Introduction:

Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. 
And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen. 

Come, let us worship God our King.
Come, let us worship Christ, our King and our God.
Come, let us worship Christ among us, our King and our God. 

Holy God,
holy and mighty,
holy immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
(3x)

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 Invitatory:

The Lord is our refuge and strength: O come, let us worship. 

Psalm 51:1-18

Have mercy on me, O God, according to your loving-kindness; in your great compassion blot out my offenses.
Wash me through and through from my wickedness and cleanse me from my sin. 
For I know my transgressions, and my sin is ever before me. 
Against you only have I sinned and done what is evil in your sight. 
And so you are justified when you speak and upright in your judgement. 
Indeed, I have been wicked from my birth, a sinner from my mother’s womb. 
For behold, you look for truth deep within me, and will make me understand wisdom secretly. 
Purge me from my sin, and I shall be pure; wash me, and I shall be clean indeed. 
Make me hear of joy and gladness, that the body you have broken may rejoice. 
Hide your face from my sins and blot out all my iniquities. 
Create in me a clean heart, O God, and renew a right spirit within me. 
Cast me not away from your presence and take not your holy Spirit from me. 
Give me the joy of your saving help again and sustain me with your bountiful Spirit. 
I shall teach your ways to the wicked, and sinners shall return to you. 
Deliver me from death, O God, and my tongue shall sing of your righteousness, O God of my salvation. 
Open my lips, O Lord, and my mouth shall proclaim your praise. 
Had you desired it, I would have offered sacrifice, but you take no delight in burnt-offerings. 
The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit; a broken and contrite heart, O God, you will not despise. 

The Psalm

Psalm 100

Jubilate Deo

1

Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *

serve the Lord with gladness

and come before his presence with a song.

2

Know this: The Lord himself is God; *

he himself has made us, and we are his;

we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.

3

Enter his gates with thanksgiving;

go into his courts with praise; *

give thanks to him and call upon his Name.

4

For the Lord is good;

his mercy is everlasting; *

and his faithfulness endures from age to age.

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 Proclamation of the Word

Ezekiel 34:11-16

English Standard Version

“For thus says the Lord God: Behold, I, I myself will search for my sheep and will seek them out. As a shepherd seeks out his flock when he is among his sheep that have been scattered, so will I seek out my sheep, and I will rescue them from all places where they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. And I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land. And I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the ravines, and in all th
