LORD'S PRAYER AND PRECES
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.
Ps. 6.
| O Lord, rebuke me not in thine indignation, neither chasten me in thy displeasure. |
| Have mercy upon me, O Lord, for I am weak; O Lord, heal me, for my bones are vexed. |
| My soul also is sore troubled: but, Lord, how long wilt thou punish me? |
| Turn thee, O Lord, and deliver my soul; O save me for thy mercy's sake. |
| For in death no man remembereth thee; and who will give thee thanks in the pit? |
| I am weary of my groaning; every night wash I my bed, and water my couch with my tears. |
| My beauty is gone for very trouble, and worn away because of all mine enemies. |
| Away from me, all ye that work vanity; for the Lord hath heard the voice of my weeping. |
| The Lord hath heard my petition; the Lord will receive my prayer. |
| All mine enemies shall be confounded, and sore vexed; they shall be turned back, and put to shame suddenly. |
| 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. 7.
| O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me; |
| Lest he devour my soul, like a lion, and tear it in pieces, while there is none to help. |
| O Lord my God, if I have done any such thing; or if there be any wickedness in my hands; |
| If I have rewarded evil unto him that dealt friendly with me; yea, I have delivered him that without any cause is mine enemy; |
| Then let mine enemy persecute my soul, and take me; yea, let him tread my life down upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. |
| Stand up, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift up thyself, because of the indignation of mine enemies; arise up for me in the judgement that thou hast commanded. |
| And so shall the congregation of the people come about thee: for their sakes therefore lift up thyself again. |
| The Lord shall judge the people; give sentence with me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to the innocency that is in me. |
| O let the wickedness of the ungodly come to an end; but guide thou the just. |
| For the righteous God trieth the very hearts and reins. |
| My help cometh of God, who preserveth them that are true of heart. |
| God is a righteous Judge, strong and patient; and God is provoked every day. |
| If a man will not turn, he will whet his sword; he hath bent his bow, and made it ready. |
| He hath prepared for him the instruments of death; he ordaineth his arrows against the persecutors. |
| Behold, he travaileth with mischief; he hath conceived sorrow, and brought forth ungodliness. |
| He hath graven and digged up a pit, and is fallen himself into the destruction that he made for other. |
| For his travail shall come upon his own head, and his wickedness shall fall on his own pate. |
| I will give thanks unto the Lord, according to his righteousness; and I will praise the Name of the Lord most High. |
| 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. 8.
| O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world; thou that hast set thy glory above the heavens! |
| Out of the mouth of very babes and sucklings hast thou ordained strength, because of thine enemies, that thou mightest still the enemy and the avenger. |
| For I will consider thy heavens, even the works of thy fingers; the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained. |
| What is man, that thou art mindful of him? and the son of man, that thou visitest him? |
| Thou madest him lower than the angels, to crown him with glory and worship. |
| Thou makest him to have dominion of the works of thy hands, and thou hast put all things in subjection under his feet; |
| All sheep and oxen; yea, and the beasts of the field; |
| The fowls of the air, and the fishes of the sea; and whatsoever walketh through the paths of the seas. |
| O Lord our Governor, how excellent is thy Name in all the world! |
| 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
| Whoso loveth instruction loveth knowledge: but he that hateth reproof is brutish. |
| A good man obtaineth favour of the Lord: but a man of wicked devices will he condemn. |
| A man shall not be established by wickedness: but the root of the righteous shall not be moved. |
| A virtuous woman is a crown to her husband: but she that maketh ashamed is as rottenness in his bones. |
| The thoughts of the righteous are right: but the counsels of the wicked are deceit. |
| The words of the wicked are to lie in wait for blood: but the mouth of the upright shall deliver them. |
| The wicked are overthrown, and are not: but the house of the righteous shall stand. |
| A man shall be commended according to his wisdom: but he that is of a perverse heart shall be despised. |
| He that is despised, and hath a servant, is better than he that honoureth himself, and lacketh bread. |
| A righteous man regardeth the life of his beast: but the tender mercies of the wicked are cruel. |
| He that tilleth his land shall be satisfied with bread: but he that followeth vain persons is void of understanding. |
| The wicked desireth the net of evil men: but the root of the righteous yieldeth fruit. |
| The wicked is snared by the transgression of his lips: but the just shall come out of trouble. |
| A man shall be satisfied with good by the fruit of his mouth: and the recompence of a man's hands shall be rendered unto him. |
| The way of a fool is right in his own eyes: but he that hearkeneth unto counsel is wise. |
| A fool's wrath is presently known: but a prudent man covereth shame. |
| He that speaketh truth sheweth forth righteousness: but a false witness deceit. |
| There is that speaketh like the piercings of a sword: but the tongue of the wise is health. |
| The lip of truth shall be established for ever: but a lying tongue is but for a moment. |
| Deceit is in the heart of them that imagine evil: but to the counsellors of peace is joy. |
| There shall no evil happen to the just: but the wicked shall be filled with mischief. |
| Lying lips are abomination to the Lord: but they that deal truly are his delight. |
| A prudent man concealeth knowledge: but the heart of fools proclaimeth foolishness. |
| The hand of the diligent shall bear rule: but the slothful shall be under tribute. |
| Heaviness in the heart of man maketh it stoop: but a good word maketh it glad. |
| The righteous is more excellent than his neighbour: but the way of the wicked seduceth them. |
| The slothful man roasteth not that which he took in hunting: but the substance of a diligent man is precious. |
| In the way of righteousness is life; and in the pathway thereof there is no death. |
MAGNIFICATFirst Canticle
My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour.
For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.
For behold, from henceforth
all generations shall call me blessed.
For he that is mighty hath magnified me;
and holy is his Name.
And his mercy is on them that fear him
throughout all generations.
He hath showed strength with his arm;
he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.
He hath put down the mighty from their seat,
and hath exalted the humble and meek.
He hath filled the hungry with good things;
and the rich he hath sent empty away.
He remembering his mercy, hath holpen his servant Israel;
as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.
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.
SECOND LESSON
| Paul and Timotheus, the servants of Jesus Christ, to all the saints in Christ Jesus which are at Philippi, with the bishops and deacons: |
| Grace be unto you, and peace, from God our Father, and from the Lord Jesus Christ. |
| I thank my God upon every remembrance of you, |
| Always in every prayer of mine for you all making request with joy, |
| For your fellowship in the gospel from the first day until now; |
| Being confident of this very thing, that he which hath begun a good work in you will perform it until the day of Jesus Christ: |
| Even as it is meet for me to think this of you all, because I have you in my heart; inasmuch as both in my bonds, and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel, ye all are partakers of my grace. |
| For God is my record, how greatly I long after you all in the bowels of Jesus Christ. |
| And this I pray, that your love may abound yet more and more in knowledge and in all judgment; |
| That ye may approve things that are excellent; that ye may be sincere and without offence till the day of Christ; |
| Being filled with the fruits of righteousness, which are by Jesus Christ, unto the glory and praise of God. |
| But I would ye should understand, brethren, that the things which happened unto me have fallen out rather unto the furtherance of the gospel; |
| So that my bonds in Christ are manifest in all the palace, and in all other places; |
| And many of the brethren in the Lord, waxing confident by my bonds, are much more bold to speak the word without fear. |
| Some indeed preach Christ even of envy and strife; and some also of good will: |
| The one preach Christ of contention, not sincerely, supposing to add affliction to my bonds: |
| But the other of love, knowing that I am set for the defence of the gospel. |
| What then? notwithstanding, every way, whether in pretence, or in truth, Christ is preached; and I therein do rejoice, yea, and will rejoice. |
| For I know that this shall turn to my salvation through your prayer, and the supply of the Spirit of Jesus Christ, |
| According to my earnest expectation and my hope, that in nothing I shall be ashamed, but that with all boldness, as always, so now also Christ shall be magnified in my body, whether it be by life, or by death. |
| For to me to live is Christ, and to die is gain. |
| But if I live in the flesh, this is the fruit of my labour: yet what I shall choose I wot not. |
| For I am in a strait betwixt two, having a desire to depart, and to be with Christ; which is far better: |
| Nevertheless to abide in the flesh is more needful for you. |
| And having this confidence, I know that I shall abide and continue with you all for your furtherance and joy of faith; |
| That your rejoicing may be more abundant in Jesus Christ for me by my coming to you again. |
| Only let your conversation be as it becometh the gospel of Christ: that whether I come and see you, or else be absent, I may hear of your affairs, that ye stand fast in one spirit, with one mind striving together for the faith of the gospel; |
| And in nothing terrified by your adversaries: which is to them an evident token of perdition, but to you of salvation, and that of God. |
| For unto you it is given in the behalf of Christ, not only to believe on him, but also to suffer for his sake; |
| Having the same conflict which ye saw in me, and now hear to be in me. |
NUNC DIMITTISSecond Canticle
Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, according to thy word.
For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,
Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people;
To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
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
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.
COLLECT FOR PEACE
O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed; Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give; that both our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee we being defended from the fear of our enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness, through the merits of Jesus Christ our Saviour. Amen.
COLLECT FOR AID AGAINST ALL PERILS
Lighten our darkness, we beseech thee, O Lord; and by thy great mercy defend us from all perils and dangers of this night, for the love of thy only Son, our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
