Evening Prayer
0103 Memorial
Hymn
O Jesus, King most wonderful,
O noble Lord, who conquers all
With all the sweetness of your love
Our ever-seeking hearts enthral.
O mighty king, O glorious one,
O powerful, great, victorious king,
O Giver of all splendid gifts,
The hosts of heaven your glory sing.
The choirs of heaven your might proclaim
And echo back your ringing praise,
For Jesus fills the world with joy
Brings peace with God in all our ways.
Good Jesus governs all in peace,
Our senses cannot ever know.
Our minds for ever seek his love,
We haste to find love's overflow.
With praises now we follow Christ,
We follow on with prayer and hymn,
That Jesus may then give us joy
To find a place in heaven with him.
O Jesus, flower of Mary's womb,
The love, which sweetens all our days,
Who reigns in bliss for evermore
To you be honour, glory, praise. Amen.
Psalmody
Psalm 45
Ant 1: Glorify the Lord with me, together let us praise his name.
God is for us a refuge and strength, *
a helper close at hand, in time of distress:
so we shall not fear though the earth should rock, *
though the mountains fall into the depths of the sea,
even though its waters rage and foam, *
even though the mountains be shaken by its waves.
The waters of a river give joy to God's city, *
the holy place where the Most High dwells.
God is within, it cannot be shaken; *
God will help it at the dawning of the day.
Nations are in tumult, kingdoms are shaken: *
he lifts up his voice, the earth shrinks away.
Come, consider the works of the Lord *
the redoubtable deeds he has done on the earth.
He puts an end to wars over all the earth;+
the bow he breaks, the spear he snaps. *
He burns the shields with fire.
Be still and know that I am God, *
supreme among the nations, supreme on the earth!
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.
Ant 1: Glorify the Lord with me, together let us praise his name.
Psalm 115
Ant 2: A thanksgiving sacrifice I make; I will call on the Lord's name.
I trusted, even when I said: *
'I am sorely afflicted,'
and when I said in my alarm: *
'No man can be trusted.'
How can I repay the Lord *
for his goodness to me?
The cup of salvation I will raise; *
I will call on the Lord's name.
My vows to the Lord I will. fulfill *
before all his people.
O precious in the eyes of the Lord *
is the death of his faithful.
Your servant, Lord, your servant am I; *
you have loosened my bonds.
A thanksgiving sacrifice I make: *
I will call on the Lord's name.
My vows to the Lord I will fulfill *
before all his people,
in the courts of the house of the Lord, *
in your midst, O Jerusalem.
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.
Ant 2: A thanksgiving sacrifice I make; I will call on the Lord's name.
Canticle: Phil. 2, 6-11
Ant 3: All nations shall come and adore you and glorify your name, O Lord.
Though he was in the form of God, *
Jesus did not count equality with God a thing to be grasped.
He emptied himself,+
taking the form of a servant, *
being born in the likeness of men.
And being found in human form, +
he humbled himself and became obedient unto death, *
even death on a cross.
Therefore God has highly exalted him *
and bestowed on him the name which is above every name,
That at the name of Jesus every knee should bow, *
in heaven and on earth and under the earth,
And every tongue confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, *
to the glory of God the Father.
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.
Ant 3: All nations shall come and adore you and glorify your name, o Lord.
