 At Noon

From Psalm 113

Give praise, you servants of the ; *
 * praise the Name of the.

Let the Name of the be blessed, *
 * from this time forth for evermore.

From the rising of the sun to its going down *
 * let the Name of the be praised.

The is high above all nations, *
 * and his glory above the heavens.

A Reading

O God, you will keep in perfect peace those whose minds are fixed on you; for in returning and rest we shall be saved; in  quietness and trust shall be our strength.

The Lord’s Prayer

The Collect

Blessed Savior, at this hour you hung upon the cross, stretching out your loving arms:  Grant that all the peoples of  the earth may look to you and be saved; for your mercies’  sake. Amen.

Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles, “Peace I give to you; my own peace I leave with you:”  Regard not our sins,  but the faith of your Church, and give to us the peace and  unity of that heavenly City, where with the Father and the  Holy Spirit you live and reign, now and for ever. Amen.
