Concluding Prayers
The concluding prayer follows immediately without any prefatory words. While standing, say:

Lord, give our bodies restful sleep and let the work we have done today bear fruit in eternal life. We ask this through Christ our Lord. — Amen. ... and then ...
May the all-powerful Lord grant us a restful night and a peaceful death. —Amen.
