Evening Prayer - Tuesday July 26 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

Tuesday - 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.
Wor-ship the Lord in/the beau-ty 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 eve-ning sacri-fice.
I will bless the Lord who gives me coun-sel;
my heart teaches me, night after night.

I have set the Lord al-ways 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 68: 1-20; 24-36 Exsurgat Deus 

1Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; *

let those who hate him flee before him.

2Let them vanish like smoke when the wind drives it away; *

as the wax melts at the fire, so let the wicked perish at

the presence of God.

3But let the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; *

let them also be merry and joyful.

4Sing to God, sing praises to his Name;

exalt him who rides upon the heavens; *

YAHWEH is his Name, rejoice before him!

5Father of orphans, defender of widows, *

God in his holy habitation!

6God gives the solitary a home and brings forth prisoners

into freedom; *

but the rebels shall live in dry places.

7O God, when you went forth before your people, *

when you marched through the wilderness,

8The earth shook, and the skies poured down rain,

at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, *

at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9You sent a gracious rain, O God, upon your inheritance; *

you refreshed the land when it was weary.

10Your people found their home in it; *

in your goodness, O God, you have made provision

for the poor.

11The Lord gave the word; *

great was the company of women who bore the tidings:

12"Kings with their armies are fleeing away; *

the women at home are dividing the spoils."

13Though you lingered among the sheepfolds, *

you shall be like a dove whose wings are covered with silver,

whose feathers are like green gold.

14When the Almighty scattered kings, *

it was like snow falling in Zalmon.

15O mighty mountain, O hill of Bashan! *

O rugged mountain, O hill of Bashan!

16Why do you look with envy, O rugged mountain,

at the hill which God chose for his resting place? *

truly, the Lord will dwell there for ever.

17The chariots of God are twenty thousand,

even thousands of thousands; *

the Lord comes in holiness from Sinai.

18You have gone up on high and led captivity captive;

you have received gifts even from your enemies, *

that the Lord God might dwell among them.

19Blessed be the Lord day by day, *

the God of our salvation, who bears our burdens.

20He is our God, the God of our salvation; *

God is the Lord, by whom we escape death.

24They see your procession, O God, *

your procession into the sanctuary, my God and my King.

25The singers go before, musicians follow after, *

in the midst of maidens playing upon the hand-drums.

26Bless God in the congregation; *

bless the Lord, you that are of the fountain of Israel.

27There is Benjamin, least of the tribes, at the head;

the princes of Judah in a company; *

and the princes of Zebulon and Naphtali.

28Send forth your strength, O God; *

establish, O God, what you have wrought for us.

29Kings shall bring gifts to you, *

for your temple's sake at Jerusalem.

30Rebuke the wild beast of the reeds, *

and the peoples, a herd of wild bulls with its calves.

31Trample down those who lust after silver; *

scatter the peoples that delight in war.

32Let tribute be brought out of Egypt; *

let Ethiopia stretch out her hands to God.

33Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; *

sing praises to the Lord.

34He rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; *

he sends forth his voice, his mighty voice.

35Ascribe power to God; *

his majesty is over Israel;

his strength is in the skies.

36How wonderful is God in his holy places! *

the God of Israel giving strength and power to his people!

Blessed be God!

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.

The Gospel according to Matthew 27:32-44

32As they went out, they came upon a man from Cyrene named Simon; they compelled this man to carry his cross.

33And when they came to a place called Golgotha (which means Place of a Skull),34they offered him wine to drink, mixed with gall; but when he tasted it, he would not drink it. 35And when they had crucified him, they divided his clothes among themselves by casting lots;36then they sat down there and kept watch over him. 37Over his head they put the charge against him, which read, "This is Jesus, the King of the Jews." 

38Then two bandits were crucified with him, one on his right and one on his left. 39Those who passed by derided him, shaking their heads40and saying, "You who would destroy the temple and build it in three days, save yourself! If you are the Son of God, come down from the cross." 41In the same way the chief priests also, along with the scribes and elders, were mocking him, saying,42"He saved others; he cannot save himself. He is the King of Israel; let him come down from the cross now, and we will believe in him. 43He trusts in God; let God deliver him now, if he wants to; for he said, "I am God's Son.'" 44The bandits who were crucified with him also taunted him in the same way.

The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

The Song of Mary        Luke 1:46-55        Magnificat

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord, my spirit rejoices in God my Savior;*

for he has looked with favor on his lowly servant.

From this day all generations will call me blessed:*

the Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.

He has mercy on those who fear him*

in every generation.

He has shown the strength of his arm,*

he has scattered the proud in their conceit.

He has cast down the mighty from their thrones,*

and has lifted up the lowly.

He has filled the hungry with good things,*

and the rich he has sent away empty.

He has come to the help of his servant Israel,*

for he has remembered his promise of mercy,

The promise he made to our fathers,*

to Abraham and his children for ever.

The Lord be with you.
