Morning Prayer

L. god came to my assistance.

R. Lord, make haste to help me
Glory to the father
HYMN: In your mercy, Lord, you called me,
Taught my sinful heart and mind,
Else this world had still enthralled me,
And to glory kept me blind.
Lord I did not freely choose you
Till by grace you set me free;
But my heart would still refuse you
Had your love not chosen me
Now my heart sets none above you,
For your grace alone I thirst,
Knowing well, that if I love you,
You, o lord, have loved me first.
PSALMODY:

Cantor2:
Give thanks to the lord upon the lyre,
With a ten stringed harpsing him songs
O sings him a song that is new,
Play loudly with all your skill. (R) Blesses
Cantor3:
For the world of the lord is faithful
And all his works to be trusted.
The lord loves justice and right
And fills the earth with his love. (R) Blesses
ALL- Glory to the father
