Dearly beloved brethren, the Scripture moveth us in sundry places to acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness; and that we should not dissemble nor cloak them before the face of Almighty God our heavenly Father; but confess them with an humble, lowly, penitent, and obedient heart; to the end that we may obtain forgiveness of the same, by his infinite goodness and mercy. And although we ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before God; yet ought we most chiefly so to do, when we assemble and meet together, to render thanks for the great benefits that we have received at his hands, to set forth his most worthy praise, to hear his most holy Word, and to ask those things which are requisite and necessary as well for the body as the soul. Wherefore I pray and beseech you, as many as are here present, to accompany me with a pure heart, and humble voice, unto the throne of the heavenly grace, saying after me:
Almighty and most merciful Father, We have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep: We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts: We have offended against thy holy laws: We have left undone those things which we ought to have done; And we have done those things which we ought not to have done; And there is no health in us. But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, miserable offenders: Spare thou themthose, O God, whichwho confess their faults: Restore thou them thatthose who are penitent; According to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, That we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, To the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who desireth not the death of a sinner, but rather that he may turn from his wickedness and live; and, hath given power and commandment to his Ministers, to declare and pronounce to his people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins:. He pardoneth and absolveth all them thatthose who truly repent, and unfeignedly believe his holy Gospel. Wherefore let us beseech him to grant us true repentance, and his Holy Spirit; that those things may please him which we do at this present, and that the rest of our life hereafter may be pure and holy; so that at the last we may come to his eternal joy, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Our Father, whichwho art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be done inon earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them thatthose who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil: For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
O Lord, open thou our lips.
And our mouth shall show forth thy praise.
O God, make speed to save us.
O Lord, make haste to help us.
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.
Praise ye the Lord.
The Lord's Name be praised.
| 1 | O come, let us sing unto the Lord; * let us heartily rejoice in the strength of our salvation. |
| 2 | Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving, * and shew ourselves glad in him with psalms. |
| 3 | For the Lord is a great God, * and a great King above all gods. |
| 4 | In his hand are all the corners of the earth, * and the strength of the hills is his also. |
| 5 | The sea is his, and he made it; * and his hands prepared the dry land. |
| 6 | O come, let us worship and fall down, * and kneel before the Lord our Maker. |
| 7 | For he is the Lord our God; * and we are the people of his pasture, and the sheep of his hand. |
| 8 | 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; |
| 9 | When your fathers tempted me, * proved me, and saw my works. |
| 10 | 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; |
| 11 | 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. |
| 1 | In thee, O Lord, have I put my trust, let me never be put to confusion: * but rid me and deliver me in thy righteousness, incline thine ear unto me, and save me. |
| 2 | Be thou my stronghold, whereunto I may alway resort: * thou hast promised to help me, for thou art my house of defence and my castle. |
| 3 | Deliver me, O my God, out of the hand of the ungodly, * out of the hand of the unrighteous and cruel man. |
| 4 | For thou, O Lord God, art the thing that I long for: * thou art my hope, even from my youth. |
| 5 | Through thee have I been holden up ever since I was born: * thou art he that took me out of my mother's womb; my praise shall be always of thee. |
| 6 | I am become as it were a monster unto many, * but my sure trust is in thee. |
| 7 | O let my mouth be filled with thy praise, * that I may sing of thy glory and honour all the day long. |
| 8 | Cast me not away in the time of age; * forsake me not when my strength faileth me. |
| 9 | For mine enemies speak against me, and they that lay wait for my soul take their counsel together, saying, * God hath forsaken him; persecute him, and take him, for there is none to deliver him. |
| 10 | Go not far from me, O God; * my God, haste thee to help me. |
| 11 | Let them be confounded and perish that are against my soul; * let them be covered with shame and dishonour that seek to do me evil. |
| 12 | As for me, I will patiently abide alway, * and will praise thee more and more. |
| 13 | My mouth shall daily speak of thy righteousness and salvation, * for I know no end thereof. |
| 14 | I will go forth in the strength of the Lord God, * and will make mention of thy righteousness only. |
| 15 | Thou, O God, hast taught me from my youth up until now; * therefore will I tell of thy wondrous works. |
| 16 | Forsake me not, O God, in mine old age, when I am grayheaded; * until I have shewed thy strength unto this generation, and thy power to all them that are yet for to come. |
| 17 | Thy righteousness, O God, is very high, * and great things are they that thou hast done; O God, who is like unto thee? |
| 18 | O what great troubles and adversities hast thou shewed me, and yet didst thou turn and refresh me; * yea, and broughtest me from the deep of the earth again. |
| 19 | Thou hast brought me to great honour, * and comforted me on every side. |
| 20 | Therefore will I praise thee and thy faithfulness, O God, playing upon an instrument of music: * unto thee will I sing upon the harp, O thou Holy One of Israel. |
| 21 | My lips will be fain when I sing unto thee; * and so will my soul whom thou hast delivered. |
| 22 | My tongue also shall talk of thy righteousness all the day long; * for they are confounded and brought unto shame that seek to do me evil. |
| † | 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. |
| 1 | Give the King thy judgements, O God, * and thy righteousness unto the King's son. |
| 2 | Then shall he judge thy people according unto right, * and defend the poor. |
| 3 | The mountains also shall bring peace, * and the little hills righteousness unto the people. |
| 4 | He shall keep the simple folk by their right, * defend the children of the poor, and punish the wrongdoer. |
| 5 | They shall fear thee, as long as the sun and moon endureth, * from one generation to another. |
| 6 | He shall come down like the rain into a fleece of wool, * even as the drops that water the earth. |
| 7 | In his time shall the righteous flourish; * yea, and abundance of peace, so long as the moon endureth. |
| 8 | His dominion shall be also from the one sea to the other, * and from the flood unto the world's end. |
| 9 | They that dwell in the wilderness shall kneel before him; * his enemies shall lick the dust. |
| 10 | The kings of Tharsis and of the isles shall give presents; * the kings of Arabia and Saba shall bring gifts. |
| 11 | All kings shall fall down before him; * all nations shall do him service. |
| 12 | For he shall deliver the poor when he crieth; * the needy also, and him that hath no helper. |
| 13 | He shall be favourable to the simple and needy, * and shall preserve the souls of the poor. |
| 14 | He shall deliver their souls from falsehood and wrong; * and dear shall their blood be in his sight. |
| 15 | He shall live, and unto him shall be given of the gold of Arabia; * prayer shall be made ever unto him, and daily shall he be praised. |
| 16 | There shall be an heap of corn in the earth, high upon the hills; * his fruit shall shake like Libanus, and shall be green in the city like grass upon the earth. |
| 17 | His Name shall endure for ever, his Name shall remain under the sun among the posterities; * which shall be blessed through him, and all the heathen shall praise him. |
| 18 | Blessed be the Lord God, even the God of Israel, * which only doeth wondrous things; |
| 19 | And blessed be the Name of his majesty for ever: * and all the earth shall be filled with his majesty. Amen, Amen. |
| † | 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. |
| 1 | And the children of Israel again did evil in the sight of the Lord, when Ehud was dead. |
| 2 | And the Lord sold them into the hand of Jabin king of Canaan, that reigned in Hazor; the captain of whose host was Sisera, which dwelt in Harosheth of the Gentiles. |
| 3 | And the children of Israel cried unto the Lord: for he had nine hundred chariots of iron; and twenty years he mightily oppressed the children of Israel. |
| 4 | And Deborah, a prophetess, the wife of Lapidoth, she judged Israel at that time. |
| 5 | And she dwelt under the palm tree of Deborah between Ramah and Beth-el in mount Ephraim: and the children of Israel came up to her for judgment. |
| 6 | And she sent and called Barak the son of Abinoam out of Kedesh-naphtali, and said unto him, Hath not the Lord God of Israel commanded, saying, Go and draw toward mount Tabor, and take with thee ten thousand men of the children of Naphtali and of the children of Zebulun? |
| 7 | And I will draw unto thee to the river Kishon Sisera, the captain of Jabin's army, with his chariots and his multitude; and I will deliver him into thine hand. |
| 8 | And Barak said unto her, If thou wilt go with me, then I will go: but if thou wilt not go with me, then I will not go. |
| 9 | And she said, I will surely go with thee: notwithstanding the journey that thou takest shall not be for thine honour; for the Lord shall sell Sisera into the hand of a woman. And Deborah arose, and went with Barak to Kedesh. |
| 10 | And Barak called Zebulun and Naphtali to Kedesh; and he went up with ten thousand men at his feet: and Deborah went up with him. |
| 11 | Now Heber the Kenite, which was of the children of Hobab the father in law of Moses, had severed himself from the Kenites, and pitched his tent unto the plain of Zaanaim, which is by Kedesh. |
| 12 | And they shewed Sisera that Barak the son of Abinoam was gone up to mount Tabor. |
| 13 | And Sisera gathered together all his chariots, even nine hundred chariots of iron, and all the people that were with him, from Harosheth of the Gentiles unto the river of Kishon. |
| 14 | And Deborah said unto Barak, Up; for this is the day in which the Lord hath delivered Sisera into thine hand: is not the Lord gone out before thee? So Barak went down from mount Tabor, and ten thousand men after him. |
| 15 | And the Lord discomfited Sisera, and all his chariots, and all his host, with the edge of the sword before Barak; so that Sisera lighted down off his chariot, and fled away on his feet. |
| 16 | But Barak pursued after the chariots, and after the host, unto Harosheth of the Gentiles: and all the host of Sisera fell upon the edge of the sword; and there was not a man left. |
| 17 | Howbeit Sisera fled away on his feet to the tent of Jael the wife of Heber the Kenite: for there was peace between Jabin the king of Hazor and the house of Heber the Kenite. |
| 18 | And Jael went out to meet Sisera, and said unto him, Turn in, my lord, turn in to me; fear not. And when he had turned in unto her into the tent, she covered him with a mantle. |
| 19 | And he said unto her, Give me, I pray thee, a little water to drink; for I am thirsty. And she opened a bottle of milk, and gave him drink, and covered him. |
| 20 | Again he said unto her, Stand in the door of the tent, and it shall be, when any man doth come and enquire of thee, and say, Is there any man here? that thou shalt say, No. |
| 21 | Then Jael Heber's wife took a nail of the tent, and took an hammer in her hand, and went softly unto him, and smote the nail into his temples, and fastened it into the ground: for he was fast asleep and weary. So he died. |
| 22 | And, behold, as Barak pursued Sisera, Jael came out to meet him, and said unto him, Come, and I will shew thee the man whom thou seekest. And when he came into her tent, behold, Sisera lay dead, and the nail was in his temples. |
| 23 | So God subdued on that day Jabin the king of Canaan before the children of Israel. |
| 24 | And the hand of the children of Israel prospered, and prevailed against Jabin the king of Canaan, until they had destroyed Jabin king of Canaan. |
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.
| 1 | After two days was the feast of the passover, and of unleavened bread: and the chief priests and the scribes sought how they might take him by craft, and put him to death. |
| 2 | But they said, Not on the feast day, lest there be an uproar of the people. |
| 3 | And being in Bethany in the house of Simon the leper, as he sat at meat, there came a woman having an alabaster box of ointment of spikenard very precious; and she brake the box, and poured it on his head. |
| 4 | And there were some that had indignation within themselves, and said, Why was this waste of the ointment made? |
| 5 | For it might have been sold for more than three hundred pence, and have been given to the poor. And they murmured against her. |
| 6 | And Jesus said, Let her alone; why trouble ye her? she hath wrought a good work on me. |
| 7 | For ye have the poor with you always, and whensoever ye will ye may do them good: but me ye have not always. |
| 8 | She hath done what she could: she is come aforehand to anoint my body to the burying. |
| 9 | Verily I say unto you, Wheresoever this gospel shall be preached throughout the whole world, this also that she hath done shall be spoken of for a memorial of her. |
| 10 | And Judas Iscariot, one of the twelve, went unto the chief priests, to betray him unto them. |
| 11 | And when they heard it, they were glad, and promised to give him money. And he sought how he might conveniently betray him. |
| 12 | And the first day of unleavened bread, when they killed the passover, his disciples said unto him, Where wilt thou that we go and prepare that thou mayest eat the passover? |
| 13 | And he sendeth forth two of his disciples, and saith unto them, Go ye into the city, and there shall meet you a man bearing a pitcher of water: follow him. |
| 14 | And wheresoever he shall go in, say ye to the goodman of the house, The Master saith, Where is the guestchamber, where I shall eat the passover with my disciples? |
| 15 | And he will shew you a large upper room furnished and prepared: there make ready for us. |
| 16 | And his disciples went forth, and came into the city, and found as he had said unto them: and they made ready the passover. |
| 17 | And in the evening he cometh with the twelve. |
| 18 | And as they sat and did eat, Jesus said, Verily I say unto you, One of you which eateth with me shall betray me. |
| 19 | And they began to be sorrowful, and to say unto him one by one, Is it I? and another said, Is it I? |
| 20 | And he answered and said unto them, It is one of the twelve, that dippeth with me in the dish. |
| 21 | The Son of man indeed goeth, as it is written of him: but woe to that man by whom the Son of man is betrayed! good were it for that man if he had never been born. |
| 22 | And as they did eat, Jesus took bread, and blessed, and brake it, and gave to them, and said, Take, eat: this is my body. |
| 23 | And he took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them: and they all drank of it. |
| 24 | And he said unto them, This is my blood of the new testament, which is shed for many. |
| 25 | Verily I say unto you, I will drink no more of the fruit of the vine, until that day that I drink it new in the kingdom of God. |
| 26 | And when they had sung an hymn, they went out into the mount of Olives. |
| 27 | And Jesus saith unto them, All ye shall be offended because of me this night: for it is written, I will smite the shepherd, and the sheep shall be scattered. |
| 28 | But after that I am risen, I will go before you into Galilee. |
| 29 | But Peter said unto him, Although all shall be offended, yet will not I. |
| 30 | And Jesus saith unto him, Verily I say unto thee, That this day, even in this night, before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. |
| 31 | But he spake the more vehemently, If I should die with thee, I will not deny thee in any wise. Likewise also said they all. |
| 32 | And they came to a place which was named Gethsemane: and he saith to his disciples, Sit ye here, while I shall pray. |
| 33 | And he taketh with him Peter and James and John, and began to be sore amazed, and to be very heavy; |
| 34 | And saith unto them, My soul is exceeding sorrowful unto death: tarry ye here, and watch. |
| 35 | And he went forward a little, and fell on the ground, and prayed that, if it were possible, the hour might pass from him. |
| 36 | And he said, Abba, Father, all things are possible unto thee; take away this cup from me: nevertheless not what I will, but what thou wilt. |
| 37 | And he cometh, and findeth them sleeping, and saith unto Peter, Simon, sleepest thou? couldest not thou watch one hour? |
| 38 | Watch ye and pray, lest ye enter into temptation. The spirit truly is ready, but the flesh is weak. |
| 39 | And again he went away, and prayed, and spake the same words. |
| 40 | And when he returned, he found them asleep again, (for their eyes were heavy,) neither wist they what to answer him. |
| 41 | And he cometh the third time, and saith unto them, Sleep on now, and take your rest: it is enough, the hour is come; behold, the Son of man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. |
| 42 | Rise up, let us go; lo, he that betrayeth me is at hand. |
| 43 | And immediately, while he yet spake, cometh Judas, one of the twelve, and with him a great multitude with swords and staves, from the chief priests and the scribes and the elders. |
| 44 | And he that betrayed him had given them a token, saying, Whomsoever I shall kiss, that same is he; take him, and lead him away safely. |
| 45 | And as soon as he was come, he goeth straightway to him, and saith, Master, master; and kissed him. |
| 46 | And they laid their hands on him, and took him. |
| 47 | And one of them that stood by drew a sword, and smote a servant of the high priest, and cut off his ear. |
| 48 | And Jesus answered and said unto them, Are ye come out, as against a thief, with swords and with staves to take me? |
| 49 | I was daily with you in the temple teaching, and ye took me not: but the scriptures must be fulfilled. |
| 50 | And they all forsook him, and fled. |
| 51 | And there followed him a certain young man, having a linen cloth cast about his naked body; and the young men laid hold on him: |
| 52 | And he left the linen cloth, and fled from them naked. |
| 53 | And they led Jesus away to the high priest: and with him were assembled all the chief priests and the elders and the scribes. |
| 54 | And Peter followed him afar off, even into the palace of the high priest: and he sat with the servants, and warmed himself at the fire. |
| 55 | And the chief priests and all the council sought for witness against Jesus to put him to death; and found none. |
| 56 | For many bare false witness against him, but their witness agreed not together. |
| 57 | And there arose certain, and bare false witness against him, saying, |
| 58 | We heard him say, I will destroy this temple that is made with hands, and within three days I will build another made without hands. |
| 59 | But neither so did their witness agree together. |
| 60 | And the high priest stood up in the midst, and asked Jesus, saying, Answerest thou nothing? what is it which these witness against thee? |
| 61 | But he held his peace, and answered nothing. Again the high priest asked him, and said unto him, Art thou the Christ, the Son of the Blessed? |
| 62 | And Jesus said, I am: and ye shall see the Son of man sitting on the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven. |
| 63 | Then the high priest rent his clothes, and saith, What need we any further witnesses? |
| 64 | Ye have heard the blasphemy: what think ye? And they all condemned him to be guilty of death. |
| 65 | And some began to spit on him, and to cover his face, and to buffet him, and to say unto him, Prophesy: and the servants did strike him with the palms of their hands. |
| 66 | And as Peter was beneath in the palace, there cometh one of the maids of the high priest: |
| 67 | And when she saw Peter warming himself, she looked upon him, and said, And thou also wast with Jesus of Nazareth. |
| 68 | But he denied, saying, I know not, neither understand I what thou sayest. And he went out into the porch; and the cock crew. |
| 69 | And a maid saw him again, and began to say to them that stood by, This is one of them. |
| 70 | And he denied it again. And a little after, they that stood by said again to Peter, Surely thou art one of them: for thou art a Galilæan, and thy speech agreeth thereto. |
| 71 | But he began to curse and to swear, saying, I know not this man of whom ye speak. |
| 72 | And the second time the cock crew. And Peter called to mind the word that Jesus said unto him, Before the cock crow twice, thou shalt deny me thrice. And when he thought thereon, he wept. |
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.
I believe in God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth: And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, Born of the Virgin Mary, Suffered under Pontius Pilate, Was crucified, dead, and buried; He descended into hell; The third day he rose again from the dead; He ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; The holy Catholic Church; The Communion of Saints; The Forgiveness of sins; The Resurrection of the body; And the Life everlasting. Amen.
The Lord be with you:
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
Lord, have mercy upon us.

O Lord, who never failest to help and govern themthose whom thou dost bring up in thy stedfast fear and love; Keep us, we beseech thee, under the protection of thy good providence, and make us to have a perpetual fear and love of thy holy Name, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
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.
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.

O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons, and one God: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
O holy, blessed, and glorious Trinity, three Persons, and one God: have mercy upon us miserable sinners.
Remember not, Lord, our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers; neither take thou vengeance of our sins: spare us, good Lord, spare thy people, whom thou hast redeemed with thy most precious blood, and be not angry with us for ever.
Spare us, good Lord.
