Introduction
Thank you, Father of us all, for the goodness we have experienced today
at home or working wherever else we have been.
Forgive us for any lack of kindness, mercy or generosity we have shown to others.
Let us rest well so that tomorrow we may be more full of life and kinder to others.
Kyrie, eleison.
Psalm 39: Here I am, O Lord, I come to do your will.
I waited, I waited for the Lord. He stooped and he heard my cry.
He put a new song in my mouth, a song in the praise of our God.
Here I am, O Lord! I come to do your will.
You ask not for sacrifice and offerings. You ask for an open ear.
You ask not for holocaust or victim. Instead, Oh my God, here I am.
Here I am, O Lord! I come to do your will.
In the scroll of the book it stands written that I listen and do your will.
My God I delight in your law, your law finds its home in my heart.
Here I am, O Lord! I come to do your will.
Reading
Lord, you are in our midst. We are called by your name.
Do not desert us, O Lord, our God.
Into your hands
Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit,
– Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit,
You have redeemed us, Lord, God of faithfulness,
– 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.
from the Song of Simeon:
Lord, let your servant go in peace just as you promised long ago,
for my eyes have seen the salvation which you prepared for the nations to see,
a light to enlighten the pagans and the glory of your people, Israel,
and the glory of your people, Israel.
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.
Blessing
May the almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end,
a perfect end. Amen.
Give us grace, almighty God,
so to unite ourselves in faith with your only Son who died and lay buried in the tomb
that we may rise again in newness of life with him
who lives and reigns for ever and ever. Amen.
A perfect end. Amen.
