Psalm 140/141 Be Gracious, O Lord - SCHOLA NOVA - Anne Pell

Evening Prayer for Forgiveness and Protection. Sung by Schola Nova Women's Choir of Bainbridge Island. An Evensong Service led by Anne Pell at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, 1187 Wyatt Way NW, Bainbridge Island, Washington 206/842-5601.

Be gracious, O Lord!
Let my prayer rise like incense
My hands like an evening sacrifice

I call to you, O Lord
Make haste to help me now
Listen to me when I call to you

Lord, I say to you, hear me
Listen to me, Lord
I am invoking you

Be gracious, O Lord
Let my prayer rise like incense
My hands like an evening sacrifice

Place a guard over my mouth, O Lord
Keep my heart from inclining to evil
Save me from all wicked deeds and desires

May the righteous reprove me in kindness
But I will not let the wicked anoint my head
I will always resist their evil deeds

Be gracious, O Lord
Let my prayer rise like incense
My hands like an evening sacrifice

Lord God, my eyes are turned to you
Defend and protect me
In you I take refuge

Glory to the Father
And to the Son
And to the Spirit

As it was in the beginning
Is now
And will be forever.

Be gracious, O Lord
Let my prayer rise like incense
My hands like an evening sacrifice

[Let us pray.

In your mercy
Hear our evening prayer
O God of compassion
That freed from the darkness of sin
We may always walk in your light
Through Jesus Christ our Lord.]

Amen.
