Noon Devotion

From Psalm 113
Give praise, you servants of the Lord;
    praise the Name of the Lord.
Let the Name of the Lord be blessed,
    from this time forth for evermore.
From the rising of the sun to its going down
    let the Name of the lord be praised.
The Lord is high above all nations,
    and his glory above the heavens.

A Reading
  O God, you will keep in perfect peace
those whose minds are fixed on you;
for in returning and rest we shall be saved;
in quietness and trust shall be our strength.   Isaiah 26:3; 30:15

Prayers may be offered for ourselves and others.

The Lord's Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
    hallowed be thy Name,
    thy kingdom come,
    thy will be done,
    on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
    as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation,
    but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,
    for ever and ever.  Amen

The Collect
 Blessed Savior, at this hour you hung upon the cross,
stretching out your loving arms:  Grant that all the peoples of
the earth may look to you and be saved; for your mercies' sake.  Amen.

or this

Lord Jesus Christ, you said to your apostles, "Peace I give to
you; my own peace I leave with you:"  Regard not our sins,
but the faith of your Church, and give to us the peace and
unity of that heavenly City, where with the Father and the
Holy Spirit you live and reign, now and for ever.  Amen
