happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sin is put away.
glory in his holy name; let the hearts of those that seek the Lord rejoice.
let your compassion come to me, that i may live; for your law is my delight.
happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sin is put away.
i shall pour clean water over you and you shall be cleansed; i shall cleanse you of all your filth. i shall give you a new heart and put a new spirit into you.
happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sin is put away.
Lord have mercy on us. Christ have mercy on us. Lord have mercy on us.
open, Lord, my eyes that i may see.
open, Lord my ears that i may hear.
open, Lord, my mind that i may understand.
open, Lord, my heart that i may love.
so shall i turn to you and be healed.
happy are they whose transgressions are forgiven and whose sin is put away.
(from the midday prayers on a Thursday in late January)
