Anchor Lighting Prayer

Our first arrival at Echo Bay, Sucia Island was three or four years ago now. We were just putting the kids to bed, when I called for them to come up and see the LADY WASHINGTON lying at anchor. We ghosted by in the dusky evening. The kids in bed, Laura and I continued to ghost down wind into the anchorage, looking for a place to drop the hook. By the time we entered the end of the bay it was dark. We were thankful for the anchor lights. And then we noticed there was a boat without a light. After the third unlit boat, we beat a hasty retreat back out and ended up anchoring near the LADY.
After that experience, we became firm believers in using anchor lights - ours included.
The Book of Common Prayer has the following prayers to use when lighting the candle for the Vesper service. I thought it might be a ritual you want to include when lighting your anchor light.

Blessings,

Joel

Almighty God, we give you thanks for surrounding us, as daylight fades, with the brightness of the vesper [anchor] light; and we implore you of your great mercy that, as you enfold us with the radiance of this light, so you would shine into our hearts the brightness of your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.*

or

Grant us, Lord, the lamp of charity which never fails, that it may burn in us and shed its light on those around us, and that by its brightness we may have a vision of that holy City, where dwells the true and never-failing Light, Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.*

or

O Lord God Almighty, as you have taught us to call the evening, the morning, and the noonday one day; and have made the sun to know its going down: Dispel the darkness of our hearts, that by your brightness we may know you to be the true God and eternal light, living and reigning for ever and ever. Amen.*

or

Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night; for the love of thy only Son, our Savior, Jesus Christ. Amen.*

or

O Gracious Light (Phos hilaron)
O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the everlasting Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!

Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.*
