Saturday Morning Meditation
God has shone in our hearts,
to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ.
— 2 Corinthians 4:6
Psalm 150
Praise the Lord! O praise God in his sanctuary;
Praise him in the firmament of his power.Praise him for his mighty acts;
Praise him according to his abundant goodness.Praise him in the blast of the ram’s horn;
Praise him upon the lute and harp.Praise him with the timbrel and dances;
Praise him upon the strings and pipe.Praise him on the high-sounding cymbals;
Praise him upon the loud cymbals.Let everything that has breath praise the Lord:
O praise the Lord!
Glory to God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit;
As in the beginning, so now, and forever. Amen.
Creator God, whose praise and power are proclaimed by the whole creation:
Receive our morning prayers and renew us in your service;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Your Daily Bible reading(s)
Poem: Great and Wonderful (Revelation 15:3–4)
Great and wonderful are your deeds, Lord God the Almighty;
Just and true are your ways, O King of the nations.
Who shall not revere and praise your name, O Lord?
For you alone are holy.
All nations shall come and worship in your presence,
For your just dealings have been revealed.
To him who sits on the throne and to the Lamb:
Be praise and honour, glory and might,
Forever and ever. Amen.
The Prayers
Eternal God and Father, by whose power we are created
And by whose love we are redeemed:
Guide and strengthen us by your Spirit,
That we may give ourselves to your service,
And live this day in love to one another and to you;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Pray for those known to you who are in need.
Benediction
May the peace of God which passes all understanding keep our hearts and minds in Christ Jesus. Amen.
