Psalm 104:25 (BCP)   Confession Officiant: Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God. People: Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against your 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 apart from your grace, there is no health in us.  O Lord, have mercy upon us. Spare all those who confess their faults. Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord. And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of your holy Name. Amen. Officiant: Almighty God have mercy on us, forgive us all our sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen us in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep us in eternal life. Amen.   The Lord’s Prayer Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those 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.   Invitatory & Psalms Officiant: O God, make speed to save us.  People: O Lord, make haste to help us.  Officiant & People: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:  as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.   Septuagesima Lord, you have been our refuge: From one generation to another.   Venite Psalm 95:1-7 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 hand 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. Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *  and kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *  Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!   Psalm 2 Quare fremuerunt gentes? 1 Why are the nations in an uproar? * Why do the peoples mutter empty threats? 2 Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt, and the princes plot together, * against the Lord and against his Anointed? 3 “Let us break their yoke,” they say; * “let us cast off their bonds from us.” 4 He whose throne is in heaven is laughing; * the Lord has them in derision. 5 Then he speaks to them in his wrath, * and his rage fills them with terror. 6 “I myself have set my king * upon my holy hill of Zion.” 7 Let me announce the decree of the Lord: * he said to me, “You are my Son; this day have I begotten you. 8 Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance * and the ends of the earth for your possession. 9 You shall crush them with an iron rod * and shatter them like a piece of pottery.” 10 And now, you kings, be wise; * be warned, you rulers of the earth. 11 Submit to the Lord with fear, * and with trembling bow before him; 12 Lest he be angry and you perish; * for his wrath is quickly kindled. 13 Happy are they all * who take refuge in him!   Psalm 3 Domine, quid multiplicati 1 Lord, how many adversaries I have! * how many there are who rise up against me! 2 How many there are who say of me, * “There is no help for him in his God.” 3 But you, O Lord, are a shield about me; * you are my glory, the one who lifts up my head. 4 I call aloud upon the Lord, * and he answers me from his holy hill; 5 I lie down and go to sleep; * I wake again, because the Lord sustains me. 6 I do not fear the multitudes of people * who set themselves against me all around. 7 Rise up, O Lord; set me free, O my God; * surely, you will strike all my enemies across the face, you will break the teeth of the wicked. 8 Deliverance belongs to the Lord. * Your blessing be upon your people!   Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:  as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.   The Lessons ...
