Morning Prayer for Sunday in Ordinary Time

God, come to my assistance.

— Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.

HYMN Lo, the dim shadows of the night are waning;

Radiantly glowing with the dawn returning;

Fervent in spirit, to the mighty Father

Pray we devoutly.

So shall our Maker, of His great compassion,

Banish all sickness, kindly health bestowing;

And may He grant us, of a Father's goodness,

Mansions in heaven.

This may He grant us, God for ever blessed,

Father eternal, Son, and Holy Spirit,

Whose mighty glory is through all creation

Ever resounding. Amen.

“His love endures for ever.”

The Lord is at my side as my helper:

I shall look down on my foes.

Ant. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord, alleluia.

It is better to take refuge in the Lord

The nations all encompassed me;

in the Lord’s name I crushed them.

and you are my savior.
