|
|
| You have been buried with him by your baptism; by which, too, you have been raised up with him through your belief in the power of God who raised him from the dead. You were dead, because you were sinners and uncircumcised in body: he has brought you to life with him, he has forgiven every one of our sins. |
| Colossians 2:12–13 |

The Midday Psalm |
|
We Will Call Upon the Name of the LORD Our God |
| May the LORD answer you in the day of trouble,* the Name of the God of Jacob defend you; Send you help from his holy place* and strengthen you out of Zion; Remember all your offerings* and accept your burnt sacrifice; Grant you your heart’s desire* and prosper all your plans. We will shout for joy at your victory and triumph in the Name of our God;* may the LORD grant all your requests. Now I know that the LORD gives victory to his anointed;* he will answer him out of his holy heaven, with the victorious strength of his right hand. Some put their trust in chariots and some in horses,* but we will call upon the Name of the LORD our God. They collapse and fall down,* but we will arise and stand upright. O LORD, give victory to the king* and answer us when we call. |
| Psalm 20 |
|
The Refrain |

|
| For you, O LORD, are good and forgiving,* and great is your love toward all who call upon you. |

| In the evening, in the morning, and at noonday, I will complain and lament,* and he will hear my voice. |

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 Week |
|
|
| O God, who by the glorious resurrection of your Son Jesus Christ destroyed death and brought life and immortality to light: Grant that I, who have been raised with him, may abide in his presence and rejoice in the hope of eternal glory; through Jesus Christ my Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be dominion and praise for ever and ever. Amen. † |
|
The Concluding Prayer of the Church |
|
|
| Lord Jesus Christ, by your death you took away the sting of death: Grant me to so follow in faith where you have led the way, that I may at length fall asleep peacefully in you and wake in your likeness; for your tender mercies’ sake. Amen. † |
