Opening Words:

Behold, the dwelling of God is with mankind. He will dwell with them, and they shall be his people, and God himself will be with them, and be their God.
Revelation 21:3

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.

Jubilate (Psalm 100)

Alleluia. To us a child is born: O come, let us adore him. Alleluia.

Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.

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.

Enter his gates with thanksgiving;
go into his courts with praise; *
give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good;
his mercy is everlasting; *
and his faithfulness endures from age to age.

Alleluia. To us a child is born: O come, let us adore him. Alleluia.

The Psalter

Psalm 2

Quare fremuerunt gentes?

BCP p. 586

Why are the nations in an uproar? *

Why do the peoples mutter empty threats?

2

Why do the kings of the earth rise up in revolt,

and the princes plot together, *

against the Lord and against his Anointed?

3

“Let us break their yoke,” they say; *

“let us cast off their bonds from us.”

4

He whose throne is in heaven is laughing; *

the Lord has them in derision.

5

Then he speaks to them in his wrath, *

and his rage fills them with terror.

6

“I myself have set my king *

upon my holy hill of Zion.”

7

Let me announce the decree of the Lord: *

he said to me, “You are my Son;

this day have I begotten you.

8

Ask of me, and I will give you the nations for your inheritance *

and the ends of the earth for your possession.

9

You shall crush them with an iron rod *

and shatter them like a piece of pottery.”

10

And now, you kings, be wise; *

be warned, you rulers of the earth.

11

Submit to the Lord with fear, *

and with trembling bow before him;

12

Lest he be angry and you perish; *

for his wrath is quickly kindled.

13

Happy are they all *

who take refuge in him!

Psalm 85

Benedixisti, Domine

BCP p. 708

You have been gracious to your land, O Lord, *

you have restored the good fortune of Jacob.
