O Lord, open our lips;
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Opening Sentance

Happy is the person who meditates on wisdom and reasons intelligently. . . . .Ecclesiasticus 14:20.

Christ speaks the truth in every age:
O come, let us worship.

Psalm 19:7-14

  1. The law of the Lord is perfect, refreshing the soul:
    the instruction of the Lord is sure, and gives wisdom to the simple.
  2. The precepts of the Lord are right,
    and rejoice the heart:
    the commandment of the Lord is pure
    and gives light to the eyes.
  3. The fear of the Lord is clean, and endures forever:
    the judgments of the Lord are true and righteous every one.
  4. They are more to be desired than gold, even much fine gold:
    sweeter also than honey, pure honey from the comb.
  5. By them is your servant taught:
    and for keeping them there is great reward.
  6. Who can discern unwitting sins?
    O cleanse me from my secret faults.
  7. Keep your servant also from presumptuous sins,
    lest they get the better of me:
    then shall I be clean, and innocent of great offence.
  8. Let the words of my mouth and the thoughts of my heart:
    be acceptable in your sight, O Lord my strength and my redeemer.

Prayer

The night has passed and the day lies open before us;
let us pray with one heart and mind:

( Silence may be kept)

As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,
so may the light of your presence, O God,
set our hearts on fire with love for you;
now and for ever.
Amen.
