Lent

Let my prayer be set forth in your sight as incense, the lifting up of my hands as the evening sacrifice.

Psalm 141:2

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.

O Gracious Light Phos hilaron

O gracious Light, 
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven, O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!

Now as we come to the setting of the sun, 
and our eyes behold the vesper light, 
we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices, 
O Son of God, O Giver of life,
and to be glorified through all the worlds.

Psalm 116

Dilexi, quoniam

1

I love the Lord, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, *

because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.

2

The cords of death entangled me;

the grip of the grave took hold of me; *

I came to grief and sorrow.

3

Then I called upon the Name of the Lord: *

“O Lord, I pray you, save my life.”

4

Gracious is the Lord and righteous; *

our God is full of compassion.

5

The Lord watches over the innocent; *

I was brought very low, and he helped me.

6

Turn again to your rest, O my soul, *

for the Lord has treated you well.

7

For you have rescued my life from death, *

my eyes from tears, and my feet from stumbling.

8

I will walk in the presence of the Lord *

in the land of the living.

9

I believed, even when I said,

“I have been brought very low.” *

In my distress I said, “No one can be trusted.”

10

How shall I repay the Lord *

for all the good things he has done for me
