May 16, 2020 - MAY WE THY PRECEPTS, LORD, FULFILL

Day 137 - (Today’s Bible readings: Zephaniah 3:9-13; Psalm 119:57-64; Luke 22:66-23:16)

MAY WE THY PRECEPTS, LORD, FULFILL

57 The Lord is my portion;
    I promise to keep your words.
58 I entreat your favor with all my heart;
    be gracious to me according to your promise.
59 When I think on my ways,
    I turn my feet to your testimonies;
60 I hasten and do not delay
    to keep your commandments.
61 Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me,
    I do not forget your law.
62 At midnight I rise to praise you,
    because of your righteous rules.
63 I am a companion of all who fear you,
    of those who keep your precepts.
64 The earth, O Lord, is full of your steadfast love;
    teach me your statutes! (Psalm 119:57-64)

May we Thy precepts, Lord, fulfill
And do on earth our Father's will
As angels do above;
Still walk in Christ, the living way,
With all Thy children and obey
The law of Christian love.
(“May We Thy Precepts, Lord, Fulfill,” LSB 698)

Grant this, dear God, for Jesus’ sake. Amen.
