NIGHT PRAYER: Tuesday 10/22

Day is done, Lord...

Autumn's evening chill shivers,
turning leaves and me
to seasons' change and touch...

The shiver shakes awake the fall within
and I seek pardon, Lord,
for any early frost upon my heart...

For this day's noontime warmth,
October hues and simple joys
I give you praise and glory...

 

Through branches growing stark and bare

I thank you for the moonlight

shining down upon my path...

To your holy heart and arms, Lord,
I lift up all those who care for me

and those who lean on me for strength...

Day is done, Lord,

   day is done...

May this night's moon wax full 

and shine with peace
until I wake to greet the dawn...

 

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.

This piano solo with a NASA video of the moonscape

seems just the perfect night prayer music 

for this evening's prayer...
