Another way of singing The Conclusion
We will lay us down in peace and take our rest.
For it is thou, Lord, on ly that mak est us dwell in safe ty.
Or the versicle and response may be said without note.
Then shall follow without note
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.
[Come with the dawning of the day
and make thyself known in the breaking of bread.]
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.
[May the souls of the faithful, through the mercy of God, rest in peace.
Amen.]
