Our help is in the Name of the Lord; The maker of heaven and earth.

Officiant and People Almighty God, our heavenly Father: We have sinned against you, through our own fault, in thought, and word, and deed, and in what we have left undone. For the sake of your Son our Lord Jesus Christ, forgive us all our offenses; and grant that we may serve you in newness of life, to the glory of your Name. Amen. Officiant May the Almighty God grant us forgiveness of all our sins, and the grace and comfort of the Holy Spirit. Amen.

PSALM 130

Out of the depths have I called to you; O God, hear my voice; * let your ears consider well the voice of my supplication.

If you were to note what is done amiss, * O God, who could stand?

For there is forgiveness with you, * therefore you shall be feared.

I wait for you, O God; my soul waits for you; * in your word is my hope.

My soul waits for you, more than sentries for the morning, * more than sentries for the morning.

O Israel, wait upon God, * for with God there is mercy.

With God there is plenteous redemption; * God shall redeem Israel from all their sins.

PSALM 116:10-17

How shall I repay God * for all the good things done for me?

I will lift up the cup of salvation * and call upon the Name of God.

I will fulfill my vows to God * in the presence of all people.

Precious in your sight, O God, * is the death of your servants.

4

O God, I am your servant; * I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.

I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving * and call upon your holy Name.

I will fulfill my vows to you * in the presence of all your people,

In the courts of God’s house, * in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Alleluia!

Praise to the holy and undivided Trinity, one God: as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen. Alleluia!

A READING FROM SCRIPTURE ISAIAH 25:6-9

On this mountain the Lord of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-matured wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-matured wines strained clear. And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death for ever. Then the Lord God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the Lord has spoken. It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is the Lord for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

All Thanks be to God.
