Compline: Night Prayer

Now that the daylight dies away,
By all thy grace and love,
Thee, Maker of the world, we pray
To watch our bed above.
Let dreams depart and phantoms fly,
The offspring of the night,
Keep us, like shrines, beneath thine eye,
Pure in our foe’s despite.
This grace on thy redeemed confer,
Father, co-equal Son,
And Holy Ghost, the Comforter,
Eternal Three in One.

Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.
–Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.
-You have redeemed us, Lord God of truth.
–Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
– Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.

Save us, Lord,
While we are awake;
Protect us while we sleep;
That we may keep watch with Christ
And rest with him in peace.

Now, Master, you let your servant go in peace.
You have fulfilled your promise.
My own eyes have seen your salvation,
Which you have prepared in the sight of all peoples.
A light to bring the Gentiles from darkness;
The glory of your people Israel.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end.
Amen.

Come to visit us, Lord, this night,
so that by your strength we may rise at daybreak
To rejoice in the resurrection of Christ, your Son,
Who lives and reigns for ever and ever.
Amen.

Hail, Queen of Heaven
Hail, Lady of the Angels.
Root of our salvation,
And our gateway to heaven,
The light of the world was born to you,
Be joyful, Virgin of Glory,
Most beautiful of all in heaven.
We greet you now, true beauty,
Pray for us to Christ.

Good night Holy Mother.
Lord, Jesus Christ,
Son of God,
Have mercy on me a sinner.
