NIGHT PRAYER: Sunday 8/22

On Sundays, Night Prayer takes its theme from an element of

the day's mass. Tonight we pray with Marty Haugen's setting

of today's responsorial: Psalm 16.

 

How often, how easily I forget, Lord,

that you are my inheritance,

that no greater fortune is mine

than my faith in your mercy and love...

 

How often, how easily I forget, Lord,

all the times, all the ways

you've been faithful to me:

you 're my healing and hope,

my wisdom and safety,

my way, my truth, my life...

Keep me mindful, Lord,

of the gifts I've received

and the treasure you promise,

what's yet to come,

for those who are heirs

to eternal life...

Protect me, Lord, while I'm awake

and watch over me while I sleep

that awake, I might keep watch with you

and asleep, rest in your peace...

Amen.

Psalm 16 by Marty Haugen,

    performed by SaintAnthonyCantors 

 

 

You are my inheritance, O Lord!

 

Faithful God, I look to you,

you alone my life and fortune,

never shall I look to other gods,

you shall be my one hope.

 

From of old you are my heritage,

you my wisdom and my safety,

through the night you speak within my heart,

silently you teach me. 

So my heart shall sing for joy,

in your arms I rest securely,

you will not abandon me to death,

you shall not desert me.
