Hymn

Ant.My soul thirsts for you my God,the living

God.

Psalm 42
Longing for God's Presence in the Temple

As the deer longs 

for streams of water, 
so my soul longs 
for you,O God. 

My being thirsts for God,

the living God.
When can I go and see
the face of God?

My tears have been my food

day and night,
as they ask daily,
“Where is your God?”
Those times I recall 
as I pour out my soul, 
When I went in procession 
with the crowd, 

I went with them to the house of God, 

Amid loud cries of thanksgiving, 
with the multitude keeping festival.
 
Why are you downcast, my soul;
why do you groan within me?
Wait for God,
whom I shall praise again,
my savior and my God.

My soul is downcast within me;

therefore I will remember you
From the land of the Jordan and Hermon,
from the land of Mount Mizar.

Here deep calls to deep

in the roar of your torrents.
All your waves and breakers sweep over me.

At dawn may the LORD

bestow faithful love
that I may sing praise through the night,
praise to the God of my life.

I say to God,“My rock,

why do you forget me?
Why must I go about mourning
with the enemy oppressing me?”

It shatters my bones,
when my adversaries reproach me.
They say to me daily:“Where is your God?”

Why are you downcast, my soul,

why do you groan within me?
Wait for God, whom I shall praise again,
my savior.and my God.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy
Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now and will be
forever.Amen.

Ant. My soul thirsts for you my God, the living

God.

Hymn

Ant. To you, O God, we owe our hymns of praise.

Psalm 65
Thanksgiving for God's Blessings

To you we owe our hymn of praise,

O God on Zion;
To you our vows must be fulfilled,
you who hear our prayers.

To you all flesh must come 

with its burden of wicked deeds. 
We are overcome by our sins; 
only you can pardon them. 

Happy the chosen ones 

you bring to dwell in your courts. 

May we be filled
with the good things of your house,
the blessings of your holy temple!
You answer us with awesome deeds of justice,

O God our savior,

The hope of all the ends of the earth
and of far distant islands.

You are robed in power,

you set up the mountains by your might.
You still the roaring of the seas,
the roaring of their waves, the tumult of the peoples.

Distant peoples stand

in awe of your marvels;
east and west you make resound with joy.

You visit the earth and water it,

make it abundantly fertile.
God's stream is filled with water;
with it you supply the world with grain.

Thus do you prepare the earth: 

you drench plowed furrows, 
and level their ridges. 

With showers you keep the ground soft, 

blessing its young sprouts. 

You adorn the year with your bounty; 

your paths drip with fruitful rain. 
The untilled meadows also drip; 
the hills are robed with joy. 

The pastures are clothed with flocks, 

the valleys blanketed with grain; 
they cheer and sing for joy. 

Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy

Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now and will be forever.
Amen.

Ant. To you, O God, we owe our hymns of praise.
