Invitatory
I will give you thanks with my whole heart.
Before the gods, I will sing praises to you.
I will bow down towards your holy temple,
and give thanks to your name for your loving kindness and for your truth;
for you have exalted your name and your word above all.
In the day that I called, you answered me.
You encouraged me with strength in my soul.
All the kings of the earth will give you thanks, O Lord,
for they have heard the words of your mouth.
Yes, they will sing of the ways of the Lord,
for the Lord’s glory is great!
For though the Lord is high, yet he looks after the lowly;
but he knows the proud from afar.
Though I walk in the middle of trouble, you will revive me.
You will stretch out your hand against the wrath of my enemies.
Your right hand will save me.
The Lord will fulfil that which concerns me.
Your loving kindness, Lord, endures forever.
Do not forsake the works of your own hands.
— Psalm 138†

O gracious 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,

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.
