John Chrysostom Compline

O God who is one,
O God who is true,
O God who is first,
O God who is one substance,
O God only mighty, in three Persons, truly merciful, forgive.

* O Lord, You will keep us safeand protect us forever.

* O Lord, deprive me not of your heavenly blessings.

*O Lord, deliver me from eternal torment.

*O Lord, if I have sinned in my mind or thought, in word deed, forgive me.

*O Lord, deliver me from every ignorance and heedlessness, from pettiness of the soul and stony hardness of heart;

*O Lord, deliver me from every temptation;

*O Lord, enlighten my heart darkened by evil desire

God, who has given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplications unto you; and does promise, that when two or three are gathered together in your Name you will grant their requests : Fulfil now, O Lord, the desires and petitions of your servants, as may be most fitting for them ; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the world to come life everlasting.
Amen.

*O Lord, implant in me the root of all blessings.

*O Lord, vouchsafe that I may love you with all my heart and soul, and that I may obey in all things your will;

*O Lord, shield me from evil persons and devils and passions and all other lawless matters;

In the name of The Father and of The son and of The Holy Spirit

Amen
