Lauds – Music by Steve Bell
Lyrics adapted from Venite, A Book of Daily Prayer by Robert Benson
Drive far from us all wrong desires
Incline our hearts to keep your ways
Grant that having cheerfully done your will this day
We may when night comes
Rejoice and give you thanks
Through the one who lives and reigns with you forever
And the spirit of the great unsounded deep
In the tenderest compassion
The morning star has risen
To shine upon the darkness
To light a path to peace
