Pastor David reads Psalm 119:1-24 and offers a prayer from Anne Steele:

Father of mercies, in thy word
What endless glory shines!
For ever be thy name adored
For these celestial lines.

My ever dear delight,
And still new beauties may I see,
And still increasing light.

Divine instructor, gracious Lord,
Be thou forever near;
Teach me to love thy sacred word,
And view my Savior here.

Pastor David reads Psalms 1, 2, and 3, and offers a prayer from Christina Rossetti:

Lord Jesus, All-pure, purify us that we may behold you.
All-holy, sanctify us that we may stand before you.
All-gracious, mould us that we may please you.
Very love, suffer us not to set at naught your love; suffer not devil, world, flesh to destroy us; suffer not ourselves to destroy ourselves; us with whom you strive, whom you desire, whom you love.
