There isn't a prayer for the first night of Passover. There is a ritual meal, that includes dozens of prayers along with the re-telling of the story of the Exodus from Egypt.
Jews say prayers of thanks to the Lord for leading them out of Egypt.
First, there is the Passover Seder, the evening meal on the first night (or first 2 nights) of Passover. (One or two nights depending on where you live and on whether you are Reform or not.) The Seder is a meal, but it has a liturgy, and that liturgy includes a number of prayers as well as a recitation of the story of the first Passover and some rabbinic commentaries on the story.
Second, there is a Passover insert added to the Amidah in the normal daily prayer cycle. Versions of the Amidah are said 3 times daily, day in and day out, so this insertion is repeated over 20 times during the week of Passover.
There are 2 pieces to this: First, there is the liturgy of the Passover Seder, and second, the extra prayers added to the 3-times daily prayer services of the daily liturgy.
The Seder is a festival meal in the middle of a rather long service intended to be said around the dinner table. The entire ritual takes over an hour, and it includes an expanded version of the blessings before eating the meal, the grace after meals, special blessings for the symbolic foods that begin the meal, the Hallel psalms, with the blessings that introduce those psalms, a selection of quotations from the story of the exodus, with commentary, and more.
During the daily prayers, the Amidah (the standing prayer at the center of the service) is extended with an added Passover paragraph. In addition, the Hallel psalms are added to every morning service, an extra Torah reading is added (a bit boring, reading about the festival sacrifices), and a festival Musaf service is added. The Sabbath morning service is bulked up by these, as is the Festival morning service on the first an final days of the festival. Many observant Jews do the afternoon and evening prayers at home, but observant Jews frequently attend synagogue on the first and final days of Passover as well as any intermediate Sabbaths.
Passover is a week-long festival, so all of the daily and Sabbath prayers are said during Passover. In addition, because it is a festival, Hallel is said during every morning service. Hallel is a series of psalms of praise, bracketed by blessings. In addition, again because it is a festival, the Shabbat Musaf service is replaced by the festival Musaf service, which is also appended to all of the morning services. Then, of course, there is the liturgy of the Passover Seder, the festive meal said on the first night (or first two nights) of Passover. The Seder liturgy is a retelling of the story of the Exodus and also of the discussions between the Sages about the exodus, plus the Hallel psalms and the usual blessings surrounding a festival meal. The Seder begins with candle lighting, Borei Pri Hagafen (the blessing before the first cup of wine) and the Shehechianu (praising God for bringing us to this time). There is another Borei Pri Hagaven (and more wine) before the Ha-Motzi (the blessing for bread) which is augmented with Achilot Matzah, the blessing for eating Matzah.
