Opening Words:

Watch, for you know not when the master of the house will come, in the evening, or at midnight, or at cockcrow, or in the morning; lest he come suddenly and find you asleep.
Mark 13:35, 36

Confession:

Let us humbly confess our sins unto Almighty God.

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your 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

Lord, open our lips.
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

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. Alleluia.

Venite (Psalm 95:1-7)

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

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!

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

The Psalter

Psalm 61

Exaudi, Deus

BCP p. 668

Hear my cry, O God, *

and listen to my prayer.

2

I call upon you from the ends of the earth

with heaviness in my heart; *

set me upon the rock that is higher than I.

3

For you have been my refuge, *

a strong tower against the enemy.

4

I will dwell in your house for ever; *

I will take refuge under the cover of your wings.

5

For you, O God, have heard my vows; *

you have granted me the heritage of those who fear your Name.

6

Add length of days to the king’s life; *

let his years extend over many generations.

7

Let him sit enthroned before God for ever; *

bid love and faithfulness watch over him.

8

So will I always sing the praise of your Name, *

and day by day I will fulfill my vows.

Psalm 62

Nonne Deo?

BCP p. 669

For God alone my soul in silence waits; *

from him comes my salvation.

2

He alone is my rock and my salvation, *

my stronghold, so that I shall not be greatly shaken.

3

How long will you assail me to crush me,

all of you together, *

as if you were a leaning fence, a toppling wall?

4

They seek only to bring me down from my place of honor; *

lies are
