The Morning Office

God has gone up with a shout,* the LORD with the sound of the ram's horn. Sing praises to God, sing praises;* sing praises to our King, sing praises. For God is king of all the earth;* sing praises with all your skill. God reigns over the nations;* God sits upon his holy throne.

Early in the morning I cry out to you,* for in your word is my trust.

Not to us, O LORD, not to us, but to your Name give glory;* because of your love and because of your faithfulness.

Those who are planted in the house of the LORD* shall flourish in the courts of our God.

Jesus taught us, saying: "The Father loves the Son and has entrusted everything to his hands. Anyone who believes in the Son has eternal life, but anyone who refuses to believe in the Son will never see life: God's retribution hangs over him."

Those who are planted in the house of the LORD* shall flourish in the courts of our God.

He has not dealt with us according to our sins,* nor rewarded us according to our wickedness. For as the heavens are high above the earth,* so is his mercy great upon those who fear him. As far as the east is from the west,* so far has he removed our sins from us. As a father cares for his children,* so does the LORD care for those who fear him. For he himself knows whereof we are made;* he remembers that we are but dust.

Those who are planted in the house of the LORD* shall flourish in the courts of our God.

'I am the Alpha and the Omega,' says the Lord God, who is, who was, and who is to come, the Almighty.

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name. May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen.

Almighty and everlasting God, increase in me the gifts of faith, hope, and charity; and, that I may obtain what you promise, make me love what you command; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen.
