Amen.§Please be seated.The LessonsThe First Lesson is read, the Reader first sayingA Reading from the Book of Proverbs.Does not wisdom call,and does not understanding raise her voice?On the heights, beside the way,at the crossroads she takes her stand;beside the gates in front of the town,at the entrance of the portals she cries out:5Proverbs 8:1-4, 22-31

"To you, O people, I call,and my cry is to all that live.The LORD created me at the beginning of his work,the first of his acts of long ago.Ages ago I was set up,at the first, before the beginning of the earth.When there were no depths I was brought forth,when there were no springs abounding with water.Before the mountains had been shaped,before the hills, I was brought forth-when he had not yet made earth and fields,or the world's first bits of soil.When he established the heavens, I was there,when he drew a circle on the face of the deep,when he made firm the skies above,when he established the fountains of the deep,when he assigned to the sea its limit,so that the waters might not transgress his command,when he marked out the foundations of the earth,then I was beside him, like a master worker;and I was daily his delight,rejoicing before him always,rejoicing in his inhabited worldand delighting in the human race."After each Lesson the Reader may sayThe Word of the Lord.AnswerThanks be to God.The Psalm (choir)8 Domine, Dominus noster (choir)BCP 592chant: J. Corfe (from H. Lawes)1 O LORD our Governor, *how exalted is your Name in all the world!2 Out of the mouths of infants and children *your majesty is praised above the heavens.3 You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, *to quell the enemy and the avenger.4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, *the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,5 What is man that you should be mindful of him? *the son of man that you should seek him out?6 You have made him but little lower than the angels; *you adorn him with glory and honor;6

7 You give him mastery over the works of your hands; *you put all things under his feet:8 All sheep and oxen, *even the wild beasts of the field,9 The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, *and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.10 O LORD our Governor, *how exalted is your Name in all the world!The Second Lesson is read, the Reader first sayingA Reading from the Letter of Paul to the RomansRomans 5:1-15Since we are justified by faith, we have peace with God through our Lord Jesus Christ, throughwhom we have obtained access to this grace in which we stand; and we boast in our hope ofsharing the glory of God. And not only that, but we also boast in our sufferings, knowing thatsuffering produces endurance, and endurance produces character, and character produceshope, and hope does not disappoint us, because God's love has been poured into our heartsthrough the Holy Spirit that has been given to us.The Reader may sayThe Word of the Lord.AnswerThanks be to God.§Please stand as able when the Presider stands and masked while singing.Alleluia Verse (Cantor, then all repeat)Alleluia.
