DAILY EXTRAS for Morning Prayer

THURSDAY MORNING PRAYER 

​

O Lord, open our lips.

All        and our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

Reveal among us the light of your presence  

All        that we may behold your power and glory.

​

Blessed are you, creator of all,

to you be praise and glory for ever.

As your dawn renews the face of the earth

bringing light and life to all creation,

may we rejoice in this day you have made;

as we wake refreshed from the depths of sleep,

open our eyes to behold your presence

and strengthen our hands to do your will,

that the world may rejoice and give you praise.

Blessed be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

All        Blessed be God for ever.                                                    from Psalm 98                                                                                                            ​

The night has passed, and the day lies open before us;

let us pray with one heart and mind.

                                 Silence is kept

As we rejoice in the gift of this new day,

so may the light of your presence, O God,

set our hearts on fire with love for you;

now and for ever.

All        Amen.

THE WORD OF GOD     Psalm refrain is read...

All        Glory to the Father and to the Son 

             and to the Holy Spirit

             as it was in the beginning 

             is now and shall be for ever. Amen

​

             Rejoice in the Lord, who will have mercy,

             in our God who will richly pardon.

BIBLE  READING​

​

Fear not, for I have redeemed you.

I have called you by name; you are mine.

All        Fear not, for I have redeemed you.

            I have called you by name; you are mine.

When you pass through the waters, I will be with you.

When you walk through fire, you shall not be burned.

All        I have called you by name; you are mine.

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit.

All        Fear not, for I have redeemed you.

            I have called you by name; you are mine.                                                              from Isaiah 43                                                                           

BIBLE REFLECTION

​

Almighty God, we thank you for the gift of your holy word.

May it be a lantern to our feet, a light upon our paths, 

and a strength to our lives.

​​

Blessed be the Lord the God of Israel, 

who has come to his people and set them free.

All        He has raised up for us a mighty Saviour, 

             born of the house of his servant David.

Through his holy prophets God promised of old 

to save us from our enemies,

from the hands of all that hate us,

All        To show mercy to our ancestors, 

             and to remember his holy covenant.

This was the oath God swore to our father Abraham: 

to set us free from the hands of our enemies,

All        Free to worship him without fear, 

             holy and righteous in his sight

             all the days of our life.

And you, child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, 

for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,

All        To give his people knowledge of salvation 

             by the forgiveness of all their sins.

In the tender compassion of our God 

the dawn from on high shall break upon us,

All        To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, 

             and to guide our feet into the way of peace.                                               Luke 1:68-79                                                         

All        Glory to the Father and to the Son

             and to the Holy Spirit;

             as it was in the beginning is now

             and shall be for ever. Amen.

​

             Rejoice in the Lord, who will have mercy,

             in our God who will richly pardon.

Lord, in your mercy

All         hear our prayer

​

Welcome, O Lord, into the joy and peace of your kingdom

Mercifully grant them a place with the spirits of the just; 

and give them the life that knows not age, 

the reward that passes not away; 

We commend to you the soul of

Take under your loving wing

​

Trusting in the compassion of God,

let us pray with confidence as our Saviour has taught us

All        Our Father, who art in heaven, 

             hallowed be thy name; 

             thy kingdom come; thy will be done; 

             on earth as it is in heaven. 

             Give us this day our daily bread. 

             And forgive us our trespasses, 

             as we forgive those who trespass against us.

             And lead us not into temptation; 

             but deliver us from evil. 

             For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, 

             for ever and ever. Amen.

​

Let us bless the Lord.

All        Thanks be to God.
