2.3 KiB
Morning
The God of all grace.
I will proclaim the name of the LORD before thee; and will be gracious to whom I will be gracious. -- He is gracious unto him, and saith, Deliver him from going down to the pit: I have found a ransom. -- Being justified freely by his grace, through the redemption that is in Christ Jesus: whom God hath set forth to be a propitiation through faith in his blood, to declare his righteousness for the remission of sins that are past, through the forbearance of God. -- Grace and truth came by Jesus Christ.
By grace are ye saved through faith; and that not of yourselves: it is the gift of God. -- Grace, mercy, and peace, from God our Father and Jesus Christ our Lord. -- Unto every one of us is given grace according to the measure of the gift of Christ. -- As every man hath received the gift, even so minister the same one to another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. -- He giveth more grace.
Grow in grace, and in the knowledge of our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. To him be glory both now and for ever.

Evening
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills, from whence cometh my help. My help cometh from the Lord.
As the mountains are round about Jerusalem, so the LORD is round about his people from henceforth even for ever.
Unto thee lift I up mine eyes, O thou that dwellest in the heavens. Behold, as the eyes of servants look unto the hand of their masters, and as the eyes of a maiden unto the hand of her mistress; so our eyes wait upon the LORD our God, until that he have mercy upon us. -- Because thou hast been my help, therefore in the shadow of thy wings will I rejoice.
O our God, wilt thou not judge them? for we have no might against this great company that cometh against us; neither know we what to do: but our eyes are upon thee. -- Mine eyes are ever toward the LORD; for he shall pluck my feet out of the net. -- Our help is in the name of the LORD, who made heaven and earth.
