Lord, teach us to number our days aright,
that we may gain wisdom of heart . . . Psalm 90
Help us do today the things that matter,
not to waste the time we have.
Yes, the moments we have are precious, Lord,
see that we count them dear.
Teach us to number our days aright.
Fill us this day with your kindness,
that we may be glad and rejoice all the days of our life.
Glory to the Father. . .
