Blessed Lord,
who caused all holy scriptures
to be written for our learning:
help us so to hear them,
to read, mark, learn and
inwardly digest them
that, through patience, and the
comfort of your holy word,
we may embrace and for ever
hold fast the hope of
everlasting life,
which you have given us in our
Saviour Jesus Christ,
who is alive and reigns with
you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever.
FIRST READING
Isaiah 45.22-25
A reading fro m the book of the
prophet Isaiah.
Thus says the LORD: Turn to
me and be saved, all the ends of
the earth! For I am God, and
there is no other. By myself
I have sworn, from my mouth
has gone forth in righteousness
a word that shall not return: 'To
me every knee shall bow, every
tongue shall swear.' Only in the
LORD, it shall be said of me, are
righteousness and strength; all
who were incensed against him
shall come to him and be
ashamed. In the LORD all the
offspring of Israel shall triumph
and glory.
PSALM Psalm 119.129-136
R When your word goes forth it
gives light.
Your decrees are wonderful;
therefore I obey them with all
my heart.
When your word goes forth it
gives light;
it gives understanding to the
simple. R
I open my mouth and pant;
I long for your commandments.
Turn to me in mercy,
