Morning Prayer

I give thanks unto You, Adonai,
that, in mercy,
You have restored my soul within me.
Endless is Your compassion;
great is Your faithfulness.
I thank You, Adonai,
for the rest You have given me through the night
and for the breath that renews my body and spirit.
Amen.


God’s glory has been revealed in Christ:
O come, let us worship.

Psalm 45:10-17

10 Hear, O daughter, consider and incline your ear;
       forget your people and your father’s house,
11     and the king will desire your beauty.
	Since he is your lord, bow to him;
12     the people of Tyre will seek your favour with gifts,
       the richest of the people 
13     with all kinds of wealth.
	The princess is decked in her chamber with gold-woven robes;[d]
14     in many-coloured robes she is led to the king;
       behind her the virgins, her companions, follow.
15 With joy and gladness they are led along
       as they enter the palace of the king.

16 In the place of ancestors you, O king, shall have sons;
       you will make them princes in all the earth.
17 I will cause your name to be celebrated in all generations;
       therefore the peoples will praise you for ever and ever.

Prayer

The night has passed and the day lies open before us;
let us pray with one heart and mind:

( Silence may be kept)

As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
Amen.
