    The Epiphany

    January 6

    O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth: Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    Deus noster refugiumBCP p. 649

    1God is our refuge and strength, *a very present help in trouble.

    2Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved, *and though the mountains be toppled into the depths of the sea;

    3Though its waters rage and foam, *and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.

    4The Lord of hosts is with us; *the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

    5There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God, *the holy habitation of the Most High.

    6God is in the midst of her; she shall not be overthrown; *God shall help her at the break of day.

    7The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken; *God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.

    8The Lord of hosts is with us; *the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

    9Come now and look upon the works of the Lord, *what awesome things he has done on earth.

    10It is he who makes war to cease in all the world; *he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear, and burns the shields with fire.

    11“Be still, then, and know that I am God; *I will be exalted among the nations; I will be exalted in the earth.”

    12The Lord of hosts is with us; *the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

    Dominus regnavitBCP p. 726

    1The Lord is King; let the earth rejoice; *let the multitude of the isles be glad.

    2Clouds and darkness are round about him, *righteousness and justice are the foundations of his throne.

    3A fire goes before him *and burns up his enemies on every side.

    4His lightnings light up the world; *the earth sees it and is afraid.

    5The mountains melt like wax at the presence of the Lord, *at the presence of the Lord of the whole earth.

    6The heavens declare his righteousness, *and all the peoples see his glory.

    7Confounded be all who worship carved images and delight in false gods! *Bow down before him, all you gods.

    8Zion hears and is glad, and the cities of Judah rejoice, *because of your judgments, O Lord.

    9For you are the Lord, most high over all the earth; *you are exalted far above all gods.

    10The Lord loves those who hate evil; *he preserves the lives of his saints and delivers them from the hand of the wicked.

    11Light has sprung up for the righteous, *and joyful gladness for those who are truehearted.

    12Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous, *and give thanks to his holy Name.

    Rev. 21:22-27

    22 I saw no temple in the city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. 23 And the city has no need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is the Lamb. 24 The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their glory into it. 25 Its gates will never be shut by day—and there will be no night there. 26 People will bring into it the glory and the honor of the nations. 27 But nothing unclean will enter it, nor anyone who practices abomination or falsehood, but only those who are written in the Lamb’s book of life.

    Isa. 49:1-7

    1 Listen to me, O coastlands, pay attention, you peoples from far away! The Lord called me before I was born, while I was in my mother’s womb he named me. 2 He made my mouth like a sharp sword, in the shadow of his hand he hid me; he made me a polished arrow, in his quiver he hid me away. 3 And he said to me, “You are my servant, Israel, in whom I will be glorified.” 4 But I said, “I have labored in vain, I have spent my strength for nothing and vanity; yet surely my cause is with the Lord, and my reward with my God.” 5 And now the Lord says, who formed me in the womb to be his servant, to bring Jacob back to him, and that Israel might be gathered to him, for I am honored in the sight of the Lord, and my God has become my strength— 6 he says, “It is too light a thing that you should be my servant to raise up the tribes of Jacob and to restore the survivors of Israel; I will give you as a light to the nations, that my salvation may reach to the end of the earth.” 7 Thus says the Lord, the Redeemer of Israel and his Holy One, to one deeply despised, abhorred by the nations, the slave of rulers, “Kings shall see and stand up, princes, and they shall prostrate themselves, because of the Lord, who is faithful, the Holy One of Israel, who has chosen you.”

    Matt. 12:14-21

    14 But the Pharisees went out and conspired against him, how to destroy him. 15 When Jesus became aware of this, he departed. Many crowds followed him, and he cured all of them, 16 and he ordered them not to make him known. 17 This was to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet Isaiah: 18 “Here is my servant, whom I have chosen, my beloved, with whom my soul is well pleased. I will put my Spirit upon him, and he will proclaim justice to the Gentiles. 19 He will not wrangle or cry aloud, nor will anyone hear his voice in the streets. 20 He will not break a bruised reed or quench a smoldering wick until he brings justice to victory. 21 And in his name the Gentiles will hope.”
