Pentecost - Tuesday Invitation
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
The Lord is in his ho-ly tem-ple;
let all the earth keep si-lence be-fore him
I was glad when they said to me,
Let us go to the house of the Lord.
Let the words of my mouth
and the med-i-ta-tion of my heart
be ac-cep-ta-ble in your sight, O Lord,
my strength and my re-deem-er.
Thus says the high and loft-y One
who in-hab-its e-ter-ni-ty,
whose name is Ho-ly,
I dwell in the high and ho-ly place
Send out your light
and your truth, that they may lead me,
and bring me to your ho-ly hill
and to your dwel-ling place.
Give thanks to the Lord, and call up-on his Name;
make known his deeds a-mong the peo-ples.
Lord, o-pen our lips.
And our mouth shall pro-claim your praise.
Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.
Tuesday - Venite
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
Come, let us sing to the Lord;
let us shout for joy to the Rock of our sal-va-tion.
Let us come be-fore his pres-ence with thanks-giv-ing
and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King a-bove all gods.
In his hand are the cav-erns of the earth,
and the heights of the hills are his al-so.
The sea is his, for he made it,
and his hands have mold-ed the dry land.
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee,
and kneel be-fore the Lord our Mak-er.
For he is our God,
and we are the peo-ple of his pas-ture
and the sheep of his hand.
Oh, that to-day you would heark-en to his voice!
Psalms
Psalm 26
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
Vin-di-cate me, O Lord, for I have in-teg-ri-ty,
and I trust in the Lord with-out wav-er-ing.
Ex-am-ine me, O Lord, and test me!
E-val-u-ate my in-ner thoughts and mo-tives!
For I am ev-er a-ware of your faith-ful-ness,
and your loy-al-ty con-tin-ual-ly mo-ti-vates me.
I do not as-so-ci-ate with de-ceit-ful men,
or con-sort with those who are dis-hon-est.
I hate the mob of e-vil men,
and do not as-so-ci-ate with the wick-ed.
I main-tain a pure life-style,
so I can ap-pear be-fore your al-tar, O Lord,
to give you thanks,
and to tell a-bout all your a-maz-ing deeds.
O Lord, I love the tem-ple where you live,
the place where your splen-dor is re-vealed.
Do not sweep me a-way with sin-ner,
or ex-e-cute me a-long with vio-lent peo-ple,
who are al-ways read-y to do wrong or of-fer a bribe.
But I have in-teg-ri-ty!
Res-cue me and have mer-cy on me!
I am safe, and a-mong the wor-ship-ers
I will praise the Lord.
and bless his name for-ev-er
Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.
Psalm 28
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
To you, O Lord, I cry out!
My pro-tec-tor, do not ig-nore me!
If you do not re-spond to me,
I will join those who are de-scend-ing into the grave.
Hear my plea for mer-cy
when I cry out to you for help,
when I lift my hands toward your ho-ly tem-ple!
Do not drag me a-way with e-vil men,
Or with those who be-have wick-ed-ly,
who talk so friend-ly to their neigh-bor,
while they plan to harm them!
Pay them back for their e-vil deeds!
Pay them back for what they do! Pun-ish them!
For they do not un-der-stand the Lord's ac-tions,
or the way he car-ries out jus-tice.
The Lord will per-ma-nent-ly de-mol-ish them.
The Lord de-serves my praise,
For he has heard my plea for mer-cy!
The Lord strength-ens and pro-tects me;
I trust in him with all my heart.
I am res-cued and my heart is full of joy;
I will sing to him in grat-i-tude.
The Lord strength-ens his peo-ple;
he pro-tects and de-liv-ers his cho-sen king.
De-liv-er your peo-ple, O God!
Em-pow-er the na-tions that be-longs to you!
Care for them like a shep-herd
and car-ry them in your arms at all times!
Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.
Readings
A reading from Job 12:1; 13:3-17, 21-27
Then Job answered:
But I wish to speak to the Almighty,
and I desire to argue my case with God.
But you, however, are inventors of lies;
all of you are worthless physicians!
If only you would keep completely silent!
For you, that would be wisdom.
“Listen now to my argument,
and be attentive to my lips’ contentions.
Will you speak wickedly on God’s behalf?
Will you speak deceitfully for him?
Will you show him partiality?
Will you argue the case for God?
Would it turn out well if he would examine you?
Or as one deceives a man would you deceive him?
He would certainly rebuke you
if you secretly showed partiality!
Would not his splendor terrify you
and the fear he inspires fall on you?
Your maxims are proverbs of ashes;
your defenses are defenses of clay.
“Refrain from talking with me so that I may speak;
then let come to me what may.
Why do I put myself in peril,
and take my life in my hands?
Even if he slays me, I will hope in him;
I will surely defend my ways to his face!
Moreover, this will become my deliverance,
for no godless person would come before him.
Listen carefully to my words;
let your ears be attentive to my explanation.
Remove your hand far from me
and stop making me afraid with your terror.
Then call, and I will answer,
or I will speak, and you respond to me.
How many are my iniquities and sins?
Show me my transgression and my sin.
Why do you hide your face
and regard me as your enemy?
Do you wish to torment a windblown leaf
and chase after dry chaff?
For you write down bitter things against me
and cause me to inherit the sins of my youth.
And you put my feet in the stocks
and you watch all my movements;
you put marks on the soles of my feet.
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
Tuesday - Song of the Redeemed
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
O rul-er of the u-ni-verse, Lord God,
great deeds are they that you have done,
sur-pas-sing hu-man un-der-stand-ing.
Your ways are ways of right-eous-ness and truth,
O King of all the ages.
Who can fail to do you hom-age, Lord,
and sing the prais-es of your Name?
for you on-ly are the Ho-ly One.
All na-tions will draw near
and fall down be-fore you,
be-cause your just and ho-ly works
have been re-vealed. Al-le-lu-ia, a-men!
Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.
A reading from Acts 12:1-17
About that time King Herod laid hands on some from the church to harm them. He had James, the brother of John, executed with a sword. When he saw that this pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter too. (This took place during the feast of Unleavened Bread.) When he had seized him, he put him in prison, handing him over to four squads of soldiers to guard him. Herod planned to bring him out for public trial after the Passover. So Peter was kept in prison, but those in the church were earnestly praying to God for him. On that very night before Herod was going to bring him out for trial, Peter was sleeping between two soldiers, bound with two chains, while guards in front of the door were keeping watch over the prison. Suddenly an angel of the Lord appeared, and a light shone in the prison cell. He struck Peter on the side and woke him up, saying, “Get up quickly!” And the chains fell off Peter’s wrists. The angel said to him, “Fasten your belt and put on your sandals.” Peter did so. Then the angel said to him, “Put on your cloak and follow me.” Peter went out and followed him; he did not realize that what was happening through the angel was real, but thought he was seeing a vision. After they had passed the first and second guards, they came to the iron gate leading into the city. It opened for them by itself, and they went outside and walked down one narrow street, when at once the angel left him. When Peter came to himself, he said, “Now I know for certain that the Lord has sent his angel and rescued me from the hand of Herod and from everything the Jewish people were expecting to happen.”
When Peter realized this, he went to the house of Mary, the mother of John Mark, where many people had gathered together and were praying. When he knocked at the door of the outer gate, a slave girl named Rhoda answered. When she recognized Peter’s voice, she was so overjoyed she did not open the gate, but ran back in and told them that Peter was standing at the gate. But they said to her, “You’ve lost your mind!” But she kept insisting that it was Peter, and they kept saying, “It is his angel!” Now Peter continued knocking, and when they opened the door and saw him, they were greatly astonished. He motioned to them with his hand to be quiet and then related how the Lord had brought him out of the prison. He said, “Tell James and the brothers these things,” and then he left and went to another place.
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
Tuesday - Song of Zechariah
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
Bless-ed be the Lord, the God of Is-ra-el;
he has come to his peo-ple and set them free.
He has raised up for us a might-y sav-ior,
born of the house of his serv-ant Da-vid.
Through his ho-ly proph-ets he prom-ised of old,
that he would save us from our en-e-mies,
from the hands of all who hate us.
He prom-ised to show mer-cy to our fath-ers
and to re-mem-ber his ho-ly cov-e-nant.
This was the oath he swore to our fath-er A-bra-ham,
to set us free from the hands of our en-e-mies,
Free to wor-ship him with-out fear,
ho-ly and right-eous 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 peo-ple knowl-edge of sal-va-tion
by the for-give-ness of their sins.
In the ten-der com-pas-sion of our God
the dawn from on high shall break up-on us,
To shine on those who dwell in dark-ness
and the shad-ow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glo-ry to the Fath-er, and to the Son,
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit:
as it was in the be-gin-ning, is now,
and will be for ev-er. A-men.
Prayers
Tuesday Creed
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
We be-lieve in God, the Fath-er al-might-y,
cre-a-tor of heav-en and earth.
We be-lieve in Je-sus Christ,
his on-ly son, our Lord.
He was con-ceived by the pow-er of the Ho-ly Spi-rit
and born of the Vir-gin Ma-ry.
He suf-fered un-der Pon-tius Pi-late,
was cru-ci-fied, died, and was bur-ied.
He de-scend-ed to the dead.
On the third day he rose a-gain.
He a-scend-ed into heav-en,
and is seat-ed at the right hand of the Fath-er.
He will come a-gain
to judge the liv-ing and the dead.
We be-lieve in the Ho-ly Spi-rit,
the ho-ly cath-o-lic Church,
the com-mun-ion of saints,
the for-give-ness of sins,
the res-ur-rec-tion of the bod-y,
and the life ev-er-last-ing. A-men.

Collect of the Day
Almighty God, whose Son Jesus Christ in his earthly life shared our toil and hallowed our labor: Be present with your people where they work; make those who carry on the industries and commerce of this land responsive to your will; and give to us all a pride in what we do, and a just return for our labor; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

A Collect for Peace
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life and to serve you is perfect freedom: Defend us, your humble servants, in all assaults of our enemies; that we, surely trusting in your defense, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Prayer for Mission
Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name.
Amen.
