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 119:73-96

Your hands made me and formed me.
Give me under-stand-ing so that I might learn your com-mands.
Your loyal fo-llow-ers will be glad when they see me,
for I find hope in your word.

I know, Lord, that your reg-u-la-tions are just.
You dis-ci-plined me be-cause of your faithful de-vo-tion to me.
May your loyal love con-sole me,
as you prom-ised your serv-ant.

May I ex-peri-ence your com-pas-sion, so I might live!
For I find de-light in your law.
May the ar-ro-gant be hu-mili-at-ed,
for they have slan-dered me!

But I medi-tate on your pre-cepts.
May your loyal foll-low-ers turn to me,
those who know your rules.
May I be ful-ly com-mit-ted to your stat-utes,

so that I might not be a-shamed.
I des-per-ate-ly long for your de-liver-ance.
I find hope in your word.
My eyes grow tired as I wait for your prom-ise to be ful-filled.

I say, When will you com-fort me?
For I am like a wine-skin dried up in smoke.
I do not for-get your stat-utes.
How long must your serv-ant en-dure this?

When will you judge those who pur-sue me?
The ar-ro-gant dig pits to trap me, which vio-lates your law.
All your com-mands are re-li-a-ble.
I am pur-sued with-out rea-son. Help me!

They have al-most de-stroyed me here on/the earth,
but I do not re-ject your pre-cepts.
Re-vive me with your loyal love,
that I might keep the rules you have re-vealed.

O Lord, your in-struc-tions en-dure;
they stand se-cure in heav-en.
You dem-on-strate your faithful-ness to all gener-a-tions.
You es-tab-lished the earth and it stood firm.

To-day they stand firm by your de-cree,
for all things are your serv-ants.
If I had not found en-cour-age-ment in your law,
I would have died in my sor-row.

I will nev-er for-get your pre-cepts,
for by them you have re-vived me.
I be-long to you. De-liver me!
For I seek your pre-cepts.

The wicked pre-pare to kill me,
yet I con-cen-trate on your rules.
I real-ize that every-thing has its lim-it,
but your com-mands are be-yond full com-pre-hen-sion.

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 Luke 22:1-13

Now the Feast of Unleavened Bread, which is called the Passover, was approaching. The chief priests and the experts in the law were trying to find some way to execute Jesus, for they were afraid of the people.

Then Satan entered Judas, the one called Iscariot, who was one of the twelve. He went away and discussed with the chief priests and officers of the temple guard how he might betray Jesus, handing him over to them. They were delighted and arranged to give him money. So Judas agreed and began looking for an opportunity to betray Jesus when no crowd was present.

Then the day for the feast of Unleavened Bread came, on which the Passover lamb had to be sacrificed. Jesus sent Peter and John, saying, “Go and prepare the Passover for us to eat.” They said to him, “Where do you want us to prepare it?” He said to them, “Listen, when you have entered the city, a man carrying a jar of water will meet you. Follow him into the house that he enters, and tell the owner of the house, ‘The Teacher says to you, “Where is the guest room where I may eat the Passover with my disciples?”’ Then he will show you a large furnished room upstairs. Make preparations there.” So they went and found things just as he had told them, and they prepared the Passover.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

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.

Collect of the Day

Almighty Savior, who at noonday called your servant Saint Paul to be an apostle to the Gentiles: We pray you to illumine the world with the radiance of your glory, that all nations may come and worship you; for you live and reign for ever and ever.

Amen.

A Collect for Guidance

Heavenly Father, in you we live and move and have our being: We humbly pray you so to guide and govern us by your Holy Spirit, that in all the cares and occupations of our life we may not forget you, but may remember that we are ever walking in your sight; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Prayer for Mission

O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
