MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

Psalm 63:1-9

  1. Oh God you are my God:
    and earnestly will I seek you.
  2. My soul thirsts for you, my body yearns for you;
    like a land that is dry and thirsty for water.
  3. With this longing I have come before you in the sanctuary:
    that I may see your power and your glory
  4. Your steadfast love is better than life itself:
    therefore my lips will speak your praise.
  5. As long as I live I will bless you:
    and lift up my hands to pray in your name.
  6. I shall be satisfied as with a rich and sumptuous feast:
    and my mouth shall praise you with joyful lips.
  7. When I remember you upon my bed:
    and think of you in the watches of the night,
  8. how you have been my helper:
    how I am safe in the shadow of your wings.
  9. then my soul clings to you:
    and your right hand upholds me.

Collect

Living God, you called your people out of Egypt
and gave them the covenant;
prepare our hearts to hear your call,
so that we may receive with joy the gospel of your Son
and be your faithful people,
now and for ever.
Amen.

Prayer

Our Father in heaven,
the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.

O divine Master,
grant that we may not so much seek to be consoled,
as to console;
to be understood, as to understand;
to be loved, as to love.
For it is in giving that we receive;
it is in pardoning that we are pardoned;
it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.
Amen
