Sunday –
Year 1 Proper 29
Morning Prayer
Their sound has gone out into all lands, and their message to the ends of the world. Psalm 19:4
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 for ever. Amen. Alleluia.
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!
Glory
be 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.

1
Give thanks to the Lord, for he is good; *
his mercy endures for
ever.
2 Let Israel now proclaim, *
"His mercy endures
for ever."
3 Let the house of Aaron now proclaim, *
"His
mercy endures for ever."
4 Let those who fear the Lord
now proclaim, *
"His mercy endures for ever."
5 I
called to the Lord in my distress; *
the Lord answered by setting
me free.
6 The Lord is at my side, therefore I will not fear;
*
what can anyone do to me?
7 The Lord is at my side to
help me; *
I will triumph over those who hate me.
8 It is
better to rely on the Lord *
than to put any trust in flesh.
9
It is better to rely on the Lord *
than to put any trust in
rulers.
10 All the ungodly encompass me; *
in the name of
the Lord I will repel them.
11 They hem me in, they hem me in
on every side; *
in the name of the Lord I will repel them.
12
They swarm about me like bees;
they blaze like a fire of thorns;
*
in the name of the Lord I will repel them.
13 I was
pressed so hard that I almost fell, *
but the Lord came to my
help.
14 The Lord is my strength and my song, *
and he has
become my salvation.
15 There is a sound of exultation and
victory *
in the tents of the righteous:
16 "The right hand of the Lord has
triumphed! *
the right hand of the Lord is exalted!
the right
hand of the Lord has triumphed!"
17 I shall not die, but
live, *
and declare the works of the Lord.
18 The Lord has
punished me sorely, *
but he did not hand me over to death.
19 Open for me the gates of righteousness; *
I will enter
them;
I will offer thanks to the Lord.
20 "This is the
gate of the Lord; *
he who is righteous may enter."
21
I will give thanks to you, for you answered me *
and have become
my salvation.
22 The same stone which the builders rejected
*
has become the chief cornerstone.
23 This is the Lord's
doing, *
and it is marvelous in our eyes.
24 On this day
the Lord has acted; *
we will rejoice and be glad in it.
25 Hosannah, Lord, hosannah! *
Lord, send us now
success.
26 Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord;
*
we bless you from the house of the Lord.
27 God is the
Lord; he has shined upon us; *
form a procession with branches up
to the horns of the altar.
28 "You are my God, and I will thank you; *
you are my
God, and I will exalt you."
29 Give thanks to the Lord,
for he is good; *
his mercy endures for ever.
Glory to the
Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the
beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
On that day there will be an altar to the Lord in the centre of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to the Lord at its border. It will be a sign and a witness to the Lord of hosts in the land of Egypt; when they cry to the Lord because of oppressors, he will send them a saviour, and will defend and deliver them. The Lord will make himself known to the Egyptians; and the Egyptians will know the Lord on that day, and will worship with sacrifice and burnt-offering, and they will make vows to the Lord and perform them. The Lord will strike Egypt, striking and healing; they will return to the Lord, and he will listen to their supplications and heal them.
On that day there will be a highway from Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian will come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria, and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.
On that day Israel will be the third with Egypt and Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth, whom the Lord of hosts has blessed, saying, ‘Blessed be Egypt my people, and Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my heritage.’
The
Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Canticle 16
Blessed be the
Lord, the God of Israel;*
he has come to his people and set them
free.
He has raised up
for us a mighty savior,*
born of the house of his servant
David.
Through his holy prophets he promised of old,
that he would
save us from our enemies,*
from the hands of all who hate us.
he promised to
show mercy to our fathers*
and to remember his holy covenant.
This was the oath
he swore to our father Abraham,*
to set us free from the hands of
our enemies,
Free to worship
him without fear,*
holy and righteous in his sight
all the days
of our life.
You, my child,
shall be called the prophet of the Most High,*
for you will go
before the Lord to prepare his way,
To give his
people knowledge of salvation*
by the forgiveness of their sins.
In the tender
compassion of our God*
the dawn from on high shall break upon us,
To
shine on those who dwell in darkness and the shadow of death,*
and
to guide our feet into the way of peace.
Glory to the Father,
and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit
as it was in the beginning,
is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Reading
May the God of steadfastness and encouragement grant you to live in harmony with one another, in accordance with Christ Jesus, so that together you may with one voice glorify the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you,
for the glory of God. For I tell you that Christ has become a servant
of the circumcised on behalf of the truth of God in order that he
might confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in order that
the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is
written,
‘Therefore I will confess*
you among the Gentiles,
and sing praises to your
name’;
and again he says,
‘Rejoice, O Gentiles,
with his people’;
and again,
‘Praise the Lord, all
you Gentiles,
and let all the peoples
praise him’;
and again Isaiah says,
‘The root
of Jesse shall come,
the one who rises to rule
the Gentiles;
in him the Gentiles shall hope.’
May
the God of hope fill you with all joy and peace in believing, so that
you may abound in hope by the power of the Holy Spirit.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
Canticle 21
You are God: we
praise you;
You are the Lord; we acclaim you;
You are the
eternal Father:
All creation worships you.
To you all angels,
all the powers of heaven,
Cherubim and Seraphim, sing in endless
praise:
Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might,
heaven
and earth are full of your glory.
The glorious company of apostles
praise you.
The noble fellowship of prophets praise you.
The
white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
Throughout the world the
holy Church acclaims you;
Father, of majesty unbounded,
your
true and only Son, worthy of all worship,
and the Holy Spirit,
advocate and guide.
You, Christ, are the king of glory,
the
eternal Son of the Father.
When you became man to set us free
you
did not shun the Virgin's womb.
You overcame the sting of
death
and opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
You
are seated at God's right hand in glory.
We believe that you will
come and be our judge.
Come then, Lord, and help your
people,
bought with the price of your own blood,
and bring us
with your saints
to glory everlasting.
Glory
to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit*
as it was
in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
I believe in God,
the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in
Jesus Christ, his only son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the
power of the Holy Spirit
and born of the Virgin Mary.
He
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
was crucified, died, and was
buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose
again.
He ascended into heaven,
and is seated at the right
hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the
dead.
I believe in the
Holy Spirit,
the holy catholic Church,
the communion of
saints,
the forgiveness of sins,
the resurrection of the
body,
and the life everlasting. Amen.
The
Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
Our Father in
heaven,
hallowed be your Name,
your kingdom come,
your will
be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our
daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those
who sin
against us.
Save us from the
time of trial,
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom,
the power,
and the glory are yours,
now and for ever. Amen.
Show us your mercy, O Lord;
And grant us your salvation.
Clothe your ministers with righteousness;
Let your people sing with joy.
Give peace, O Lord, in all the world;
For only in you can we live in safety.
Lord, keep this nation under your care;
And guide us in the way of justice and truth.
Let your way be known upon earth;
Your saving health among all nations.
Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten;
Nor the hope of the poor be taken away.
Create in us clean hearts, O God;
And sustain us with your Holy Spirit.
Collect of the Day: Pentecost, proper 29
Almighty and everlasting God, whose will it is to restore all things in your well-beloved Son, the King of kings and Lord of lords: Mercifully grant that the peoples of the earth, divided and enslaved by sin, may be freed and brought together under his most gracious rule; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
A Collect for Sundays
O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.
For Mission
Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of your faithful people is governed and sanctified: Receive our supplications and prayers which we offer before you for all members of your holy Church, that in their vocation and ministry they may truly and devoutly serve you; through our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. Amen.
Let us pray now for our own needs and those of others.
General Thanksgiving
Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made. We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ; for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages.
