Opening Words:

“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty, who was and is and is to come!”

Rev 4:8 (ESV)

Confession:*

Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.

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.

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

The Invitatory

O Lord, open our lips,
and our mouths shall show forth your praise. 
Create in us clean hearts, O God, 
and renew a right spirit within us. 
Cast us not away from your presence, 
and take not your holy Spirit from us. 
O give us the comfort of your help again, 
and sustain us with your willing Spirit.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

2

Sing to the Lord and bless his Name; *

proclaim the good news of his salvation from day to day.

3

Declare his glory among the nations *

and his wonders among all peoples.

4

For great is the Lord and greatly to be praised; *

he is more to be feared than all gods.

5

As for all the gods of the nations, they are but idols; *

but it is the Lord who made the heavens.

6

Oh, the majesty and magnificence of his presence! *

Oh, the power and the splendor of his sanctuary!

7

Ascribe to the Lord, you families of the peoples; *

ascribe to the Lord honor and power.

8

Ascribe to the Lord the honor due his Name; *

bring offerings and come into his courts.

9

Worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness; *

let the whole earth tremble before him.

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: *
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

The Lessons

Isaiah 45:1-7

English Standard Version

45 Thus says the Lord to his anointed, to Cyrus,
    whose right hand I have grasped,
to subdue nations before him
    and to loose the belts of kings,
to open doors before him
    that gates may not be closed:
2 “I will go before you
    and level the exalted places,
I will break in pieces the doors of bronze
    and cut through the bars of iron,
3 I will give you the treasures of darkness
    and the hoards in secret places,
that you may know t
