Morning Prayer and the Litany (The Fourth Sunday in Advent 2025)

Morning Prayer and the Litany (The Fourth Sunday in Advent 2025) from Trinity Anglican Church (Connersville, IN)37 He brought his servants forth, enriched with Egypt's borrowed wealth; And, what transcends all treasures else, enriched with vig'rous health. 38 Egypt rejoiced, in hopes to find her plagues with them removed; Taught dearly now to fear worse ills by those already proved. 39 Their shrouding canopy by day a journeying cloud was spread; A fiery pillar all the night the desert marches led. 40 They longed for flesh; with ev'ning quails he furnished ev'ry tent; From heav'n's own granary, each morn, the bread of angels sent. 41 He smote the rock, whose flinty breast poured forth a gushing tide; Whose flowing streams, where'er they marched, the desert's drought supplied. 42 For still he did on Abr'am's faith an ancient league reflect; 43 He brought his people forth with joy, with triumph his elect. 44 Quite rooting out their heathen foes from Canaan's fertile soil, To them in cheap possession gave the knit of others' toil. 45 That they his statutes might observe, his sacred laws obey; For benefits so vast let us our songs of praise repay.
