Grace to you and peace from God our Fa-ther
and from/the Lord Je-sus Christ.
Worship the Lord in/the beauty of his holi-ness;
let/the whole earth trem-ble be-fore him.

Let my prayer be set forth/in your sight as in-cense,
the lifting up/of my hands as/the evening sacri-fice.
I will bless the Lord who gives/me coun-sel;
my heart teaches me, night after night.

I have set/the Lord always be-fore me;
be-cause he is/at my right hand, I shall not fall.
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.

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



O gracious light, pure bright-ness
of the ever-living Father in heav-en,
O Je-sus Christ, holy and bless-ed!
we sing your praises, O God!

Now as/we come to/the setting of/the sun,
and our eyes be-hold/the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God:
Father, Son, and Ho-ly Spi-rit.

You are worthy at all times
to be praised by happy voic-es,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and/to be glori-fied through all the worlds.

Psalms

Psalm 146

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     





Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord, O my soul!
I will praise the Lord as long/as I live!
I will sing praises to my God as long/as I ex-ist!
Do/not trust in princes, or/in man kind, who can-not de-liv-er!

Their life's breath de-parts,
they re-turn to/the ground; on/that day their plans die.
How blessed is the one whose helper is the God of Ja-cob,
whose hope is in/the Lord his God,

the one who made heaven and earth,
the seas, and all that is in them,
who re-mains for-ever faith-ful,
and vindi-cates the op-pressed,

The Lord gives food to/the hun-gry.
The Lord re-leases the im-pris-oned.
The Lord gives sight to/the blind.
The Lord lifts up all who are bent o-ver.

The Lord loves the god-ly.
The Lord pro-tects the resi-dent foreign-er;
he lifts up the father-less
and cares _ for/the wid-ow,

But he op-poses the wick-ed.
The Lord rules for-ever, your God, O Zi-on,
through-out the gener-a-tions to come!
Praise the Lord for-ev-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.

Psalm 147

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     




Praise the Lord, for it/is good
to sing praises to our God!
Yes, praise is pleasant and ap-propri-ate!
The Lord re-builds Je-rusa-lem,

And gathers the ex-iles of Isra-el.
He heals the broken-heart-ed,
and banda-ges their wounds.
He counts the stars and names them all.

Our Lord is great and has awesome power;
there is no limit to his wis-dom.
The Lord lifts up the op-pressed,
but knocks the wicked to/the ground.

Offer to/the Lord a song of thanks!
Sing praises to our God to/the ac-compan-iment of/a harp!
He covers the sky with clouds,
He pro-vides the earth with rain,

And causes grass to grow on/the hill-side.
He gives food to/the ani-mals,
and to/the young ravens when they chirp.
He is not en-amored with/the strength of/a horse,

Nor/is he im-pressed by/the warri-or's strong legs.
The Lord takes de-light in his faithful follow-ers,
and/in those who wait for his loyal love.
Ex-tol the Lord, O Je-rusa-lem! Praise your God, O Zi-on!

For he makes/the bars of your gates strong.
He blesses your children with-in you.
He brings peace to your terri-to-ry.
He a-bundant-ly pro-vides for you the best grain.

He sends his com-mand through/the earth;
swiftly his order reaches its desti-na-tion.
He sends the snow that/is white like wool;
He spreads the frost that/is white like ash-es.

He throws his hail-stones like crumbs.
Who can/with-stand the cold wind he sends?
He then orders it all to melt;
He breathes on it, and/the water flows.

He pro-claims his word to Ja-cob,
his statutes and regu-lations to Isra-el.
He has/not done so with any other na-tion;
they are not/a-ware of his regu-lations. Praise the Lord!

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 Zechariah 2:10-13

Sing and rejoice, O daughter Zion! For lo, I will come and dwell in your midst, says the LORD. Many nations shall join themselves to the LORD on that day, and shall be my people; and I will dwell in your midst. And you shall know that the LORD of hosts has sent me to you. The LORD will inherit Judah as his portion in the holy land, and will again choose Jerusalem. Be silent, all people, before the LORD; for he has roused himself from his holy dwelling.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Tuesday - Second Song of Isaiah

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Seek/the Lord while he wills to/be found;
call/up-on him when he draws near.
Let/the wicked for-sake their ways
and the evil ones their thoughts;

And let them turn to/the Lord,
and he will have com-pas-sion,
Let them/re-turn/to our God,
for he will richly par-don.

For my thoughts are/not your thoughts,
nor your ways my ways, says/the Lord.
For as/the heavens are higher than the earth,
so/are my ways higher than your ways,

and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For/as rain and snow fall from/the heav-ens
and re-turn not/a-gain,
but wat-er the whole earth,

Bring-ing forth life
and giving a-bun-dant growth
And seed for re-plan-ting
and bread/and fruit for eat-ing,

So/is my word that goes forth from my mouth;
it will not/re-turn/to me emp-ty;
But/it will ac-complish that which I have pur-posed,
and prosper in that for which I sent it.

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 3:25-30

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."

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
