The Third Week of Advent

The glory of the Lord shall be revealed, and all flesh shall see it together.
Isaiah 40:5

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.

In Advent
Our King and Savior now draws near: Come let us adore him.

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 90 Domine, refugium

1

Lord, you have been our refuge *

from one generation to another.

2

Before the mountains were brought forth,

or the land and the earth were born, *

from age to age you are God.

3

You turn us back to the dust and say, *

“Go back, O child of earth.”

4

For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past *

and like a watch in the night.

5

You sweep us away like a dream; *

we fade away suddenly like the grass.

6

In the morning it is green and flourishes; *

in the evening it is dried up and withered.

7

For we consume away in your displeasure; *

we are afraid because of your wrathful i
