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 122

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




I was glad be-cause they said to me,
We will go to/the Lord's tem-ple.
Our feet are standing in-side your gates, O Je-rusa-lem.
Je-rusa-lem is a city de-signed for/the great as-sem-bly.

The tribes go up there,
all _ the tribes of/the Lord,
where Isra-el must give thanks
to _ the name of/the Lord.

In-deed, the leaders sit there on thrones
and make legal de-ci-sions,
on the thrones of/the house of Da-vid.
Pray for/the peace of Je-rusa-lem!

May those who love her pros-per!
May there be peace in-side your de-fens-es,
and pros-per-i-ty in-side your for-tress!
For the sake of my broth-ers

and for my neighbors I will say,
May there be peace in you!
For the sake of/the tem-ple of/the Lord our God
I will pray for you to pros-per.

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 Mark 1:1-8

The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God. As it is written in the prophet Isaiah,

“Look, I am sending my messenger ahead of you,

who will prepare your way,

the voice of one shouting in the wilderness,

‘Prepare the way for the Lord,

make his paths straight.’”

In the wilderness John the baptizer began preaching a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins. People from the whole Judean countryside and all of Jerusalem were going out to him, and he was baptizing them in the Jordan River as they confessed their sins. John wore a garment made of camel’s hair with a leather belt around his waist, and he ate locusts and wild honey. He proclaimed, “One more powerful than I am is coming after me; I am not worthy to bend down and untie the strap of his sandals. I baptize you with water, but he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Wednesday - 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.

A Collect for Protection

O Lord God, almighty and everlasting Father, you have brought us in safety to this new day: Preserve us with your mighty power, that we may not fall into sin, nor be overcome by adversity; and in all we do, direct us to the fulfilling of your purpose; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.

Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ.
