O Lord, as year by year we recall the mysteries by which humanity was restored to its original dignity and granted the hope of resurrection, we humbly entreat your mercy that what we call to mind in faith we may take to heart in abiding love; through Jesus Christ our Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
(From the Gelasian Sacramentary)

7 Sing to the LORD with grateful praise;
   make music to our God on the harp.
8 He covers the sky with clouds;
   he supplies the earth with rain
   and makes grass grow on the hills.
9 He provides food for the cattle
   and for the young ravens when they call.
10 His pleasure is not in the strength of the horse,
   nor his delight in the legs of the warrior;
11 the LORD delights in those who fear him,
   who put their hope in his unfailing love.
12 Extol the LORD, Jerusalem;
   praise your God, Zion.
Psalm 147 – English Standard Version
