Introduction
Father of us all, we thank you for all that we have experienced today.
Forgive us our sins and let us grow in goodness
through the love we receive from you and from each other.
Kyrie, eleison.
Psalm 84: Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
I will hear what the Lord God has to say: A voice that speaks of peace;
His help is near for those who fear him and his glory will dwell in our land.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
Mercy and faithfulness have met; Justice and peace have embraced.
Faithfulness shall spring from the earth and justice look down from heaven.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help.
The Lord will make us prosper and our earth shall yield its fruit.
Justice shall march before him, and peace shall follow his steps.
Let us see, O Lord, your mercy, and give us your saving help
Reading
Do not let resentment lead you into sin,
the sunset must not find you still angry.
Do not give the devil his opportunity
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, to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.
– Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit,
Into your hands, Lord, into your hands.
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
All powerful God, you give us leave to go in peace as you have willed.
Our eyes this day have seen your light; in love give quiet, peaceful end.
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.
Let us pray
Lord Jesus Christ, meek and humble of heart,
you offer to those who follow you
a yoke that is good to bear and a burden that is light,
accept our prayer and work of this day
and grant us the rest we need that we may better serve you
who live and reign for ever and ever.
Blessing
May the Almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end,
a perfect end.
Amen.
