Midafternoon Prayer for Tuesday in Advent using the Complementary Psalmody

God, come to my assistance.

— Lord, make haste to help me.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:

— as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia.

HYMN

I am bending my knee

In the eye of the Father who made me;

In the eye of the Son who redeemed me;

In the eye of the Spirit who cleansed me;

And I'm asking the Three

That my living shall be

In the likeness of Jesus, my Lord.

Chorus:

In His love towards God, the affection of God

And the smile of God in His face.

In the Wisdom of God and the will of God

To make this earth a holy place.

O Christ be with me in my sleeping

And in my awaking

And Christ be with me in my rising

And may Christ be with me in my going.

And I'm asking the Three

That my living shall be

In the likeness of Jesus, my Lord.

Chorus:

In His love towards God, the affection of God

And the smile of God in His face.

In the Wisdom of God and the will of God

To make this earth a holy place.

And I am bending my knee

In the eye of the Father who made me;

In the eye of the Son who redeemed me;

In the eye of the Spirit who cleansed me;

And I'm asking the Three

That my living shall be

In the likeness of Jesus, my Lord.
