The Lord Al-might-y grant us a peaceful night
and a per-fect end. A-men.
Our help is in/the Name of/the Lord;
The mak-er of heaven and earth.

Al-might-y God, our heaven-ly Fath-er:
We have sinned a-gainst you,
through our own fault,
in thought, and word, and deed,

and in what we have left un-done.
For the sake of your Son
our Lord Je-sus Christ,
for-give us all our of-fens-es;

and grant that we may serve you
in _ new-ness of life,
to the glory of your Name. A-men.
May the Al-might-y God grant us

for-give-ness of all our sins,
and the grace and comfort of/the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
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.

Psalm 25

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



O Lord, I come/be-fore you in prayer.
My God, I trust in you.
Please don't let me be hu-mili-at-ed;
Don't let my ene-mies trium-phantly re-joice over me!

Certain-ly none who re-ly on you will be hu-mili-at-ed.
Those who deal in treacher-y will be thwarted and a-shamed.
Make me under-stand your ways,
O Lord! Teach me your paths!

Guide me into your truth and teach me.
For you are the God who de-livers me;
on you I re-ly all day long.
Re-member your com-passion-ate and faithful deeds, O Lord,

for you have always acted in this man-ner.
Do not hold/a-gainst me the sins of my youth
or my re-bel-lious acts!
Be-cause you are faithful to me,

Ex-tend to me your favor, O Lord!
The Lord is both kind and fair;
that is why he teaches sinners the right way to live.
May he show the hum-ble what/is right!

May he teach the hum-ble his way!
The Lord always proves faithful and re-lia-ble
to those who follow the de-mands of his cove-nant.
For the sake of your repu-tation, O Lord, for-give my sin,

For my sin is great.
The Lord shows his faithful follow-ers the way they should live.
They ex-peri-ence his fa-vor;
their de-scendants in-herit the land.

The Lord's loyal follow-ers re-ceive his guid-ance,
and he re-veals his cove-nantal de-mands to them.
I con-tinual-ly look to/the Lord for help,
for he will free my feet from/the ene-my's net.

Turn toward me and have mercy on me,
for I am a-lone and op-pressed!
De-liver me from my dis-tress;
res-cue me from my suffer-ing!

For-give all my sins! See my pain and suffer-ing!
Watch my ene-mies, for they out-number me;
they hate me and want to harm me.
Pro-tect me and de-liver me!

Please do not let me be hu-mili-at-ed,
for I have taken shelter in you!
May in-tegri-ty and godli-ness pro-tect me, for I re-ly on you!
O God, res-cue Isra-el from all their dis-tress!

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 Acts 9:1-22

Meanwhile Saul, still breathing threats and murder against the disciples of the Lord, went to the high priest and asked him for letters to the synagogues at Damascus, so that if he found any who belonged to the Way, men or women, he might bring them bound to Jerusalem. Now as he was going along and approaching Damascus, suddenly a light from heaven flashed around him. He fell to the ground and heard a voice saying to him, "Saul, Saul, why do you persecute me?" He asked, "Who are you, Lord?" The reply came, "I am Jesus, whom you are persecuting. But get up and enter the city, and you will be told what you are to do." The men who were traveling with him stood speechless because they heard the voice but saw no one. Saul got up from the ground, and though his eyes were open, he could see nothing; so they led him by the hand and brought him into Damascus. For three days he was without sight, and neither ate nor drank.

Now there was a disciple in Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, "Ananias." He answered, "Here I am, Lord." The Lord said to him, "Get up and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul. At this moment he is praying, and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight." But Ananias answered, "Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints in Jerusalem; and here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who invoke your name." But the Lord said to him, "Go, for he is an instrument whom I have chosen to bring my name before Gentiles and kings and before the people of Israel; I myself will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name." So Ananias went and entered the house. He laid his hands on Saul and said, "Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus, who appeared to you on your way here, has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit." And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and his sight was restored. Then he got up and was baptized, and after taking some food, he regained his strength. For several days he was with the disciples in Damascus, and immediately he began to proclaim Jesus in the synagogues, saying, "He is the Son of God." All who heard him were amazed and said, "Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem among those who invoked this name? And has he not come here for the purpose of bringing them bound before the chief priests?" Saul became increasingly more powerful and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Messiah.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Into your hands, O Lord, I com-mend my spi-rit;
For you have re-deemed me, O Lord, O God of truth.
Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of your eye;
Hide us under the shadow of your wings.

Lord, have mercy up-on us.
Christ, have mercy up-on us.
Lord, hear our prayer;
And let our cry come to you.

Guide us as we wake, O Lord,
and guard us as we sleep;
that a-wake we may watch with Christ,
and a-sleep we may rest in peace.

Lord, you now have set your servant free
to go in peace as you have prom-ised;
For these eyes of mine have seen the Sav-ior,
whom you have pre-pared for all the world to see:

A Light to en-lighten the na-tions,
and the glory of your people Is-ra-el.
The al-mighty and merci-ful Lord,
Fath-er, Son, and Ho-ly Spi-rit, bless and keep 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.

Guide us as we wake, O Lord,
and guard us as we sleep;
that a-wake we may watch with Christ,
and a-sleep we may rest in peace.
