Lord of all being, throned afar,
thy glory flames from sun and star;
centre and soul of every sphere,
yet to each loving heart how near!
Lord of all life, below, above,
whose light is truth, whose warmth is love,
before thy ever blazing throne
we ask no lustre of our own.
Grant us thy truth to make us free,
and kindling hearts that burn for thee,
till all thy living altars claim
one holy light, one heavenly flame.
– Oliver Wendell Holmes
THE LORD GOD WILL GIVE HIM THE THRONE OF HIS ANCESTOR DAVID.
The word of the Lord came to Nathan: “Go and tell my servant David, ‘Thus the Lord speaks: When your days are ended and you are laid to rest with your ancestors, I will preserve the offspring of your body after you and make his sovereignty secure. (It is he who shall build a house for my name, and I will make his royal throne secure for ever.)
I will be a father to him and he a son to me. Your House and your sovereignty will always stand secure before me and your throne be established for ever.'”
V. The word of the Lord.
R. Thanks be to God.
