00:27the name of the Lord who made heaven and earth
00:41most merciful God we confess to you before the whole company of heaven and one
00:47another that we have sinned in thought word and deed I did what we have failed
00:55to do forgive us our sins heal us by your spirit and raise us to new life in Christ amen
01:09oh Lord make speed to save us oh Lord make haste to help us glory be to the Father and
01:21to the Son and
01:22to the Holy Spirit as it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be world without end amen
01:33Alleluia
01:40Psalm 104
01:46praise the Lord oh my soul oh Lord my God you are magnificent you are robed in splendour
01:54and majesty he covers himself with light as if it were a garment he stretches out the skies like a
02:02tent
02:02curtain and lays the beams of the upper rooms of his palace on the rain clouds he makes the clouds
02:10his
02:10chariot and travels along on the wings of the wind. He makes the winds his messengers
02:17and the flaming fire his attendant. He established the earth on its foundations. It will never
02:24be moved. The watery deep covered it like a garment. The waters reached above the mountains.
02:35Your shout made the waters retreat. At the sound of your thunderous voice, they hurried
02:41off as the mountains rose up and the valleys went down to the place you appointed for them.
02:48You set up a boundary for them that they could not cross, so that they would not cover the
02:53earth again. He turns springs into streams. They flow between the mountains. They provide
03:02water for all the animals in the field. The wild donkeys quench their thirst. The birds
03:09of the sky live beside them. They chirp among the bushes. He waters the mountains from the
03:16upper rooms of his palace. The earth is full of the fruit you cause to grow.
03:24He provides grass for the cattle and crops for the people to cultivate, so that they can
03:29produce food from the ground, as well as wine that makes people feel so good, and so they
03:36can have oil to make their faces shine, as well as food that sustains people's lives.
03:44The trees of the Lord receive all the rain they need. The cedars of Lebanon, which he planted,
03:50where the birds make their nests, near the evergreens in which the herons live.
03:56The wild goats live in the high mountains. The rock badgers find safety in the cliffs.
04:03He made the moon to mark the months, and the sun sets according to a regular schedule.
04:10He make it dark, and night comes, during which all the beasts of the forest prowl around.
04:17The lions roar for prey, seeking their food from God. When the sun rises, they withdraw and sleep
04:26in their dens. Men then go out to do their work, and labour away until evening.
04:34How many living things have you made, O Lord? You have exhibited great skill in making all
04:40of them. The earth is full of living things you have made. Over here is the deep wide sea,
04:48which teems with innumerable swimming creatures, living things both small and large. The ships
04:56travel there, and over here swims the whale you made to play in it. All of your creatures wait for
05:05you to provide them with food on a regular basis. You give food to them, and they receive it. You
05:11open your hand, and they are filled with food. When you ignore them, they panic. When you take away
05:18their life's breath, they die and return to dust. When you send your life-giving breath, they are
05:25created, and you replenish the surface of the ground. May the splendour of the Lord endure. May the Lord
05:34find pleasure in the living things he has made. He looks down on the earth, and it shakes. He touches
05:41the mountains, and they start to smolder. I will sing to the Lord as long as I live. I will
05:48sing praise
05:49to my God as long as I exist. May my thoughts be pleasing to him. I will rejoice in the
05:57Lord. May sinners
06:00disappear from the earth, and the wicked vanish. Praise the Lord, O my soul. Praise the Lord. Glory be to
06:08the
06:09Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever
06:15shall be,
06:16world without end. Amen.
06:26You, O Lord, are in the midst of us, and we are called by your name. Leave us not, O
06:34Lord, our God.
06:38Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit. Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
06:49For you have redeemed me, Lord God of truth. I commend my spirit.
06:59Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
07:04Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit.
07:15Now, according to your word, Sovereign Lord, permit your servant to depart in peace.
07:21For my eyes have seen your salvation, that you have prepared, in the presence of all peoples.
07:29A light for the revelation to the Gentiles, and for glory to your people Israel.
07:37Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
07:42as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,
07:46world without end. Amen.
07:53Lighten our darkness, Lord, we pray.
07:56And in your great mercy, defend us from all perils and dangers of this night.
08:02For the love of your only Son, our Saviour, Jesus Christ.
08:08Amen.
08:12Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy name.
08:17Thy kingdom come.
08:19Thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven.
08:24Give us this day our daily bread,
08:27and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us.
08:35Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.
08:41For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory,
08:45for ever and ever.
08:47Amen.
08:51In peace will we lie down and sleep.
08:55For you alone, Lord, make us dwell in safety.
09:02Abide with us, Lord Jesus,
09:05for the night is at hand, and the day is now past.
09:12As the night watch looks for the morning,
09:15so do we look for you, O Christ.
09:21Come with the dawning of the day,
09:24and make yourself known in the breaking of the bread.
09:31May the Lord bless us and watch over us.
09:33The Lord make his face shine upon us
09:37and be gracious to us.
09:41The Lord look kindly on us
09:44and give us peace.
09:47Amen.
