Lord God, the light of the minds
that know you, the life of the souls that love you, and the strength of the
hearts that serve you: Help us, following the example of your servant Augustine
of Hippo, so to know you that we may truly love you, and so to love you that we
may fully serve you, whom to serve is perfect freedom; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen
1 On the holy mount stands the
city he founded;
2 the Lord loves the gates of
Zion
more than all the dwelling places of Jacob.
3 Glorious things of you are
spoken,
O city of God. Selah
4 Among those who know me I
mention Rahab and Babylon;
behold, Philistia and Tyre, with Cush—
“This one was born there,” they say.
5 And of Zion it shall be said,
“This one and that one were born in her”;
for the Most High himself will establish
her.
6 The Lord records as he registers
the peoples,
“This one was born there.” Selah
7 Singers and dancers alike say,
“All my springs are in you.”
