Almighty God, we bless and praise you that we have wakened to the light of another earthly day; and now we will think of what a day should be.Our days are yours; let them be spent for you. Our days are few, let them be spent with care. We pray you to shine on this day—the day which we may call our own.Lord, we go to our daily work; help us to take pleasure therein. Show us clearly what our duty is; help us to be faithful in doing it. Let all we do be well done, fit for your eye to see. Give us strength to do, patience to bear; let our courage never fail.When we cannot love our work, let us think of it as your task; and by our true love to you, make unlovely things shine in the light of your great love. Amen.

1 It is good to praise the LORD
and make music to your name, O Most High,
2 to proclaim your love in the morning
and your faithfulness at night,
3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre
and the melody of the harp.
4 For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD;
I sing for joy at the works of your hands.
5 How great are your works, O LORD,
how profound your thoughts!
Psalm 92 New International Version
