O GOD of truth, O Lord of might, Who orderest time and change aright, And sendest the early morning ray, And lightest the glow of perfect day; Extinguish thou each sinful fire, And banish every ill desire; And while thou keepest the body whole, Shed forth thy peace upon the soul. O Father, that we ask be done, Through Jesus Christ, thine only Son, Who, with the Holy Ghost and thee, Doth live and reign eternally. Amen.
The Psalms are said.
Psalm 123
U1NTO thee lift I up mine eyes : O thou that dwellest in the heavens.
2Behold, even as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress : even so our eyes wait upon the Lord our God, until he have mercy upon us.
3Have mercy upon us, O Lord, have mercy upon us : for we are utterly despised.
4Our soul is filled with the scornful reproof of the wealthy : and with the despitefulness of the proud.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
Psalm 124
I1F THE Lord himself had not been on our side, now may Israel say : if the Lord himself had not been on our side, when men rose up against us;
2They had swallowed us up quick : when thy were so wrathfully displeased at us.
3Yea, the waters had drowned us : and the stream had gone over our soul.
4The deep waters of the proud : had gone even over our soul.
5But praised be the Lord : who hath not given us over for a prey unto their teeth.
6Our soul is escaped even as a bird out of the snare of the fowler : the snare is broken, and we are delivered.
7Our help standeth in the Name of the Lord : who hath made heaven and earth.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
Psalm 125
T1HEY that put their trust in the Lord shall be even as the mount Sion : which may not be removed, but standeth fast for ever.
2The hills stand about Jerusalem : even so standeth the Lord round about his people, from this time forth for evermore.
3For the rod of the ungodly cometh not into the lot of the righteous : lest the righteous put their hand unto wickedness.
4Do well, O Lord : unto those that are good and true of heart.
5As for such as turn back unto their own wickedness : the Lord shall lead them forth with the evil-doers; but peace shall be upon Israel.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.
K19now this, my beloved brothers: let every person be quick to hear, slow to speak, slow to anger;
20for the anger of man does not produce the righteousness of God.
26If anyone thinks he is religious and does not bridle his tongue but deceives his heart, this person's religion is worthless.
James 1:19-20, 26
As long as I live will I magnify thee;
When my mouth praiseth thee with joyful lips.
O Lord, hear our prayer.
And let our cry come unto thee.
Let us pray.
