L: Unless the Lord builds the house, the builders labor in vain.
 C: Build on to us a spiritual house, O God, and we will be holy people.
L: Unless the Lord guards the city, the guards keep watch in vain.
 C: Guard our hearts and minds, that we may walk in your ways.
L: Unless the Lord is the center of our worship, our words and praises are in vain.
 C: Here and now, Holy One, may we taste eternity.
