Ps. 95.
| O come, let us sing unto the Lord; let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. |
| Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms. |
| For the Lord is a great God, and a great King above all gods. |
| In his hand are all the corners of the earth, and the strength of the hills is his also. |
| The sea is his, and he made it; and his hands prepared the dry land. |
| O come, let us worship and fall down, and kneel before the Lord our Maker. |
| For he is the Lord our God; and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. |
| Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the wilderness; |
| When your fathers tempted me, proved me, and saw my works. |
| Forty years long was I grieved with this generation, and said, It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways; |
| Unto whom I sware in my wrath, that they should not enter into my rest. |
| Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
Ps. 102.
| Hear my prayer, O Lord, and let my crying come unto thee. |
| Hide not thy face from me in the time of my trouble; incline thine ear unto me when I call; O hear me, and that right soon. |
| For my days are consumed away like smoke, and my bones are burnt up as it were a firebrand. |
| My heart is smitten down, and withered like grass; so that I forget to eat my bread. |
| For the voice of my groaning, my bones will scarce cleave to my flesh. |
| I am become like a pelican in the wilderness, and like an owl that is in the desert. |
| I have watched, and am even as it were a sparrow, that sitteth alone upon the housetop. |
| Mine enemies revile me all the day long; and they that are mad upon me are sworn together against me. |
| For I have eaten ashes as it were bread, and mingled my drink with weeping; |
| And that because of thine indignation and wrath; for thou hast taken me up, and cast me down. |
| My days are gone like a shadow, and I am withered like grass. |
| But thou, O Lord, shalt endure for ever, and thy remembrance throughout all generations. |
| Thou shalt arise, and have mercy upon Sion; for it is time that thou have mercy upon her, yea, the time is come. |
| And why? thy servants think upon her stones, and it pitieth them to see her in the dust. |
| The heathen shall fear thy Name, O Lord, and all the kings of the earth thy majesty; |
| When the Lord shall build up Sion, and when his glory shall appear; |
| When he turneth him unto the prayer of the poor destitute, and despiseth not their desire. |
| This shall be written for those that come after, and the people which shall be born shall praise the Lord. |
| For he hath looked down from his sanctuary; out of the heaven did the Lord behold the earth; |
| That he might hear the mournings of such as are in captivity, and deliver the children appointed unto death; |
| That they may declare the Name of the Lord in Sion, and his worship at Jerusalem; |
| When the people are gathered together, and the kingdoms also, to serve the Lord. |
| He brought down my strength in my journey, and shortened my days. |
| But I said, O my God, take me not away in the midst of mine age; as for thy years, they endure throughout all generations. |
| Thou, Lord, in the beginning hast laid the foundation of the earth, and the heavens are the work of thy hands. |
| They shall perish, but thou shalt endure: they all shall wax old as doth a garment; |
| And as a vesture shalt thou change them, and they shall be changed; but thou art the same, and thy years shall not fail. |
| The children of thy servants shall continue, and their seed shall stand fast in thy sight. |
| Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
Ps. 103.
| Praise the Lord, O my soul; and all that is within me praise his holy Name. |
| Praise the Lord, O my soul, and forget not all his benefits; |
| Who forgiveth all thy sin, and healeth all thine infirmities; |
| Who saveth thy life from destruction, and crowneth thee with mercy and lovingkindness; |
| Who satisfieth thy mouth with good things, making thee young and lusty as an eagle. |
| The Lord executeth righteousness and judgement for all them that are oppressed with wrong. |
| He shewed his ways unto Moses, his works unto the children of Israel. |
| The Lord is full of compassion and mercy, longsuffering, and of great goodness. |
| He will not alway be chiding; neither keepeth he his anger for ever. |
| He hath not dealt with us after our sins; nor rewarded us according to our wickednesses. |
| For look how high the heaven is in comparison of the earth; so great is his mercy also toward them that fear him. |
| Look how wide also the east is from the west; so far hath he set our sins from us. |
| Yea, like as a father pitieth his own children; even so is the Lord merciful unto them that fear him. |
| For he knoweth whereof we are made; he remembereth that we are but dust. |
| The days of man are but as grass; for he flourisheth as a flower of the field. |
| For as soon as the wind goeth over it, it is gone; and the place thereof shall know it no more. |
| But the merciful goodness of the Lord endureth for ever and ever upon them that fear him; and his righteousness upon children's children; |
| Even upon such as keep his covenant, and think upon his commandments to do them. |
| The Lord hath prepared his seat in heaven, and his kingdom ruleth over all. |
| O praise the Lord, ye angels of his, ye that excel in strength; ye that fulfil his commandment, and hearken unto the voice of his words. |
| O praise the Lord, all ye his hosts; ye servants of his that do his pleasure. |
| O speak good of the Lord, all ye works of his, in all places of his dominion: praise thou the Lord, O my soul. |
| Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. |
First Lesson✤
| The word that came to Jeremiah from the Lord, saying, |
| Stand in the gate of the Lord's house, and proclaim there this word, and say, Hear the word of the Lord, all ye of Judah, that enter in at these gates to worship the Lord. |
| Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel, Amend your ways and your doings, and I will cause you to dwell in this place. |
| Trust ye not in lying words, saying, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, The temple of the Lord, are these. |
| For if ye throughly amend your ways and your doings; if ye throughly execute judgment between a man and his neighbour; |
| If ye oppress not the stranger, the fatherless, and the widow, and shed not innocent blood in this place, neither walk after other gods to your hurt: |
| Then will I cause you to dwell in this place, in the land that I gave to your fathers, for ever and ever. |
| Behold, ye trust in lying words, that cannot profit. |
| Will ye steal, murder, and commit adultery, and swear falsely, and burn incense unto Baal, and walk after other gods whom ye know not; |
| And come and stand before me in this house, which is called by my name, and say, We are delivered to do all these abominations? |
| Is this house, which is called by my name, become a den of robbers in your eyes? Behold, even I have seen it, saith the Lord. |
| But go ye now unto my place which was in Shiloh, where I set my name at the first, and see what I did to it for the wickedness of my people Israel. |
| And now, because ye have done all these works, saith the Lord, and I spake unto you, rising up early and speaking, but ye heard not; and I called you, but ye answered not; |
| Therefore will I do unto this house, which is called by my name, wherein ye trust, and unto the place which I gave to you and to your fathers, as I have done to Shiloh. |
| And I will cast you out of my sight, as I have cast out all your brethren, even the whole seed of Ephraim. |
| Therefore pray not thou for this people, neither lift up cry nor prayer for them, neither make intercession to me: for I will not hear thee. |
| Seest thou not what they do in the cities of Judah and in the streets of Jerusalem? |
| The children gather wood, and the fathers kindle the fire, and the women knead their dough, to make cakes to the queen of heaven, and to pour out drink offerings unto other gods, that they may provoke me to anger. |
| Do they provoke me to anger? saith the Lord: do they not provoke themselves to the confusion of their own faces? |
| Therefore thus saith the Lord God; Behold, mine anger and my fury shall be poured out upon this place, upon man, and upon beast, and upon the trees of the field, and upon the fruit of the ground; and it shall burn, and shall not be quenched. |
| Thus saith the Lord of hosts, the God of Israel; Put your burnt offerings unto your sacrifices, and eat flesh. |
| For I spake not unto your fathers, nor commanded them in the day that I brought them out of the land of Egypt, concerning burnt offerings or sacrifices: |
| But this thing commanded I them, saying, Obey my voice, and I will be your God, and ye shall be my people: and walk ye in all the ways that I have commanded you, that it may be well unto you. |
| But they hearkened not, nor inclined their ear, but walked in the counsels and in the imagination of their evil heart, and went backward, and not forward. |
| Since the day that your fathers came forth out of the land of Egypt unto this day I have even sent unto you all my servants the prophets, daily rising up early and sending them: |
| Yet they hearkened not unto me, nor inclined their ear, but hardened their neck: they did worse than their fathers. |
| Therefore thou shalt speak all these words unto them; but they will not hearken to thee: thou shalt also call unto them; but they will not answer thee. |
| But thou shalt say unto them, This is a nation that obeyeth not the voice of the Lord their God, nor receiveth correction: truth is perished, and is cut off from their mouth. |
| Cut off thine hair, O Jerusalem, and cast it away, and take up a lamentation on high places; for the Lord hath rejected and forsaken the generation of his wrath. |
| For the children of Judah have done evil in my sight, saith the Lord: they have set their abominations in the house which is called by my name, to pollute it. |
| And they have built the high places of Tophet, which is in the valley of the son of Hinnom, to burn their sons and their daughters in the fire; which I commanded them not, neither came it into my heart. |
| Therefore, behold, the days come, saith the Lord, that it shall no more be called Tophet, nor the valley of the son of Hinnom, but the valley of slaughter: for they shall bury in Tophet, till there be no place. |
| And the carcases of this people shall be meat for the fowls of the heaven, and for the beasts of the earth; and none shall fray them away. |
| Then will I cause to cease from the cities of Judah, and from the streets of Jerusalem, the voice of mirth, and the voice of gladness, the voice of the bridegroom, and the voice of the bride: for the land shall be desolate. |
TE DEUM LAUDAMUSFirst Canticle
We praise thee, O God; we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud; the Heavens, and all the powers therein.
To thee Cherubin and Seraphin continually do cry,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee;
The Father of an infinite Majesty;
Thine honourable, true, and only Son;
Also the Holy Ghost the Comforter,
Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ;
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man,
thou didst not abhor the Virgin's womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death,
thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God,
in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge.
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants, whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy saints,
in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, and bless thine heritage.
Govern them and lift them up for ever.
Day by day we magnify thee;
And we worship thy Name ever, world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted; let me never be confounded.
Second Lesson✤
| Jesus went unto the mount of Olives. |
| And early in the morning he came again into the temple, and all the people came unto him; and he sat down, and taught them. |
| And the scribes and Pharisees brought unto him a woman taken in adultery; and when they had set her in the midst, |
| They say unto him, Master, this woman was taken in adultery, in the very act. |
| Now Moses in the law commanded us, that such should be stoned: but what sayest thou? |
| This they said, tempting him, that they might have to accuse him. But Jesus stooped down, and with his finger wrote on the ground, as though he heard them not. |
| So when they continued asking him, he lifted up himself, and said unto them, He that is without sin among you, let him first cast a stone at her. |
| And again he stooped down, and wrote on the ground. |
| And they which heard it, being convicted by their own conscience, went out one by one, beginning at the eldest, even unto the last: and Jesus was left alone, and the woman standing in the midst. |
| When Jesus had lifted up himself, and saw none but the woman, he said unto her, Woman, where are those thine accusers? hath no man condemned thee? |
| She said, No man, Lord. And Jesus said unto her, Neither do I condemn thee: go, and sin no more. |
| Then spake Jesus again unto them, saying, I am the light of the world: he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life. |
| The Pharisees therefore said unto him, Thou bearest record of thyself; thy record is not true. |
| Jesus answered and said unto them, Though I bear record of myself, yet my record is true: for I know whence I came, and whither I go; but ye cannot tell whence I come, and whither I go. |
| Ye judge after the flesh; I judge no man. |
| And yet if I judge, my judgment is true: for I am not alone, but I and the Father that sent me. |
| It is also written in your law, that the testimony of two men is true. |
| I am one that bear witness of myself, and the Father that sent me beareth witness of me. |
| Then said they unto him, Where is thy Father? Jesus answered, Ye neither know me, nor my Father: if ye had known me, ye should have known my Father also. |
| These words spake Jesus in the treasury, as he taught in the temple: and no man laid hands on him; for his hour was not yet come. |
| Then said Jesus again unto them, I go my way, and ye shall seek me, and shall die in your sins: whither I go, ye cannot come. |
| Then said the Jews, Will he kill himself? because he saith, Whither I go, ye cannot come. |
| And he said unto them, Ye are from beneath; I am from above: ye are of this world; I am not of this world. |
| I said therefore unto you, that ye shall die in your sins: for if ye believe not that I am he, ye shall die in your sins. |
| Then said they unto him, Who art thou? And Jesus saith unto them, Even the same that I said unto you from the beginning. |
| I have many things to say and to judge of you: but he that sent me is true; and I speak to the world those things which I have heard of him. |
| They understood not that he spake to them of the Father. |
| Then said Jesus unto them, When ye have lifted up the Son of man, then shall ye know that I am he, and that I do nothing of myself; but as my Father hath taught me, I speak these things. |
| And he that sent me is with me: the Father hath not left me alone; for I do always those things that please him. |
| As he spake these words, many believed on him. |
| Then said Jesus to those Jews which believed on him, If ye continue in my word, then are ye my disciples indeed; |
| And ye shall know the truth, and the truth shall make you free. |
| They answered him, We be Abraham's seed, and were never in bondage to any man: how sayest thou, Ye shall be made free? |
| Jesus answered them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whosoever committeth sin is the servant of sin. |
| And the servant abideth not in the house for ever: but the Son abideth ever. |
| If the Son therefore shall make you free, ye shall be free indeed. |
| I know that ye are Abraham's seed; but ye seek to kill me, because my word hath no place in you. |
| I speak that which I have seen with my Father: and ye do that which ye have seen with your father. |
| They answered and said unto him, Abraham is our father. Jesus saith unto them, If ye were Abraham's children, ye would do the works of Abraham. |
| But now ye seek to kill me, a man that hath told you the truth, which I have heard of God: this did not Abraham. |
| Ye do the deeds of your father. Then said they to him, We be not born of fornication; we have one Father, even God. |
| Jesus said unto them, If God were your Father, ye would love me: for I proceeded forth and came from God; neither came I of myself, but he sent me. |
| Why do ye not understand my speech? even because ye cannot hear my word. |
| Ye are of your father the devil, and the lusts of your father ye will do. He was a murderer from the beginning, and abode not in the truth, because there is no truth in him. When he speaketh a lie, he speaketh of his own: for he is a liar, and the father of it. |
| And because I tell you the truth, ye believe me not. |
| Which of you convinceth me of sin? And if I say the truth, why do ye not believe me? |
| He that is of God heareth God's words: ye therefore hear them not, because ye are not of God. |
| Then answered the Jews, and said unto him, Say we not well that thou art a Samaritan, and hast a devil? |
| Jesus answered, I have not a devil; but I honour my Father, and ye do dishonour me. |
| And I seek not mine own glory: there is one that seeketh and judgeth. |
| Verily, verily, I say unto you, If a man keep my saying, he shall never see death. |
| Then said the Jews unto him, Now we know that thou hast a devil. Abraham is dead, and the prophets; and thou sayest, If a man keep my saying, he shall never taste of death. |
| Art thou greater than our father Abraham, which is dead? and the prophets are dead: whom makest thou thyself? |
| Jesus answered, If I honour myself, my honour is nothing: it is my Father that honoureth me; of whom ye say, that he is your God: |
| Yet ye have not known him; but I know him: and if I should say, I know him not, I shall be a liar like unto you: but I know him, and keep his saying. |
| Your father Abraham rejoiced to see my day: and he saw it, and was glad. |
| Then said the Jews unto him, Thou art not yet fifty years old, and hast thou seen Abraham? |
| Jesus said unto them, Verily, verily, I say unto you, Before Abraham was, I am. |
| Then took they up stones to cast at him: but Jesus hid himself, and went out of the temple, going through the midst of them, and so passed by. |
BENEDICTUSSecond Canticle
Blessed be the Lord God of Israel;
for he hath visited and redeemed his people;
And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us,
in the house of his servant David;
As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets,
which have been since the world began;
That we should be saved from our enemies,
and from the hand of all that hate us:
To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers, and to remember his holy covenant;
To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham, that he would give us;
That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies might serve him without fear;
In holiness and righteousness before him, all the days of our life.
And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest:
for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways;
To give knowledge of salvation unto his people
for the remission of their sins,
Through the tender mercy of our God;
whereby the Day-spring from on high hath visited us;
To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death,
and to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory be to the Father,
and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning,
is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
Collect of the Day
Lord of all power and might, who art the author and giver of all good things; Graft in our hearts the love of thy Name, increase in us true religion, nourish us with all goodness, and of thy great mercy keep us in the same, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Collect for Peace
O God, who art the author of peace, and lover of concord, in knowledge of whom standeth our eternal life, whose service is perfect freedom; Defend us thy humble servants in all assaults of our enemies; that we surely trusting in thy defence, may not fear the power of any adversaries, through the might of Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Collect for Grace
O Lord our heavenly Father, Almighty and everlasting God, who hast safely brought us to the beginning of this day; Defend us in the same with thy mighty power; and grant that this day we fall into no sin, neither run into any kind of danger; but that all our doings may be ordered by thy governance, to do always that isdoings, being ordered by thy governance, may be righteous in thy sight, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
