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.

Nicholas Ferrar

Lord God, make us worthy of your perfect love; that, with your deacon Nicholas Ferrar and his household, we may rule ourselves according to your Word, and serve you with our whole heart; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Eripe me, DomineBCP p. 796

1Deliver me, O Lord, from evildoers; *protect me from the violent,

2Who devise evil in their hearts *and stir up strife all day long.

3They have sharpened their tongues like a serpent; *adder’s poison is under their lips.

4Keep me, O Lord, from the hands of the wicked; *protect me from the violent, who are determined to trip me up.

5The proud have hidden a snare for me and stretched out a net of cords; *they have set traps for me along the path.

6I have said to the Lord, “You are my God; *listen, O Lord, to my supplication.

7O Lord God, the strength of my salvation, *you have covered my head in the day of battle.

8Do not grant the desires of the wicked, O Lord, *nor let their evil plans prosper.

9Let not those who surround me lift up their heads; *let the evil of their lips overwhelm them.

10Let hot burning coals fall upon them; *let them be cast into the mire, never to rise up again.”

11A slanderer shall not be established on the earth, *and evil shall hunt down the lawless.

12I know that the Lord will maintain the cause of the poor *and render justice to the needy.

13Surely, the righteous will give thanks to your Name, *and the upright shall continue in your sight.

Voce mea ad DominusBCP p. 798

1I cry to the Lord with my voice; *to the Lord I make loud supplication.

2I pour out my complaint before him *and tell him all my trouble.

3When my spirit languishes within me, you know my path; *in the way wherein I walk they have hidden a trap for me.

4I look to my right hand and find no one who knows me; *I have no place to flee to, and no one cares for me.

5I cry out to you, O Lord; *I say, “You are my refuge, my portion in the land of the living.”

6Listen to my cry for help, for I have been brought very low; *save me from those who pursue me, for they are too strong for me.

7Bring me out of prison, that I may give thanks to your Name; *when you have dealt bountifully with me, the righteous will gather around me.

Rom. 15:7-13

7 Welcome one another, therefore, just as Christ has welcomed you, for the glory of God. 8 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, 9 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”; 10 and again he says, “Rejoice, O Gentiles, with his people”; 11 and again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the peoples praise him”; 12 and again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse shall come, the one who rises to rule the Gentiles; in him the Gentiles shall hope.” 13 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.

Luke 19:28-40

28 After he had said this, he went on ahead, going up to Jerusalem. 29 When he had come near Bethphage and Bethany, at the place called the Mount of Olives, he sent two of the disciples, 30 saying, “Go into the village ahead of you, and as you enter it you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden. Untie it and bring it here. 31 If anyone asks you, ‘Why are you untying it?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it.’” 32 So those who were sent departed and found it as he had told them. 33 As they were untying the colt, its owners asked them, “Why are you untying the colt?” 34 They said, “The Lord needs it.” 35 Then they brought it to Jesus; and after throwing their cloaks on the colt, they set Jesus on it. 36 As he rode along, people kept spreading their cloaks on the road. 37 As he was now approaching the path down from the Mount of Olives, the whole multitude of the disciples began to praise God joyfully with a loud voice for all the deeds of power that they had seen, 38 saying, “Blessed is the king who comes in the name of the Lord! Peace in heaven, and glory in the highest heaven!” 39 Some of the Pharisees in the crowd said to him, “Teacher, order your disciples to stop.” 40 He answered, “I tell you, if these were silent, the stones would shout out.”

Zech. 14:1-11

1 See, a day is coming for the Lord, when the plunder taken from you will be divided in your midst. 2 For I will gather all the nations against Jerusalem to battle, and the city shall be taken and the houses looted and the women raped; half the city shall go into exile, but the rest of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3 Then the Lord will go forth and fight against those nations as when he fights on a day of battle. 4 On that day his feet shall stand on the Mount of Olives, which lies before Jerusalem on the east; and the Mount of Olives shall be split in two from east to west by a very wide valley; so that one half of the Mount shall withdraw northward, and the other half southward. 5 And you shall flee by the valley of the Lord’s mountain, for the valley between the mountains shall reach to Azal; and you shall flee as you fled from the earthquake in the days of King Uzziah of Judah. Then the Lord my God will come, and all the holy ones with him. 6 On that day there shall not be either cold or frost. 7 And there shall be continuous day (it is known to the Lord), not day and not night, for at evening time there shall be light. 8 On that day living waters shall flow out from Jerusalem, half of them to the eastern sea and half of them to the western sea; it shall continue in summer as in winter. 9 And the Lord will become king over all the earth; on that day the Lord will be one and his name one. 10 The whole land shall be turned into a plain from Geba to Rimmon south of Jerusalem. But Jerusalem shall remain aloft on its site from the Gate of Benjamin to the place of the former gate, to the Corner Gate, and from the Tower of Hananel to the king’s wine presses. 11 And it shall be inhabited, for never again shall it be doomed to destruction; Jerusalem shall abide in security.
