Morning has broken,

Blackbird has spoken,

Praise for the singing!
praise for the morning!
Praise for them springing
fresh from the Word!

Sweet the rains new fall, 
sunlit from heaven
Like the first dewfall, 
on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness 
of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness 
where his feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight, mine is the morningBorn of the one light, Eden saw play!Praise with elation, praise every morningGods recreation of the new day!

PSALMODY
Antiphon 1: O Lord, in your light we see light itself.

Sin speaks to the sinner
in the depths of his heart.
There is no fear of God
before his eyes.

He so flatters himself in his mind
that he knows not his guilt.
In his mouth are mischief and deceit.
All wisdom is gone.

He plots the defeat of goodness
as he lies on his bed.
He has set his foot on evil ways,
he clings to what is evil.

Your love, Lord, reaches to heaven;
your truth to the skies.
Your justice is like God’s mountain,
your judgments like the deep.

To both man and beast you give protection.
O Lord, how precious is your love.
My God, the sons of men
find refuge in the shelter of your wings.

They feast on the riches of your house;
they drink from the stream of your delight.
In you is the source of life
and in your light we see light.

Keep on loving those who know you,
doing justice for upright hearts.
Let the foot of the proud not crush me
nor the hand of the wicked cast me out.

See how the evildoers fall!
Flung down, they shall never arise. Glory…

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: Lord, you are the source of unfailing light. Give us true knowledge of your mercy so that we may renounce our pride and be filled with the riches of your house.
Antiphon 1: O Lord, in your light we see light itself.

Antiphon 2 O God, you are great and glorious; we marvel at your power.

Strike up the instruments,
a song to my God with timbrels,
chant to the Lord with cymbals;
Sing to him a new song,
exalt and acclaim his name.

A new hymn I will sing to my God.
O Lord, great are you and glorious,
wonderful in power and unsurpassable.

Let your every creature serve you;
for you spoke, and they were made,
You sent forth your spirit, and they were created;
no one can resist your word.

The mountains to their bases, and the seas, are shaken;
the rocks, like wax, melt before your glance.
But to those who fear you,
you are very merciful.

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.

Antiphon 2 O God, you are great and glorious; we marvel at your power.

Antiphon 3 Exult in God’s presence with hymns of praise.

All peoples, clap your hands,
cry to God with shouts of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High,
we must fear,
great king over all the earth.

He subdues peoples under us
and nations under our feet.
Our inheritance, our glory, is from him,
given to Jacob out of love.

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
Sing praise for God, sing praise,
sing praise to our king, sing praise.

God is king of all the earth,
sing praise with all your skill.
God is king over the nations;
God reigns on his holy throne.

The princes of the people are assembled
with the people of Abraham’s God.
The rulers of the earth belong to God,
to God who reigns over all.

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.

Antiphon 3 Exult in God’s presence with hymns of praise.

All sit for the Liturgy of the Word.

After the Homily:

INTERCESSIONS (Universal Prayer)
The Word of God humbled himself to dwell with us so that we might see his glory.

Rejoicing in hope, let us call upon him:
                  Emmanuel, be with us.

Ruler, just and righteous, 
– Bring justice to the poor and the oppressed.

King of peace, you beat swords into plowshares and spears into pruning hooks, 
– Turn hatred into love and our grievances into forgiveness.

You do not judge by appearances, 
– Recognize those who are your own.

When you come with power and might upon the clouds, 
-Grant that we may come before you without shame.

Presider: Prepare our hearts, we pray, O Lord our God,
by your divine power,
so that at the coming of Christ your Son
we may be found worthy of the banquet of eternal life
and merit to receive heavenly nourishment from his hands.
Who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, for ever and ever.

After Holy Communion, all stand for the Benedictus.

BENEDICTUS/Canticle of Zachariah
Benedictus – Luke 1: 68-79

Antiphon: The One who is coming after me
is greater than I; I am not worthy to untie the straps of his sandals. 

(While making the Sign of the Cross, we pray the following)

Blessed be the Lord, the God of Israel; *
he has come to his people and set them free.

He has raised up for us a mighty savior, *
born of the house of his servant David.

Through his holy prophets he promised of old,
that he would save us from our enemies, *
 from the hands of all who hate us.

He promised to show mercy to our fathers *
 and to remember his holy covenant.

This was the oath he swore to our father Abraham, *
 to set us free from the hands of our enemies,

Free to worship him without fear, *
 holy and righteous in his sight
 all the days of our life.

You, my child, shall be called the prophet of the Most High, *
 for you will go before the Lord to prepare his way,

To give his people knowledge of salvation *
 by the forgiveness of their sins.

In the tender compassion of our God *
 the dawn from on high shall break upon us,

To shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death, *
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.

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.

Antiphon: The One who is coming after me is greater than I; I am not worthy to untie the straps of his sandals.
