The Call to Prayer |
| Come, let us sing to the LORD;* let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation. Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving* and raise a loud shout to him with psalms. For the LORD is a great God,* and a great King above all gods. In his hands are the caverns of the earth,* and the heights of the hills are his also. The sea is his, for he made it,* and his hands have molded the dry land. |

A Reading |
|
|
| Pass through, pass through the gates. Clear a way for my people! Level up, level up the highway, remove the stones! Hoist a signal to the peoples! This is what YAHWEH has proclaimed to the remotest part of the earth: Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Look, your salvation is coming; with him comes his reward, his achievement precedes him!’ They will be called ‘The Holy People,’ ‘YAHWEH’s Redeemed,’ while you will be called ‘Sought after,’ ‘City-not-forsaken.’ |
| Isaiah 62:10–12 |
|
The Refrain |
|

| May the glory of the LORD endure for ever;* may the LORD rejoice in all his works. |
|
The Midday Psalm |
|
The Earth Is the LORD’s and All That Is in It |
| The earth is the LORD’s and all that is in it,* the world and all who dwell therein. For it is he who founded it upon the seas* and made it firm upon the rivers of the deep. “Who can ascend the hill of the LORD?”* and who can stand in his holy place?” “Those who have clean hands and a pure heart,* who have not pledged themselves to falsehood, nor sworn by what is a fraud. They shall receive a blessing from the LORD* and a just reward from the God of their salvation.” Such is the generation of those who seek him,* of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob. |
| Psalm 24:1–6 |
|
The Refrain |
|
|
| May the glory of the LORD endure for ever;* may the LORD rejoice in all his works. |
|

| O God, come to my assistance! O Lord, make haste to help me! |
|
The Lord’s Prayer |
|
|
| Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be your Name. May your kingdom come, and your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil; for yours are the kingdom and the power and the glory forever and ever. Amen. |
|
The Prayer Appointed for the Day |
|
|
| Assist me mercifully with your help, O Lord God of our salvation, that I may enter with joy upon the contemplation of those mighty acts, whereby you have given us life and immortality; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. † |
|
The Concluding Prayer of the Church |
|
|
| Almighty and everlasting God, who willed that our Savior should take upon Him, our flesh and suffer death upon the Cross, that all mankind should follow the example of His great humility, mercifully grant that I may both follow the example of His patience and also partake of His resurrection. Through the same Jesus Christ. Amen. |
