MatinsO Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Opening Sentance
You heavens above rain down righteousness; let the clouds shower it down. Let the earth open wide, let salvation spring up. . . . .Isaiah 45:8.
Our Sovereign and Saviour draws near:
O come, let us worship.
Psalm 89:1-18
1 I will sing of your steadfast love, O Lord, forever;
with my mouth
I will proclaim your faithfulness to all generations.
2 I declare that your steadfast love
is established forever;
your faithfulness is as firm as the heavens.
3 You said,
‘I have made a covenant with my chosen one,
I have sworn to my servant David:
4 “I will establish your descendants forever,
and build your throne for all generations.”’
Selah
5 Let the heavens praise your wonders, O Lord,
your faithfulness in the assembly of the holy ones.
6 For who in the skies can be compared to the Lord?
Who among the heavenly beings is like the Lord,
7 a God feared in the council of the holy ones,
great and awesome above all that are around him?
8 O Lord God of hosts,
who is as mighty as you, O Lord?
Your faithfulness surrounds you.
9 You rule the raging of the sea;
when its waves rise, you still them.
10 You crushed Rahab like a carcass;
you scattered your enemies with your mighty arm.
11 The heavens are yours, the earth also is yours;
the world and all that is in it
— you have founded them.
12 The north and the south
— you created them;
Tabor and Hermon joyously praise your name.
13 You have a mighty arm;
strong is your hand, high your right hand.
14 Righteousness and justice
are the foundation of your throne;
steadfast love and faithfulness go before you.
15 Happy are the people who know the festal shout,
who walk, O Lord, in the light of your countenance;
16 they exult in your name all day long,
and extol your righteousness.
17 For you are the glory of their strength;
by your favour our horn is exalted.
18 For our shield belongs to the Lord,
our king to the Holy One of Israel.
Special Collect
Almighty God,
give us the grace to cast off the works of darkness
and put on the armour of light,,
now in the time of this mortal life,
in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility;,
so that when he shall come again in his glorious majesty
we may rise to the life immortal;
through him who lives and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit,
one God now and forever.
Amen.
