Complines II

Saturday -- The Patrick Compline

*In the name of the King of life;

in the name of the Christ of love;

in the name of the Holy Spirit:

the Triune of my strength.

*I love you, O Lord my strength.

The Lord is my rock,

my fortress and my deliverer.

My God is my rock

in whom I take refuge.

*I will praise the Lord who counsels me;

even at night my heart instructs me.

*I have set the Lord always before me.

Because He is at my right hand,

I shall not be shaken.

*I am placing my soul and my body

under Thy guarding this night, O Christ.

May Thy cross this night be shielding me.

*Into Your hands I commit my spirit;

redeem me, O Lord, the God of Truth.

*The God of life with guarding hold you;

the living Christ with guarding fold you;

the Holy Sprit, guarding, mould you;

each night of life to aid, enfold you;

each day and night of life uphold you.

*May God shield me;

may God fill me;

may God keep me;

may God watch me;

may God bring me this night

to the nearness of His lvoe.

*The peace of the Father of joy,

the peace of the Christ of hope,

the peace of the Spirit of grace,

*the peace of all peace

be mine this night

in the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.
