01:33Alleluia
01:40Psalm 104
01:46Praise the Lord O my soul O Lord my God you are magnificent you are robed in splendour and majesty
01:54he covers himself with light as if it were a garment he stretches out the skies like a tent curtain
02:03and lays the bees on the�ac
02:08He makes the clouds his chariot and travels along on the wings of the wind. He makes the winds his
02:16messengers and the flaming fire his attendant. He established the earth on its foundations. It will never be moved.
02:26The watery deep covered it like a garment. The waters reached above the mountains. Your shout made the waters retreat.
02:38At the sound of your thunderous voice, they hurried off as the mountains rose up and the valleys went down
02:44to the place you appointed for them.
02:48You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the earth
02:54again.
02:56He turns springs into streams. They flow between the mountains. They provide water for all the animals in the field.
03:04The wild donkeys quench their thirst.
03:07The birds of the sky live beside them. They chirp among the bushes. He waters the mountains from the upper
03:16rooms of his palace. The earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow.
03:24He provides grass for the cattle and crops for the people to cultivate, so that they can produce food from
03:30the ground, as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they can have oil to make
03:37their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people's lives.
03:44The trees of the trees of the trees receive all the rain they need. The cedars of Lebanon, which he
03:49planted, where the birds make their nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live.
03:56The wild goats live in the high mountains. The rock badgers find safety in the cliffs.
04:04He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule.
04:10You make it dark, and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around.
04:17The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God.
04:23When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep in their dens.
04:27Men then go out to do their work, and labour away until evening.
04:34How many living things have you made, O Lord?
04:37You have exhibited great skill in making all of them.
04:41The earth is full of living things you have made.
04:46Over here is the deep, wide sea, which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large.
04:55The ships travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it.
05:03All of your creatures wait for you to provide them with food on a regular basis.
05:08You give food to them, and they receive it.
05:11You open your hand, and they are filled with food.
05:14When you ignore them, they panic.
05:17When you take away their life's breath, they die and return to dust.
05:22When you send your life-giving breath, they are created, and you replenish the surface of the ground.
05:30May the splendour of the Lord endure.
05:33May the Lord find pleasure in the living things he has made.
05:37He looks down on the earth, and it shakes.
05:41He touches the mountains, and they start to smouldering.
05:45I will sing to the Lord as long as I live.
05:48I will sing praise to my God as long as I exist.
05:53May my thoughts be pleasing to him.
05:55I will rejoice in the Lord.
05:58May sinners disappear from the earth and the wicked vanish.
06:03Praise the Lord, O my soul.
06:05Praise the Lord.
06:07Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
06:12as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
06:16world without end.
06:18Amen.
06:28A Sabbath rest still remains for the people of God.
06:31For those who enter God's rest also cease from their labours, as God did from his.
06:39Let us, therefore, make every effort to enter that rest.
06:48Stay with us, O God, this night,
06:50so that by your strength we may rise with the new day,
06:56rejoicing in the resurrection of your Son,
06:59Jesus Christ, our Saviour.
07:10Now, according to your word, Sovereign Lord,
07:13permit your servant to depart in peace.
07:17For my eyes have seen your salvation,
07:20that you have prepared in the presence of all peoples.
07:24A light for the revelation to the Gentiles,
07:28and for glory to your people Israel.
07:33Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
07:37as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
07:41world without end.
07:43Amen.
07:48Lighten our darkness, Lord, we pray,
07:51and in your great mercy,
07:53defend us from all perils and dangers of this night.
07:58For the love of your only Son, our Saviour,
08:01Jesus Christ.
08:03Amen.
08:07Our Father, who art in heaven,
08:10hallowed be thy name,
08:12thy kingdom come,
08:14thy will be done,
08:16on earth as it is in heaven.
08:19Give us this day
08:20our daily bread,
08:22and forgive us our trespasses,
08:25as we forgive those who trespass against us.
08:30lead us not into temptation,
08:33but deliver us from evil.
08:36For thine is the kingdom,
08:38the power,
08:39and the glory,
08:40forever and ever.
08:43Amen.
08:46In peace will we lie down and sleep,
08:51for you alone, Lord,
08:53make us dwell in safety.
08:57Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
09:00for the night is at hand,
09:02and the day is now past.
09:07As the night watch looks for the morning,
09:10so do we look for you,
09:13O Christ.
09:17Come with the dawning of the day,
09:19and make yourself known
09:21in the breaking of the bread.
09:26May the Lord bless us and watch over us.
09:29The Lord make his face shine upon us,
09:33and be gracious to us.
09:37The Lord look kindly on us,
09:39and give us peace.
09:42Amen.
