A Compline

I LIE DOWN THIS NIGHT

I LIE down this night with God,

And God will lie down with me ;

I lie down this night with Christ,

And Christ will lie down with me ;

I lie down this night with Spirit,

And the Spirit will lie down with me

God and Christ and the Spirit

Be lying down with me.

( a compline is a night, or retiring prayer, in the rhythm of the daily office )
