Introduction
Thank you, Father of us all,
for the goodness we have experienced today
at home or work or 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. Christe, eleison. Kyrie, eleison.
Psalm 120: Guard me, Lord, enfold me in peace. Bless your servant, Lord.
I look up to the hills on high. Where can I find help?
Lord of the Earth! Lord of the Skies! come down, enfold me in peace.
Guard me, Lord, Enfold me in peace. Bless your servant, Lord.
All my help comes from God the Lord, who made heav’n and earth.
He does not fail, He stays awake. Guards me, surrounds me with Love.
Guard me, Lord, Enfold me in peace. Bless your servant, Lord.
God protector of Israel never sleeps on guard.
Be at my side! Guard me with love Lord, in your shadow I lie.
Guard me, Lord, Enfold me in peace. Bless your servant, Lord.
From all evil He keeps me safe. He will guard my soul.
No sun by day, no moon by night. Nothing can harm where I lie.
Guard me, Lord, Enfold me in peace. Bless your servant, Lord.

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 HolySpirit.
Into your hands, Lord, I commend my spirit.

Save us, Lord, whilst 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,
and the glory of your people, Israel.
Let us pray
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.
Blessing
May the Almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end,
a perfect end.
Amen.
