Collect for the Renewal of Life

O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the  night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive  far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having  done your will with cheerfulness while it was day, we may,  when night comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

(BCP 99)
