A typical order of Matins from the Lutheran tradition is found in the Lutheran Service Book, the recently (2006) published hymnal of the Lutheran Church - Missouri Synod. 
The order of Matins is as follows:
*Opening Versicles with Gloria Patri
*Invitatory and Venite, with Invitatory repeated
*Additional Psalms
*Office Hymn
*Reading(s)
*Responsory
*Canticle (Te Deum or Benedictus)
*Kyrie
*Our Father
*Collect of Day
*Others Collects and Prayers 
*Collect for Grace (originally from Prime (liturgy))
*Benedicamus
*Benediction
This order combines features that were found in the Medieval orders of Matins, Lauds, and Prime into a single morning service. Lutherans in general retained the Order of Matins for use in schools and in larger city parishes throughout the 16th and 17th centuries. The orders experienced a revival in the Confessional Renewal that took place in the 19th century, and now have a stable place in modern Lutheran liturgical books.
