Compline (Before Bed)

COMPLINE, the evening office, the last of the day, chanted by Fr. Ron Shibley, Rector, St. John Chrysostom Orthodox Anglican Church.  From Hear Us, O Lord: Daily Offices for the Laity. Get your own copy at the Our Publications page. Compline is said just before bedtime.  In it the faithful thank the Lord for the gift of the day just past and ask His protection from evil ( both in thought and acts) during the overnight hours.
