Evening Prayer for Thursday in Ordinary Time

God, come to my assistance. — Lord, make haste to help me.

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. Alleluia.

HYMN

O Lord our God who made the day To gladden us with its fair light, We praise your name, imploring aid, For day will soon give place to night.

The evening shadows grow apace, Advancing, they will hide the sun, As darkness creeps upon the earth When daylight hours their course have run.

We beg you, Lord and God Most High, Protect us with your presence blessed, Though weary, keep our souls in peace And not by gloom of night oppressed.

Let not the setting sun go down On hearts distressed with sin, and sore, But sheltered by your gentle grace, May we behold the day once more.

To you, O Christ, most kindly King, And to the Father, glory be, Praise to the Spirit Paraclete, In every age, eternally. Amen.

PSALMODY

Ant. 1 I have made you the light of all nations to carry my salvation to the ends of the earth.

Psalm 72 The Messiah’s royal power Opening their treasures, they offered him gifts: gold, frankincense and myrrh (Matthew 2:11).

I

O God, give your judgment to the king, to a king’s son your justice, that he may judge your people in justice and your poor in right judgment.

May the mountains bring forth peace for the people and the hills, justice. May he defend the poor of the people and save the children of the needy and crush the oppressor.

He shall endure like the sun and the moon from age to age. He shall descend like rain on the meadow, like raindrops on the earth.

In his days justice shall flourish and peace till the moon fails. He shall rule from sea to sea, from the Great River to earth’s bounds.

Before him his enemies shall fall, his foes lick the dust. The kings of Tarshish and the sea coasts shall pay him tribute.

The kings of Sheba and Seba shall bring him gifts. Before him all kings shall fall prostrate, all nations shall serve him.

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.

Ant. I have made you the light of all nations to carry my salvation to the ends of the earth.

Ant. 2 The Lord will save the children of the poor and rescue them from slavery.

II

For he shall save the poor when they cry and the needy who are helpless. He will have pity on the weak and save the lives of the poor.

From oppression he will rescue their lives, to him their blood is dear. Long may he live, may the gold of Sheba be given him. They shall pray for him without ceasing and bless him all the day.

May corn be abundant in the land to the peaks of the mountains. May its fruit rustle like Lebanon; may men flourish in the cities like grass on the earth.

May his name be blessed for ever and endure like the sun. Every tribe shall be blessed in him, all nations bless his name.

Blessed be the Lord, God of Israel, who alone works wonders, ever blessed his glorious name. Let his glory fill the earth.

Amen! Amen!

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

We call upon your name, Father, and pronounce it blessed above the earth. Give your people the fullness of peace and justice in your kingdom.

Ant. The Lord will save the children…
