A Lord’s Day prayer

Comments Off on A Lord’s Day prayer

prayerHow lovely is your tabernacle, O LORD of host.

Our souls long for your courts, and our hearts cry out for you, O living God. You are our King and our God.

How blessed are those who dwell in your house.

How blessed are those whose strength is in you, whose heart is set on pilgrimage.

They pass through the dessert and make it flow with springs of water.

They go from strength to strength, and each one appears before you in Zion.

Behold our shields, O God, and look upon the faces of your anointed ones.

For a day in your courts is better than a thousand.

We would rather be doorkeepers in your house than dwell in the tents of wickedness.

For you are our sun and our shield. You give us grace and glory.

No good thing do you withhold from those who walk before you uprightly.

How blessed are all those who trust in you.

Receive our worship, God and Father,

for we worship you in the name of the Lord Jesus Christ and by the Holy Spirit,

who live and reign with you above, world without end.  Amen.

–Based on Psalm 84 as fulfilled in Christ.
