A READING FROM PSALM 25 (FIRST READER ONLY)

TO YOU, O LOVE, I LIFT UP MY SOUL; /

O HEART WITHIN MY HEART/

IN YOU I PLACE MY TRUST./

COMPEL ME TO KNOW YOUR WAYS, O LOVE;/

INSTRUCT ME UPON YOUR PATH./

LEAD ME IN YOUR TRUTH AND TEACH ME/

FOR THROUGH YOU WILL I KNOW WHOLENESS./

I SHALL REFLECT YOUR LIGHT/

BOTH DAY AND NIGHT./

WITH YOUR STEADFAST LOVE/

COMPANION ME ALONG THE WAY./

MAY INTEGRITY AND WHOLENESS FILL ME/

AS I DWELL WITH YOU, O LOVING PRESENCE./
