Prayer
Living Christ, you are risen from the dead!
Love reigns!
You are life stronger than death;
raise our eyes to see you
as the new day dawns
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - Longing for God
- As a deer longs for flowing streams,
so my soul longs for you, O God. - My soul thirsts for God,
for the living God.
When shall I come and behold
the face of God?
- Vindicate me, O God, and defend my cause
against an ungodly people;
from those who are deceitful and unjust
deliver me! - For you are the God in whom I take refuge;
why have you cast me off?
Why must I walk about mournfully
because of the oppression of the enemy? - O send out your light and your truth;
let them lead me;
let them bring me to your holy hill
and to your dwelling. - Then I will go to the altar of God,
to God my exceeding joy;
and I will praise you with the harp,
O God, my God.
