Invitation

Wednesday - Easter Invitation

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Alle-lu-ia! Christ is ris-en.
The Lord is risen in-deed. Alle-lu-ia!
O give thanks to/the Lord, and call up-on his Name;
make known his deeds a-mong the peo-ples.

Thus says the high and lofty One
who in-habits e-terni-ty,
whose name is Ho-ly,
I dwell in/the high and holy place

and al-so with/the one who has a con-trite and hum-ble spi-rit,
to re-vive the spirit of/the hum-ble and the heart of/the con-trite.
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 - Christ Our Passover

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Alle-lu-ia! Christ our Pass-over has been sacri-ficed for us;
there-fore let us keep the feast,
Not with old leaven, the leaven of mal-ice and e-vil,
but with/the un-leavened bread of sin-ceri-ty and truth. Alle-lu-ia!

Christ being raised from/the dead will never die a-gain;
death no longer has do-minion over him.
The death he died, he died to sin, once for all;
but the life he lives, he lives to God.

So al-so con-sider your-selves dead to sin,
and a-live to God in Je-sus Christ our Lord. Alle-lu-ia!
Christ has been raised from/the dead,
the first fruits of those who have fallen a-sleep.

For since by a man came death,
by a man has come al-so the resur-rec-tion of/the dead.
For as in A-dam all die,
so in Christ shall all be made a-live. Alle-lu-ia!

Psalms

Psalm 101

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



I will sing/a-bout loyal-ty and jus-tice!
To you, O Lord, I will sing prais-es!
I will walk in/the way of in-tegri-ty.
When will you come to me?

I will con-duct my business with in-tegri-ty
in the midst of my pal-ace.
I will not even con-sider doing what is dis-hon-est.
I hate doing e-vil; I will have no part of it.

I will have nothing to do with a per-verse per-son;
I will not per-mit e-vil.
I will de-stroy any-one who slanders his neighbor in se-cret.
I will not toler-ate any-one who has a haughty de-mean-or

I will not toler-ate an arro-gant atti-tude.
I will favor the honest people of/the land,
and al-low them to live with me.
Those who walk in/the way of in-tegri-ty will at-tend me.

De-ceitful people will not live in my pal-ace.
Liars will not be welcome in my pres-ence.
Each morning I will de-stroy all/the wicked people in/the land,
and re-move all evil-do-ers from/the ci-ty of/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.

Psalm 109

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



O God whom I praise, do not ig-nore me!
For they say cruel and de-ceptive things to me; they lie to me.
They sur-round me and say hateful things;
they at-tack me for no rea-son.

They re-pay my love with accu-sa-tion, but I con-tinue to pray.
They re-pay me evil for good, and hate for love.
Ap-point an evil man to testi-fy a-gainst him!
May an ac-cuser stand at his right side!

When he is judged, he will be found guilt-y!
Then his prayer will be re-garded as sin-ful.
May his days be few!
May an-other take his job!

May his children be father-less, and his wife a wid-ow!
May his children roam/a-round beg-ging,
asking for handouts as they leave their ruined home!
May the credi-tor seize all he owns!

May strangers loot his proper-ty!
May no one show him kind-ness!
May no one have com-passion on his father-less chil-dren!
May his de-scendants be cut off!

May the memo-ry of them be wiped out
by the time the next gener-ation ar-rives!
May his an-cestors' sins be re-membered by/the Lord!
May his mother's sin not be for-got-ten!

May the Lord be constant-ly a-ware of them,
and cut off the memo-ry of his children from/the earth!
For he never bothered to show kind-ness;
he har-assed the op-pressed and need-y,

and killed the dis-heart-ened.
He loved to curse oth-ers,
so those curses have come up-on him.
He had no de-sire to bless any-one,

so he has ex-peri-enced no bles-sing.
He made cursing a way of life,
so curses poured into his stomach like wa-ter
Curses seeped into his bones like oil.

May a curse at-tach it-self to him,
like/a garment one puts on, or/a belt one wears con-tinual-ly!
May the Lord re-pay my ac-cusers in this way,
those who say evil things/a-bout me!

O sovereign Lord, inter-vene on my be-half
for the sake of your repu-ta-tion!
Be-cause your loyal love is good, de-liver me!
For I am op-pressed and need-y,

and my heart beats vio-lent-ly with-in me.
I am fading a-way like/a shadow at/the end of/the day;
I am shaken off like/a lo-cust.
I am so starved my knees shake;

I have turned into skin and bones.
I am dis-dained by them.
When they see me, they shake their heads.
Help me, O Lord my God!

Be-cause you are faithful to me, de-liver me!
Then they will real-ize this is your work,
and that you, Lord, have ac-complished it.
They curse, but you will bless.

When they at-tack, they will be hu-mili-at-ed,
but your serv-ant will re-joice.
My ac-cusers will be covered with shame,
and draped in hu-mili-ation as if/it were a robe.

I will thank the Lord pro-fuse-ly,
in the middle of/a crowd I will praise him,
be-cause he stands at/the right hand of/the need-y,
to de-liver him from those who threaten his life.

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 Isaiah 4:2-6

On that day the branch of the LORD shall be beautiful and glorious, and the fruit of the land shall be the pride and glory of the survivors of Israel. Whoever is left in Zion and remains in Jerusalem will be called holy, everyone who has been recorded for life in Jerusalem, once the Lord has washed away the filth of the daughters of Zion and cleansed the bloodstains of Jerusalem from its midst by a spirit of judgment and by a spirit of burning. Then the LORD will create over the whole site of Mount Zion and over its places of assembly a cloud by day and smoke and the shining of a flaming fire by night. Indeed over all the glory there will be a canopy. It will serve as a pavilion, a shade by day from the heat, and a refuge and a shelter from the storm and rain.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Wednesday - 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 ho-ly 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.

A reading from Matthew 8:28-34

When he came to the other side, to the country of the Gadarenes, two demoniacs coming out of the tombs met him. They were so fierce that no one could pass that way. Suddenly they shouted, "What have you to do with us, Son of God? Have you come here to torment us before the time?" Now a large herd of swine was feeding at some distance from them. The demons begged him, "If you cast us out, send us into the herd of swine." And he said to them, "Go!" So they came out and entered the swine; and suddenly, the whole herd rushed down the steep bank into the sea and perished in the water. The swineherds ran off, and on going into the town, they told the whole story about what had happened to the demoniacs. Then the whole town came out to meet Jesus; and when they saw him, they begged him to leave their neighborhood.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

Wednesday - Song of Moses

Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



I will sing to/the Lord,
for he is lofty and up-lift-ed;
the horse and its rid-er
has he hurled into the sea.

The Lord is my strength and my ref-uge;
the Lord has be-come my Sav-ior.
This is my God and I will praise him,
the God of my people and I will ex-alt him.

The Lord is a mighty warri-or;
Yah-weh is his holy Name.
The chari-ots of Phar-oah and his ar-my
has he hurled into the sea;

The finest of those who bear ar-mor
have been drowned in/the Red Sea.
The fathom-less deep has over-whelmed them;
they sank into the depths like a stone.

Your right hand, O Lord,
is glori-ous and might-y;
your right hand, O Lord,
has over-thrown the ene-my.

Who can be com-pared with you,
O Lord, a-mong the gods?
who is like you,
glori-ous in ho-li-ness,

Awe-some in re-nown,
and work-er of won-ders?
You stretched forth your right hand;
the earth swal-lowed them up.

With your con-stant love
you led the people you re-deemed;
with your might you brought them in safe-ty
to your holy dwell-ing place.

You will bring them in and plant them
on the mount of your pos-ses-sion,
In/the rest-ing place
you have made for your-self, O Lord,

In/the sanctu-ary, O Lord,
that your hand has es-tab-lished.
The Lord shall reign
for ever and for ever. A-men!

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.
