Wednesday - Evensong Invitation
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
Grace to you and peace from God our Fa-ther
and from/the Lord Je-sus Christ.
Wor-ship the Lord in/the beau-ty of his holi-ness;
let the whole earth trem-ble be-fore him.
Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as in-cense,
the lifting up of my hands as the eve-ning sacri-fice.
I will bless the Lord who gives me coun-sel;
my heart teaches me, night after night.
I have set the Lord al-ways be-fore me;
be-cause he is at my right hand, I shall not fall.
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.
Wednesday - O Gracious Light
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
O gra-cious light, pure bright-ness
of the ever-liv-ing Fath-er in heav-en,
O Je-sus Christ, holy and bless-ed!
we sing your prais-es, O God!
Now as we come to/the setting of/the sun,
and our eyes be-hold the ves-per light,
we sing your prais-es, O God:
Fath-er, Son, and Ho-ly Spi-rit.
You are worthy at all times
to be praised by happy voic-es,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glori-fied through all the worlds.
Psalms
Psalm 81
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
Shout for joy to God, our source of strength!
Shout out to/the God of Ja-cob!
Sing a song and play the tambou-rine,
the pleas-ant sound-ing harp,
and the ten-stringed instru-ment!
Sound the ram's horn on/the day of/the[#OvD@} new moon,
and on/the day of/the full moon
when our festi-val be-gins.
For ob-serving the festi-val
is a re-quire-ment for Is-ra-el;
it is an ordi-nance given by/the God of Ja-cob.
He de-creed it as a regu-la-tion in Jo-seph,
when he at-tacked the land of E-gypt.
I heard a voice I did not recog-nize.
It said: I re-moved the burden from his shoul-ders;
his hands were re-leased from holding the bas-kets.
In your dis-tress
you called out and I res-cued you.
I answered you from/a dark thunder-cloud.
I tested you at/the waters of Mer-i-bah.
I said, List-en, my peo-ple!
I will warn you! O Is-ra-el,
if only you would o-bey me!
There must be no other god a-mong you.
You must not wor-ship a foreign god.
I am the Lord, your God,
I am the one who brought you
out of/the land of E-gypt.
Open your mouth wide and I will fill it!
But my people did not o-bey me;
Is-ra-el did not sub-mit to me.
I gave them over to their stubborn de-sire;
they did what seemed right to them.
If only my people would o-bey me!
If only Is-ra-el would keep my com-mands!
Then I would quickly sub-due their ene-mies,
I would at-tack their adver-sar-ies.
May those who hate the Lord
cow-er in fear be-fore him!
May they be perma-nent-ly hu-miil-at-ed!
I would feed Is-ra-el the best wheat,
and would satis-fy your ap-pe-tite
with hon-ey from/the rocky cliff.
Shout for joy to God, our source of strength!
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 82
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
God stands in/the as-sem-bly of El;
in the midst of/the gods he renders judg-ment.
He says, How long
will you make un-just legal de-ci-sions
and show fa-vori-tism to/the wick-ed?
De-fend the cause of/the poor
and of/the fath-er-less!
Vindi-cate the op-pressed and suffer-ing!
Res-cue the poor and need-y!
De-liver them from/the power of/the wick-ed!
They neither know nor under-stand.
They stum-ble a-round in/the dark,
While all/the foun-da-tions of/the earth crum-ble.
I thought, You are all gods;
all of you are sons of/the Most High.
Yet you will die like mor-tals;
You will fall like all/the other rul-ers.
Rise up, O God, and exe-cute judg-ment
Pass judg-ment on all/the earth!
For you own all/the na-tions.
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 Acts 19:1-10
While Apollos was in Corinth, Paul went through the inland regions and came to Ephesus. He found some disciples there and said to them, “Did you receive the Holy Spirit when you believed?” They replied, “No, we have not even heard that there is a Holy Spirit.” So Paul said, “Into what then were you baptized?” “Into John’s baptism,” they replied. Paul said, “John baptized with a baptism of repentance, telling the people to believe in the one who was to come after him, that is, in Jesus.” When they heard this, they were baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus, and when Paul placed his hands on them, the Holy Spirit came upon them, and they began to speak in tongues and to prophesy. (Now there were about twelve men in all.)
So Paul entered the synagogue and spoke out fearlessly for three months, addressing and convincing them about the kingdom of God. But when some were stubborn and refused to believe, reviling the Way before the congregation, he left them and took the disciples with him, addressing them every day in the lecture hall of Tyrannus. This went on for two years, so that all who lived in the province of Asia, both Jews and Greeks, heard the word of the Lord.
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
Wednesday - First Song of Isaiah
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
Sure-ly, it is God who saves me;
I will trust in him and not be a-fraid.
For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure de-fense,
and he will be my Sav-ior.
There-fore you shall draw water with re-joic-ing
from the springs of sal-va-tion.
And on that day you shall say,
Give thanks to/the Lord and call up-on his Name;
Make his deeds known a-mong the peo-ples;
see that they re-member that his Name is ex-alt-ed.
Sing the praises of/the Lord,
for he has done great things,
And this is known in all the world.
Cry a-loud, in-habit-ants of Zi-on, ring out your joy,
for the great one in/the midst of you
is the Ho-ly One of Is-ra-el.
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 Mark 8:34-9:1
Then Jesus called the crowd, along with his disciples, and said to them, “If anyone wants to become my follower, he must deny himself, take up his cross, and follow me. For whoever wants to save his life will lose it, but whoever loses his life because of me and because of the gospel will save it. For what benefit is it for a person to gain the whole world, yet forfeit his life? What can a person give in exchange for his life? For if anyone is ashamed of me and my words in this adulterous and sinful generation, the Son of Man will also be ashamed of him when he comes in the glory of his Father with the holy angels.” And he said to them, “I tell you the truth, there are some standing here who will not experience death before they see the kingdom of God come with power.”
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
