My Faith Looks Up to Thee
Arr. H. Hopson
Collect of the Day
Almighty God, whom truly to know is everlasting life:
Grant us so perfectly to know your Son Jesus Christ to
be the way, the truth, and the life, that we may steadfastly
follow his steps in the way that leads to eternal life;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and
reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever. Amen..

Psalm 22: 24-30
24 My
praise is of him in the great assembly; *
I will perform my vows in the presence of those
who worship him.
25 The poor shall eat and be satisfied,
and those who seek the LORD shall praise him: *
“May your heart live for ever!”
[ANT.]
All the ends of the earth shall remember and turn to
the LORD, *
and all the families of the nations shall bow
before him.
27 For kingship belongs to the LORD: *
he rules over the nations.
28
To him alone all who sleep in the earth bow down
in worship; *
All who go down to the dust fall before him. [ANT.]
29
My soul shall live for him:
my descendants shall serve him; *
they shall be known as the LORD’S for ever.
26
30 They
shall come and make known to a people yet unborn *
the saving deeds that he has done.
[ANT.]

Gracious God, watch over these your children. Send your healing power upon those who are sick, protect
