In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Oh, come, let us sing unto the Lord.
Let us shout aloud to the rock of our salvation!
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving.
Let us extol him with songs!
For the Lord is a great God,
and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the deep places of the earth.
The heights of the mountains are also his.
The sea is his, and he made it.
And his hands formed the dry land.
Oh come, let us worship and bow down.
Let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker,
for he is our God.
We are the people of his pasture,
and the sheep of his hand.
O that today you would hear his voice!
— Psalm 95:1-7, alt.
Invitatory
O Lord, show us your mercy;
and grant us your salvation.
Clothe your ministers with righteousness;
Let your people sing with joy.
Give peace, O Lord, in all the world;
for only in you can we dwell in safety.
Lord, keep this nation under your care;
and guide us in the way of justice and truth.
Let your way be known upon earth;
your saving health among all nations.
Let not the needy, O Lord, be forgotten;
nor the hope of the poor be taken away.
Create in us clean hearts, O God;
and sustain us with your Holy Spirit.
— BCP 1979, alt.

and you gave me food.

and you took me in.

and you clothed me.
I was sick
and you visited me.
I was in prison
and you came to me.
