Compline (Night prayer) is a part of the Divine Office in the Roman Rite that is (traditionally) said or sung before going to bed, especially in monasteries. Sometimes it is celebrated after Vespers (Evening prayer); indeed, in the Anglican Rite Vespers and Compline have been combined in a single service which, when sung, is known as Choral Evensong.

German Wikipedia (linked below) gives a table comparing the 1911 and 1975 books with Lutheran Night Prayer.
