11. Prayer of Release (Compline)

End of Day PRAYER POINT

Watch over me when I am awake, O Lord, and guard me when I am asleep; that awake I may be alert with Christ, and asleep I may rest in peace.

Song of Simeon (from Luke 2:29-35)

Lord, you now have set your servant free *
to go in peace as you have promised;

For these eyes of mine have seen the Savior, *
whom you have prepared for all the world to see:

A Light to enlighten the nations, *
and the glory of your people Israel.

Gloria

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Watch over me when I am awake, O Lord, and guard me when I am asleep; that awake I may be alert with Christ, and asleep I may rest in peace.
