Morning Prayer
Hear my words, O Lord. Understand my
cry. Hearken to the voice of my
prayer, O my King and my God. For
to Thee will I pray: O Lord, in the
morning Thou shalt hear my voice.
In the morning I will stand before
Thee, and will see Thee because
Thou art not a God Who desires
iniquity.
Neither shall the wicked be near Thee
nor shall the unjust abide before
Thine Sight. Thou despise all
workers of iniquity; Thou will
destroy all who speak lies. The
bloody and deceitful man the Lord
abhors.
As for me: in the multitude of Thy
Mercy, I will enter Thy House; I will
worship towards Thy Holy Temple in
fear of Thee. O Lord, guide me, in
Thy Righteousness because of my
enemies; direct my way in Thy Sight.
For there is no Truth in their mouths
and their hearts are vain. Their
throats are like open sepulchres.
They deal deceitfully with their
tongues. Judge them, O God. Let
them fall from their devices;

will seek."
Do not hide Thy Face from me; do not
turn Thy servant away in anger; Thou
hast been my help; do not leave me
nor forsake me, O God of my
Salvation.

forsake me, then the Lord will take

our Salvation to be Incarnate

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs
is the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they
shall be comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall
inherit the Earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst
for Righteousness, for they shall be
satisfied.
Blessed are the Merciful, for they shall
obtain Mercy.
Blessed are the Pure in heart, for they
shall see God.
Blessed are the Peacemakers, for they
shall be called ‘sons of God.’
are those who are persecuted
for Righteousness sake, for theirs is
the Kingdom of Heaven.
Blessed are you when men revile you
and persecute you and utter all
kinds of evil against you falsely for
My sake.
Rejoice and be glad, for your Reward is
great in Heaven.

our transgressions from us!

Compassion on those who Fear Him,

He remembers that we are clay.

Kingdom of Heaven is at hand! For
this was him of whom was spoken
of by Isaiah the Prophet, saying, A
voice of one crying in the desert,
Prepare ye the way of the Lord,
make straight His paths.
The same John wore a garment of
camel’s hair, and a leather belt about
his waist: and he ate locusts2 and
wild honey.
Then the people of Jerusalem and all
Judaea, and all the country about
Jordan went out to him: And were
Baptised by him in the Jordan,
confessing their sins.

And the people asked him, saying:
What then shall we do? And he
answering, said to them: He who has
two coats, let him give to him who has
none; and he who has meat, let him
do in like manner.
The Publicans also came to be Baptised,
and said to him: “Teacher, what shall

He said to them: “Do nothing more
than that which is appointed you.”
The soldiers also asked him, saying:
“And what shall we do?”
And he said to them: “Do no violence -

As the people were in expectation,, and
all pondered in their heart

THEOPHANY – ROYAL HOURS – 5 JANUARY
The Voice of the Lord shakes the
wilderness; the Lord shakes the
wilderness of Kadesh.
The Voice of the Lord causes the hinds
to calve, and uncovers the forests:
and in His Temple every one speaks of
His Glory.
The Lord sits upon the flood; yea, the
Lord is King forever.
The Lord will grant Strength to His
people; the Lord will Bless His
people with Peace.
As the hart pants after the fountain of
waters; so my soul pants after Thee,
O God.
My soul has thirsted after the strong
Living God; when shall I appear
before the Face of God?
My tears have been my bread day and
night, whilst it is said to me daily:
Where is my God?
These things I remembered, and poured
out my soul in me.
For I shall go over into the place of the
wonderful Tabernacle, even to the
House of the God: With the voice
of joy and praise; the noise of one
feasting.
Why art thou sad, O my soul? And why
do you trouble me? Hope in God,
for I will still give praise to Him: the
Salvation of my countenance, and my
God.
My soul is troubled within myself:
therefore will I remember Thee from
the land of Jordan and Hermoniim,
from the little hill.
Deep calls on deep, at the noise of Thy
flood gates. All Thy heights and Thy
billows have passed over me.
In the daytime the Lord has commanded
His Mercy; and an Ode to Him in the
night.
With me is Prayer to the God of my
Life. I will say to God: Thou art my

Support. Why hast Thou forgotten
me?
And why do I go mourning, whilst my
enemy afflicts me?
Whilst my bones are broken, my
enemies who trouble me have
reproached me.
Whilst they say to me day by day:
Where is thy God?
Why are you cast down, O my soul?
And why do you trouble me?
Hope in God, for I will still give praise
to Him: the Salvation of my
countenance, and my God.
Thy Great Mercy, and according to
the multitude of Thy Tender Mercies
blot out my iniquity.
Wash me yet more from my iniquity,
and from my sin Cleanse me. For I
know my iniquity, and my sin is
always before me.
Thee only have I sinned, and have
done evil before Thee: that Thou
may be Justified in Thy Words, and
Victorious when Thou art judged.
Behold! For I was conceived in
iniquities; and in sins did my mother
conceive me.
Behold! For Thou has Loved Truth - the
uncertain and hidden things of Thy
Wisdom Thou has revealed to me.
Sprinkle me with hyssop, and I shall be
Cleansed. Wash me, and I shall be
made whiter than snow.
To my hearing Thou shalt give Joy and
Gladness: and the bones that have
been humbled shall rejoice.
Turn away Thy Sight from my sins, and
blot out all my iniquities.
Create a clean heart in me, O God:
and
Renew a right spirit within my
bowels.

The voice of one crying in the
wilderness, Prepare ye the Way of the
Lord, make His Paths straight.
John Baptised in the wilderness, and
preached the Baptism of Repentance
for the remission of sins.
And there went out to him all the land
of Judaea, and they of Jerusalem,
and were all Baptised by him in the
River Jordan, confessing their sins.
John was clothed with camel’s hair, and
with a belt of skin about his loins;
and he ate locusts and wild honey.
And he preached, saying, “There comes
One Mightier than I after me, the
latchet of Whose sandals I am not
worthy to stoop down and unloosen.
I indeed have Baptised you with water;
but He shall Baptise you with the
Holy Spirit.”

Knowing this, that our Old Man is
crucified with Him, that the body of
sin may be destroyed, to the end
that we may serve sin no longer.
For he who is dead is Justified from sin.
If we are dead with Christ, we believe
that we shall Live also together with
Christ: Knowing that Christ - rising
again from the dead - dies no more -
Death having no more dominion

VERSETherefore will I remember Thee
from the land of the Jordan and
Hermon, from the Small Mountain.
Today it is time for the Prophecy of
the Psalms to take effect; for it said
that the sea beheld and ran away;
and Jordan turned back from the
Face of the Lord, from the Face of
the God of Jacob, Who came to
29.
