HYMN
O God the lamp of heaven high And source of light: Your shining Hand Unrolls the banner of the sky, Upholding it above the land.
Dawn, casting up a crimson tide, Has veiled the stars that saw its rise; The morning breezes, far and wide, With dewy breath the earth baptize.
The darkness from the sky has gone As nightly shadows pass away; The morning star, sign of the Son, Arising, wakes the sleepy day.
O God, O radiance wonderful, Most glorious day and fairest light: One God, in all things powerful, Three Persons, matchless in one might!
To you, our Savior, brightest, best, On bended knee our prayer we raise; To Father and to Spirit blest, With all our pow'r, we offer praise. Amen.

PSALMODY
Ant. 1 A humble, contrite heart, O God, you will not spurn.
Psalm 51 O God, have mercy on me Your inmost being must be renewed, and you must put on the new man. (Ephesians 4:23-24)
Have mercy on me, God, in your kindness. In your compassion blot out my offense. O wash me more and more from my guilt and cleanse me from my sin.
My offenses truly I know them; my sin is always before me Against you, you alone, have I sinned; what is evil in your sight I have done.
That you may be justified when you give sentence and be without reproach when you judge, O see, in guilt I was born, a sinner was I conceived.
Indeed you love truth in the heart; then in the secret of my heart teach me wisdom. O purify me, then I shall be clean; O wash me, I shall be whiter than snow.
Make me hear rejoicing and gladness, that the bones you have crushed may revive. From my sins turn away your face and blot out all my guilt.
A pure heart create for me, O God, put a steadfast spirit within me. Do not cast me away from your presence, nor deprive me of your holy spirit.
Give me again the joy of your help; with a spirit of fervor sustain me, that I may teach transgressors your ways and sinners may return to you.
O rescue me, God, my helper, and my tongue shall ring out your goodness. O Lord, open my lips and my mouth shall declare your praise.
For in sacrifice you take no delight, burnt offering from me you would refuse, my sacrifice, a contrite spirit, a humbled, contrite heart you will not spurn.
In your goodness, show favor to Zion: rebuild the walls of Jerusalem. Then you will be pleased with lawful sacrifice, holocausts offered on your altar.
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
Father, he who knew no sin was made sin for us, to save us and restore us to your friendship. Look upon our contrite heart and afflicted spirit and heal our troubled conscience, so that in the joy and strength of the Holy Spirit we may proclaim your praise and glory before all the nations.
Ant. A humble, contrite heart, O God, you will not spurn.
Ant.2 Even in your anger, Lord, you will remember compassion.
Canticle – Habakkuk 3:2-4, 13a, 15-19 God comes to judge Lift up your heads, for your redemption is at hand. (Luke 21:28)
O Lord, I have heard your renown, and…
