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.

Listen, Lord, in your mercy, not to our words but to our hearts.

Psalm 5:1-4
Give ear to my words, O Lord : consider my meditation.
Hearken to my cry for help, my King and my God : for I make my prayer to you.
In the morning, Lord, you hear my voice : early in the morning I make my appeal and watch for you.
For you are not a God who takes pleasure in wickedness : and evil cannot dwell with you.

Listen, Lord, in your mercy, not to our words but to our hearts.

1 Samuel 11:1-15
Matthew 25:1-13
