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.

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 45

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




My heart is stirred by a beauti-ful song.
I say, I have com-posed this special song for/the king;
my tongue is as skilled as the stylus of/an ex-peri-enced scribe.
You are the most handsome of all men!

You speak in an im-pressive and fitting man-ner!
For this reason God grants you con-tin-ual bles-sing.
Strap your sword to your thigh, O war-ri-or!
Ap-pear in your ma-jes-tic splen-dor!

Ap-pear in your maj-es-ty and be vic-to-ri-ous!
Ride forth for/the sake of what is right,
on be-half of jus-tice!
Then your right hand will ac-com-plish might-y acts!

Your arrows are sharp
and pene-trate the hearts of/the king's ene-mies.
Na-tions fall at your feet.
Your throne, O God, is per-ma-nent.

The scepter of your kingdom is a scepter of jus-tice.
You love jus-tice and hate e-vil.
For this reason God, your God,
has a-nointed you with/the oil of joy,

ele-vating you a-bove your com-pan-ions.
All your garments are per-fumed with myrrh, al-oes, and cas-si-a.
From the lux-u-rious pal-ac-es comes the mu-sic of stringed in-stru-ments.
Prin-cess-es are a-mong your hon-ored women,

Your bride stands be-side you wearing jewel-ry of gold from O-phir.
Lis-ten, O prin-cess! Ob-serve and pay at-ten-tion!
For-get your home-land and your fam-i-ly!
Then the king will be at-tracted by your beau-ty.

Af-ter all, he is your master! Sub-mit to him!
Rich people from Tyre seek your favor by bringing a gift.
The prin-cess looks abso-lute-ly mag-nif-i-cent,
Decked out in pearls and grace-fully clothed

In a bro-cade trimmed with gold.
In em-broidered robes she is es-corted to/the king.
Her at-tendants, the maidens of hon-or, are led be-fore you.
They are full of joy as they walk in pro-ces-sion into the pal-ace.

Your sons will carry on/the dy-nas-ty of your an-ces-tors;
you will make them princes through-out the land.
I will pro-claim your greatness through the coming years,
Then the na-tions will praise you for-ev-er.

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 138

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




I will give you thanks with all my heart;
be-fore the heaven-ly as-sem-bly I will sing praises to you.
I will bow down toward your holy tem-ple,
and give thanks to your name,

be-cause of your loyal love and faithful-ness,
for you have ex-alted your prom-ise a-bove the en-tire sky.
When I cried out for help, you an-swered me.
You made me bold and en-er-gized me.

Let all the kings of/the earth give thanks to you, O Lord,
when they hear the words you speak.
Let them sing a-bout the Lord's deeds,
for the Lord's splen-dor is mag-nif-i-cent.

Though the Lord is ex-alted, he looks after the low-ly,
and hum-bles the proud from far a-way.
Even when I must walk in/the midst of danger, you re-vive me.
You op-pose my angry ene-mies,

and your right hand de-livers me.
The Lord a-veng-es me.
O Lord, your loyal love en-dures.
Do not a-ban-don those whom you have made!

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 149

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




Praise the Lord! Sing to/the Lord a new song!
Praise him in/the as-sem-bly of/the god-ly!
Let Is-ra-el re-joice in their Cre-a-tor!
Let the people of Zi-on de-light in their King!

Let them praise his name with danc-ing!
Let them sing praises to him
to the ac-com-pani-ment of/the tam-bourine and harp!
For the Lord takes de-light in his peo-ple;

he ex-alts the op-pressed
by de-liv-er-ing them.
Let the god-ly re-joice
be-cause of their vindi-ca-tion!

Let them shout for joy up-on their beds!
May the praises of God be in their mouths
and a two-edged sword in their hands,
in order to take re-venge on/the na-tions

and punish foreign-ers.
They bind their kings in chains
and their nobles in iron shack-les,
and exe-cute the judg-ments

to which their ene-mies have been sen-tenced.
All _ his loyal follow-ers
will be vindi-cat-ed.
Praise the Lord! Sing to/the Lord a new song!

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 Jeremiah 31:1-14



At that time I will be the God of all the clans of Israel,
and they will be my people.
I, the Lord, affirm it!”

The Lord says:
“The people of Israel who survived
death at the hands of the enemy
will find favor in the wilderness
as they journey to find rest for themselves.

In a faraway land the Lord will manifest himself to them.
He will say to them, ‘I have loved you with an everlasting love.
That is why I have continued to be faithful to you.

I will rebuild you, my dear children Israel,
so that you will once again be built up.
Once again you will take up the tambourine
and join in the happy throng of dancers.

Once again you will plant vineyards
on the hills of Samaria.
Those who plant them
will once again enjoy their fruit.

Yes, a time is coming
when watchmen will call out on the mountains of Ephraim,
“Come! Let us go to Zion
to worship the Lord our God!”’”

Moreover, the Lord says:
“Sing for joy for the descendants of Jacob.
Utter glad shouts for that foremost of the nations.
Make your praises heard.
Then say, ‘Lord, rescue your people.
Deliver those of Israel who remain alive.’

Then I will reply, ‘I will bring them back from the land of the north.
I will gather them in from the distant parts of the earth.
Blind and lame people will come with them,
so will pregnant women and women about to give birth.
A vast throng of people will come back here.

They will come back shedding tears of contrition.
I will bring them back praying prayers of repentance.
I will lead them besides streams of water,
along smooth paths where they will never stumble.
I will do this because I am Israel’s father;
Ephraim is my firstborn son.’

“Listen to the Lord’s message, O nations.
Proclaim it in the faraway lands along the sea.
Say, ‘The one who scattered Israel will regather them.
He will watch over his people like a shepherd watches over his flock.’

For the Lord will rescue the descendants of Jacob.
He will secure their release from those who had overpowered them.

They will come and shout for joy on Mount Zion.
They will be radiant with joy over the good things the Lord provides,
the grain, the fresh wine, the olive oil,
the young sheep, and the calves he has given to them.
They will be like a well-watered garden
and will not grow faint or weary any more.

The Lord says, ‘At that time young women will dance and be glad.
Young men and old men will rejoice.
I will turn their grief into gladness.
I will give them comfort and joy in place of their sorrow.

I will provide the priests with abundant provisions.
My people will be filled to the full with the good things I provide.’

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

A reading from John 19:23-27

Now when the soldiers crucified Jesus, they took his clothes and made four shares, one for each soldier, and the tunic remained. (Now the tunic was seamless, woven from top to bottom as a single piece.) So the soldiers said to one another, “Let’s not tear it, but throw dice to see who will get it.” This took place to fulfill the scripture that says, “They divided my garments among them, and for my clothing they threw dice.” So the soldiers did these things.

Now standing beside Jesus’ cross were his mother, his mother’s sister, Mary the wife of Clopas, and Mary Magdalene. So when Jesus saw his mother and the disciple whom he loved standing there, he said to his mother, “Woman, look, here is your son!” He then said to his disciple, “Look, here is your mother!” From that very time the disciple took her into his own home.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Sunday - Song of Mary

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



My soul pro-claims the greatness of/the Lord,
my spirit re-joices in God my Sav-ior;
for he has looked with favor on his lowly serv-ant.
From this day all gener-a-tions will call me blessed:

the Al-might-y has done great things for me,
and _ holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him
in eve-ry gener-a-tion.

He has shown the strength of his arm,
he has scattered the proud in their con-ceit.
He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,
and has lifted up the low-ly.

He has filled the hungry with good things,
and the rich he has sent/a-way emp-ty.
He has come to/the help of his servant Is-ra-el,
for he has re-membered his prom-ise of mer-cy,

The prom-ise he made to our fath-ers,
to Abra-ham and his children for-ev-er.
My soul pro-claims the greatness of/the Lord,
my spirit re-joices in God my Sav-ior;

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.
