Mighty God, you gave your servant Eivind Berggrav, together
with the bishops and faithful priests of Norway, strength and courage to resist tyranny, to defend your
ancient people, the Jews, and to uphold the rights of your church: So
strengthen our faith by their witness, we pray, that we in our generation may
serve you faithfully and confess your Name before the world; through your Son
Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one
God, now and forever. Amen
Philip
H. Pfatteicher
1 How lovely is your dwelling place,
O Lord of hosts!
2 My soul longs, yes, faints
for the courts of the Lord;
my heart and flesh
sing for joy to the living God.
3 Even the sparrow finds a home, and the swallow a nest for
herself,
where she may lay
her young,
at your altars, O
Lord of hosts, my King and my God.
4 Blessed are those who dwell in your house,
ever singing your
praise! Selah
5 Blessed are those whose strength is in you,
in whose heart are
the highways to Zion.
6 As they go through the Valley of Baca
they make it a
place of springs;
the early rain
also covers it with pools.
7 They go from strength to strength;
each one appears
before God in Zion.
