JOHN 8:12
Confession of Sin
The Officiant says to the People
Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.
Dearly beloved, the Scriptures teach us to acknowledge our many sins and offenses, not concealing them from our heavenly Father, but confessing them with humble and obedient hearts that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy. We ought at all times humbly to acknowledge our sins before Almighty God, but especially when we come together in his presence to give thanks for the great benefits we have received at his hands, to declare his most worthy praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things which are necessary for our life and our salvation. Therefore, draw near with me to the throne of heavenly grace.
Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.
Silence is kept. All kneeling, the Officiant and People say
Almighty and most merciful Father,
we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep.
We have followed too much the devices and desires
of our own hearts.
We have offended against your holy laws.
We have left undone those things which we ought to have done,
and we have done those things which we ought not
to have done;
and apart from your grace, there is no health in us.
O Lord, have mercy upon us.
Spare all those who confess their faults.
Restore all those who are penitent, according to your promises
declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.
And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake,
that we may now live a godly, righteous, and sober life,
to the glory of your holy Name. Amen.
A Deacon or layperson remains kneeling and prays
Grant to your faithful people, merciful Lord, pardon and peace; that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve you with a quiet mind; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Priest alone stands and says
The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit.Amen.
Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, desires not the death of sinners, but that they may turn from their wickedness and live. He has empowered and commanded his ministers to pronounce to his people, being penitent, the absolution and remission of their sins. He pardons and absolves all who truly repent and genuinely believe his holy Gospel. For this reason, we beseech him to grant us true repentance and his Holy Spirit, that our present deeds may please him, the rest of our lives may be pure and holy, and that at the last we may come to his eternal joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit. Amen.

PHOS HILARON
O Gladsome Light
O gladsome light,
pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,*
O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!
Now as we come to the setting of the sun,
and our eyes behold the vesper light,*
we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices,*
O Son of God, O Giver of Life, and to be glorified through all the worlds. 1 Lord, you have been gracious to your land;* you have turned away the captivity of Jacob. 2 You have forgiven the offence of your people* and covered all their sins. 3 You have taken away all your displeasure* and turned yourself from your wrathful indignation. 4 Restore us then, O God our Savior,* and let your anger cease from us. 5 Will you be displeased at us for ever,* and will you stretch out your wrath from one generation to another? 6 Will you not turn again and quicken us,* that your people may rejoice in you? 7 Show us your mercy, O Lord,* and grant us your salvation. 8 I will hearken to what the Lord God will say,* for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not again. 9 For his salvation is near to those who fear him,* that glory may dwell in our land. 10 Mercy and truth have met together;* righteousness and peace have kissed each other. 11 Truth shall flourish out of the earth,* and righteousness shall look down from heaven. 12 Indeed, the Lord shall show goodness,* and our land shall give its increase. 13 Righteousness shall go before him,* and he shall direct his going in the way. 1 I will love you, O Lord my strength;* the Lord is my rock, my stronghold, and my deliverer, 2 My Savior, my God, and my might in whom I will trust,* my buckler, the horn of my salvation, and my refuge. 3 I will call upon the Lord, who is worthy to be praised;* so shall I be safe from my enemies. 4 The waves of death encompassed me;* the floods that would swallow me up made me afraid. 5 The cords of the grave surrounded me;* the snares of death overtook me. 6 In my trouble I called upon the Lord* and cried unto my God for help. 7 From his holy temple he heard my voice.* My complaint came before him; it entered into his ears. 8 The earth trembled and quaked;* the very foundations of the hills shook and were removed, because he was angry. 9 There went out smoke from his nostrils and a consuming fire out of his mouth;* coals of fire issued from his presence. 10 He parted the heavens also and came down,* and it was dark under his feet. 11 He rode upon the cherubim and flew;* he came flying upon the wings of the wind. 12 He made darkness his secret place;* dark waters and thick clouds were his covering round about him. 13 At the brightness of his presence his clouds broke forth:* hailstones and coals of fire. 14 The Lord also thundered out of heaven, and the Most High gave forth his voice:* hailstones and coals of fire. 15 He sent out his arrows and scattered them;* he cast forth lightning and destroyed them. 16 The springs of water were seen, and the foundations of the world were uncovered,* at your rebuke, O Lord, at the blasting of the breath of your displeasure. 17 He reached down from on high to grasp me,* and he took me out of many waters. 18 He delivered me from my strongest enemy, and from those who hated me,* for they were too mighty for me. 19 They confronted me in the day of my trouble,* but the Lord upheld me. 20 He brought me forth into a place of liberty;* he delivered me, because I had found favor in his eyes. 21 The Lord rewarded me according to my righteous dealing;* according to the cleanness of my hands he recompensed me, 22 Because I had kept the ways of the Lord* and had not forsaken my God, as the wicked do. 23 For I had an eye unto all his laws* and did not cast out his commandments from me. 24 I was also uncorrupt before him* and kept myself from my own wickedness. 25 Therefore the Lord rewarded me according to my righteous dealing,* and according to the cleanness of my hands in his sight. 26 With the faithful you show yourself faithful,* and with the upright you show yourself upright. 27 With the pure you show yourself pure,* but with the crooked you show yourself shrewd. 28 For you shall save the people who are in adversity,* but shall bring down the high looks of the proud. 29 You also shall light my lamp;* the Lord my God shall turn my darkness into light. 30 For with you I shall crush a host of men,* and with the help of my God I can leap over a wall. 31 The way of God is an undefiled way; the word of the Lord also is tried in the fire;* he is the defender of all those who put their trust in him. 32 For who is God, but the Lord,* or who is a rock, except our God? 33 It is God who girds me with strength for war* and makes my way perfect. 34 He makes my feet like the feet of a deer* and sets me up on high. 35 He teaches my hands to fight,* and my arms shall bend even a bow of bronze. 36 You have given me the shield of your salvation;* your right hand also shall hold me up, and your loving correction shall make me great. 37 You have made a broad path for my feet,* and my footsteps shall not slip. 38 I will follow my enemies and overtake them;* I will not turn again until I have destroyed them. 39 I will smite them, and they shall not be able to stand.* They shall fall under my feet. 40 You have girded me with strength for the battle;* you shall throw down my enemies under me. 41 You have made my enemies turn their backs upon me,* and I shall destroy those who hate me. 42 They shall cry, but there shall be none to help them;* even unto the Lord shall they cry, but he shall not hear them. 43 I will beat them as small as dust before the wind;* I will tread them down as mire in the streets. 44 You shall deliver me from the strivings of the peoples,* and you shall make me the head of the nations. 45 A people whom I have not known* shall be in subjection under me. 46 As soon as they hear of me, they shall obey me;* and foreigners shall cringe before me. 47 Foreigners shall lose heart,* and, being afraid, shall come out of their strongholds. 48 The Lord lives, and blessed be my rock,* and praised be the God of my salvation, 49 Even the God who sees that I am avenged* and subdues the peoples under me. 50 It is he who delivers me from my cruel enemies, and lifts me up above my adversaries;* you shall rid me of the wicked. 51 For this cause will I give thanks unto you, O Lord, among the nations,* and sing praises unto your Name. 52 Great prosperity he gives unto his King,* and shows loving-kindness to David his Anointed, and unto his seed for evermore. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. The lesson is read, the people sitting The word of the Lord that came to Hosea, the son of Beeri, in the days of Uzziah, Jotham, Ahaz, and Hezekiah, kings of Judah, and in the days of Jeroboam the son of Joash, king of Israel. 2 When the Lord first spoke through Hosea, the Lord said to Hosea, “Go, take to yourself a wife of whoredom and have children of whoredom, for the land commits great whoredom by forsaking the Lord.” 3 So he went and took Gomer, the daughter of Diblaim, and she conceived and bore him a son. 4 And the Lord said to him, “Call his name Jezreel, for in just a little while I will punish the house of Jehu for the blood of Jezreel, and I will put an end to the kingdom of the house of Israel. 5 And on that day I will break the bow of Israel in the Valley of Jezreel.” 6 She conceived again and bore a daughter. And the Lord said to him, “Call her name No Mercy, for I will no more have mercy on the house of Israel, to forgive them at all. 7 But I will have mercy on the house of Judah, and I will save them by the Lord their God. I will not save them by bow or by sword or by war or by horses or by horsemen.” 8 When she had weaned No Mercy, she conceived and bore a son. 9 And the Lord said, “Call his name Not My People, for you are not my people, and I am not your God.” 10 Yet the number of the children of Israel shall be like the sand of the sea, which cannot be measured or numbered. And in the place where it was said to them, “You are not my people,” it shall be said to them, “Children of the living God.” 11 And the children of Judah and the children of Israel shall be gathered together, and they shall appoint for themselves one head. And they shall go up from the land, for great shall be the day of Jezreel. The following Canticle is sung or said, all standing My soul magnifies the Lord,* and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior; For he has regarded* the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from now on,* all generations will call me blessed; For he that is mighty has magnified me,* and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on those who fear him,* throughout all generations. He has shown the strength of his arm;* he has scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He has brought down the mighty from their thrones,* and has exalted the humble and meek. He has filled the hungry with good things,* and the rich he has sent empty away. He, remembering his mercy, has helped his servant Israel,* as he promised to our fathers, Abraham and his seed for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. The following Canticle is sung or said, all standing I will sing to the LORD, for he is lofty and uplifted; * the horse and its rider has he hurled into the sea. The LORD is my strength and my refuge; * the LORD has become my Savior. This is my God and I will praise him, * the God of my people and I will exalt him. The LORD is a mighty warrior; * The LORD is his Name. The chariots of Pharaoh and his army has he hurled into the sea; * the finest of those who bear armor have been drowned in the Red Sea. The fathomless deep has overwhelmed them; * they sank into the depths like a stone. Your right hand, O LORD, is glorious in might; * your right hand, O LORD, has overthrown the enemy. Who can be compared with you, O LORD, among the gods? * Who is like you, glorious in holiness, awesome in renown, and worker of wonders? You stretched forth your right hand; * the earth swallowed them up. With your constant love you led the people you redeemed; * you brought them in safety to your holy dwelling. You will bring them in and plant them * on the mount of your possession, The resting-place you have made for yourself, O LORD, * the sanctuary, O LORD, that your hand has established. The LORD shall reign * for ever and for ever. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

The lesson is read, the people sitting After this Jesus went about in Galilee. He would not go about in Judea, because the Jews were seeking to kill him. 2 Now the Jews' Feast of Booths was at hand. 3 So his brothers said to him, “Leave here and go to Judea, that your disciples also may see the works you are doing. 4 For no one works in secret if he seeks to be known openly. If you do these things, show yourself to the world.” 5 For not even his brothers believed in him. 6 Jesus said to them, “My time has not yet come, but your time is always here. 7 The world cannot hate you, but it hates me because I testify about it that its works are evil. 8 You go up to the feast. I am not going up to this feast, for my time has not yet fully come.” 9 After saying this, he remained in Galilee. 10 But after his brothers had gone up to the feast, then he also went up, not publicly but in private. 11 The Jews were looking for him at the feast, and saying, “Where is he?” 12 And there was much muttering about him among the people. While some said, “He is a good man,” others said, “No, he is leading the people astray.” 13 Yet for fear of the Jews no one spoke openly of him. 14 About the middle of the feast Jesus went up into the temple and began teaching. 15 The Jews therefore marveled, saying, “How is it that this man has learning, when he has never studied?” 16 So Jesus answered them, “My teaching is not mine, but his who sent me. 17 If anyone's will is to do God's will, he will know whether the teaching is from God or whether I am speaking on my own authority. 18 The one who speaks on his own authority seeks his own glory; but the one who seeks the glory of him who sent him is true, and in him there is no falsehood. 19 Has not Moses given you the law? Yet none of you keeps the law. Why do you seek to kill me?” 20 The crowd answered, “You have a demon! Who is seeking to kill you?” 21 Jesus answered them, “I did one work, and you all marvel at it. 22 Moses gave you circumcision (not that it is from Moses, but from the fathers), and you circumcise a man on the Sabbath. 23 If on the Sabbath a man receives circumcision, so that the law of Moses may not be broken, are you angry with me because on the Sabbath I made a man's whole body well? 24 Do not judge by appearances, but judge with right judgment.” The following Canticle is sung or said, all standing Lord, now let your servant depart in peace,* according to your word. For my eyes have seen your salvation,* which you have prepared before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles,* and to be the glory of your people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; * as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

O let the nations rejoice and be glad, * for you shall judge the peoples righteously, and govern the nations upon earth. Let the peoples praise you, O God; * let all the peoples praise you. Then shall the earth bring forth her increase, * and God, even our own God, shall give us his blessing. God shall bless us, * and all the ends of the world shall fear him.

Amen. Most loving Father, you will us to give thanks for all things, to dread nothing but the loss of you, and to cast all our care on the One who cares for us.

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. Amen. Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time, with one accord to make our common supplications to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will grant their requests: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen. May the God of hope fill us with all joy and peace in believing through the power of the Holy Spirit. Amen. The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore. Amen.The Psalm Appointed
