Morning Prayer

orchidee



Tune: Binchester

('Happy are they, they that love God')

Psalm 5 v.1-4

*******

Give ear, O Lord, unto my word[s]

I trust you have them heard

Consider my meditation

O Lord of each nation

 

Hearken unto voice of my prayer

My King, my God, I share

My petitions with you, and pray

Whether it night or day

 

My voice you shall hear in morning

To you my prayer I bring

Will direct it to you, my eyes

Raise to you, and you praise

 

For you are not a God that be

Pleased with wickedness, we

Know, nor shall evil dwell with you

Lord, you holy and true

        We tend to pray most when we need something. Why is it that kids only call when they need something? Another good hymn Orchi
