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

Na-tions shall come to your light,
and kings to/the brightness of your ris-ing.
I will give you as/a light to/the na-tions,
that my sal-vation may reach to/the end of/the earth.
From the rising of/the sun to its set-ting
my Name shall be great a-mong the na-tions,
and in every place
in-cense shall be offered to my Name,
and a pure offer-ing: for my Name shall be great
a-mong the na-tions, says the Lord of Hosts.
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.
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 37:19-42
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
They will not be/a-shamed when hard times come;
when famine comes they will have/e-nough to eat.
But evil men will die;
the Lord's ene-mies will be/in-ciner-at-ed
they will go up in smoke.
Evil men borrow, but do not/re-pay their debts,
but/the god-ly show com-passion and are gener-ous.
Surely those favored by/the Lord will pos-sess the land,
but those re-jected by him will be wiped out.
The Lord grants suc-cess to/the one he finds com-menda-ble.
Even if he trips, he will/not fall head-long,
for the Lord holds his hand.
I was once young, now I am old.
I have never seen a godly man a-ban-doned,
or his children forced to search for food.
All day long he shows com-passion and lends to oth-ers,
and his children are blessed.
Turn a-way from evil! Do what/is right!
Then you will en-joy lasting se-curi-ty.
For the Lord pro-motes jus-tice,
God never a-bandons his faithful follow-ers.
They are perma-nently se-cure,
but the children of evil men are wiped out.
The god-ly will pos-sess the land
and will dwell in it perma-nent-ly.
The god-ly speak wise words
and pro-mote jus-tice.
The law of/their God con-trols their think-ing;
Their feet do not slip.
Evil men set/an am-bush for/the god-ly
and try to kill them.
But/the Lord does not/sur-render the god-ly,
Nor al-low them to be/con-demned in/a court of law.
Re-ly on/the Lord! O-bey his com-mands!
Then he will per-mit you/to pos-sess the land;
you/will see the de-mise of evil men.
I have seen ruthless evil men growing in in-flu-ence,
like a green tree grows in its native soil.
But then one passes by,
and sudden-ly they have disap-peared!
I looked for them,
but they could not be found.
Ob-serve the up-right!
Take note of/the one who has in-tegri-ty!
For/the one who pro-motes peace has a fu-ture.
Sinful rebels are total-ly de-stroyed;
evil men have no fu-ture.
But/the Lord de-livers the god-ly;
He pro-tects them/in times of trou-ble.
The Lord helps them and res-cues them;
He res-cues them from evil men and de-livers them,
for they seek his pro-tec-tion.
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 Hebrews 6:13-20
When God made a promise to Abraham, because he had no one greater by whom to swear, he swore by himself, saying, "I will surely bless you and multiply you. "And thus Abraham, having patiently endured, obtained the promise. Human beings, of course, swear by someone greater than themselves, and an oath given as confirmation puts an end to all dispute. In the same way, when God desired to show even more clearly to the heirs of the promise the unchangeable character of his purpose, he guaranteed it by an oath, so that through two unchangeable things, in which it is impossible that God would prove false, we who have taken refuge might be strongly encouraged to seize the hope set before us. We have this hope, a sure and steadfast anchor of the soul, a hope that enters the inner shrine behind the curtain, where Jesus, a forerunner on our behalf, has entered, having become a high priest forever according to the order of Melchizedek.
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

A reading from John 4:1-15
Now when Jesus learned that the Pharisees had heard, "Jesus is making and baptizing more disciples than John"—although it was not Jesus himself but his disciples who baptized—he left Judea and started back to Galilee.
But he had to go through Samaria. So he came to a Samaritan city called Sychar, near the plot of ground that Jacob had given to his son Joseph. Jacob's well was there, and Jesus, tired out by his journey, was sitting by the well. It was about noon. A Samaritan woman came to draw water, and Jesus said to her, "Give me a drink. "(His disciples had gone to the city to buy food. )The Samaritan woman said to him, "How is it that you, a Jew, ask a drink of me, a woman of Samaria? " (Jews do not share things in common with Samaritans. )Jesus answered her, "If you knew the gift of God, and who it is that is saying to you, 'Give me a drink, ' you would have asked him, and he would have given you living water. "The woman said to him, "Sir, you have no bucket, and the well is deep. Where do you get that living water? Are you greater than our ancestor Jacob, who gave us the well, and with his sons and his flocks drank from it? "Jesus said to her, "Everyone who drinks of this water will be thirsty again, but those who drink of the water that I will give them will never be thirsty. The water that I will give will become in them a spring of water gushing up to eternal life. "The woman said to him, "Sir, give me this water, so that I may never be thirsty or have to keep coming here to draw water. "
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
