And "now as we come to the setting of the sun" as the Book of Common Prayer says....
When I face West I pray from 2 Corinthians 4:8-9 using King James version because it sings beter!
"We are troubled on every side, yet not distressed;
we are
perplexed, but not in despair;
We are persecuted, but not forsaken;
cast down, but not
destroyed."
I love Compline.

Sounds a bit like some of the Celtic prayers..I do miss the prayer book at times.
