1984 Prayer Book

Almighty and everlasting God, who hast given us thy servants grace by the confession of a true faith to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of the Divine Majesty to worship the Unity: keep us steadfast in this faith, and evermore defend us in all adversities; who livest and reignest, one God, world without end.

Contemporary

Almighty and everlasting God,

you have given us your servants grace,

by the confession of a true faith,

to acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity

and in the power of the divine majesty to worship the Unity:

keep us steadfast in this faith,

that we may evermore be defended from all adversities;

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

who is alive and reigns with you

and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

Post Communion Prayer 82

Almighty and eternal God,

you have revealed yourself as Father, Son and Holy Spirit,

and live and reign in the perfect unity of love:

hold us firm in this faith,

that we may know you in all your ways

and evermore rejoice in your eternal glory;

holy and eternal Trinity,

one God, now and for ever.

Isaiah 40. 12-17, 27-31

Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand and marked off the heavens with a span, enclosed the dust of the earth in ameasure, and weighed the mountains inscales and the hills in a balance? Who has directed the spirit of theLord, or as his counsellor has instructed him? Whom did he consult for his enlightenment, and who taught him the path of justice? Who taught him knowledge, and showed him the way of understanding? Even the nations are like a drop from a bucket, and are accounted as dust on thescales; see, he takes up the isles like fine dust. Lebanon would not provide fuel enough, nor are its animals enough for a burnt-offering. All the nations are as nothing before him; they are accounted by him as less than nothing and emptiness.

Why do you say, OJacob, and speak, OIsrael, ‘My way is hidden from the Lord, and my right is disregarded by my God’? Have you not known? Have you notheard? The Lord is the everlasting God, the Creator of the ends of theearth. He does not faint or grow weary; his understanding is unsearchable. He gives power to the faint, and strengthens the powerless. Even youths will faint and beweary, and the young will fall exhausted; but those who wait for the Lord shall renew their strength, they shall mount up with wings like eagles, they shall run and not be weary, they shall walk and not faint.

Psalm 8

Biblical text

OLord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

You have set your glory above the heavens. Out of the mouths of babes and infants you have founded a bulwark because of your foes, to silence the enemy and the avenger.

When I look at your heavens, the work of your fingers, the moon and the stars that you have established; what are human beings that you are mindful of them, mortals that you care for them?

Yet you have made them a little lower than God,and crowned them with glory and honour. You have given them dominion over the works of your hands; you have put all things under their feet, all sheep and oxen, and also the beasts of the field, the birds of the air, and the fish of the sea, whatever passes along the paths of the seas.

OLord, our Sovereign, how majestic is your name in all the earth!

Psalm 8

Pointed Psalm

First version

O / Lord our / governor :

how glorious is your / name in / all the / world!

Your majesty above the / heavens is / praised :

out of the / mouths of / babes at the / breast.

You have founded a stronghold a/gainst your / foes :

that you might still the / enemy / and the a/venger.

When I consider your heavens, the / work of your / fingers :

the moon and the / stars that / you have or/dained,

What is man, that you should be / mindful / of him :

the son of man, that / you should / seek him / out?

You have made him little / lower • than the / angels :

and / crown him with / glory and / honour.

You have given him dominion over the / works of your / hands :

and put / all things / under his / feet,

All sheep and oxen,

even the wild / beasts of the / field :

the birds of the air, the fish of the sea

and whatsoever / moves • in the / paths of the / sea.

O / Lord our / governor :

how glorious is your / name in / all the / world!

2 Corinthians 13. 11-13

Finally, brothers and sisters, farewell. Put things in order, listen to my appeal, agree with one another, live in peace; and the God of love and peace will be with you. Greet one another with a holy kiss. All the saints greet you.

The grace of the Lord Jesus Christ, the love of God, and the communion of the Holy Spirit be with all of you.

Matthew 28. 16-20

Now the eleven disciples went to Galilee, to the mountain to which Jesus had directed them. When they saw him, they worshipped him; but some doubted. And Jesus came and said to them, ‘All authority in heaven and on earth has been given to me. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and of the Son and of the Holy Spirit, and teaching them to obey everything that I have commanded you. And remember, I am with you always, to the end of the age.’
