An Order for Coline INTROIT PREPARATION The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. Amen. [Brethren,] be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist, steadfast in the faith. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. Thanks be to God. Our help is in the name of the Lord who hath made heaven and earth. A period of silence for reflection on the past day may follow We confess to God almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, that we have sinned in thought, word and deed, through our own grievous fault. Wherefore we pray God to have mercy upon us. Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us all our sins and deliver us from all evil, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and bring us to life everlasting; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. May the almighty and merciful Lord grant unto you pardon and remission of all your sins, time for amendment of life, and the grace and comfort of the Holy Spirit. Amen O God, make speed to save us O Lord, make haste to help us Glory be to the Father, and to the Son And to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, World without end. Amen. Praise ye the Lord The Lord s name be praised. OFFICE HYMN (turn over, then into Psalm 4)
Before the ending of the day OFFICE HYMN COMPLINE Te lucis ante terminum Before the ending of the day, Creator of the world, we pray That with thy wonted favour thou Wouldst be our guard and keeper now. From all ill dreams defend our eyes, From nightly fears and fantasies; Tread under foot our ghostly foe, That no pollution we may know. O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son; Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Doth live and reign eternally. Amen. Latin, J. M. Neale 1818-66
Psalm 4 Cum invocarem p mf dim. p 1. Hear me when I call O God of my righteousness : thou hast set me at liberty when I was in trouble * have mercy upon me and hearken unto my prayer. 2. O ye sons of men how long will ye blas- pheme mine honour : and have such pleasure in vanity and seek af ter leasing? 3. Know this also that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly : when I call up on the Lord he will hear me. 4. Stand in awe and sin not : commune with your own heart and in your chamber and be still. 5. Offer the sacrifice of righteousness : and put your trust in the Lord. 6. There be many that say : Who will show us any good? 7. Lord lift thou up: the light of thy countenance up- on us. 8. Thou hast put gladness in my heart : since the time that their corn and wine and oil increased. 9. I will lay me down in peace and take my rest : for it is thou Lord only that makest me dwell in safety. Glory be to the Father and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be : world without end. A - - - men.
SCRIPTURE READING RESPONSORY Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Into thy hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. For thou hast redeemed me, O Lord, thou God of truth. I commend my spirit. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son And to the Holy Ghost Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Keep me as the apple of an eye. Hide me under the shadow of thy wings. THE NUNC DIMITTIS Preserve us, O Lord, while waking, and guard us while sleeping, that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace. (turn to p. 30) Preserve us, O Lord PRAYERS Lord, have mercy upon us Christ, have mercy upon us Lord, have mercy upon us Our father, which art in heaven Blessed art thou, Lord God of our fathers: to be praised and glorified above all for ever. Let us bless the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost: let us praise him and magnify him for ever. Blessed art thou, O Lord, in the firmament of heaven: to be praised and glorified above all for ever. The almighty and most merciful Lord guard us and give us his blessing. Amen. THE COLLECT ANTHEM (turn over) HYMN (turn over) THE CONCLUSION We will lay us down in peace and take our rest. For it is thou, Lord, only that makest us dwell in safety. Abide with us, O Lord, for it is toward evening and the day is far spent. As the watchmen look for the morning, so do we look for thee, O Christ. The Lord be with you and with thy spirit. Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God. The almighty and merciful Lord, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, bless us and preserve us. Amen.
My God, I love thee My God, I love thee; not because I hope for heav n thereby, Nor yet because who love thee not Are lost eternally. Thou, O my Jesus, thou didst me Upon the Cross embrace; For me didst bear the nails and spear, And manifold disgrace. And griefs and torments numberless, And sweat of agony; E en death itself; and all for one Who was thy enemy. Then why, O blessèd Jesu Christ, Should I not love thee well, Not for the sake of winning heaven, Or of escaping hell; Not with the hope of gaining aught, Not seeking a reward; But as thyself hast lovèd me, O ever-loving Lord! E en so I love thee, and will love, And in thy praise will sing, Solely because thou art my God, And my eternal King. 17 th -century Latin Edward Caswall 1814-78

Psalm 121 Levavi oculos p 1. I will lift up mine eyes un to the hills : From whence cometh my help. 2. My help cometh even from the Lord : who hath made heaven and earth. 3. He will not suffer thy foot to be moved : and he that keepeth thee will not sleep. 4. Behold he that keepeth Is rael : shall neither slumber nor sleep. dim. p 5. The Lord him- self is thy keeper : the Lord is thy de- fence up on thy right hand; 6. So that the sun shall not burn thee by day : -- neither the moon by night. 7. The Lord shall pre- serve thee from all evil : yea it is even he that shall keep thy soul. 8. The Lord shall preserve thy going out and thy coming in : from this time forth for ever- more. Glory be to the Father and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be : world without end. A - - - men.
Forty days and forty nights Forty days and forty nights Thou wast fasting in the wild, Forty days and forty nights Teted and yet undefiled. Sunbeams scorching all the day. Chilly dewdrops nightly shed, Prowling beasts about thy way, Stones thy pillow, earth thy bed. Let us thine endurance share, And awhile from joys abstain, With thee watching unto prayer, Strong with thee to suffer pain. And if Satan, vexing sore, Flesh or spirit should assail, Thou, his vanquisher before, Grant we may not faint nor fail. So shall we have peace divine, Holier gladness ours shall be, Round us too shall angels shine, Such as ministered to thee. Keep, O keep us, Saviour dear, Ever constant by thy side, That with thee we may appear At the eternal Eastertide. G. H. Smyttan 1822-70 and Francis Pott 1832-1909
Psalm 27 Dominus illuminatio f mf cresc. f 2 nd Part mf 2 nd Part 1. THE Lord is my light and my salvation * whom then shall I fear : the Lord is the strength of my life * of whom then shall I be af- raid? 2. When the wicked even mine enemies and my foes came upon me to eat up my flesh : they stumbled and fell. 3. Though an host of men were laid against me yet shall not my heart be af- raid : and though there rose up war against me yet will I put my trust in him. 4. One thing have I desired of the Lord which I will re- quire : even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life * to behold the fair beauty of the Lord and to visit his tele. 5. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle : yea in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me and set me up up on a rock of stone. 6. And now shall he lift up mine head : above mine ene mies round a- bout me. 7. Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness : I will sing and speak praises unto the Lord. 8. Hearken unto my voice O Lord when I cry un to thee : have mercy up- on me and hear me. 9. My heart hath talked of thee Seek ye my face : Thy face Lord will I seek. 10. O hide not thou thy face from me : nor cast thy servant a- way in dis- pleasure. 11. Thou hast been my succour : leave me not neither for- sake me O God of my sal- vation. 12. When my father and my mother for- sake me : the Lord taketh me up.
mf cresc. f 13. Teach me thy way O Lord : and lead me in the right way be- cause of mine enemies. 14. Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries : for there are false witnesses risen up against me and such as speak wrong. 15. I should utterly have fainted : but that I believe verily to see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 16. O tarry thou the Lord's leisure : be strong and he shall comfort thine heart * and put thou thy trust in the Lord. Glory be to the Father and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be : world without end. A - - - men.
O sacred head, sore wounded 1. O sacred head, sore wounded, Defiled and put to scorn; O kingly head surrounded With mocking crown of thorn: What sorrow mars thy grandeur? Can death thy bloom deflower? O countenance whose splendour The hosts of heaven adore! 2. In thy most bitter passion My heart to share doth cry, With thee for my salvation upon the cross to die. Ah, keep my heart thus movèd To stand thy cross beneath, To mourn thee, well-belovèd, Yet thank thee for thy death. 3. My days are few, O fail not, With thine immortal power, To hold me that I quail not In death's most fearful hour; That I may fight befriended, And see in my last strife To me thine arms extended Upon the cross of life.
