May God bless us!
May God, our God, bless us!
Then all the ends of/the earth
will give him the honor he de-serves.

May God show us his favor and bless us!
May he smile up-on us!
Then those living on earth will know what you are like;
all na-tions will know how you de-liver your peo-ple.

Let foreign-ers re-joice and cel-e-brate!
For you exe-cute jus-tice a-mong the na-tions,
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

Psalm 119:145-176

I cried out with all my heart,
Hear and an-swer me, O Lord!
I will ob-serve your stat-utes.
I have cried out to you;

Please de-liver me,
so that I can keep your rules.
I am up be-fore dawn crying for help.
I find hope in your word.

My eyes an-tici-pate the night-time hours,
so that I can medi-tate on your word.
List-en to me be-cause of your loyal love!
O Lord, re-vive me, as you typi-cal-ly do!

Those who are ea-ger to/do wrong draw near;
they are far from your law.
You are near, O Lord,
and all your com-mands are re-lia-ble.

I learned long a-go
that you or-dained your rules to last.
See my pain and res-cue me!
For I do not for-get your law.

Fight for me and de-fend me!
Re-vive me with your word!
The wicked have no chance for de-liver-ance,
for they do not seek your stat-utes.

Your com-passion is great, O Lord.
Re-vive me, as you typi-cal-ly do!
The ene-mies who chase me are numer-ous.
Yet I do not turn a-side from your rules.

I take note of/the treacher-ous and de-spise them,
be-cause they do not keep your in-struc-tions.
See how I love your pre-cepts!
O Lord, re-vive me with your loyal love!

Your in-struc-tions are total-ly re-lia-ble;
all your just regu-la-tions en-dure.
Rul-ers pur-sue me for no rea-son,
yet I am more a-fraid of dis-o-beying your in-struc-tions.

I re-joice in your in-struc-tions,
like one who finds much plun-der.
I love your law;
I hate and de-spise de-ceit;

Seven times a day I praise you
be-cause of your just regu-la-tions.
Those who love your law are com-plete-ly se-cure;
no-thing causes them to stum-ble.

I hope for your de-liver-ance,
O Lord, I o-bey your com-mands.
I keep your rules;
I love them all great-ly.

I keep your pre-cepts and rules,
for you are a-ware of every-thing I do.
List-en to my cry for help, O Lord!
Give me in-sight by your word!

List-en to my ap-peal for mer-cy!
De-liver me, as you prom-ised.
May praise flow freely from my lips,
for you teach me your stat-utes.

May my tongue sing a-bout your in-struc-tions,
for all your com-mands are just.
May your hand help me,
for I choose to o-bey your pre-cepts.

I long for your de-liver-ance, O Lord;
I find de-light in your law.
May I live and praise you!
May your regu-la-tions help me!

I have wandered off like a lost sheep.
Come looking for your serv-ant,
for I do not for-get your com-mands.
Your com-passion is great, O Lord.

Glory to/the Fath-er, and to/the Son,
and to/the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in/the be-ginning, is now,
and will be for-ever A-men.

Readings

A reading from John 3:16-21

For this is the way God loved the world: He gave his one and only Son, so that everyone who believes in him will not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but that the world should be saved through him. The one who believes in him is not condemned. The one who does not believe has been condemned already, because he has not believed in the name of the one and only Son of God. Now this is the basis for judging: that the light has come into the world and people loved the darkness rather than the light because their deeds were evil. For everyone who does evil deeds hates the light and does not come to the light, so that their deeds will not be exposed. But the one who practices the truth comes to the light, so that it may be plainly evident that his deeds have been done in God.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Sunday - Our Father

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



The Lord be with you.
And al-so with _ you.
Our Fath-er in heav-en,
hal-low-ed be your Name.

Your king-dom come,
your will be done on earth
as it is in heav-en.
Give us to-day our dai-ly bread.

For-give us our sins
as we _ for-give those
who sin a-gainst us.
Save us from/the time of tri-al,

De-liver us from e-vil.
For the king-dom, the pow-er,
and the glory are yours,
now and for-ever A-men.

Heavenly Father, send your Holy Spirit into our hearts, to direct and rule us according to your will, to comfort us in all our afflictions, to defend us from all error, and to lead us into all truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

A Collect for Sundays

Lord God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ triumphed over the powers of death and prepared for us our place in the new Jerusalem: Grant that we, who have this day given thanks for his resurrection, may praise you in that City of which he is the light, and where he lives and reigns for ever and ever.

Amen.

Prayer for Mission

O God and Father of all, whom the whole heavens adore: Let the whole earth also worship you, all nations obey you, all tongues confess and bless you, and men and women everywhere love you and serve you in peace; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
