So That a People Yet Unborn May Praise the LORD |
| Let this be written for a future generation,* so that a people yet unborn may praise the LORD. For the LORD looked down from his holy place on high;* from the heavens he beheld the earth; That he might hear the groan of the captive* and set free those condemned to die; That they may declare in Zion the Name of the LORD,* and his praise in Jerusalem; When the peoples are gathered together,* and the kingdoms also, to serve the LORD. |

|
The Prayer Appointed for the Week |
|
|
| Most loving Father, whose will it is for us to give thanks for all things, to fear nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on you who cares for us: Preserve me from faithless fears and worldly anxieties, that no clouds of this mortal life may hide from me the light of that love which is immortal, and which you have manifested to us in your Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. |

The Concluding Prayer of the Church |

|
| Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought me in safety to this new day: Preserve me with your mighty power, that I may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all I do direct me to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ my Lord. Amen. |
