1 CORINTHIANS 15:57
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, how they are increased who trouble me;* many are those who rise against me. 2 Many there are who say of my soul,* "There is no help for him in his God." 3 But you, O Lord, are my defender;* you are my glory, and the one who lifts up my head. 4 I called upon the Lord with my voice,* and he heard me from his holy hill. 5 I lay down and slept, and rose up again,* for the Lord sustained me. 6 I will not be afraid of ten thousands of the people* who have set themselves against me round about. 7 Rise up, O Lord, and help me, O my God;* for you smite all my enemies on the cheek-bone; you have broken the teeth of the ungodly. 8 Salvation belongs to the Lord;* may your blessing be upon your people. 1 Hear me when I call, O God of my righteousness;* you set me free when I was in trouble; have mercy upon me, and hear my prayer. 2 O you children of men, how long will you blaspheme my honor,* and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after falsehood? 3 Know this also, that the Lord has chosen for himself the one that is godly;* when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me. 4 Stand in awe, and sin not;* commune with your own heart upon your bed, and be still. 5 Offer the sacrifice of righteousness* and put your trust in the Lord. 6 There are many that say, "Who will show us any good?"* Lord, lift up the light of your countenance upon us. 7 You have put gladness in my heart,* more than when others' grain and wine and oil increased. 8 I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest;* for you, Lord, only, make me dwell in safety. 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 “I have made a covenant with my eyes; 5 “If I have walked with falsehood 9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, 13 “If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, 16 “If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, 24 “If I have made gold my trust 29 “If I have rejoiced at the ruin of him who hated me, 38 “If my land has cried out against me The words of Job are ended. The lesson is read, the people sitting “I have made a covenant with my eyes; 5 “If I have walked with falsehood 9 “If my heart has been enticed toward a woman, 13 “If I have rejected the cause of my manservant or my maidservant, 16 “If I have withheld anything that the poor desired, 35 Oh, that I had one to hear me! 38 “If my land has cried out against me The words of Job are ended. The lesson is read, the people sitting “And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. 2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did at Baal-peor, for the Lord your God destroyed from among you all the men who followed the Baal of Peor. 4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are all alive today. 5 See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 6 Keep them and do them, for that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ 7 For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? 8 And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so righteous as all this law that I set before you today? 9 “Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life. Make them known to your children and your children's children— 10 how on the day that you stood before the Lord your God at Horeb, the Lord said to me, ‘Gather the people to me, that I may let them hear my words, so that they may learn to fear me all the days that they live on the earth, and that they may teach their children so.’ 11 And you came near and stood at the foot of the mountain, while the mountain burned with fire to the heart of heaven, wrapped in darkness, cloud, and gloom. 12 Then the Lord spoke to you out of the midst of the fire. You heard the sound of words, but saw no form; there was only a voice. 13 And he declared to you his covenant, which he commanded you to perform, that is, the Ten Commandments, and he wrote them on two tablets of stone. 14 And the Lord commanded me at that time to teach you statutes and rules, that you might do them in the land that you are going over to possess. 15 “Therefore watch yourselves very carefully. Since you saw no form on the day that the Lord spoke to you at Horeb out of the midst of the fire, 16 beware lest you act corruptly by making a carved image for yourselves, in the form of any figure, the likeness of male or female, 17 the likeness of any animal that is on the earth, the likeness of any winged bird that flies in the air, 18 the likeness of anything that creeps on the ground, the likeness of any fish that is in the water under the earth. 19 And beware lest you raise your eyes to heaven, and when you see the sun and the moon and the stars, all the host of heaven, you be drawn away and bow down to them and serve them, things that the Lord your God has allotted to all the peoples under the whole heaven. 20 But the Lord has taken you and brought you out of the iron furnace, out of Egypt, to be a people of his own inheritance, as you are this day. 21 Furthermore, the Lord was angry with me because of you, and he swore that I should not cross the Jordan, and that I should not enter the good land that the Lord your God is giving you for an inheritance. 22 For I must die in this land; I must not go over the Jordan. But you shall go over and take possession of that good land. 23 Take care, lest you forget the covenant of the Lord your God, which he made with you, and make a carved image, the form of anything that the Lord your God has forbidden you. 24 For the Lord your God is a consuming fire, a jealous God. 25 “When you father children and children's children, and have grown old in the land, if you act corruptly by making a carved image in the form of anything, and by doing what is evil in the sight of the Lord your God, so as to provoke him to anger, 26 I call heaven and earth to witness against you today, that you will soon utterly perish from the land that you are going over the Jordan to possess. You will not live long in it, but will be utterly destroyed. 27 And the Lord will scatter you among the peoples, and you will be left few in number among the nations where the Lord will drive you. 28 And there you will serve gods of wood and stone, the work of human hands, that neither see, nor hear, nor eat, nor smell. 29 But from there you will seek the Lord your God and you will find him, if you search after him with all your heart and with all your soul. 30 When you are in tribulation, and all these things come upon you in the latter days, you will return to the Lord your God and obey his voice. 31 For the Lord your God is a merciful God. He will not leave you or destroy you or forget the covenant with your fathers that he swore to them. 32 “For ask now of the days that are past, which were before you, since the day that God created man on the earth, and ask from one end of heaven to the other, whether such a great thing as this has ever happened or was ever heard of. 33 Did any people ever hear the voice of a god speaking out of the midst of the fire, as you have heard, and still live? 34 Or has any god ever attempted to go and take a nation for himself from the midst of another nation, by trials, by signs, by wonders, and by war, by a mighty hand and an outstretched arm, and by great deeds of terror, all of which the Lord your God did for you in Egypt before your eyes? 35 To you it was shown, that you might know that the Lord is God; there is no other besides him. 36 Out of heaven he let you hear his voice, that he might discipline you. And on earth he let you see his great fire, and you heard his words out of the midst of the fire. 37 And because he loved your fathers and chose their offspring after them and brought you out of Egypt with his own presence, by his great power, 38 driving out before you nations greater and mightier than you, to bring you in, to give you their land for an inheritance, as it is this day, 39 know therefore today, and lay it to your heart, that the Lord is God in heaven above and on the earth beneath; there is no other. 40 Therefore you shall keep his statutes and his commandments, which I command you today, that it may go well with you and with your children after you, and that you may prolong your days in the land that the Lord your God is giving you for all time.” 41 Then Moses set apart three cities in the east beyond the Jordan, 42 that the manslayer might flee there, anyone who kills his neighbor unintentionally, without being at enmity with him in time past; he may flee to one of these cities and save his life: 43 Bezer in the wilderness on the tableland for the Reubenites, Ramoth in Gilead for the Gadites, and Golan in Bashan for the Manassites. 44 This is the law that Moses set before the people of Israel. 45 These are the testimonies, the statutes, and the rules, which Moses spoke to the people of Israel when they came out of Egypt, 46 beyond the Jordan in the valley opposite Beth-peor, in the land of Sihon the king of the Amorites, who lived at Heshbon, whom Moses and the people of Israel defeated when they came out of Egypt. 47 And they took possession of his land and the land of Og, the king of Bashan, the two kings of the Amorites, who lived to the east beyond the Jordan; 48 from Aroer, which is on the edge of the Valley of the Arnon, as far as Mount Sirion (that is, Hermon), 49 together with all the Arabah on the east side of the Jordan as far as the Sea of the Arabah, under the slopes of Pisgah. The lesson is read, the people sitting “And now, O Israel, listen to the statutes and the rules that I am teaching you, and do them, that you may live, and go in and take possession of the land that the Lord, the God of your fathers, is giving you. 2 You shall not add to the word that I command you, nor take from it, that you may keep the commandments of the Lord your God that I command you. 3 Your eyes have seen what the Lord did at Baal-peor, for the Lord your God destroyed from among you all the men who followed the Baal of Peor. 4 But you who held fast to the Lord your God are all alive today. 5 See, I have taught you statutes and rules, as the Lord my God commanded me, that you should do them in the land that you are entering to take possession of it. 6 Keep them and do them, for that will be your wisdom and your understanding in the sight of the peoples, who, when they hear all these statutes, will say, ‘Surely this great nation is a wise and understanding people.’ 7 For what great nation is there that has a god so near to it as the Lord our God is to us, whenever we call upon him? 8 And what great nation is there, that has statutes and rules so righteous as all this law that I set before you today? 9 “Only take care, and keep your soul diligently, lest you forget the things that your eyes have seen, and lest they depart from your heart all the days of your life.

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 Peter, an apostle of Jesus Christ, To those who are elect exiles of the Dispersion in Pontus, Galatia, Cappadocia, Asia, and Bithynia, 2 according to the foreknowledge of God the Father, in the sanctification of the Spirit, for obedience to Jesus Christ and for sprinkling with his blood: May grace and peace be multiplied to you. 3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ! According to his great mercy, he has caused us to be born again to a living hope through the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead, 4 to an inheritance that is imperishable, undefiled, and unfading, kept in heaven for you, 5 who by God's power are being guarded through faith for a salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. 6 In this you rejoice, though now for a little while, if necessary, you have been grieved by various trials, 7 so that the tested genuineness of your faith—more precious than gold that perishes though it is tested by fire—may be found to result in praise and glory and honor at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 8 Though you have not seen him, you love him. Though you do not now see him, you believe in him and rejoice with joy that is inexpressible and filled with glory, 9 obtaining the outcome of your faith, the salvation of your souls. 10 Concerning this salvation, the prophets who prophesied about the grace that was to be yours searched and inquired carefully, 11 inquiring what person or time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating when he predicted the sufferings of Christ and the subsequent glories. 12 It was revealed to them that they were serving not themselves but you, in the things that have now been announced to you through those who preached the good news to you by the Holy Spirit sent from heaven, things into which angels long to look. 13 Therefore, preparing your minds for action, and being sober-minded, set your hope fully on the grace that will be brought to you at the revelation of Jesus Christ. 14 As obedient children, do not be conformed to the passions of your former ignorance, 15 but as he who called you is holy, you also be holy in all your conduct, 16 since it is written, “You shall be holy, for I am holy.” 17 And if you call on him as Father who judges impartially according to each one's deeds, conduct yourselves with fear throughout the time of your exile, 18 knowing that you were ransomed from the futile ways inherited from your forefathers, not with perishable things such as silver or gold, 19 but with the precious blood of Christ, like that of a lamb without blemish or spot. 20 He was foreknown before the foundation of the world but was made manifest in the last times for the sake of you 21 who through him are believers in God, who raised him from the dead and gave him glory, so that your faith and hope are in God.

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 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. The following Canticle is sung or said, all standing O sing unto the LORD a new song, * for he has done marvelous things. With his own right hand, and with his holy arm, * he has won for himself the victory. The LORD declared his salvation; * his righteousness he has openly shown in the sight of the nations. He has remembered his mercy and truth toward the house of Israel,* and all the ends of the world have seen the salvation of our God. Show yourselves joyful unto the LORD, all you lands; * sing, rejoice, and give thanks. Praise the LORD with the harp; * sing with the harp a psalm of thanksgiving. With trumpets also and horns, * O show yourselves joyful before the LORD, the King. Let the sea make a noise, and all that is in it, * the round world, and those that dwell therein. Let the rivers clap their hands, and let the hills be joyful together before the LORD, * for he has come to judge the earth. With righteousness shall he judge the world * and the peoples with equity. 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. Officiant and People together, all standing 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 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 People kneel or stand.

The First Lesson
Job 31
Reader
A reading from the Book of Job, beginning with the thirty-first chapter, the first verse
Job's Final Appeal
how then could I gaze at a virgin?
2 What would be my portion from God above
and my heritage from the Almighty on high?
3 Is not calamity for the unrighteous,
and disaster for the workers of iniquity?
4 Does not he see my ways
and number all my steps?
and my foot has hastened to deceit;
6 (Let me be weighed in a just balance,
and let God know my integrity!)
7 if my step has turned aside from the way
and my heart has gone after my eyes,
and if any spot has stuck to my hands,
8 then let me sow, and another eat,
and let what grows for me be rooted out.
and I have lain in wait at my neighbor's door,
10 then let my wife grind for another,
and let others bow down on her.
11 For that would be a heinous crime;
that would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges;
12 for that would be a fire that consumes as far as Abaddon,
and it would burn to the root all my increase.
when they brought a complaint against me,
14 what then shall I do when God rises up?
When he makes inquiry, what shall I answer him?
15 Did not he who made me in the womb make him?
And did not one fashion us in the womb?
or have caused the eyes of the widow to fail,
17 or have eaten my morsel alone,
and the fatherless has not eaten of it
18 (for from my youth the fatherless grew up with me as with a father,
and from my mother's womb I guided the widow),
19 if I have seen anyone perish for lack of clothing,
or the needy without covering,
20 if his body has not blessed me,
and if he was not warmed with the fleece of my sheep,
21 if I have raised my hand against the fatherless,
because I saw my help in the gate,
22 then let my shoulder blade fall from my shoulder,
and let my arm be broken from its socket.
23 For I was in terror of calamity from God,
and I could not have faced his majesty.
or called fine gold my confidence,
25 if I have rejoiced because my wealth was abundant
or because my hand had found much,
26 if I have looked at the sun when it shone,
or the moon moving in splendor,
27 and my heart has been secretly enticed,
and my mouth has kissed my hand,
28 this also would be an iniquity to be punished by the judges,
for I would have been false to God above.
or exulted when evil overtook him
30 (I have not let my mouth sin
by asking for his life with a curse),
31 if the men of my tent have not said,
‘Who is there that has not been filled with his meat?’
32 (the sojourner has not lodged in the street;
I have opened my doors to the traveler),
33 if I have concealed my transgressions as others do
by hiding my iniquity in my heart,
34 because I stood in great fear of the multitude,
and the contempt of families terrified me,
so that I kept silence, and did not go out of doors—
35 Oh, that I had one to hear me!
(Here is my signature! Let the Almighty answer me!)
Oh, that I had the indictment written by my adversary!
36 Surely I would carry it on my shoulder;
I would bind it on me as a crown;
37 I would give him an account of all my steps;
like a prince I would approach him.
and its furrows have wept together,
39 if I have eaten its yield without payment
and made its owners breathe their last,
40 let thorns grow instead of wheat,
and foul weeds instead of barley.”
