Sunday - Epiphany Invitation

Nations 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 nations 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.


Sunday - 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 24


Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



The Lord owns the earth and all/it con-tains,
the world and all who live in it.
For he set its foun-dation up-on the sea,
and es-tab-lished/it up-on/the o-cean cur-rents.

Who is al-lowed to a-scend the mountain of/the Lord?
Who may go up to his holy dwelling place?
The one whose deeds are blame-less
and whose mo-tives are pure,

Who does not lie,
or make promis-es with no in-tention of keeping them.
Such godly people are re-warded by/the Lord,
and vindi-cated by/the God who de-livers them.

Such puri-ty have the people who seek his fa-vor,
Ja-cob’s de-scendants, who pray to him.
Look up, you gates!
Rise up, you e-ter-nal doors!

Then the ma-jestic king will en-ter!
Who is this ma-jestic king?
The Lord who is strong and might-y!
The Lord who is mighty in bat-tle!

Look up, you gates!
Rise up, you e-ter-nal doors!
Then the ma-jestic king will en-ter!
Who is this ma-jestic king?

The Lord of Heaven’s Ar-my!
He is the ma-jestic king!
The Lord who is strong and might-y!
He is the ma-jestic king!

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 29


Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Ac-knowledge the Lord, you heaven-ly be-ings,
ac-knowledge the Lord's majes-ty and power!
Ac-knowledge the majes-ty of/the Lord's repu-ta-tion!
Worship the Lord in holy at-tire!

The Lord's shout is heard over the wat-er;
the ma-jestic God thun-ders,
the Lord ap-pears over the surging wat-er.
The Lord's shout is power-ful,

the Lord's shout is ma-jes-tic.
The Lord's shout breaks the ce-dars,
the Lord shatters the cedars of Leba-non.
He makes Leba-non skip like a calf

He makes Sir-ion like a young ox.
The Lord's shout strikes with flaming fire.
The Lord's shout shakes the wilder-ness,
the Lord shakes the wilder-ness of Ka-desh.

The Lord's shout bends the large trees
and strips the leaves from/the for-est.
Every-one in his temple says, ma-jes-tic
The Lord sits en-throned over the en-gulfing wat-ers,

the Lord sits en-throned as the e-ter-nal king.
The Lord gives his people strength;
the Lord grants his people se-curi-ty.
the Lord sits en-throned as the e-ter-nal king.

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 Genesis 18:16-33


Then the men set out from there, and they looked toward Sodom; and Abraham went with them to set them on their way. The LORD said, "Shall I hide from Abraham what I am about to do, seeing that Abraham shall become a great and mighty nation, and all the nations of the earth shall be blessed in him? No, for I have chosen him, that he may charge his children and his household after him to keep the way of the LORD by doing righteousness and justice; so that the LORD may bring about for Abraham what he has promised him." Then the LORD said, "How great is the outcry against Sodom and Gomorrah and how very grave their sin! I must go down and see whether they have done altogether according to the outcry that has come to me; and if not, I will know." So the men turned from there, and went toward Sodom, while Abraham remained standing before the LORD.

Then Abraham came near and said, "Will you indeed sweep away the righteous with the wicked? Suppose there are fifty righteous within the city; will you then sweep away the place and not forgive it for the fifty righteous who are in it? Far be it from you to do such a thing, to slay the righteous with the wicked, so that the righteous fare as the wicked! Far be that from you! Shall not the Judge of all the earth do what is just?" And the LORD said, "If I find at Sodom fifty righteous in the city, I will forgive the whole place for their sake." Abraham answered, "Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord, I who am but dust and ashes. Suppose five of the fifty righteous are lacking? Will you destroy the whole city for lack of five?" And he said, "I will not destroy it if I find forty-five there." Again he spoke to him, "Suppose forty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of forty I will not do it." Then he said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry if I speak. Suppose thirty are found there." He answered, "I will not do it, if I find thirty there." He said, "Let me take it upon myself to speak to the Lord. Suppose twenty are found there." He answered, "For the sake of twenty I will not destroy it." Then he said, "Oh do not let the Lord be angry if I speak just once more. Suppose ten are found there." He answered, "For the sake of ten I will not destroy it." And the LORD went his way, when he had finished speaking to Abraham; and Abraham returned to his place.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

A reading from Mark 8:22-30


They came to Bethsaida. Some people brought a blind man to him and begged him to touch him. He took the blind man by the hand and led him out of the village; and when he had put saliva on his eyes and laid his hands on him, he asked him, "Can you see anything?" And the man looked up and said, "I can see people, but they look like trees, walking." Then Jesus laid his hands on his eyes again; and he looked intently and his sight was restored, and he saw everything clearly. Then he sent him away to his home, saying, "Do not even go into the village." Jesus went on with his disciples to the villages of Caesarea Philippi; and on the way he asked his disciples, "Who do people say that I am?" And they answered him, "John the Baptist; and others, Elijah; and still others, one of the prophets." He asked them, "But who do you say that I am?" Peter answered him, "You are the Messiah." And he sternly ordered them not to tell anyone about him.

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-ations will call me blessed:

the Al-mighty 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 Isra-el,
for he has re-membered his promise of mer-cy,

The promise 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.
