Introduction
Father of us all, we than 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 othe
Kyrie, eleison. Christe, eleison. Kyrie, eleison.
Psalm 68
Hear my prayer, answer me, Lord, turn to me in your goodness.
Hear my prayer, answer me, Lord, turn to me in your love.
This is my prayer to you, my heartfelt prayer to you:
In your love, Lord, answer me, with a help that never fails,
In your kindness answer, in compassion turn to me.
Hear my prayer, answer me, Lord, turn to me in your goodness.
Hear my prayer, answer me, Lord, turn to me in your love.
In poverty and pain, your help will lift me up.
I will praise your name in song, glorify and give you thanks.
In your kindness answer, in compassion turn to me.
Hear my prayer, answer me, Lord, turn to me in your goodness.
Hear my prayer, answer me, Lord, turn to me in your love.
Reading
May the God who gives us peace make you completely his
and keep your whole being, spirit, soul and body, free from all fault
at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
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.
Lord, you are in our midst, we are called by your name,
do not desert us, O Lord our God.
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
In your mercy, Lord, dispel the darkness of this night.
Let your household so sleep in peace
that at the dawn of a new day they may, with joy, waken in your name
through Christ our Lord.
Blessing
May the Almighty Lord grant us a quiet night and a perfect end,
a perfect end.
Amen.
