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.

O Lord, you stretched out the heavens : make room for us at your banquet table.

Psalm 102:25-28
“In the beginning, O Lord, you laid the foundations of the earth : and the heavens are the work of your hands;
they shall perish, but you will endure; they all shall wear out like a garment : as clothing you will change them, and they shall be changed;
but you are always the same : and your years will never end.
The children of your servants shall continue : and their offspring shall stand fast in your sight.”

O Lord, you stretched out the heavens : make room for us at your banquet table.

2 Samuel 1:1-16
Romans 8:1-11
