THE OFFICE OF COMPLINE.


LORD, grant Thy blessing.

The Blessing.

MAY the Lord Almighty grant us a quiet night, and a perfect end.

R. Amen.

Short Lesson.

BRETHREN, be sober, and vigilant, for your adversary the devil as a roaring lion goeth about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist strong in faith. And do Thou, O Lord, have mercy on us.

R. Thanks be to God.

V. Our help is in the name of the Lord,

R. Who hath made heaven and earth.

Our Father (inaudibly).

Then follows the Confiteor, p. 35.

Then is said:

CONVERT us, O God our Saviour.

R. And turn away Thine anger from us.

V. Come unto my help, O God.
