HYMN
Blest are the moments, doubly blest, that, drawn from this one hour of rest, are with a ready heart bestowed upon the service of our God!
Each field is then a hallowed spot, an altar in each man's cot, a church in every grove that spreads its living roof above our heads.
Look up to heaven! the industrious sun already half his race hath run; he cannot halt or go astray, but our immortal spirits may.
Lord, since his rising in the east, if we have faltered or transgressed, guide, from thy love's abundant source, what yet remains of this day's course;
help with thy grace, through life's short day, our upward and our downward way; and glorify for us the west, when we shall sink to final rest. Amen.

Ant. 1 Whoever follows me does not walk in the dark; he will have the light of life.
Psalm 119 XIV (Nun) A meditation on God’s law This is my commandment: that you should love one another (John 15:12).
Your word is a lamp for my steps and a light for my path. I have sworn and have made up my mind to obey your decrees.
Lord, I am deeply afflicted: by your word give me life. Accept, Lord, the homage of my lips and teach me your decrees.
Though I carry my life in my hands, I remember your law. Though the wicked try to ensnare me I do not stray from your precepts.
Your will is my heritage for ever, the joy of my heart. I set myself to carry out your will in fullness, for ever.
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.
Psalm-prayer
Let your Word, Father, be a lamp for our feet and a light to our path, so that we may understand what you wish to teach us and follow the path your light marks out for us.
Ant. Whoever follows me does not walk in the dark; he will have the light of life.
Ant. 2 Help me, O God, for I am poor and needy.
Psalm 70 O God, come to my aid Lord, save us, we are lost (Matthew 8:25).
O God, make haste to my rescue, Lord, come to my aid! Let there be shame and confusion on those who seek my life.
O let them turn back in confusion, who delight in my harm, let them retreat, covered with shame, who jeer at my lot.
Let there be rejoicing and gladness for all who seek you. Let them say for ever: “God is great,” who love your saving help.
As for me, wretched and poor, come to me, O God. You are my rescuer, my help, O Lord, do not delay.
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.
Psalm-prayer
God, our help and deliverer, do not abandon us among the many temptations of life but deliver us from evil and turn our tears and struggles into joy.

We give thanks to you, O God, we give thanks and call upon your name. We recount your wonderful deeds.
“When I reach the appointed time, then I will judge with justice. Though the earth and all who dwell in it may rock, it is I who uphold its pillars.
