Invitation

Pentecost - Sunday Invitation

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



The Lord is in his ho-ly tem-ple;
let all the earth keep si-lence be-fore him
I was glad when they said to me,
Let us go to the house of the Lord.

Let the words of my mouth
and the med-i-ta-tion of my heart
be ac-cep-ta-ble in your sight, O Lord,
my strength and my re-deem-er.

Thus says the high and loft-y One
who in-hab-its e-ter-ni-ty,
whose name is Ho-ly,
I dwell in the high and ho-ly place

Send out your light
and your truth, that they may lead me,
and bring me to your ho-ly hill
and to your dwel-ling place.

Give thanks to the Lord, and call up-on his Name;
make known his deeds a-mong the peo-ples.
Lord, o-pen our lips.
And our mouth shall pro-claim your praise.

Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.

Sunday - Venite

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




Come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our sal-va-tion.
Let us come be-fore his pres-ence with thanks-giv-ing
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King a-bove all gods.
In his hand are the cav-erns of the earth,
and the heights of the hills are his al-so.

The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands have mold-ed the dry land.
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee,
and kneel be-fore the Lord our Mak-er.

For he is our God,
and we are the peo-ple of his pas-ture
and the sheep of his hand.
Oh, that to-day you would heark-en to his voice!

Psalms

Psalm 24

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



The Lord owns the earth and all it con-tains,
the world and all who live in it.
For he set its foun-da-tion up-on the sea,
and es-tab-lished it up-on the o-cean cur-rents.

Who is al-lowed to a-scend the moun-tain of the Lord?
Who may go up to his ho-ly dwell-ing place?
The one whose deeds are blame-less
and whose mo-tives are pure,

Who does not lie,
or make prom-is-es with no in-ten-tion of keep-ing them.
Such god-ly peo-ple are re-ward-ed by the Lord,
and vin-di-cat-ed by the God who de-liv-ers them.

Such pu-ri-ty have the peo-ple who seek his fa-vor,
Ja-cob’s de-scend-ants, who pray to him.
Look up, you gates!
Rise up, you e-ter-nal doors!

Then the ma-jes-tic king will en-ter!
Who is this ma-jes-tic king?
The Lord who is strong and might-y!
The Lord who is might-y in bat-tle!

Look up, you gates!
Rise up, you e-ter-nal doors!
Then the ma-jes-tic king will en-ter!
Who is this ma-jes-tic king?

The Lord of Heav-en’s Ar-my!
He is the ma-jes-tic king!
The Lord who is strong and might-y!
He is the ma-jes-tic king!

Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.

Psalm 29

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Ac-knowl-edge the Lord, you heav-en-ly be-ings,
ac-knowl-edge the Lord's maj-es-ty and pow-er!
Ac-knowl-edge the maj-es-ty of the Lord's rep-u-ta-tion!
Wor-ship the Lord in ho-ly at-tire!

The Lord's shout is heard o-ver the wat-er;
the ma-jes-tic God thun-ders,
the Lord ap-pears o-ver the surg-ing wat-er.
The Lord's shout is pow-er-ful,

the Lord's shout is ma-jest-ic.
The Lord's shout breaks the ce-dars,
the Lord shat-ters the ce-dars of Leb-a-non.
He makes Leb-a-non skip like a calf

He makes Sir-ion like a young ox.
The Lord's shout strikes with flam-ing fire.
The Lord's shout shakes the wil-der-ness,
the Lord shakes the wil-der-ness of Ka-desh.

The Lord's shout bends the large trees
and strips the leaves from the for-est.
Eve-ry-one in his tem-ple says, “ma-jest-ic”
The Lord sits en-throned o-ver the en-gulf-ing wat-ers,

the Lord sits en-throned as the e-ter-nal king.
The Lord gives his peo-ple strength;
the Lord grants his peo-ple se-cu-ri-ty.
the Lord sits en-throned as the e-ter-nal king.

Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.

Readings

A reading from Job 38:1, 18-41

Then the Lord answered Job out of the whirlwind:

Have you considered the vast expanses of the earth?
Tell me, if you know it all!

“In what direction does light reside,
and darkness, where is its place,

that you may take them to their borders
and perceive the pathways to their homes?

You know, for you were born before them;
and the number of your days is great!

Have you entered the storehouse of the snow,
or seen the armory of the hail,

which I reserve for the time of trouble,
for the day of war and battle?

In what direction is lightning dispersed,
or the east winds scattered over the earth?

Who carves out a channel for the heavy rains,
and a path for the rumble of thunder,

to cause it to rain on an uninhabited land,
a wilderness where there are no human beings,

to satisfy a devastated and desolate land,
and to cause it to sprout with vegetation?

Does the rain have a father,
or who has fathered the drops of the dew?

From whose womb does the ice emerge,
and the frost from the sky, who gives birth to it,

when the waters become hard like stone,
when the surface of the deep is frozen solid?

Can you tie the bands of the Pleiades,
or release the cords of Orion?

Can you lead out
the constellations in their seasons,
or guide the Bear with its cubs?

Do you know the laws of the heavens,
or can you set up their rule over the earth?

Can you raise your voice to the clouds
so that a flood of water covers you?

Can you send out lightning bolts, and they go?
Will they say to you, ‘Here we are’?

Who has put wisdom in the heart,
or has imparted understanding to the mind?

Who by wisdom can count the clouds,
and who can tip over the water jars of heaven,

when the dust hardens into a mass,
and the clumps of earth stick together?

“Do you hunt prey for the lioness,
and satisfy the appetite of the lions,

when they crouch in their dens,
when they wait in ambush in the thicket?

Who prepares prey for the raven,
when its young cry out to God
and wander about for lack of food?

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Sunday - First Song of Isaiah

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     





Sure-ly, it is God who saves me;
I will trust in him and not be a-fraid.
For the Lord is my strong-hold and my sure de-fense,
and he will be my Sav-ior.

There-fore you shall draw wa-ter with re-joic-ing
from the springs of sal-va-tion.
And on that day you shall say,
Give thanks to the Lord and call up-on his Name;

Make his deeds known a-mong the peo-ples;
see that they re-mem-ber that his Name is ex-alt-ed.
Sing the prais-es of the Lord,
for he has done great things,

And this is known in all the world.
Cry a-loud, in-hab-it-ants of Zi-on, ring out your joy,
for the great one in the midst of you
is the Ho-ly One of Is-ra-el.

Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.

A reading from Revelation 18:1-8

After these things I saw another angel, who possessed great authority, coming down out of heaven, and the earth was lit up by his radiance. He shouted with a powerful voice:
“Fallen, fallen, is Babylon the great!
She has become a lair for demons,
a haunt for every unclean spirit,
a haunt for every unclean bird,
a haunt for every unclean and detested beast.

For all the nations have fallen from
the wine of her immoral passion,
and the kings of the earth have committed sexual immorality with her,
and the merchants of the earth have gotten rich from the power of her sensual behavior.”

Then I heard another voice from heaven saying, “Come out of her, my people, so you will not take part in her sins and so you will not receive her plagues, because her sins have piled up all the way to heaven and God has remembered her crimes. Repay her the same way she repaid others; pay her back double corresponding to her deeds. In the cup she mixed, mix double the amount for her. As much as she exalted herself and lived in sensual luxury, to this extent give her torment and grief because she said to herself, ‘I rule as queen and am no widow; I will never experience grief!’ For this reason, she will experience her plagues in a single day: disease, mourning, and famine, and she will be burned down with fire, because the Lord God who judges her is powerful!”

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Sunday Creed

We be-lieve in God, the Fath-er al-might-y,
cre-a-tor of heav-en and earth.
We be-lieve in Je-sus Christ,
his on-ly son, our Lord.

He was con-ceived by the pow-er of the Ho-ly Spi-rit
and born of the Vir-gin Ma-ry.
He suf-fered un-der Pon-tius Pi-late,
was cru-ci-fied, died, and was bur-ied.

He de-scend-ed to the dead.
On the third day he rose a-gain.
He a-scend-ed into heav-en,
and is seat-ed at the right hand of the Fath-er.

He will come a-gain
to judge the liv-ing and the dead.
We be-lieve in the Ho-ly Spi-rit,
the ho-ly cath-o-lic Church,

the com-mun-ion of saints,
the for-give-ness of sins,
the res-ur-rec-tion of the bod-y,
and the life ev-er-last-ing. A-men.

Al-might-y God, Fa-ther of all mer-cies,
we your un-wor-thy serv-ants give you hum-ble thanks
for all your good-ness and lov-ing kind-ness
to us and to all whom you have made.

We bless you for our cre-a-tion, pres-er-va-tion,
