August 24th Daily Hymn, Readings, Word, Psalm and Prayer

Hymn of the Day
In you alone, O God, we hope, and not in our own merit. We rest our fears in your good Word and trust your Holy Spirit. Your promise keeps us strong and sure; we trust the cross, your signature, inscribed upon our temples. ("Out of the Depths I Cry to You"- Text:Martin Luther, 1483-1546; tr. composite)
