*#HYMN For All the Saints 637

*INVOCATION Peter JB Carman

Out of the deep Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. O let thine ears consider well: the voice of my complaint. If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss: O Lord, who may abide it? For there is mercy with thee: therefore shalt thou be feared. I look for the Lord; my doth wait for God: in God’s word is my trust. My soul fleeth unto the Lord; before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch. O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy: and with God is plenteous redemption. And God shall redeem Israel: from all its sins.

We that are born of a woman have but a short time to live, and are full of misery. For we come up and are cut down like a flower; we flee as if life were a shadow.

In the midst of life we are in : of whom may we seek for succor?

I am the and the life, saith the Lord: whoso believeth in me, though they were dead, yet shall they live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. text from Missa pro defunctis; English texts from the Burial Service, 1662 Book of Prayer

The Lord is my shepherd The Lord is my shepherd: therefore can I lack nothing. He shall feed me in a green pasture: and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort. He shall convert my soul: and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, for his Name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou shalt prepare a table for me against them that trouble me: thou has anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. But thy loving‐kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever.

Bless the Lord, My Soul Jacques Berthier of Taizé Please join the choir, singing ...
