April 28th Daily Hymn, Readings, Word, Psalm and Prayer

Hymn of the Day
My soul cries out with a joyful shout that the God of my heart is great, and my spirit sings of the wondrous things that you bring to the ones who wait. You fixed your sight on your servant's plight, and my weakness you did not spurn, so from east to west shall my name be blest. Could the world be about to turn? My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn. Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn. ("Canticle of the Turning" - Text: Rory Cooney, b. 1952, based on the Magnificat)
