Psalm 122

  1. I was glad when they said to me,
    ‘Let us go to the house of the Lord!’
  2. Our feet are standing
    within your gates, O Jerusalem.
  3. Jerusalem — built as a city
    that is bound firmly together.
  4. To it the tribes go up,
    the tribes of the Lord,
    as was decreed for Israel,
    to give thanks to the name of the Lord.
  5. For there the thrones for judgement were set up,
    the thrones of the house of David.
  6. Pray for the peace of Jerusalem:
    ‘May they prosper who love you.
  7. Peace be within your walls,
    and security within your towers.’
  8. For the sake of my relatives and friends
    I will say, ‘Peace be within you.’
  9. For the sake of the house of the Lord our God,
    I will seek your good.

Collect

O God, who in the work of creation
commanded the light to shine out of darkness:
we pray that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ
may shine into the hearts of all your people,
dispelling the darkness of ignorance and unbelief
and revealing to them the knowledge of your glory
in the face of Jesus Christ our Lord . . .
Amen.

Prayer

Our Father,

Be our light in the darkness, Lord we pray,
and in your great mercy
defend us from all perils and dangers of this night;
for the love of your only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen
