O Lord, let my soul rise up to meet you
as the day rises to meet the sun.

Praise to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever.

Come, let us bow down and bend the knee : let us kneel before the Lord our Maker.

Our lives, O Lord, are in your hand : hold us up that we might stand.

Psalm 138:7-9
Though the Lord be high, he cares for the lowly : he perceives the haughty from afar.
Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me safe : you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies; your right hand shall save me.
The Lord will make good his purpose for me : O Lord, your love endures for ever; do not abandon the works of your hands.

Our lives, O Lord, are in your hand : hold us up that we might stand.

Genesis 42:18-28
Hebrews 13:1-16
