Evening prayer for holy rest


Support us, Lord, all the day long, until the shadows lengthen, and the evening comes, the busy world is hushed, the fever of life is over, and our work done; then Lord, in your mercy, give us safe lodging, a holy rest and peace at the last. God our judge and our companion, we thank you for the good we did this day and for all that has given us joy. Everything we offer as our humble service. Bless those with whom we have worked, and those who are our concern. Amen

Please forgive my ignorance, but is this from the Book of Common Prayer? It is as beautiful as your resting bunny.
Kay, the first half of the prayer is in our BCP, and the New Zealand Prayer Book has both the first and second parts. I wish I had page numbers but I'm having technical issues today.
