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 - Jubilate
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
Be joy-ful in/the Lord, all you lands;
serve the Lord with glad-ness
and come be-fore his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord him-self is God;
He him-self has made us, and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pas-ture.
Enter his gates with thanks-giv-ing;
go into his courts with praise;
Give thanks to him and call on his Name.
Be-cause the Lord is good;
his mercy is ever last-ing;
and his faithful-ness en-dures from age to age.
Psalms
Psalm 75
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
We give you thanks!
We give thanks to you, O God!
You re-veal your pres-ence;
peo-ple tell a-bout your a-mazing deeds.
God says, At the ap-point-ed times, I judge fair-ly.
When the earth and all its in-habit-ants dis-solve in fear,
I make its pil-lars se-cure.
I say to/the proud, Do not be proud,
And to/the wick-ed,
Do not be so con-fi-dent of vic-to-ry!
Do not be so cer-tain you have won!
Do not speak with your head held so high!
For vic-to-ry does not come from/the east or west,
or _ from/the wil-der-ness.
For God is the judge!
He brings one down and ex-alts an-oth-er.
For the Lord holds in his hand a cup full of foam-ing wine
mixed with spice, and pours it out.
Sure-ly all the wicked of/the earth
will slurp it up and drink it to its ver-y last drop.
As for me, I will con-tin-ual-ly tell what you have done;
I will sing praises to/the God of Ja-cob!
God says, I will bring down all the power of/the wick-ed;
the god-ly will be vic-to-ri-ous.
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 76
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
God has re-vealed him-self in Ju-dah;
in Is-ra-el his rep-u-ta-tion is great.
He lives in Sa-lem; he dwells in Zi-on.
There he shat-tered the ar-rows,
He shat-tered the shield, the sword,
and the rest of/the weap-ons of war.
You shine bright-ly and re-veal your maj-es-ty,
as you de-scend from/the hills where you killed your prey.
The brave-heart-ed were plun-dered; they fell a-sleep.
All the war-ri-ors were help-less.
At the sound of your bat-tle cry, O God of Ja-cob,
both rid-er and horse fell a-sleep.
You are awe-some! Yes, you!
Who can with-stand your in-tense an-ger?
From heaven you an-nounced what their pun-ish-ment would be.
The earth was a-fraid and si-lent when God a-rose to exe-cute judg-ment,
and to de-liver all the op-pressed of/the earth.
Cer-tain-ly your an-gry judg-ment up-on men will bring you praise;
you re-veal your an-ger in full meas-ure.
Make vows to/the Lord your God and re-pay them!
Let all those who sur-round him
bring trib-ute to/the awe-some one!
He hum-bles princ-es;
the kings of/the earth re-gard him as awe-some.
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 2 Kings 2:1-18
Just before the Lord took Elijah up to heaven in a windstorm, Elijah and Elisha were traveling from Gilgal. Elijah told Elisha, “Stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Bethel.” But Elisha said, “As certainly as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went down to Bethel. Some members of the prophetic guild in Bethel came out to Elisha and said, “Do you know that today the Lord is going to take your master from you?” He answered, “Yes, I know. Be quiet.”
Elijah said to him, “Elisha, stay here, for the Lord has sent me to Jericho.” But he replied, “As certainly as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they went to Jericho. Some members of the prophetic guild in Jericho approached Elisha and said, “Do you know that today the Lord is going to take your master from you?” He answered, “Yes, I know. Be quiet.”
Elijah said to him, “Stay here, for the Lord has sent me to the Jordan.” But he replied, “As certainly as the Lord lives and as you live, I will not leave you.” So they traveled on together. The 50 members of the prophetic guild went and stood opposite them at a distance, while Elijah and Elisha stood by the Jordan. Elijah took his cloak, folded it up, and hit the water with it. The water divided, and the two of them crossed over on dry ground.
When they had crossed over, Elijah said to Elisha, “What can I do for you, before I am taken away from you?” Elisha answered, “May I receive a double portion of the prophetic spirit that energizes you?” Elijah replied, “That’s a difficult request! If you see me taken from you, may it be so, but if you don’t, it will not happen.”
As they were walking along and talking, suddenly a fiery chariot pulled by fiery horses appeared. They went between Elijah and Elisha, and Elijah went up to heaven in a windstorm. While Elisha was watching, he was crying out, “My father, my father! The chariot and horsemen of Israel!” Then he could no longer see him. He grabbed his clothes and tore them in two. He picked up Elijah’s cloak, which had fallen off him, and went back and stood on the shore of the Jordan. He took the cloak that had fallen off Elijah, hit the water with it, and said, “Where is the Lord, the God of Elijah?” When he hit the water, it divided and Elisha crossed over.
When the members of the prophetic guild in Jericho, who were standing at a distance, saw him do this, they said, “The spirit that energized Elijah rests upon Elisha.” They went to meet him and bowed down to the ground before him. They said to him, “Look, there are 50 capable men with your servants. Let them go and look for your master, for the wind sent from the Lord may have carried him away and dropped him on one of the hills or in one of the valleys.” But Elisha replied, “Don’t send them out.” But they were so insistent that he became embarrassed. So he said, “Send them out.” They sent the 50 men out, and they looked for three days, but could not find Elijah. When they came back, Elisha was staying in Jericho. He said to them, “Didn’t I tell you, ‘Don’t go’?”
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

A reading from Matthew 5:17-20
“Do not think that I have come to abolish the law or the prophets. I have not come to abolish these things but to fulfill them. I tell you the truth, until heaven and earth pass away not the smallest letter or stroke of a letter will pass from the law until everything takes place. So anyone who breaks one of the least of these commands and teaches others to do so will be called least in the kingdom of heaven, but whoever obeys them and teaches others to do so will be called great in the kingdom of heaven. For I tell you, unless your righteousness goes beyond that of the experts in the law and the Pharisees, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven!
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
Saturday - 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.
