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 sing to the Lord : let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.

How happy upon the hills are the feet of those who bring good news.

Psalm 45:1-4
My heart is stirring with a noble song; let me recite what I have fashioned for the king : my tongue shall be the pen of a skilled writer.
You are the fairest of men : grace flows from your lips, because God has blessed you for ever.
Strap your sword upon your thigh, O mighty warrior : in your pride and in your majesty.
Ride out and conquer in the cause of truth : and for the sake of justice.

How happy upon the hills are the feet of those who bring good news.

Numbers 13:1-3, 21-30
Luke 5:27-39
