MIDNIGHT PRAYER (Matins)

Psalm 125

  1. Those who trust in the Lord are like Mount Zion:
    which cannot be shaken but stands forever.
  2. As the hills enfold Jerusalem:
    so you enfold your people O Lord, now and forever.
  3. The sceptre of the wicked shall not hold sway
    over land assigned to the just:
    lest the just should put out their hand to do evil.
  4. Do good O Lord to those who are good:
    to those who are upright in heart.
  5. As for those who turn aside into crooked ways,
    the Lord shall lead them away with evil-doers:
    but upon Israel there shall be peace.

Collect

Gracious and loving God,
your Son Jesus Christ
prepared himself by vigil and prayer
for his work and witness;
strengthen us in heart and mind
by this remembrance of your grace
to bear witness to your great love
and to work for your kingdom;
through Jesus Christ our Saviour.
Amen.

Prayer

Our Father,
aave us from the time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
Abide with us, O Lord,
for it is toward evening and the day is almost over;
abide with us,
for the days are hastening on
and we hasten with them;
abide with us and with all your faithful people,
until the daystar rises and the morning light appears,
and we shall abide with you for ever . . .
Amen

HE IS RISEN!
