Invitation

Saturday - Lent Invitation

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



If/we say we have no sin, we/de-ceive our-selves,
and the truth is not in us;
but if/we con-fess our sins, God who is faithful and just,
will for-give and cleanse us from all un-righteous-ness.

Rend your hearts and not your gar-ments.
Re-turn to/the Lord your God,
for he is gracious and merci-ful, slow to an-ger
and a-bounding in steadfast love, and re-pents of e-vil.

I will rise and go/to my fa-ther,
and say/to him, Father, I have sinned
a-gainst heaven, and be-fore you;
I am no longer worthy to be called your son.

To the Lord be-long mercy and for-give-ness,
be-cause we have re-belled/a-gainst him
and have not/o-beyed the voice of/the Lord
by follow-ing his laws which he set/be-fore us.

Je-sus said, If any-one will come after me,
let him de-ny him-self, take up his cross, and follow me.
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 55

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Listen, O God, to my prayer!
Don't ig-nore my ap-peal for mer-cy!
Pay at-tention to me and an-swer me!
I am so up-set and dis-tressed,

I am be-side my-self,
be-cause/of what the ene-my says,
and be-cause/of how the wicked pressure me,
for they hurl trou-ble down up-on me

and angri-ly at-tack me.
My heart beats vio-lent-ly with-in me;
the horrors of death over-come me.
Fear and panic over-power me;

Terror over-whelms me.
I say, I wish I had wings like/a dove!
I would fly/a-way and settle in a safe place!
Look, I will es-cape to a distant place;

I will stay in/the wilder-ness.
I will hurry off to/a place that/is safe
from the strong wind and/the gale.
Con-fuse them, O Lord! Frus-trate their plan!

For I see vio-lence and con-flict in/the cit-y.
Day and night they walk/a-round on its walls,
while wicked-ness and de-struction are with-in it.
Dis-aster is with-in it;

Vio-lence and de-ceit don't de-part from its public square.
In-deed, it is not an ene-my who in-sults me,
or else I could bear it;
it isn't one who hates me who arro-gantly taunts me,

or else I could hide from him.
But it is you, a man like me,
my close friend in whom I con-fid-ed.
We would share person-al thoughts with each oth-er;

In God's temple we would walk/to-gether a-mong the crowd.
May death de-stroy them! May they go down/a-live into She-ol!
For evil is in their dwelling place and in their midst.
As/for me, I will call out/to God,

and the Lord will de-liver me.
During the evening, morning, and noon-time
I will la-ment and moan, and he will hear me.
He will res-cue me and pro-tect me from those/who at-tack me,

Even though they greatly out-number me.
God, the one who/has reigned as king from long/a-go,
will hear and hu-mili-ate them.
They re-fuse to change, and do/not fear God.

He at-tacks his friends;
he breaks his solemn promis-es to them.
His words are as smooth as but-ter,
but he harbors ani-mosi-ty in his heart.

His words seem softer than oil,
but they are really like sharp swords.
Throw your burden up-on the Lord,
and he will sus-tain you.

He will never al-low the godly to be shak-en.
But you, O God, will bring them down to/the deep Pit.
Vio-lent and de-ceitful people will not live even half/a normal life span.
But as/for me, I trust in you.

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 41:1-13

After two whole years, Pharaoh dreamed that he was standing by the Nile, and there came up out of the Nile seven sleek and fat cows, and they grazed in the reed grass. Then seven other cows, ugly and thin, came up out of the Nile after them, and stood by the other cows on the bank of the Nile. The ugly and thin cows ate up the seven sleek and fat cows. And Pharaoh awoke. Then he fell asleep and dreamed a second time; seven ears of grain, plump and good, were growing on one stalk. Then seven ears, thin and blighted by the east wind, sprouted after them. The thin ears swallowed up the seven plump and full ears. Pharaoh awoke, and it was a dream. In the morning his spirit was troubled; so he sent and called for all the magicians of Egypt and all its wise men. Pharaoh told them his dreams, but there was no one who could interpret them to Pharaoh.

Then the chief cupbearer said to Pharaoh, "I remember my faults today. Once Pharaoh was angry with his servants, and put me and the chief baker in custody in the house of the captain of the guard. We dreamed on the same night, he and I, each having a dream with its own meaning. A young Hebrew was there with us, a servant of the captain of the guard. When we told him, he interpreted our dreams to us, giving an interpretation to each according to his dream. As he interpreted to us, so it turned out; I was restored to my office, and the baker was hanged."

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Saturday - Third Song of Isaiah

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



A-rise, shine, for your light has come,
and the glory of/the Lord has dawned up-on you.
For/be-hold, darkness covers the land;
deep gloom en-shrouds the peo-ples.

But over you the Lord will rise,
and his glory will/ap-pear up-on you.
Nations will stream to your light,
and kings to/the brightness of your dawn-ing.

Your gates will always be o-pen;
by day or night they will never be shut.
They will call you, The City of/the Lord,
The Zion of/the Holy One of Is-ra-el.

Vio-lence will/no more be heard in your land,
ruin or de-struction with-in your bor-ders.
You will call your walls, Sal-va-tion,
and all your por-tals, Praise.

The sun will/no more be your light by day;
by night you will/not need the brightness of/the moon.
The Lord will be your ever-last-ing light,
and your God will be your glo-ry.

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 Mark 2:23-3:6

One sabbath he was going through the grainfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, "Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?" And he said to them, "Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions." Then he said to them, "The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath."

Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, "Come forward." Then he said to them, "Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?" But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, "Stretch out your hand." He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

You, Christ, are/the king of glo-ry,
the e-ternal Son of/the Fath-er.
When you be-came man/to set us free
you did not shun the Virgin's womb.

You over-came the sting of death
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all be-liev-ers.
You are seated at God's right hand in glo-ry.
We/be-lieve that you will come and be our judge.

Come then, Lord, and help your peo-ple,
bought with/the price of your own blood,
and bring us with all your saints
to glory ever-lasting. A-men.
