Evening prayer

 

Psalms 130:5-7

I wait for the LORD, my soul waits,

and in his word I hope;

my soul waits for the Lord

more than those who watch for the morning,

more than those who watch for the morning.

O Israel, hope in the LORD!

For with the LORD there is steadfast love,

and with him is great power to redeem.

The words of evening prayer

whispered in the dark of night

look hopefully to the dawn

and the promise of a lightening sky

that blossoms

dispelling darkness

carrying hope

summoning love

for those who wait on the Lord
