Celtic Prayers from Northumbria 115
The Evening Office
Preparation
In the name of the Father,
and of the Son,
and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
My soul waits for the Lord
more than those who watch for the morning,
more than those who watch for the morning.
Out of the depths I have cried to you.
Lord, hear my voice.
With my whole heart I want to praise you.
Lord, hear my voice.
If you, Lord, should mark iniquities:
Who could stand? Who could stand?^372The Psalm, or...
I cry out to you LORD, I say,
‘You are my safe place; you are everything I need in this life.’^373The Word of God
I will wait for the Lord.
My soul waits
and in his word I hope.^374
