The Call to Prayer
|
|
Ascribe to the LORD the glory due his Name;* worship the LORD in the beauty of
holiness.
The voice of the LORD is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders;* the LORD is
upon the mighty waters.
The voice of the LORD is a powerful voice;* the voice of the LORD is a voice of
splendor.
The voice of the LORD breaks the cedar trees;* the LORD breaks the cedars of
Lebanon;
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf,* and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.
The voice of the LORD splits flames of fire; the voice of the LORD shakes the wilderness;*
the LORD shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the LORD makes the oak trees writhe* and strips the forest bare.
And in the temple of the LORD* all are crying, “Glory!”
The LORD sits enthroned above the flood;* the LORD sits enthroned as King for
evermore.
The LORD shall give strength to his people;* the LORD shall give the blessing of peace. |
|
Psalm 29:2–11
|
The Request for Presence
|
|
O God, you are my God; eagerly I seek you;* my soul thirsts for you, my flesh
faints for you, as in barren and dry land where there is no water.
Therefore I have gazed upon you in your holy place,* that I might behold your
power and your glory.
For your loving-kindness is better than life itself;* my lips shall give you praise.
So will I bless you as long as I live* and lift up my hands in your Name. |
|
Psalm 63:1–4
|
|
|
The Greeting
|
|
|
|
We have heard with our ears, O God, our forefathers have told us,* the deeds you
did in their days, in the days of old.
How with your hand you drove the peoples out and planted our forefathers in the
land;* how you destroyed nations and made your people flourish.
For they did not take the land by their sword, nor did their arm win the victory for
them;* but your right hand, your arm, and the light of your countenance,
because you favored them. |
|
Psalm 44:1–3

Asked by the Pharisees when the kingdom of God was to come, he gave them this
answer, ‘The coming of the kingdom of God does not admit of observation and
there will be no one to say, “Look, it is here! Look, it is there!” For look, the
kingdom of God is among you.’ |

The Morning Psalm
|
|
This God Is Our God For Ever and Ever
|
|
Your praise, like your Name, O God, reaches to the world’s end;* your right hand
is full of justice.
Let Mount Zion be glad and the cities of Judah rejoice,* because of your judgments.
Make the circuit of Zion; walk round about her;* count the number of her towers.
Consider well her bulwarks; examine her strongholds;* that you may tell those
who come after.
This God is our God for ever and ever;* he shall be our guide for evermore. |
|

The Lord's Prayer

|
|
|
Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name.
May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory
forever and ever. Amen.

The Prayer Appointed for the Week

Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles
and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant that all of
us be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a
holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.† |

The Concluding Prayer of the Church
|
|
|
|
Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this
new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor
be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose;
through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.† |
