Opening Words:

The Word became flesh and dwelt among us, full of grace and truth.
John 1:14

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 68:1-19

1

Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; *

let those who hate him flee before him.

2

Let them vanish like smoke when the wind drives it away; *

as the wax melts at the fire, so let the wicked perish at the presence of God.

3

But let the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; *

let them also be merry and joyful.

4

Sing to God, sing praises to his Name;

exalt him who rides upon the heavens; *

Yhwh is his Name, rejoice before him!

5

Father of orphans, defender of widows, *

God in his holy habitation!

6

God gives the solitary a home and brings forth prisoners into freedom; *

but the rebels shall live in dry places.

7

O God, when you went forth before your people, *

when you marched through the wilderness,

8

The earth shook, and the skies poured down rain,

at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, *

at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

9

You sent a gracious rain, O God, upon your inheritance; *

you refreshed the land when it was weary.

10

Your people found their home in it; *

in your goodness, O God, you have made provision for the poor.

11

The Lord gave the word; *

great was the company of women who bore the tidings:

12

“Kings with their armies are fleeing away; *

the women at home are dividing the spoils.”

13

Though you lingered among the sheepfolds, *

you shall be like a dove whose wings are covered with silver,

whose feathers are like green gold.
