On Sundays, Night Prayer will reflect some element from the day's mass. Today is Trinity Sunday!
I pray to you, O God,
Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
your triune mystery
more than I can fathom...
So many ways to name you,
to seek you and to know you,
to call on you in prayer...
So many holy images
to ponder and reflect on,
to feed my dreams and visions....
Glory and divinity,
touching my humanity,
inviting me to sanctity...
You are God, my Father
triune in your majesty,
your power and your strength...
You are God, Eternal Word,
triune in your mercy,
in your kindness and compassion...
You are God, the Holy Spirit,
triune in your wisdom,
in your blessings and your gifts...
You are one, my Lord and God,
may I be one with you
in your triune, holy peace...
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.
I've posted the prayer above and the first song below several times (a simple mantra-like song by Sandra McCracken). Tonight I'm adding two more musical options: a powerful choral piece from the master composer Tchaikovsky and a reflective, contemporary song from by Jason Upton. So, yes: a trinity of songs for Trinity Sunday!

Cherubic Hymn
by Pyotr IlyichTchaikovsky,

Let us represent the cherubim
in mystic harmony,
praise the Father, Son and Spirit,
raise our three-fold song,
praise the Trinity,
raise our three-fold song to the Trinity,
Let us now cast aside,
let us cast aside all this earthly life,
cast aside, cast aside, cast aside,
all this earthly life.
Amen.
Izhe kheruvimy tayno obrazuyushche,
I zhivotvoryashchey Troytsye,
trisvyatuyu pyesn’, pripyevashche,
trisvyatuyu pyesn’ pripyevashche.
Vsyakoye nynye, nynye zhityeskoye
otlozhim
popyecheniye, otlozhim,
popyecheniye.
Amin’.
Father, Son, Spirit by Jason Upton
