00:10O Lord, open our lips, and our mouths shall sing your praise.
00:17O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us.
00:26Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,
00:32is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
00:39Let us praise the Lord. The Lord's name be praised.
00:49I believe in one God, the Father Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and invisible.
00:59I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages.
01:09God from God, light from light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, being of one substance with the
01:19Father.
01:20Through him all things were made.
01:23For us men, and for our salvation, he came down from heaven, and by the Holy Spirit, was incarnate of
01:31the Virgin Mary, and became man.
01:35For our sake, he was crucified under Pontius Pilate.
01:39He suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.
01:46He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
01:52He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end.
01:59I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father,
02:06who with the Father and the Son, is adored and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.
02:14I believe in one holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
02:18I confess one baptism for the forgiveness of sins,
02:23and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
02:30Amen.
02:33The Lord be with you, and also with you.
02:39Let us pray.
02:42Lord, have mercy upon us.
02:45Christ, have mercy upon us.
02:48Lord, have mercy upon us.
02:53Our Father in heaven, holy is your name.
02:58Your kingdom come.
03:00Your will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
03:05Give us today our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
03:11as we forgive those who trespass against us.
03:16Do not allow us to fall into temptation, but deliver us from every evil.
03:23Amen.
03:27O Lord, have mercy upon us, and grant us your salvation.
03:35Bless your ministers with righteousness, and make your chosen people joyful.
03:44O Lord, save your people, and bless your inheritance.
03:51Give peace in our time, O Lord,
03:54because there is none other that fights for it, but only you, O God.
04:01O God, make clean our hearts within us.
04:07Do not take your Holy Spirit from us.
04:15The Book of Nehemiah, Chapters 6 and 7
04:21When Sanballat, Tobiah,
04:24Jeshem, the Arab,
04:25and the rest of our enemies
04:26heard that I had rebuilt the wall,
04:29and no breach remained within it,
04:32even though at that time
04:33I had not positioned doors in the gates,
04:37Sanballat and Jeshem sent word to me, saying,
04:40Come on, let us set a time and meet together at Kepirim on the plain of Onor.
04:47Now they intended to do me harm.
04:51So I sent messengers to them, saying,
04:53I am engaged in an important work,
04:56and I am unable to come down.
04:58Then, why should the work come to a halt
05:01when I leave it to come down to you?
05:05They contacted me four times in this way,
05:07and I responded the same way each time.
05:13The fifth time that Sanballat sent his assistant to me in this way,
05:17he had an open letter in his hand,
05:20and written in it were the following words,
05:24Among the nations it is rumoured,
05:27and Jeshem has substantiated this,
05:29that you and the Jews have intentions of revolting,
05:33and for this reason you are building the wall.
05:37Furthermore, according to these rumours,
05:39you are going to become their king.
05:42You have already established prophets
05:45to announce in Jerusalem on your behalf.
05:47We have a king in Judah.
05:51Now the king is going to hear about these rumours.
05:54So come on, let us talk about this.
06:00I sent back word to them.
06:03We are not engaged in these activities you describe.
06:07All of this is a figment of your imagination.
06:14All of them were wanting to scare us,
06:16supposing their hands will grow slack from the work,
06:20and it won't get done.
06:23So now strengthen my hands.
06:28Then I went to the house of Shemaiah,
06:31son of Dayal,
06:33the son of Mehetebel.
06:35He was confined to his house.
06:37He said,
06:37Let us set up a time to meet in the house of the Lord,
06:40within the temple.
06:42Let us close the doors of the temple,
06:45for they are coming to kill you.
06:48It will surely be at night
06:49that they will come to kill you.
06:53But I replied,
06:56Should a man like me run away,
06:59will someone like me flee to the temple
07:01in order to save his life?
07:04I will not go.
07:07I recognised the fact that God had not sent him,
07:11for he had spoken the prophecy against me
07:13as a hired agent of Tobiah and Sanballat.
07:18He had been hired to scare me,
07:20so that I would do this and thereby fall into sin.
07:24This would bring reproach upon me,
07:26and I would be discredited.
07:30Remember, O my God,
07:32Tobiah and Sanballat
07:33in the light of these actions of theirs.
07:37Also,
07:37Noah-diah the prophetess,
07:39and the other prophets
07:40who were trying to scare me.
07:45So the wall was completed
07:46on the 25th day of Elul,
07:48in just 52 days.
07:52When our enemies hurt,
07:53and all the nations who were round about us
07:55saw this,
07:56they were greatly disheartened,
07:58for they knew that their work
07:59had been accomplished
08:00with the help of our God.
08:05In those days,
08:06the aristocrats of Judah
08:09repeatedly sent letters to Tobiah,
08:11and responses to Tobiah
08:13were repeatedly coming to them.
08:15For many in Judah
08:17had sworn allegiance to him,
08:19because he was the son-in-law
08:21of Shekaniah,
08:22son of Adah.
08:25His son Jonathan
08:26had married the daughter
08:27of Meshulam,
08:28son of Bekariah.
08:31They were telling me
08:32about his good deeds,
08:33and then taking back to him
08:35the things I said.
08:37Tobiah, on the other hand,
08:39sent letters in order
08:40to scare me.
08:44When the wall had been rebuilt,
08:46I had positioned the doors
08:47and the gatekeepers,
08:49the singers and the Levites
08:50had been appointed.
08:51I then put in charge
08:53over Jerusalem
08:54my brother Hanani,
08:56and Hananiah,
08:57the chief of the citable,
08:59for he was a faithful man,
09:01and feared God many,
09:02more than many do.
09:05I said to them,
09:06The gates of Jerusalem
09:08must not be opened
09:09in the early morning,
09:11until those who are standing guard
09:13close the doors
09:14and lock them.
09:17Position residents of Jerusalem
09:19as guards,
09:20some at their guard stations
09:22and some near their homes.
09:25Now the city was spread out
09:26and large,
09:27and there were not a lot
09:28of people in it,
09:29and at that time
09:30houses had not been rebuilt.
09:34My God placed it in my heart
09:36to gather the leaders,
09:37the officials
09:38and the ordinary people,
09:39so that they could be enrolled
09:41on the basis of genealogy.
09:44I found the genealogical records
09:47of those who had formerly returned.
09:49Here is what I found
09:50written in that record.
09:55These are the people
09:56of the province
09:57who returned
09:57from the captivity
09:58of the exiles,
10:00whom King Nebuchadnezzar
10:02of Babylon
10:02had forced into exile.
10:05They returned
10:06to Jerusalem
10:07and to Judah,
10:08each to his own city.
10:10They came
10:11with Zerubbabel,
10:13Jeshua,
10:14Nehemiah,
10:15Azariah,
10:16Ramaiah,
10:18Nehamani,
10:19Mordechai,
10:20Bilshan,
10:21Milspere,
10:22Biggvi,
10:23Neom,
10:25and Benah.
10:27This is the word
10:29of the Lord.
10:30Thanks be to God.
10:36The Lord said unto my Lord,
10:42Sit thou on my right hand,
10:46Until I make thy enemies
10:50like the storm.
10:53The Lord shall send the blood
10:56of thy power to smile.
11:00Be the royal,
11:03even in the midst
11:06above thy enemies.
11:09In the day of thy pasture,
11:13the people of the free will
11:16offer it,
11:19with an holy worship,
11:22the Lord upon thy

16:59He is merciful, loving, and righteous.
17:07A good man is merciful and clever,
17:14and will guide his words with his treasure.
17:19For he shall never be new,
17:26and for righteousness shall be happy,
17:31ever lost in remembrance.
17:36He will not be afraid of any evil twilight,
17:43for his touch standeth not and believeth in the Lord.
17:52His touch is established and will not shrink,
17:58but till he see his desire upon his ever meet.
18:05He brought his trust and love and freedom to the poor,
18:13and his righteousness be made it for ever.
18:18His joy shall be exalted with honor.
18:25He accomplished the sin, and he shall reap it.
18:31He shall last in his deep and merciful way,
18:37that he is one of the unborn which can perish.
18:45Glory be to the Father,
18:49and to the Son,
18:52and to the Holy Ghost,
18:55as his holy name is now and ever shall be,
19:05for he will not be ever.
19:13Amen.
19:26Praise the Lord, ye servants, O praise the name of the Lord.
19:36Let it be the name of the Lord, from this time to forevermore.
19:47Let it be the name of the Lord, from this time to forevermore.
20:17To which life unto the Lord are gone, that hath his dwelling so high.
20:29And yet God will himself to behold the things that are in heaven and earth.
20:38He taketh of the sinful heart of the God, and witheth the poor heart of the Lord.
20:57That he may set in with the great church, he will be the great church of his people.
21:09He may set in with the great church, he may set in with the great church, he will be the
21:20great church.
21:43He may set in with the great church, he may set in with the great church, he may set in
21:53with the great church.
22:10The Acts of the Apostles, chapter 6.
22:16Now in those days, when the number of the disciples was increasing, protests were made by the Greek Jews against
22:23the Hebrews,
22:24because their widows were not taken care of in the distribution of food every day.
22:31The Apostles sent for all the disciples and said,
22:35It is not right for us to give up preaching the word of God, in order to make distribution of
22:40food.
22:42Take then from among you seven men of good name, full of the Spirit and of wisdom,
22:48to whom we may give control of this business.
22:52Then we will give all our time to prayer and the teaching of the word.
22:58This saying was pleasing to all of them.
23:01They made selection of Stephen, a man full of faith and of the Holy Spirit,
23:07Philip, Prochorus, Nicanor, Timon, Parmenas, and Nicholas of Antioch,
23:13who had become a Jew.
23:17These they took to the apostles, who, after prayer, put their hands upon them.
23:23The word of the Lord was increasing in power.
23:28And the number of the disciples in Jerusalem became very great.
23:33And a great number of priests were in agreement with the faith.
23:40Stephen, full of grace and power, did great wonders and signs among the people.
23:46But some of those who were of the synagogue named that of the Libertines,
23:50and some of the men from Cyrene and Alexandria, from Cilicia and Asia,
23:56had arguments with Stephen.
23:59They were not able to get the better of him,
24:02for his words were full of wisdom and of the Spirit.
24:06Then they got men to say,
24:08He has said evil against Moses and against God in our hearing.
24:15Then the people with the rulers and the scribes were moved against him.
24:20They came and they took him before the Sanhedrin,
24:23getting false witnesses who said,
24:26This man is forever saying things against this holy place and against the law.
24:32For he has said things in our hearing,
24:35that this Jesus of Nazareth will put this place to destruction
24:39and make changes in the rules which were handed down to us by Moses.
24:46All those who were in the Sanhedrin, looking at him,
24:50saw that his face was like the face of an angel.
24:55This is the word of the Lord.
24:58Thanks be to God.
25:04Collect for Peace
25:07O God, who is the author of peace and lover of concord,
25:12in knowledge of whom stands our eternal life,
25:15whose service is perfect freedom,
25:18defend us, your humble servants,
25:21in all assaults of our enemies,
25:23that we, surely trusting in your defence,
25:26may not fear the power of any adversaries,
25:31through the might of Jesus Christ, our Lord.
25:34Amen.
25:39Collect for Our Safe Preservation
25:42O Lord, our Heavenly Father,
25:45almighty and everlasting God,
25:47who has safely brought us to the beginning of this day,
25:51defend us in the same with your mighty power
25:53and grant that this day we fall into no sin,
25:58neither run into any kind of danger,
26:01but that all our doings may be ordered
26:04by your governance,
26:06to do always that which is righteous in your sight,
26:11through Jesus Christ, our Lord.
26:18Lord, let me accept calmly all that this day might bring me,
26:23and let me devote myself completely to your sacred will.
26:29Direct me and help me each hour of this day.
26:33Control my thoughts and feelings in all my deeds and words.
26:38When unpredictable circumstances arise,
26:42do not let me forget that everything comes from you.
26:47Lord Jesus, Son of God,
26:50it is better not to live than to live without you.
26:54I thank you, God, for the gift of this new day
26:57and for all the good deeds you will help me do today.
27:03Holy Spirit, help me to dedicate this day
27:06to my Lord and Saviour.
27:09Teach me to be just toward my brother and sister,
27:13never to provoke wrath or cause sorrow.
27:18Control my will and teach me to pray,
27:21to believe, to hope, to suffer,
27:24to forgive and to love.
27:28Amen.
27:32We pray for the work of your faithful servants
27:35throughout the world, Lord.
27:38Lord, in your mercy, hear our prayer.
27:45May the grace of our Lord Jesus Christ,
27:48the love of God,
27:49and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit
27:51be with us all today and forevermore.
27:57Amen.
28:01Amen.
28:02Amen.
