The
Compline of Saint Patrick of
Ireland
†
(silently)
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.
Selah
I will praise the Lord who counsels me;
Even at night my heart instructs me.
Selah
I have set the Lord always before me.
Because He is at my right hand,
I shall not be shaken.
Selah
I am placing my soul
and my body
under Your guarding this night, O Christ.
May Your cross shield me tonight. (x 3)
Selah
Into Your hands I commit my spirit;
Redeem me, O Lord, God of Truth.
Selah
The God of life, guard and hold me;
The loving Christ, guard and hold me;
The Holy Spirit, guard and mould me;
Each night of life to help and cover me;
Each day and night of life to uphold me.
Selah
My God shield me;
My God fill me;
My God keep me;
My God watch me;
My God this night, draw me closer to Your love.
The peace of the Father of joy;
The peace of the Christ of hope;
The peace of the Spirit of grace.
Selah
The peace of all peace be mine this night.
Jesus Christ, lover of my soul, Love me. (x 3)
† In the name of the Father,
the Son
and the Holy Spirit.
Amen.
