Invitation

Wednesday - Epiphany Invitation

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



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.

Wednesday - Venite

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Come, let's sing to/the Lord;
let's shout for joy to/the Rock of our sal-va-tion.
Let's come be-fore his presence with thanks-giv-ing
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.

For the Lord is/a great God,
and a great King a-bove all gods.
In his hand are the caverns of/the earth,
and the heights of/the hills are his al-so.

The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands have molded the dry land.
Come, let's bow down, and bend the knee,
and kneel be-fore the Lord our Mak-er.

For he is our God,
and we are the people of his pas-ture
and the sheep of his hand.
Oh, that to-day you would hearken to his voice!

Psalms

Psalm 38

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



O Lord, don't con-tinue to re-buke/me in your an-ger!
Don't con-tinue to punish me in your raging fu-ry!
For your arrows pierce me,
and your hand presses me down.

My whole body is sick
be-cause of your judg-ment;
I am/de-prived of health be-cause/of my sin.
For my sins over-whelm me;

like a heavy load,
they are too much for me/to bear.
My wounds are in-fected and starting to smell,
be-cause/of my fool-ish sins.

I am dazed and com-pletely hu-mili-at-ed;
all day long I walk/a-round mourn-ing.
For I am over-come with shame
and my whole body is sick.

I am numb with pain
and se-vere-ly bat-tered;
I groan loud-ly
be-cause of/the anx-ie-ty I feel.

O Lord, you under-stand my heart's de-sire;
my groaning is not hidden from you.
My heart beats so quick-ly;
my strength leaves me; I can hardly see.

Be-cause/of my con-di-tion,
even my friends and ac-quaintan-ces
keep their dis-tance;
my neighbors stand far a-way.

Those who seek my life try/to en-trap me;
those who want/to harm me speak de-structive words;
all day long they say/de-ceitful things.
But I am like/a deaf man I hear noth-ing;

I am like/a mute who cannot speak.
I am like/a man who cannot hear
and is/in-capa-ble of argu-ing his de-fense.
Yet I wait for you, O Lord!

You will re-spond, O Lord, my God!
I have prayed for de-liver-ance,
be-cause other-wise they will gloat over me;
when my foot slips they will arro-gantly taunt me.

For I am/a-bout to stum-ble,
and I am/in con-stant pain.
Yes, I con-fess my wrong-do-ing,
and I am/con-cerned a-bout my sins.

But those/who are my ene-mies for no reason are numer-ous;
those/who hate me without cause out-number me.
They/re-pay me evil for/the good I have done;
though I have tried/to do good to them,

They hurl accu-sations at me.
Do not/a-bandon me, O Lord!
My God, do not/re-main far/a-way from me!
Hurry and help me, O Lord, my de-liver-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.

Readings

A reading from Genesis 9:18-29

The sons of Noah who went out of the ark were Shem, Ham, and Japheth. Ham was the father of Canaan. These three were the sons of Noah; and from these the whole earth was peopled. Noah, a man of the soil, was the first to plant a vineyard. He drank some of the wine and became drunk, and he lay uncovered in his tent. And Ham, the father of Canaan, saw the nakedness of his father, and told his two brothers outside. Then Shem and Japheth took a garment, laid it on both their shoulders, and walked backward and covered the nakedness of their father; their faces were turned away, and they did not see their father's nakedness.

When Noah awoke from his wine and knew what his youngest son had done to him, he said, "Cursed be Canaan; lowest of slaves shall he be to his brothers. "He also said, "Blessed by the LORD my God be Shem; and let Canaan be his slave. May God make space for Japheth, and let him live in the tents of Shem; and let Canaan be his slave. "

After the flood Noah lived three hundred fifty years. All the days of Noah were nine hundred fifty years; and he died.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Wednesday - First Song of Isaiah

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Surely, 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.

Therefore 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 Zion, ring out your joy,
for/the great one in/the midst of you
is the Holy 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 John 3:22-36

After this Jesus and his disciples went into the Judean countryside, and he spent some time there with them and baptized. John also was baptizing at Aenon near Salim because water was abundant there; and people kept coming and were being baptized—John, of course, had not yet been thrown into prison. Now a discussion about purification arose between John's disciples and a Jew. They came to John and said to him, "Rabbi, the one who was with you across the Jordan, to whom you testified, here he is baptizing, and all are going to him. "John answered, "No one can receive anything except what has been given from heaven. You yourselves are my witnesses that I said, 'I am not the Messiah, but I have been sent ahead of him. 'He who has the bride is the bridegroom. The friend of the bridegroom, who stands and hears him, rejoices greatly at the bridegroom's voice. For this reason my joy has been fulfilled. He must increase, but I must decrease. "The one who comes from above is above all; the one who is of the earth belongs to the earth and speaks about earthly things. The one who comes from heaven is above all. He testifies to what he has seen and heard, yet no one accepts his testimony. Whoever has accepted his testimony has certified this, that God is true. He whom God has sent speaks the words of God, for he gives the Spirit without measure. The Father loves the Son and has placed all things in his hands. Whoever believes in the Son has eternal life; whoever disobeys the Son will not see life, but must endure God's wrath.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
