G'nite

I believe I've got a grand total of eight hours sleep the last two nights, so I'm tired. I've also been working allot lately, and it's been hard work (Yeah I know, pastors only work one hour a week, Sunday mornings from 11-12 - I'm laughing on the inside...)

And it's been cold here so that also makes me weird. So I think to myself, ah, it's enough, go to bed.

Then I remember that Thomas is still on the school bus riding home from their one day band trip to Saskatoon, and I'll have to get dressed and go out into that cold and pick him up, sometime after 11:30pm. So it will be another late night and early morning.

So, let's end the day with something good eh?

Evening prayers, brought to you by The Northumbria Community, Hetton Hall, Chatton, Northumberland. (The UK someplace I believe)

 

In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen

My soul waits for the Lord more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.

Out of the depths I have cried to You.

O Lord, hear my voice.

With my whole heart I want to praise You.

O Lord, hear my voice.

If you, Lord, should mark iniquities:

Who could stand? who could stand?

I will wait for the Lord.
My soul waits, and in His word do I hope.

 

Lord, You have always given
bread for the coming day;
and though I am poor,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always given
strength for the coming day;
and though I am weak,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always given
peace for the coming day;
and though of anxious heart,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always kept
me safe in trials;
and now, tried as I am,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always marked
the road for the coming day;
and though it may be hidden,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always lightened
this darkness of mine;
and though the night is here,
today I believe.

Lord, You have always spoken
when time was ripe;
and though you be silent now,
today I believe.

 

Canticle

In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.

The Lord is my light, my salvation;
whom shall I fear?
The Lord is the refuge of my life;
of whom shall I be afraid?

In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.

One thing I ask of the Lord,
one thing I seek;
to dwell in the presence of my God,
to gaze on Your holy place.

In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.

I believe I shall see the goodness
of the Lord in the land of the living.
O wait for the Lord!
Have courage and wait,
wait for the Lord.

In the shadow of Your wings
I will sing Your praises, O Lord.

 

Blessing

See that ye be at peace among yourselves, my children,
and love one another.
Follow the example of good men of old
and God will comfort you and help you,
both in this world
and in the world which is to come.

In the Name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen

 

 

Blessings and good night.
