V. Behold, the Lord shall appear upon a shining cloud.
R. And with Him thousands of saints.
Let us pray
Cleanse our consciences, we beseech Thee, O Lord, by Thy visitation, that when Jesus Christ, Thy Son, Our Lord, shall come with all the saints, He may find within us a resting-place made ready for Him. Who liveth and reigneth with Thee in the unity of the Holy Ghost, God, world without end. R. Amen.
V. O Lord, hear my prayer.
R. And let my cry come unto Thee.
V. Let us bless the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
V. May the souls of the faithful departed, through the mercy of God, rest in peace. R. Amen.
Our Father, in silence throughout.
V. May the Lord grant us His peace.
R. And life everlasting. Amen.
Then is said one of the Anthems of the B. V. M. which are at the end of Compline.
