“Let your face shine….” Psalm 80:1-7 (antiphon: v. 7)
Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
Give ear, O Shepherd of Israel,
you who lead Joseph like a flock.
You who are enthroned upon the cherubim, shine forth.
2
Before Ephraim and Benjamin and Manasseh,
stir up your might
and come to save us!
3
Restore us, O God;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
4
O Lord God of hosts,
how long will you be angry with your people’s prayers?
5
You have fed them with the bread of tears
and given them tears to drink in full measure.
6
You make us an object of contention for our neighbors,
and our enemies laugh among themselves.
7
Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit;
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.
Restore us, O God of hosts;
let your face shine, that we may be saved!
COLLECT OF THE DAY
Stir up Your power, O Lord, and come, that by Your protection we may be rescued from the threatening perils of our sins and saved by Your mighty deliverance; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen
