Generous God, whose Son Jesus
Christ enjoyed the friendship and hospitality of Mary, Martha and Lazarus of
Bethany: Open our hearts to love you, our ears to hear you, and our hands to
welcome and serve you in others, through Jesus Christ our risen Lord; who with
you and the Holy Spirit lives and reigns, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
5 Your steadfast
love, O Lord, extends to the heavens,
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Lord.
your faithfulness to the clouds.
6 Your righteousness is like the mountains of God;
your judgments are like the great deep;
man and beast you save, O Lord.
7 How precious is
your steadfast love, O God!
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.
The children of mankind take refuge in the shadow of your wings.
8 They feast on the abundance of your house,
and you give them drink from the river of your delights.
9 For with you is the fountain of life;
in your light do we see light.
10 Oh, continue
your steadfast love to those who know you,
and your righteousness to the upright of heart!
and your righteousness to the upright of heart!
