MatinsO Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Opening Sentance
God is my salvation; I will trust, and will not be afraid, for the Lord God is my strength and my might.. . . . .Isaiah 12:2
Prayer
Blessèd are you, Sovereign God, creator of all;
To you be glory and praise for ever!
You founded the earth in the beginning
and the heavens are the work of your hands.
As we rejoice in the gift of your presence among us,
let the light of your love always shine in our hearts
and your praises ever be on our lips,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Amen.
Psalm 31
- In you Lord I have taken refuge:
let me never be put to shame, - deliver me in your righteousness:
incline your ear to me
come quickly to my rescue. - Be to me a rock of refuge:
a stronghold to keep me safe. - You are to me a rock and a fortress:
for your name's sake lead me and guide me. - Release me from the net they have secretly laid for me:
for you O Lord are my strength. - Into your hands I commend my spirit:
for you have redeemed me, O Lord God of truth. - You hate those who pay regard to worthless idols:
but I put my trust in the Lord. - I will be glad and rejoice in your mercy:
for you have seen my affliction,
and taken heed of my soul's distress. - You have not given me up to the power of the enemy:
you have set my feet where I may walk at liberty.
Prayer
The night has passed and the day lies open before us;
Gird us with your armour Lord
and the protection of your love,
over us and our loved ones:
(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.
