May the almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end.
Amen.

 

 

 

From the rising of the sun to its setting, great is the name of the Lord.
High above the heavens is his glory.
Glory to the Father, glory to the Son,
glory to the Holy Spirit now and for ever.
Amen.

Introduction

Thank you, Lord, for a good day,
for friendship and understanding,
for love and  for mercy given and received.
forgive us for our faults and failings.

Kyrie, eleison.

 

Psalm 29 I praise you. O Lord, bless you, O Lord, you have rescued me.

I will praise and bless you , Lord, you have rescued me, and have preserved me from enemy scorn.
You have raised my soul from the dead, restored me to life from the edge of the grave.
I praise you. O Lord, bless you, O Lord, you have rescued me.

To his holy name sing psalms of thanksgiving and praise if you truly have love for the Lord;
anger lasts so short a time, while favour continues as long as there is life.
I praise you. O Lord, bless you, O Lord, you have rescued me.

I will thank you, Lord, you change all my mourning to dancing and gladness in unending joy.
Lord, my God, you listened to me, you came to my help, I will thank you evermore.
I praise you. O Lord, bless you, O Lord, you have rescued me.

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, 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

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.

Let us pray
Lord Jesus Christ,
you offer to  those who follow you
a yoke that is good to bear and a burden that is light,
accept all that has been our lives today,
and grant us the rest that we need,
that we may better serve you for ever and ever.
Amen.

Blessing
May the Almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end,
a perfect end.
Amen.
