Evening Prayer - Monday April 11 2022




Confession

Most merciful God,
we confess that we have sinned against you
in thought, word, and deed,
by what we have done,
and by what we have left undone.
We have not loved you with our whole heart;
we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.
We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ,
have mercy on us and forgive us;
that we may delight in your will,
and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your Name.

Amen

May Almighty God have mercy on us,
forgive us all our sins
through our Lord Jesus Christ,
strengthen us in all goodness,
and by the power of the Holy Spirit
keep us in eternal life.

Amen



Monday - Evensong Invitation


Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



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.


O Gracious Light

O gracious Light,
pure brightness of the
everliving Father in heaven.
O Jesus, Christ, holy and blessed!

Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,
we sing your praises, O God:
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

you are worthy at all times
to be praised by happy voices,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.



Psalm 69


Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



De-liver me, O God,
for the water has reached my neck.
I sink into the deep mire
where there is no sol-id ground;

I am in deep wat-er,
and the current over-pow-ers me.
I am ex-hausted from shout-ing for help;
my throat is sore; my eyes grow tired of looking for my God.

Those who hate me with-out cause
are more numer-ous than the hairs of my head.
Those who want to de-stroy me,
my ene-mies for no reason, out-number me.

They make me re-pay what/I did not steal!
O God, you are/a-ware of my foolish sins;
my guilt is not hidden from you.
Let none who re-ly on you be dis-graced be-cause of me,

O Sovereign Lord of Heaven’s Ar-my!
Let none who seek you be a-shamed
be-cause of me, O God of Isra-el!
For I suffer hu-mili-a-tion for your sake

and am thorough-ly dis-graced.
My own brothers treat me like a stran-ger;
they act as if/I were a foreign-er.
Certain-ly zeal for your house con-sumes me;

I en-dure the insults of those who in-sult you.
I weep and re-frain from eat-ing food,
which causes others to in-sult me.
I wear sack-cloth and they ridi-cule me.

Those who sit at/the cit-y gate gossip about me;
drunkards mock me in their song.
O Lord, may you hear my prayer
and be favor-ably dis-posed to me!

O God, be-cause of your great loyal love,
answer me with your faithful de-liver-ance!
Rescue me from/the mud! Don’t let me sink!
De-liver me from those who hate me, from/the deep wat-er!

Don’t let the current over-pow-er me!
Don’t let the deep swallow me up!
Don’t let the Pit de-vour me!
Answer me, O Lord, for your loyal love is good!

Be-cause/of your great com-passion, turn toward me!
Don't ig-nore your servant, for I am in trou-ble!
Answer me right a-way!
Come near me and re-deem me!

Be-cause/of my ene-my, rescue me!
You know how I am in-sult-ed,
hu-mili-at-ed and dis-graced;
you can see all my ene-mies.

Their in-sults are painful and make me lose heart;
I look for sympa-thy, but re-ceive none,
for comfort-ers, but find none.
They put bitter poi-son into my food,

and to quench my thirst they give me vine-gar to drink.
May their dining table be-come a trap be-fore them!
May it be a snare for that group of friends!
May their eyes be blind-ed!

Make them shake vio-lent-ly!
Pour out your judg-ment on them!
May your raging anger over-take them!
May their camp be-come deso-late, their tents un-in-habit-ed!

For they harass the one whom you disci-pline;
they spread the news a-bout the suffer-ing
of those whom you pun-ish.
Hold them ac-count-able for all their sins!

Do not vindi-cate them!
May their names be de-leted from/the scroll of/the liv-ing!
Do not let their names be listed with/the god-ly!
I am op-pressed and suffer-ing!

O God, de-liver and pro-tect me!
I will sing praises to God's name!
I will magni-fy him as I give him thanks!
That will please the Lord more than a bull with horns and hooves.

The op-pressed look on; let them re-joice!
You who seek God, may you be en-cour-aged!
For the Lord listens to/the need-y;
he does not de-spise his cap-tive peo-ple.

Let the heavens and the earth praise him,
a-long with/the seas and every-thing that swims in them!
For God will de-liver Zi-on
and re-build the cities of Ju-dah,

and his people will/a-gain live in them and pos-sess Zi-on.
The de-scendants of his servants will in-herit it,
and those who are loyal to him will live in it.
You who seek God, may you be en-cour-aged!

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 2 Corinthians 1:1-7


Paul, an apostle of Christ Jesus by the will of God, and Timothy our brother, To the church of God that is in Corinth, including all the saints throughout Achaia: Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.

Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of mercies and the God of all consolation, who consoles us in all our affliction, so that we may be able to console those who are in any affliction with the consolation with which we ourselves are consoled by God. For just as the sufferings of Christ are abundant for us, so also our consolation is abundant through Christ. If we are being afflicted, it is for your consolation and salvation; if we are being consoled, it is for your consolation, which you experience when you patiently endure the same sufferings that we are also suffering.

Our hope for you is unshaken; for we know that as you share in our sufferings, so also you share in our consolation.

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!



Monday - Song of Zechariah


Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Blessed be the Lord, the God of Isra-el;
he has come/to his people and set them free.
He has raised up for us a mighty sav-ior,
born of/the house of his servant Da-vid.

Through his holy prophets he promised of old,
that he would save/us from our ene-mies,
from/the hands of all who hate us.
He promised to show mercy to our fath-ers

and to re-member his holy cov-e-nant.
This was/the oath he swore to our father A-bra-ham,
to set us free from/the hands of our ene-mies,
Free to worship him without fear,

holy and righteous in his sight
all the days of our life.
And you, my child, shall be called
the proph-et of/the Most High,

for you will go/be-fore the Lord to/pre-pare his way,
To give his people knowledge of sal-va-tion
by the for-giveness of their sins.
In/the tender com-passion of our God

the dawn from/on high shall break up-on us,
To shine on those/who dwell in dark-ness
and in/the shadow of death,
and/to guide our feet into the way of peace.

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 11:12-25


On the following day, when they came from Bethany, he was hungry. Seeing in the distance a fig tree in leaf, he went to see whether perhaps he would find anything on it. When he came to it, he found nothing but leaves, for it was not the season for figs. He said to it, "May no one ever eat fruit from you again." And his disciples heard it.

Then they came to Jerusalem. And he entered the temple and began to drive out those who were selling and those who were buying in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money changers and the seats of those who sold doves; and he would not allow anyone to carry anything through the temple. He was teaching and saying, "Is it not written, 'My house shall be called a house of prayer for all the nations'?
But you have made it a den of robbers." And when the chief priests and the scribes heard it, they kept looking for a way to kill him; for they were afraid of him, because the whole crowd was spellbound by his teaching. And when evening came, Jesus and his disciples went out of the city.

In the morning as they passed by, they saw the fig tree withered away to its roots. Then Peter remembered and said to him, "Rabbi, look! The fig tree that you cursed has withered." Jesus answered them, "Have faith in God. Truly I tell you, if you say to this mountain, 'Be taken up and thrown into the sea,' and if you do not doubt in your heart, but believe that what you say will come to pass, it will be done for you. So I tell you, whatever you ask for in prayer, believe that you have received it, and it will be yours.

"Whenever you stand praying, forgive, if you have anything against anyone; so that your Father in heaven may also forgive you your trespasses."

Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!



Monday - Song to the Lamb


Tenor     Soprano     Response     Cantor     Bass     Alto     PDF     All     



Splendor and honor and king-ly power
are yours by right, O Lord our God,
For you cre-ated every-thing that is,
and by your will they were cre-ated and have their be-ing;

And yours by right, O Lamb that was slain,
for with your blood you have re-deemed for God,
From eve-ry fami-ly, lan-guage, people, and na-tion,
a kingdom of priests to serve our God.

And so, to him who sits up-on/the throne,
and to Je-sus Christ the Lamb,
Be worship and praise, do-min-ion and splen-dor,
for-ever and for-ever-more.

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.

Almighty God, Lord of heaven and earth: We humbly pray that your gracious providence may give and preserve to our use the harvests of the land and of the seas, and may prosper all who labor to gather them, that we, who are constantly receiving good things from your hand, may always give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

Amen.

A Collect for Peace

Most holy God, the source of all good desires, all right judgements, and all just works: Give to us, your servants, that peace which the world cannot give, so that our minds may be fixed on the doing of your will, and that we, being delivered from the fear of all enemies, may live in peace and quietness; through the mercies of Christ Jesus our Savior.

Amen.

We pray for peace and especially for the people of Ukraine, saying together,

Eternal God, in whose perfect kingdom
no sword is drawn but the sword of righteousness,
no strength known but the strength of love:
So mightily spread abroad your Spirit,
that all peoples may be gathered under the banner of the Prince of Peace,
as children of one Father;
to whom be dominion and glory, now and for ever. Amen.
