Evening Prayer - Tuesday September 21 2021




Confession


Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name.

Amen

May Almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us all our sins
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
strengthen us in all goodness,
and by the power of the Holy Spirit
keep us in eternal life.

Amen

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 Gracious Light

O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the
everliving Father in heaven.
O Jesus, Christ, holy and blessed!

Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You are worthy at all times
to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.



Psalm 19


Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




The heavens de-clare the glory of God;
the sky dis-plays his handi-work.
Day after day it speaks out;
night after night it re-veals his great-ness.

There is no ac-tual speech or word,
nor is its voice liter-al-ly heard.
Yet its voice echoes through-out the earth;
its words carry to/the dis-tant ho-ri-zon.

In/the sky he has pitched a tent for/the sun.
Like a bride-groom it e-merg-es from its cham-ber;
like a strong man it en-joys running its course.
It e-merges from/the dis-tant ho-ri-zon,

and goes from one end of/the sky to/the oth-er;
noth-ing can es-cape its heat.
The law of/the Lord is per-fect and pre-serves one's life.
The rules set down by/the Lord are re-lia-ble

and im-part wis-dom to/the inex-pe-ri-enced.
The Lord's pre-cepts are fair and make one joy-ful.
The Lord's com-mands are pure and give in-sight for life.
The com-mands to fear the Lord are right and en-dure for-ev-er.

The judg-ments given by/the Lord
are trust-worthy and ab-so-lute-ly just.
They are of greater val-ue than gold,
than even a great a-mount of pure gold;

they bring greater de-light than hon-ey,
than even the sweet-est hon-ey from/a honey-comb.
Yes, your servant finds moral guid-ance there;
those who o-bey them re-ceive a rich re-ward.

Who can know all his er-rors?
Please do not punish me for sins I am una-ware of.
More-over, keep me from com-mItting fla-grant sins;
do not al-low such sins to con-trol me.

Then I will be blame-less,
and inno-cent of bla-tant re-bel-lion.
May my words and my thoughts be ac-cept-able in your sight, O Lord,
my shelter-ing rock and my re-deem-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 112


Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




Praise the Lord! Alle-lu-ja!
How blessed is the one who o-beys the Lord,
who takes great de-light in keeping his com-mands.
His de-scendants will be power-ful on/the earth;

The god-ly will be blessed.
His house con-tains wealth and rich-es;
his in-tegri-ty en-dures.
In/the darkness a light shines for/the god-ly,

For each one who is merci-ful, com-passion-ate, and just.
It goes well for/the one who gener-ous-ly lends mon-ey,
and con-ducts his busi-ness honest-ly.
For he will never be shak-en;

Oth-ers will al-ways re-member one who is just.
He does not fear bad news.
He is confi-dent; he trusts in/the Lord.
His re-solve is firm; he will not suc-cumb to fear

And so he looks in triumph on his ene-mies.
He gener-ous-ly gives to/the need-y;
his in-tegri-ty en-dures.
He will be vindi-cat-ed and hon-ored.

When the wicked see this, they will wor-ry;
they will grind their teeth in frus-tration and melt a-way;
the de-sire of/the wicked will per-ish.
How blessed is the one who o-beys the Lord,

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 Job 28:12-28



“But wisdom—where can it be found?
Where is the place of understanding?


Mankind does not know its place;
it cannot be found in the land of the living.


The deep says, ‘It is not with me.’
And the sea says, ‘It is not with me.’


Fine gold cannot be given in exchange for it,
nor can its price be weighed out in silver.


It cannot be measured out for purchase with the gold of Ophir,
with precious onyx or sapphires.


Neither gold nor crystal can be compared with it,
nor can a vase of gold match its worth.


Of coral and jasper no mention will be made;
the price of wisdom is more than pearls.


The topaz of Cush cannot be compared with it;
it cannot be purchased with pure gold.


“But wisdom—where does it come from?
Where is the place of understanding?


For it has been hidden
from the eyes of every living creature,
and from the birds of the sky it has been concealed.


Destruction and Death say,
‘With our ears we have heard a rumor about where it can be found.’


God understands the way to it,
and he alone knows its place.


For he looks to the ends of the earth
and observes everything under the heavens.


When he made the force of the wind
and measured the waters with a gauge,


when he imposed a limit for the rain,
and a path for the thunderstorm,


then he looked at wisdom and assessed its value;
he established it and examined it closely.


And he said to mankind,
‘The fear of the Lord—that is wisdom,
and to turn away from evil is understanding.’”

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

A reading from Matthew 13:44-52


“The kingdom of heaven is like a treasure, hidden in a field, that a person found and hid. Then because of joy he went and sold all that he had and bought that field.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a merchant searching for fine pearls. When he found a pearl of great value, he went out and sold everything he had and bought it.

“Again, the kingdom of heaven is like a net that was cast into the sea that caught all kinds of fish. When it was full, they pulled it ashore, sat down, and put the good fish into containers and threw the bad away. It will be this way at the end of the age. Angels will come and separate the evil from the righteous and throw them into the fiery furnace, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth.

“Have you understood all these things?” They replied, “Yes. ”Then he said to them, “Therefore every expert in the law who has been trained for the kingdom of heaven is like the owner of a house who brings out of his treasure what is new and old. ”

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Tuesday - 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.
