The Great Compline

One of the characteristic services of the Great Lent is the Great Compline. The Great Compline is made up of ten of readings from the Psalms interspersed with chants, troparia, and prayers from saints of Church and the Old Testament followed by the lesser Doxology. The most characteristic chant is "God is with us" or Μεθ᾽ ἡμῶν ὁ Θεός which comes from Isaiah 9.

God is with us, know it you nations and be submissive,
For God is with us.

Hear it to the ends of the earth.
For God is with us.

You mighty shall be defeated.
For God is with us.

Even if you should prevail, again you will be defeated,
For God is with us.

Whatever plan you conceive, the Lord will destroy,
For God is with us.

Whatever word you shall speak shall not abide among you,
For God is with us.

Your terror we shall never fear, nor be disturbed by it,
For God is with us.

The Lord, our God, him shall we bless, and only him do we fear.
For God is with us.

And if I trust in him, it shall be a blessing to me,
For God is with us.

And I shall trust in him, and shall, be saved by him,
For God is with us.

Lo, I and the children which God has given to me,
For God is with us.

The people that walked in darkness saw a great light,
For God is with us.

Upon us, who dwell in the land of the shadow of death, a light shall shine,
For God is with us.

For a Child was born unto us, a Son, and was given to us,
For God is with us.

Whose government is upon his shoulder,
For God is with us.

And of his peace, there shall be no boundary,
For God is with us.

And his name shall be called: Messenger of the Divine Will,
For God is with us.

Wonderful Counselor,
For God is with us.

Mighty God, Master, Prince of Peace,
For God is with us.

Father of the age to come,
For God is with us.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
For God is with us.

Now and ever and to the ages of ages. Amen.
For God is with us.

The two choruses together, slowly:

God is with us, know it you nations and be submissive,
For God is with us.
