Morning Prayer

"Support us Lord, all the day long,
till the shades lengthen, and the evening comes,
and the busy world is hused
and the fever of life is over,
and our work is done.
Then, in your mercy, give us a safe lodging,
a holy rest, and peace at last."
Venerable John Henry Cardinal Newman (poet and theologian, first an Anglican priest and later a Catholic priest and cardinal. He was an important and controversial figure in the religious history of England.)
