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 teach-es 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.
Sunday - O Gracious Light
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
O gra-cious light, pure bright-ness
of the ever-liv-ing Fath-er in heav-en,
O Je-sus Christ, ho-ly and bless-ed!
we sing your prais-es, O God!
Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes be-hold the ves-per light,
we sing your prais-es, O God:
Fath-er, Son, and Ho-ly Spi-rit.
You are worthy at all times
to be praised by happy voic-es,
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glori-fied through all the worlds.
Psalms
Psalm 8
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
O Lord, our Lord, how mag-nif-i-cent
is your rep-u-ta-tion through-out the earth!
You re-veal your maj-es-ty in the heav-ens a-bove!
From the mouths of chil-dren and nurs-ing ba-bies
You have or-dained praise on ac-count of your ad-ver-sar-ies,
so that you might put an end to the vin-dic-tive en-e-my.
When I look up at the heav-ens, which your fin-gers made,
and see the moon and the stars, which you set in place,
Of what im-por-tance is the hu-man race,
that you should no-tice them?
Of what im-por-tance is man-kind,
that you should pay at-ten-tion to them?
You made them a lit-tle less than the heav-en-ly be-ings.
You crowned man-kind with hon-or and maj-es-ty.
you ap-point them to rule o-ver your cre-a-tion;
you have placed eve-ry-thing un-der their au-thor-i-ty,
in-clud-ing all the sheep and cat-tle,
as well as the wild an-i-mals,
the birds in the sky, the fish in the sea
and eve-ry-thing that moves through the cur-rents of the sea.
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 84
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
How love-ly is the place where you live,
O Lord of Heav-en's Ar-my!
I des-per-ate-ly want to be
in the courts of the Lord's tem-ple.
My heart and my en-tire be-ing
shout for joy to the liv-ing God.
E-ven the birds find a home there,
and the swal-low builds a nest,
where she can pro-tect her young
near your al-tar, O Lord of Heav-en's Ar-my,
my king and my God.
How bless-ed are those who live in your tem-ple
and praise you con-tin-ual-ly!
How bless-ed are those who find their strength in you,
and long to trav-el the roads
that lead to your tem-ple!
As they pass through the Ba-ca Val-ley,
he pro-vides a spring for them.
The rain e-ven cov-ers it with pools of wat-er.
They are sus-tained as they trav-el a-long;
each one ap-pears be-fore God in Zi-on.
O Lord God of Heav-en's Ar-my, hear my prayer!
List-en, O God of Ja-cob, and no-tice our shield!
Show con-cern for your cho-sen king!
Cer-tain-ly spend-ing just one day
in the courts of your tem-ple
is bet-ter than spend-ing a thou-sand days
an-y where else on the earth.
I would ra-ther stand be-fore the tem-ple of my God
than live in the tents of the wick-ed.
For the Lord God is our sove-reign pro-tec-tor.
The Lord be-stows fa-vor and hon-or;
he with-holds no good thing
from those who have in-teg-ri-ty.
O Lord of Heav-en's Ar-my,
how bless-ed are those who trust in you!
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 12:27-13:13
Now you are Christ’s body, and each of you is a member of it. And God has placed in the church first apostles, second prophets, third teachers, then miracles, gifts of healing, helps, gifts of leadership, different kinds of tongues. Not all are apostles, are they? Not all are prophets, are they? Not all are teachers, are they? Not all perform miracles, do they? Not all have gifts of healing, do they? Not all speak in tongues, do they? Not all interpret, do they? But you should be eager for the greater gifts.
And now I will show you a way that is beyond comparison.
If I speak in the tongues of men and of angels, but I do not have love, I am a noisy gong or a clanging cymbal. And if I have prophecy, and know all mysteries and all knowledge, and if I have all faith so that I can remove mountains, but do not have love, I am nothing. If I give away everything I own, and if I give over my body in order to boast, but do not have love, I receive no benefit.
Love is patient, love is kind, it is not envious. Love does not brag, it is not puffed up. It is not rude, it is not self-serving, it is not easily angered or resentful. It is not glad about injustice, but rejoices in the truth. It bears all things, believes all things, hopes all things, endures all things.
Love never ends. But if there are prophecies, they will be set aside; if there are tongues, they will cease; if there is knowledge, it will be set aside. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part, but when what is perfect comes, the partial will be set aside. When I was a child, I talked like a child, I thought like a child, I reasoned like a child. But when I became an adult, I set aside childish ways. For now we see in a mirror indirectly, but then we will see face to face. Now I know in part, but then I will know fully, just as I have been fully known. And now these three remain: faith, hope, and love. But the greatest of these is love.
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!
Sunday - Second Song of Isaiah
Tenor Soprano Response Cantor Bass Alto PDF All
Seek the Lord while he wills to be found;
call up-on him when he draws near.
Let the wicked for-sake their ways
and the e-vil ones their thoughts;
And let them turn to the Lord,
and he will have com-pas-sion,
Let then re-turn to our God,
for he will richly par-don.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts,
nor your ways my ways, says the Lord.
For as the heav-ens are higher than the earth,
so are my ways higher than your ways,
and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as rain and snow fall from the heav-ens
and re-turns not a-gain,
but wat-ers the whole earth,
Bring-ing forth life
and giving a-bun-dant growth
And seed for re-plan-ting
and bread and fruit for eat-ing,
So is my word that goes forth from my mouth;
it will not re-turn to me emp-ty;
But it will ac-com-plish that which I have pur-posed,
and prosper in that for which I sent it.
Glory 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-ever A-men.
A reading from Matthew 18:21-35
Then Peter came to him and said, “Lord, how many times must I forgive my brother who sins against me? As many as seven times?” Jesus said to him, “Not seven times, I tell you, but seventy-seven times!
“For this reason, the kingdom of heaven is like a king who wanted to settle accounts with his slaves. As he began settling his accounts, a man who owed 10,000 talents was brought to him. Because he was not able to repay it, the lord ordered him to be sold, along with his wife, children, and whatever he possessed, and repayment to be made. Then the slave threw himself to the ground before him, saying, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you everything.’ The lord had compassion on that slave and released him, and forgave him the debt. After he went out, that same slave found one of his fellow slaves who owed him 100 silver coins. So he grabbed him by the throat and started to choke him, saying, ‘Pay back what you owe me!’ Then his fellow slave threw himself down and begged him, ‘Be patient with me, and I will repay you.’ But he refused. Instead, he went out and threw him in prison until he repaid the debt. When his fellow slaves saw what had happened, they were very upset and went and told their lord everything that had taken place. Then his lord called the first slave and said to him, ‘Evil slave! I forgave you all that debt because you begged me! Should you not have shown mercy to your fellow slave, just as I showed it to you?’ And in anger his lord turned him over to the prison guards to torture him until he repaid all he owed. So also my heavenly Father will do to you, if each of you does not forgive your brother from your heart.”
Here ends the reading.
Thanks be to God!

On the third day he rose a-gain.
He a-scended into heav-en,
and is seated at the right hand of/the Fath-er.
He will come a-gain
