Morning prayer · 7 July
Every breath sings

God, our God, every creature that can speak and think is under your rule. We humbly ask you: accept our praise, which we offer as well as we can, together with everything you’ve made. And reward us with the rich gifts of your goodness. Every knee bows to you, in heaven, on earth and under the earth, and every breathing thing sings of your glory, which is too great for words. You alone are the true God, full of mercy. All the powers of heaven praise you, and we give glory to you, Father, Son and Holy Spirit, now and forever. Amen.
Let everything that has breath praise the LORD! Hallelujah!
