M INISTER: And are acquainted with all my ways

P EOPLE : For there is not a word on my tongue, but behold, O

Lord, You know it altogether Psalm 139:1-4

A LL: Where can I go from Your Spirit? Or where can I flee

from Your presence? If I ascend into heaven, You are there. If I make

my bed in hell, behold You are there. If I take the wings of the morning,and dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, even there Your hand shall lead

me, and Your right hand shall hold me. If I say, “Surely the darkness shall

fall on me,” even the night shall be light about me. Psalm 139:7-11

M INISTER: Search me, O God, and know my heart

P EOPLE : Try me, and know my thoughts

A LL: Our Father, who art in the heavens, hallowed be Thy name.

Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done, as in heaven so upon the earth. Give

us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our debts as we also forgive our

debtors. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For Thine

is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever. Amen. Matthew 6: 9 – 13

For Zion 's sake I wil l not hold My peace,

And for Jerusalem 's sake I wil l not res t,

Un til her r ighteousness goes for th

as b r ightness,

And her salvat ion as a lam p that burns .

The nat ions shal l see your r ighteousness ,

And al l k ings your glory.

You shal l be cal led by a new nam e,

W hich the mouth o f the LORD wi l l

n a m e .

Yo u shal l a lso be a crown o f glory

In the hand o f the LO RD ,

An d a royal diadem

In the hand of your God.

Yo u shal l no longer be termed Fo rsaken,

Nor shal l your land any m ore

be termed Desolate ;

But you shal l be cal led Hephzibah ,

and your land Beulah ;

For the LOR D delights in you,

An d your land shal l be married .

For as a young m an m arr ies a virgin ,

So shal l your sons marry you;

An d as the br idegroom rejoices over the

br ide, So shal l your G od rejoice over

you .

(Isaiah 62:1-5)



Evil acts which come from one part of

the mind and not at the same time from

the other, such as those which come

from the understanding-part, and not at

the same time from the will-part, arenot rooted in and appropriated to a per-

son. That alone is rooted in and appro-

priated to him which passes from the

understanding-part into the will-part; or

what is the same, which passes from

the thought which is a matter of the un-derstanding into the affection which

is a matter of the will, and from that

into act. Those things which enter into

the will are those which are said to en-

ter into the heart. Arcana Coelestia
