The Officiant begins the service with one or more of these sentences of Scripture, or with the versicle “Lord, open our lips.”
At any Time
Grace to you and peace from God our Father and the Lord Jesus Christ.Philippians 1:2
At any Time
I was glad when they said to me, “Let us go to the house of the Lord.”Psalm 122:1

The Lord is in his holy temple; let all the earth keep silence before him.Habakkuk 2:20
At any Time
The hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers will worship the Father in spirit and truth, for such the Father seeks to worship him.John 4:23
At any Time
Thus says the high and lofty One who inhabits eternity, whose name is Holy, “I dwell in the high and holy place and also with the one who has a contrite and humble spirit, to revive the spirit of the humble and to revive the heart of the contrite.”Isaiah 57:15
The following Confession of Sin may then be said; or the Office may continue at once with “Lord, open our lips.”
Confession of Sin
The Officiant says to the people
Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of Almighty God our heavenly Father, to set forth his praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation. And so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy.
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
Silence may be kept.
Officiant and People together, all kneeling
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.
The Priest alone stands and says
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.
A deacon or lay person using the preceding form remains kneeling, and substitutes “us” for “you” and “our” for “your.”
The Invitatory and Psalter
All stand
OfficiantLord, open our lips.
PeopleAnd our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Officiant and People
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.
Then follows one of the Invitatory Psalms, Venite or Jubilate.
Venite
Psalm 95:1-7
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!
95
Venite, exultemusBCP p. 7241Come, let us sing to the Lord; *let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
3For the Lord is a great God, *and a great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *and the heights of the hills are his also.
5The sea is his, for he made it, *and his hands have molded the dry land.
6Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7For 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!
8Harden not your hearts, as your forebears did in the wilderness, *at Meribah, and on that day at Massah, when they tempted me.
9They put me to the test, *though they had seen my works.
10Forty years long I detested that generation and said, *“This people are wayward in their hearts; they do not know my ways.”
11So I swore in my wrath, *“They shall not enter into my rest.”
Jubilate
Psalm 100
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.
Then follows
The Psalm or Psalms Appointed
56
Miserere mei, DeusBCP p. 6621Have mercy on me, O God, for my enemies are hounding me; *all day long they assault and oppress me.
2They hound me all the day long; *truly there are many who fight against me, O Most High.
3Whenever I am afraid, *I will put my trust in you.
4In God, whose word I praise, in God I trust and will not be afraid, *for what can flesh do to me?
5All day long they damage my cause; *their only thought is to do me evil.
6They band together; they lie in wait; *they spy upon my footsteps; because they seek my life.
7Shall they escape despite their wickedness? *O God, in your anger, cast down the peoples.
8You have noted my lamentation; put my tears into your bottle; *are they not recorded in your book?
9Whenever I call upon you, my enemies will be put to flight; *this I know, for God is on my side.
10In God the Lord, whose word I praise, in God I trust and will not be afraid, *for what can mortals do to me?
11I am bound by the vow I made to you, O God; *I will present to you thank-offerings;
12For you have rescued my soul from death and my feet from stumbling, *that I may walk before God in the light of the living.
57
Miserere mei, DeusBCP p. 6631Be merciful to me, O God, be merciful, for I have taken refuge in you; *in the shadow of your wings will I take refuge until this time of trouble has gone by.
2I will call upon the Most High God, *the God who maintains my cause.
3He will send from heaven and save me; he will confound those who trample upon me; *God will send forth his love and his faithfulness.
4I lie in the midst of lions that devour the people; *their teeth are spears and arrows, their tongue a sharp sword.
5They have laid a net for my feet, and I am bowed low; *they have dug a pit before me, but have fallen into it themselves.
6Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *and your glory over all the earth.
7My heart is firmly fixed, O God, my heart is fixed; *I will sing and make melody.
8Wake up, my spirit; awake, lute and harp; *I myself will waken the dawn.
9I will confess you among the peoples, O Lord; *I will sing praise to you among the nations.
10For your loving-kindness is greater than the heavens, *and your faithfulness reaches to the clouds.
11Exalt yourself above the heavens, O God, *and your glory over all the earth.
58
Si vere utiqueBCP p. 6641Do you indeed decree righteousness, you rulers? *do you judge the peoples with equity?
2No; you devise evil in your hearts, *and your hands deal out violence in the land.
3The wicked are perverse from the womb; *liars go astray from their birth.
4They are as venomous as a serpent, *they are like the deaf adder which stops its ears,
5Which does not heed the voice of the charmer, *no matter how skillful his charming.
6O God, break their teeth in their mouths; *pull the fangs of the young lions, O Lord.
7Let them vanish like water that runs off; *let them wither like trodden grass.
8Let them be like the snail that melts away, *like a stillborn child that never sees the sun.
9Before they bear fruit, let them be cut down like a brier; *like thorns and thistles let them be swept away.
10The righteous will be glad when they see the vengeance; *they will bathe their feet in the blood of the wicked.
11And they will say, “Surely, there is a reward for the righteous; *surely, there is a God who rules in the earth.”
At the end of the Psalms is sung or said
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.

For the Lord is my stronghold and my sure defense, *and he will be my Savior.
Therefore you shall draw water with rejoicing *from the springs of salvation.
And on that day you shall say, *Give thanks to the Lord and call upon his Name;

The Second Song of Isaiah
Quaerite DominumIsaiah 55:6-11
Seek the Lord while he wills to be found; *call upon him when he draws near.
Let the wicked forsake their ways *and the evil ones their thoughts;
And let them turn to the Lord, and he will have compassion, *and to our God, for he will richly pardon.
For my thoughts are not your thoughts, *nor your ways my ways, says the Lord.
For as the heavens are higher than the earth, *so are my ways higher than your ways, and my thoughts than your thoughts.
For as rain and snow fall from the heavens *and return not again, but water the earth,
Bringing forth life and giving growth, *seed for sowing and bread for eating,
So is my word that goes forth from my mouth; *it will not return to me empty;
But it will accomplish that which I have purposed, *and prosper in that for which I sent it.
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.
The Apostles’ Creed
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 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.

Amen.
A Collect for Peace

Then, unless the Eucharist or a form of general intercession is to follow, one of these prayers for mission is added
O God, you have made of one blood all the peoples of the earth, and sent your blessed Son to preach peace to those who are far off and to those who are near: Grant that people everywhere may seek after you and find you; bring the nations into your fold; pour out your Spirit upon all flesh; and hasten the coming of your kingdom; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
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.
Lord Jesus Christ, you stretched out your arms of love on the hard wood of the cross that everyone might come within the reach of your saving embrace: So clothe us in your Spirit that we, reaching forth our hands in love, may bring those who do not know you to the knowledge and love of you; for the honor of your Name.

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. Amen.
A Prayer of St. Chrysostom
Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: 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.
