Speaking about Morning Prayer...

I call with all my heart; Lord, hear me,
I will keep your commands.
I call upon you, save me
and I will do your will.

I rise before dawn and cry for help,
I hope in your word,
My eyes watch through the night
to ponder your promise.

In your love hear my voice, O Lord;
I hope in your word.
My eyes watch through the night
to ponder your promise.

In your love hear my voice, O Lord;
give me life by your decrees.
Those who harm me unjustly draw near:
they are far from your law.

But you, O Lord, are close:
your commands are truth.
Long have I known that your will
is established for ever.


In your mercy you led the people you redeemed;
in your strength you guided them to your holy dwelling.


Be solicitous to make your call and election permanent, brothers; surely those who do so will never be lost. On the contrary, your entry into the everlasting kingbdom of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ will be richly provided for.


I cry to you, O Lord, for you are my refuge.
-I cry to you, O Lord, for you are my refuge.
You are all I desire in the land of the living;
-for you are my refuge.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit,
-I cry to you, O Lord, for you are my refuge.


Lord, free us from the dark night of death.
Let the light of resurrection
dawn within our hearts
to bring us to the radiance of eternal life.
