MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

Psalm 125

  1. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion:
    which cannot be shaken but stands forever.
  2. As the hills enfold Jerusalem:
    so you enfold your people O Lord, now and forever.
  3. The sceptre of the wicked shall not hold sway
    over land assigned to the just:
    lest the just should put out their hand to do evil.
  4. Do good O Lord to those who are good:
    to those who are upright in heart.
  5. As for those who turn aside into crooked ways,
    the Lord shall lead them away with evil-doers:
    but upon Israel there shall be peace.

Collect

Gracious and loving God,
your Son Jesus Christ
prepared himself by vigil and prayer
for his work and witness;
strengthen us in heart and mind
by this remembrance of your grace
to bear witness to your great love
and to work for your kingdom;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.

Listening

Come now, Holy Spirit,
and open our hearts to hear God’s voice.
Come now, Word of God, and transform us.
Amen.

Thank Him for 3 things that happened today (Good or Not!)

Closing Prayer

Ruler of the everlasting kingdom,
Prince of peace,
champion of the despised:
You are the king;
You make a cross your throne;
You wear a crown of thorns;
You call your subjects friends.
Help us to take up our cross,
To hunger and thirst for all that is good;
Then will your kingdom come
on earth as in heaven.
Amen
