Morning prayer -

– Lord, hear my voice: I have put all my hope in your words.

I rise at dawn and cry out to you.

– Lord, hear my voice: I have put all my hope in your words.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

– Lord, hear my voice: I have put all my hope in your words.

Psalm 101 (102)

Lord, let my cry come to you: do not hide your face from me.

Lord, listen to my prayer

and let my cry come to you.

Do not hide your face from me...

For my days vanish like smoke,

and my bones are dry as tinder.

My heart is cut down like grass, it is dry –

I cannot remember to eat. ...

My days fade away like a shadow...

But you, Lord, remain for ever...

I will say, “My God, do not take me away

half way through the days of my life.

Your years last from generation to generation:

in the beginning you founded the earth,

and the heavens are the work of your hands. ...

The children of your servants shall live in peace,

their descendants will endure in your sight.” ...
