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 35
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
O Lord, fight those/who fight with me!
At-tack those/who at-tack me!
Grab your small shield/and large shield,
and rise up to help me!
Use your spear and lance
a-gainst those who chase me!
As-sure/me with these words:
I am your de-liver-er!
May those/who seek my life
be/em-barrassed and hu-mili-at-ed!
May those/who plan/to harm me
be turned back and a-shamed!
May they/be like wind driven chaff,
as/the Lord's angel at-tacks them!
May their path be dark and slipper-y,
as the Lord's angel chases them!
I did not harm them,
but they hid/a net/to catch me
and dug/a pit/to trap me.
Let de-struction take/them by sur-prise!
Let/the net they hid catch them!
Let them fall into de-struc-tion!
Then I will/re-joice in/the Lord
and be happy be-cause/of his de-liver-ance.
With all my strength I/will say,
O Lord, who can/com-pare to you?
You res-cue the op-pressed
from those/who try/to over-pow-er them;
the/op-pressed and need-y
from those/who try to rob them.
Vio-lent men perjure them-selves,
and false-ly ac-cuse me.
They/re-pay me evil for/the good I/have done;
I am over-whelmed with sor-row.
When they/were sick, I wore sack-cloth,
and/re-frained from eat-ing food.
If I am ly-ing,
may my prayers go un-an-swered!
I mourned for them
as I would for/a friend or/my broth-er.
I bowed down in sor-row
as/if I were mourning for/my moth-er.
But when/I stum-bled,
they/re-joiced and gathered to-geth-er;
they gathered to-gether to am-bush me.
They tore/at me without stopping to rest.
When I stum-bled,
they taunted me re-lentless-ly,
and tried to bite me.
O Lord, how long/are you going to watch this?
Res-cue me from their de-structive at-tacks;
guard my life from/the young li-ons!
Then I/will give/you thanks in/the great/as-sem-bly;
I/will praise you/be-fore/a large crowd of peo-ple!
Don't let/my ene-mies gloat over me!
Don't let those/who hate me carry out their schemes!
For/they don't try/to make peace with oth-ers,
but plan ways to de-ceive
those/who live peaceful-ly in/the land.
They are ready to de-vour me;
they say, A-ha! Aha! We've got you!
But you take notice, Lord; don't be si-lent!
O Lord, don't re-main far/a-way from me!
Rouse/your-self, wake up and vindi-cate me!
My God and Lord, de-fend my just cause!
Vindi-cate me by your justice, O Lord my God!
Don't let them gloat over me!
Don't let/them say/to them-selves, A-ha!
We have what we want-ed!
Don't let/them say, We have de-voured him!
May those who/re-joice in/my trou-bles
be total-ly em-barrassed and a-shamed!
May those/who arro-gantly taunt me be covered with shame
May those/who de-sire my vindi-ca-tion
shout for joy and/re-joice!
May they con-tinual-ly say, May/the Lord be praised,
for/he wants his servant to be se-cure.
Then I/will tell others a-bout your jus-tice,
and praise you all day long.
May/the Lord be praised 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.
Readings
A reading from 1 Corinthians 14:1-19
Pursue love and strive for the spiritual gifts, and especially that you may prophesy. For those who speak in a tongue do not speak to other people but to God; for nobody understands them, since they are speaking mysteries in the Spirit. On the other hand, those who prophesy speak to other people for their upbuilding and encouragement and consolation. Those who speak in a tongue build up themselves, but those who prophesy build up the church. Now I would like all of you to speak in tongues, but even more to prophesy. One who prophesies is greater than one who speaks in tongues, unless someone interprets, so that the church may be built up.
Now, brothers and sisters, if I come to you speaking in tongues, how will I benefit you unless I speak to you in some revelation or knowledge or prophecy or teaching? It is the same way with lifeless instruments that produce sound, such as the flute or the harp. If they do not give distinct notes, how will anyone know what is being played? And if the bugle gives an indistinct sound, who will get ready for battle? So with yourselves; if in a tongue you utter speech that is not intelligible, how will anyone know what is being said? For you will be speaking into the air. There are doubtless many different kinds of sounds in the world, and nothing is without sound. If then I do not know the meaning of a sound, I will be a foreigner to the speaker and the speaker a foreigner to me. So with yourselves; since you are eager for spiritual gifts, strive to excel in them for building up the church. Therefore, one who speaks in a tongue should pray for the power to interpret. For if I pray in a tongue, my spirit prays but my mind is unproductive.
What should I do then? I will pray with the spirit, but I will pray with the mind also; I will sing praise with the spirit, but I will sing praise with the mind also. Otherwise, if you say a blessing with the spirit, how can anyone in the position of an outsider say the "Amen" to your thanksgiving, since the outsider does not know what you are saying? For you may give thanks well enough, but the other person is not built up. I thank God that I speak in tongues more than all of you; nevertheless, in church I would rather speak five words with my mind, in order to instruct others also, than ten thousand words in a tongue.
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.
A reading from Mark 9:30-41
They went on from there and passed through Galilee. He did not want anyone to know it; for he was teaching his disciples, saying to them, "The Son of Man is to be betrayed into human hands, and they will kill him, and three days after being killed, he will rise again." But they did not understand what he was saying and were afraid to ask him.
Then they came to Capernaum; and when he was in the house he asked them, "What were you arguing about on the way?" But they were silent, for on the way they had argued with one another who was the greatest. He sat down, called the twelve, and said to them, "Whoever wants to be first must be last of all and servant of all." Then he took a little child and put it among them; and taking it in his arms, he said to them, "Whoever welcomes one such child in my name welcomes me, and whoever welcomes me welcomes not me but the one who sent me."
John said to him, "Teacher, we saw someone casting out demons in your name, and we tried to stop him, because he was not following us." But Jesus said, "Do not stop him; for no one who does a deed of power in my name will be able soon afterward to speak evil of me. Whoever is not against us is for us. For truly I tell you, whoever gives you a cup of water to drink because you bear the name of Christ will by no means lose the reward.
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
Monday - Third Song of Isaiah

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.
