In the Strength of Your Power, Lord--Jan. 26, 2019

Gracious God, how much you have done for me,

what mercy you have shown me!

You have delivered my soul from death,

and my feet from falling.

From my birth you have borne me,

carried from the womb;

even to my old age

you will carry, you will save.

Make me strong in you,

in the strength of your power,

that I may walk before you

in the light of life.

Listen to me, O house of Jacob, 

          all the remnant of the house of Israel,
who have been borne by me from your birth,
