O Gracious Light Phos hilaron
O gracious light, pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
Now as we come to the setting of the sun,

and to be glorified through all the worlds.
Psalm 105:23-45

Is-ra-el moved to E-gypt;
Ja-cob lived for a time in the land of Ham.
The Lord made his peo-ple ver-y fruit-ful,
and made them more nu-mer-ous than their en-e-mies.
He caused them to hate his peo-ple,
and to mis-treat his serv-ants.
He sent his serv-ant Mo-ses,
and Aa-ron, whom he had cho-sen.
They ex-e-cut-ed his mi-rac-u-lous signs a-mong them,
and his a-maz-ing deeds in the land of Ham.
He made it dark;
they did not dis-o-bey his or-ders.
He turned their wa-ter into blood,
and He killed all their fish.
Their land was o-ver-run by frogs,
which e-ven got into the rooms of their kings.
He or-dered flies to come;
gnats in-vad-ed their whole ter-ri-to-ry.
He sent hail a-long with the rain;
there was light-ning in their land.
He de-stroyed their vines and fig trees,
and broke the trees through-out their ter-ri-to-ry.
He or-dered lo-custs to come,
in-nu-mer-a-ble grass-hop-pers.
They ate all the veg-e-ta-tion in their land,
and de-voured the crops of their fields.
He struck down all the first-born in their land,
the first fruits of their re-pro-duc-tive pow-er.
He brought his peo-ple out
en-riched with sil-ver and gold;
none of his tribes stum-bled.
E-gypt was hap-py when they left,
For they were a-fraid of them.
He spread out a cloud for a cov-er,
and pro-vid-ed a fire to light up the night.
They asked for food, and he sent quail;
he sat-is-fied them with food from the sky.
He o-pened up a rock and wa-ter flowed out;
a riv-er ran through dry re-gions.
Yes, he re-mem-bered the sa-cred prom-ise
The prom-ise he made to A-bra-ham his serv-ant.
When he led his peo-ple out, they re-joiced;
his cho-sen ones shout-ed with joy.
He hand-ed the ter-ri-to-ry of na-tions o-ver to them,
and they took pos-ses-sion
of what oth-er peo-ples had pro-duced,
so that they might keep his com-mands and o-bey his laws.
Praise the Lord! Al-le-lu-ia! A-men
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 Acts 21:27-36
When the seven days were almost over, the Jews from the province of Asia who had seen him in the temple area stirred up the whole crowd and seized him, shouting, “Men of Israel, help! This is the man who teaches everyone everywhere against our people, our law, and this sanctuary! Furthermore he has brought Greeks into the inner courts of the temple and made this holy place ritually unclean!” (For they had seen Trophimus the Ephesian in the city with him previously, and they assumed Paul had brought him into the inner temple courts.)
The whole city was stirred up, and the people rushed together. They seized Paul and dragged him out of the temple courts, and immediately the doors were shut. While they were trying to kill him, a report was sent up to the commanding officer of the cohort that all Jerusalem was in confusion. He immediately took soldiers and centurions and ran down to the crowd. When they saw the commanding officer and the soldiers, they stopped beating Paul.
Then the commanding officer came up and arrested him and ordered him to be tied up with two chains; he then asked who he was and what he had done. But some in the crowd shouted one thing, and others something else, and when the commanding officer was unable to find out the truth because of the disturbance, he ordered Paul to be brought into the barracks. When he came to the steps, Paul had to be carried by the soldiers because of the violence of the mob, for a crowd of people followed them, screaming, “Away with him!”

Thanks be to God!
Thursday - Song of Moses
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
I will sing to the Lord,
for he is loft-y and up-lift-ed;
the horse and its rid-er
has he hurled into the sea.
The Lord is my strength and my ref-uge;
the Lord has be-come my Sav-ior.
This is my God and I will praise him,
the God of my peo-ple and I will ex-alt him.
The Lord is a might-y war-ri-or;
Yah-weh is his ho-ly Name.
The char-i-ots of Phar-oah and his ar-my
has he hurled into the sea;
The fin-est of those who bear ar-mor
have been drowned in the Red Sea.
The fa-thom-less deep has o-ver-whelmed them;
they sank into the depths like a stone.
Your right hand, O Lord,
is glo-ri-ous and might-y;
your right hand, O Lord,
has o-ver-thrown the en-e-my.
Who can be com-pared with you,
O Lord, a-mong the gods?
who is like you,
glo-ri-ous in ho-li-ness,
Awe-some in re-nown,
and work-er of won-ders?
You stretched forth your right hand;
the earth swal-lowed them up.
With your con-stant love
you led the peo-ple you re-deemed;
with your might you brought them in safe-ty
to your ho-ly dwell-ing place.
You will bring them in and plant them
on the mount of your pos-ses-sion,
In the rest-ing place
you have made for your-self, O Lord,
In the sanc-tu-ar-y, O Lord,
that your hand has es-tab-lished.
The Lord shall reign
for ev-er and for ev-er. A-men!
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 Luke 6:1-11
Jesus was going through the grain fields on a Sabbath, and his disciples picked some heads of wheat, rubbed them in their hands, and ate them. But some of the Pharisees said, “Why are you doing what is against the law on the Sabbath?” Jesus answered them, “Haven’t you read what David did when he and his companions were hungry – how he entered the house of God, took and ate the sacred bread, which is not lawful for any to eat but the priests alone, and gave it to his companions?” Then he said to them, “The Son of Man is lord of the Sabbath.”
On another Sabbath, Jesus entered the synagogue and was teaching. Now a man was there whose right hand was withered. The experts in the law and the Pharisees watched Jesus closely to see if he would heal on the Sabbath, so that they could find a reason to accuse him. But he knew their thoughts, and said to the man who had the withered hand, “Get up and stand here.” So he rose and stood there. Then Jesus said to them, “I ask you, is it lawful to do good on the Sabbath or to do evil, to save a life or to destroy it?” After looking around at them all, he said to the man, “Stretch out your hand.” The man did so, and his hand was restored. But they were filled with mindless rage and began debating with one another what they would do to Jesus.

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

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,

LEVAS2 (L099) On Christ the solid rock
1 My hope is built on nothing less
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.2 When darkness veils His lovely face,
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev’ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil. Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.3 His oath, His covenant and blood,
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay. Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.4 When He shall come with trumpet sound,
O may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne. Refrain:
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
Than Jesus’ blood and righteousness;
I dare not trust the sweetest frame,
But wholly lean on Jesus’ name.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
I rest on His unchanging grace;
In ev’ry high and stormy gale,
My anchor holds within the veil.

All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
Support me in the whelming flood;
When all around my soul gives way,
he then is all my hope and stay.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
O may I then in Him be found;
Dressed in His righteousness alone,
Faultless to stand before the throne.
On Christ, the solid Rock, I stand,
All other ground is sinking sand.
All other ground is sinking sand.
