Invitation

Saturday - Pentecost Invitation

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



The Lord is in his holy tem-ple;
let all the earth keep silence 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 medi-ta-tion of my heart
be ac-cepta-ble in your sight, O Lord,
my strength and my re-deem-er.

Thus says the high and lofty One
who in-habits e-terni-ty,
whose name is Ho-ly,
I dwell in/the high and holy place

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

Give thanks to/the Lord, and call 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.

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.

Saturday - Venite

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Come, let's sing to/the Lord;
let's shout for joy to/the Rock of our sal-va-tion.
Let's come be-fore his presence 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 caverns 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 molded the dry land.
Come, let's bow down, and bend the knee,
and kneel be-fore the Lord our Mak-er.

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

Psalms

Psalm 107:33-43

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




He turned streams into a de-sert,
springs of water into ar-id land,
and a fruitful land into a barren place,
be-cause of/the sin of its in-habit-ants.

As for his peo-ple, he turned a desert into a pool of wat-er,
and a dry land into springs of wat-er.
He al-lowed the hun-gry to settle there,
and they es-tab-lished a city in which to live.

They culti-vat-ed fields, and planted vine-yards,
which yielded a har-vest of fruit.
He blessed them so that they be-came very numer-ous.
He would not al-low their cat-tle to de-crease in num-ber.

As for their ene-my, they de-creased in num-ber
and they were beat-en down,
be-cause of painful dis-tress and suffer-ing.
He would pour con-tempt up-on princ-es,

And he made them wander in a waste-land with no road.
Yet he pro-tected the need-y from op-pres-sion,
and cared for his fami-lies like a flock of sheep.
When the god-ly see this, they re-joice,

And eve-ry sinner shuts his mouth.
Who-ev-er has wis-dom,
let him take note of these things!
Let them con-sider the Lord's acts of loyal love!

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 108

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




I am de-ter-mined, O God!
I will sing and praise you with my whole heart.
A-wake, O stringed instru-ment and harp!
I will wake up at dawn!

I will give you thanks be-fore the na-tion, O Lord!
I will sing prais-es to you be-fore foreign-ers!
For your loyal love ex-tends be-yond the sky,
and your faithful-ness reach-es the clouds.

Rise up a-bove the sky, O God!
May your splen-dor cov-er the whole earth!
De-liver by your power and an-swer me,
so that the ones you love may be safe.

God has spoken in his sanc-tu-ary: I will triumph!
I will par-cel out She-chem,
the Val-ley of Suc-coth I will mea9#me]-sure off.
Gil-e-ad be-longs to me, as does Ma-nas-seh!

E-phraim is my hel-met,
Ju-dah my roy-al scep-ter.
Mo-ab is my wash-ba-sin.
I will make E-dom serve me.

I will shout in triumph over Phil-is-tia.
Who will lead me into the forti-fied cit-y?
Who will bring me to E-dom?
Have you not re-ject-ed us, O God?

O God, you do not go into battle with our ar-my.
Give us help a-gainst the ene-mies,
for any help men might offer is fu-tile.
By God's power we will con-quer; he will tram-ple our ene-mies.

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 Isaiah 65:17-25



For look, I am ready to create
new heavens and a new earth!
The former ones will not be remembered;
no one will think about them anymore.

But be happy and rejoice forevermore
over what I am about to create!
For look, I am ready to create Jerusalem to be a source of joy,
and her people to be a source of happiness.

Jerusalem will bring me joy,
and my people will bring me happiness.
The sound of weeping or cries of sorrow
will never be heard in her again.

Never again will one of her infants live just a few days
or an old man die before his time.
Indeed, no one will die before the age of one hundred;
anyone who fails to reach the age of one hundred will be considered cursed.

They will build houses and live in them;
they will plant vineyards and eat their fruit.

No longer will they build a house only to have another live in it,
or plant a vineyard only to have another eat its fruit,
for my people will live as long as trees,
and my chosen ones will enjoy to the fullest what they have produced.

They will not work in vain
or give birth to children that will experience disaster.
For the Lord will bless their children
and their descendants.

Before they even call out, I will respond;
while they are still speaking, I will hear.

A wolf and a lamb will graze together;
a lion, like an ox, will eat straw,
and a snake’s food will be dirt.
They will no longer injure or destroy
on my entire royal mountain,” says the Lord.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Saturday - Song of Moses

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



I will sing to/the Lord,
for he is lofty 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 people and I will ex-alt him.

The Lord is a mighty war-ri-or;
Yah-weh is his holy Name.
The chari-ots of Phar-oah and his ar-my
has he hurled into the sea;

The finest of those who bear ar-mor
have been drowned in/the Red Sea.
The fathom-less deep has over-whelmed them;
they sank into the depths like a stone.

Your right hand, O Lord,
is glori-ous and might-y;
your right hand, O Lord,
has over-thrown the ene-my.

Who can be com-pared with you,
O Lord, a-mong the gods?
who is like you,
glori-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 people you re-deemed;
with your might you brought them in safe-ty
to your holy 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-ary, O Lord,
that your hand has es-tab-lished.
The Lord shall reign
for ever and for ever. A-men!

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.

A reading from Matthew 18:21-35

Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times!

“For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed 10,000 talents was brought to him. Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made. Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’ The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt. After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him 100 silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’ But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt. When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place. Then his lord called the first slave and said to him, ‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me! Should you not have shown mercy to your fellow slave, just as I showed it to you?’ And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him until he repaid all he owed. So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your brother from your heart.”

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

We be-lieve in God, the Fath-er al-might-y,
