May all of our thoughts, words, and actions form us and all we meet more fully to the image of Jesus Christ to Whom be the glory with You and the Holy Spirit, now and always and forever and ever.

At dawn we blossom and sprout; At evening we dry up and wither away. 4 Intercessions -70vvvvvvvvvvrvvvvvvvdvvvvvsvvv]vvvtvvvvvvfvvvvdvv]vvvvRvvvvvvvvvv} Hear us and help us, O Lord 9

You bring out our sins where you can see them; Your presence lights up our shameful secrets. Every day we feel your wrath; We finish our years with sighing. Our lives may go on for seventy years, Or even for eighty, if we are strong; But those years are nothing but work and pain. Who understands your mighty anger, The rage that makes us afraid of you? Teach us how to plan our days, And let our conduct be wise. Repent, O Lord! How long will this last? Be gracious to us, your servants. Kindly care for us each morning; All our lives let us sing for joy. Delight us as long as you have oppressed us, As many years as we have seen trouble. Let your work be plain to your servants, And show our children your splendor. Let our God s kindness rest upon us, And let the work we have done endure. What our hands have done let it endure! 8 5
