Most merciful God, 
We confess to you, 
Before the whole company of heaven and one another,

Forgive us our sins, 
Heal us by your Spirit 
And raise us to new life in Christ.

The Collect of the Week

O God the King of glory,
you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ
with great triumph to our kingdom in heaven:
we beseech you, leave us not comfortless,
but send your Holy Spirit to strengthen us
and exalt us to the place where our Saviour Christ is gone before,
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
Amen

The Lord’s Prayer

Being made one in the power of the Spirit,
As our Saviour taught us, so we pray: 
Our Father in heaven, 
hallowed be your name, 
your kingdom come,
your will be done, 
on earth as in heaven. 
Give us today our daily bread. 
Forgive us our sins 
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation 
but deliver us from evil. 
For the kingdom, the power, 
and the glory are yours 
now and for ever. 
Amen. 

The Conclusion

In peace we will lie down and sleep; 
for you alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety. 
Abide with us, Lord Jesus, 
For the night is at hand the day is now past. 
As the night watch looks for the morning, 
so do we look for you, O Christ. 

May the living waters of Christ cleanse us, 
may the Spirit descend upon us, 
and the blessing of God be with us 
this night and always. 
Amen
