Friday Evening Prayer

Let my 

prayer 

be set 

forth in 

your 

sight 

as  

incense, 

the 

lifting 

up 

of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Psalm 142:2

Friday

Be
not 

far

away, 

O 

Lord; 

you 

are 

my 

strength;

hasten 

to 

help

me. 

Psalm 22:18

Fountains Abbey, England 

Commemoration of John Keble, English priest, 1866

V. 3&4 of "New ever morning is the love" 

                                                 by John Kelbe  

If on our daily course our mind be set

                              to hallow all we find,   

new treasures still of countless price 

                   God will provide for sacrifice. 

Old friends, old scenes will lovelier be
               as more of heaven in each we see,
 some softening gleam of love and prayer
        shall dawn on every cross and care.
