26th Lauds

Good Morning Jesus

You, O Lord, will come to us like showers, like the spring rains that water the earth. . . . .Hosea 6:3 (adapted)

Always be joyful, pray continually;
give thanks, whatever happens.

Lord you were once gracious to your land:
you restored the fortunes of Jacob.
You forgave the offence of your people:
and covered all their sin.
You put away all your displeasure:
and turned from your bitter wrath.
Restore us again O God our saviour:
and let your anger cease from us.
Will you be displeased at us for ever:
will you prolong your wrath from one generation to another?
Will you not revive us again:
so that your people may rejoice in you?
Show us your mercy O Lord:
and give us your saving help.
Let me hear what you will say O Lord:
for you will speak peace to your people,
to your servants whose hearts are turned to you.
For deliverance is at hand for those who fear you:
so that your glory may dwell in our land.
Mercy and faithfulness have met together:
justice and peace have embraced each other.
Faithfulness will spring up from the ground:
and righteousness will look down from heaven.
You Lord will give prosperity:
and our land shall yield its harvest.
Justice shall go before you:
and the path for your feet shall be peace.
