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.

Monday - 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 89:19-52

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




Then you spoke through a vi-sion
to your faithful follow-ers and said:
I have placed a young he-ro over a warri-or;
I have raised up/a young man from/the peo-ple.

I have dis-covered Da-vid, my serv-ant.
With my holy oil I have a-nointed him as king.
My hand will sup-port him,
and my arm will strength-en him.

No ene-my will be able to ex-act trib-ute from him;
a vio-lent op-pressor will not be able to hu-mili-ate him.
I will crush his ene-mies be-fore him;
I will strike down those who hate him.

He will ex-peri-ence my faithful-ness and loyal love,
and by my name he will win vic-to-ry.
I will place his hand over the sea,
his right hand over the riv-ers.

He will call out to me,
You are my fath-er, my God,
and the pro-tec-tor who de-livers me.
I will ap-point him to be my first-born son,

the most ex-alt-ed of/the earth's kings.
I will al-ways ex-tend my loyal love to him,
and my cove-nant with him is se-cure.
I will give him an e-ternal dy-nas-ty,

and make his throne as en-during as the skies a-bove.
If his sons re-ject my law and dis-o-bey my regu-la-tions,
if they break my rules
and do not keep my com-mand-ments,

I will punish their re-bel-lion
by beating them with a club,
their sin by in-flicting them with bruis-es.
But I will not re-move my loyal love from him.

I will not be un-faithful to my prom-ise.
I will not break my cove-nant
or go back on what I prom-ised.
Once and/for all I have vowed by my own holi-ness,

I will never de-ceive Da-vid.
His dy-nasty will last for-ev-er.
His throne will en-dure be-fore me, like the sun,
it will re-main sta-ble, like the moon,

his throne will en-dure like the sky.
But you have spurned and re-jected him;
you are an-gry with your cho-sen king.
You have re-pudi-at-ed your cove-nant with your serv-ant;

You have thrown his crown to/the ground.
You have broken down all his walls;
you have made his strong-holds a heap of ru-ins.
All who pass by have robbed him;

he has be-come an object of dis-dain to his neigh-bors.
You have al-lowed his adver-sar-ies to be vic-to-ri-ous,
and all his ene-mies to re-joice.
You turn back his sword from/the adver-sar-y,

and have not sus-tained him in bat-tle.
You have brought to an end his splen-dor,
and have knocked his throne to/the ground.
You have cut short his youth,

You have covered him with shame.
How long, O Lord, will this last?
Will you re-main hidden for-ev-er?
Will your an-ger con-tinue to burn like fire?

Take note of my brief life span!
Why do you make all people so mor-tal?
No man can live on with-out ex-peri--enc-ing death,
or de-liv-er his life from/the power of She-ol.

Where are your earli-er faithful deeds, O Lord,
the ones per-formed in/ac-cord-ance with your re-lia-ble oath to Da-vid?
Take note, O Lord, of/the way your servants are taunt-ed,
and of how I must bear so many in-sults from peo-ple!

Your ene-mies, O Lord, hurl in-sults;
they in-sult your chosen king as they dog his foot-steps.
The Lord de-serves praise for-ever-more!
We a-gree! We a-gree! 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.

Readings

A reading from 1 Corinthians 7:25-31

With regard to the question about people who have never married, I have no command from the Lord, but I give my opinion as one shown mercy by the Lord to be trustworthy. Because of the impending crisis I think it best for you to remain as you are. The one bound to a wife should not seek divorce. The one released from a wife should not seek marriage. But if you marry, you have not sinned. And if a virgin marries, she has not sinned. But those who marry will face difficult circumstances, and I am trying to spare you such problems. And I say this, brothers and sisters: The time is short. So then those who have wives should be as those who have none, those with tears like those not weeping, those who rejoice like those not rejoicing, those who buy like those without possessions, those who use the world as though they were not using it to the full. For the present shape of this world is passing away.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Monday - 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 Matthew 6:25-34

“Therefore I tell you, do not worry about your life, what you will eat or drink, or about your body, what you will wear. Isn’t there more to life than food and more to the body than clothing? Look at the birds in the sky: They do not sow, or reap, or gather into barns, yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Aren’t you more valuable than they are? And which of you by worrying can add even one hour to his life? Why do you worry about clothing? Think about how the flowers of the field grow; they do not work or spin. Yet I tell you that not even Solomon in all his glory was clothed like one of these! And if this is how God clothes the wild grass, which is here today and tomorrow is tossed into the fire to heat the oven, won’t he clothe you even more, you people of little faith? So then, don’t worry saying, ‘What will we eat?’ or ‘What will we drink?’ or ‘What will we wear?’ For the unconverted pursue these things, and your heavenly Father knows that you need them. But above all pursue his kingdom and righteousness, and all these things will be given to you as well. So then, do not worry about tomorrow, for tomorrow will worry about itself. Today has enough trouble of its own.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Most holy God, the source of all good desires, all right judgements, and all just works: Give to us, your servants, that peace which the world cannot give, so that our minds may be fixed on the doing of your will, and that we, being delivered from the fear of all enemies, may live in peace and quietness; through the mercies of Christ Jesus our Savior.

Amen.

A Prayer of Saint Chrysostom

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Al-might-y God,
you have given us grace at this time
with one ac-cord
to make our common sup-pli-ca-tion to you;

and you have prom-ised
through your well-be-loved Son
that when two or three are gathered in his Name
you will be in/the midst of them:

Ful-fill now, O Lord, our de-sires and pe-ti-tions
as may be best for us;
granting us in this world knowl-edge of your truth,
and in/the age to come life ever-lasting. A-men.
