to trust You and to love You more and more. You are good; You are great; and You are faithful, God.
Almighty God our heavenly Father, guide the nations of the world into the way of justice and truth, and establish among them that peace which is the fruit of righteousness, that they may become the kingdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Our Father, which art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name, Thy kingdom come, Thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; And forgive us our trespasses, As we forgive them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil.

Vespers (It's 6 o'clock Somewhere)
One who decides to pray in the night any number of cycles is praying Nafl Al-Mutlaq (often called Al-Qiyām) and the only difference between this and the Tahajjud is that the Tahajjud prayer is only considered so if one wakes up from their sleep to perform it.
God, You know the cares that have woken me up this night, so I entrust them back into Your caring hands. I know that You don't fall asleep, that You don't leave me to walk through this life alone. You know, and You see, and You will provide. I love You, Lord.

Some Anglicans also employ the Hail Mary in devotional practice. Anglo-Catholic Anglicans use the prayer in much the same way as Roman Catholics, including use of the Rosary and the recitation of the Angelus.
