vv. 1 & 3 - Responsive reading
P: Man who is born of woman C: Is of few days and full of trouble. P: For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. P: He comes forth like a flower and fades away; C: He flees like a shadow and does not continue. P: In the sweat of your face you shall eat bread Till you return to the ground, for out of it you were taken; For dust you are, C: And to dust you shall return. P: For we brought nothing into this world, and it is certain we can carry nothing out. C: For dust you are, and to dust you shall return. P: We have been consumed by Your anger, C: And by Your wrath we are terrified. P: You have set our iniquities before You, C: Our secret sins in the light of Your countenance. P: For all our days have passed away in Your wrath; we finish our years like a sigh. C: For dust you are, and to dust you shall return. P: Teach us, O Lord, to number our days, C: That we may gain a heart of wisdom. P: Let us pray. Lord Jesus Christ, Son of the living God, we humbly beseech You to set Your Passion, Cross and Death between Your judgment and our souls, now, and in the hour of death. C: Give us mercy and grace, and grant Your Church concord and peace, that at length we shall enjoy everlasting life and glory; for with the Father and Holy Spirit You reign, one God, now and forever. Amen. - Prayer
- Psalmody: Psalm 51: 2, 3 Wash Me Thoroughly S. S. Wesley
Wash me throughly from my wickedness, and forgive me all my sin. For I acknowledge my faults and my sin is ever before me. - Reading: Matthew 26:31-46 View
Then Jesus told them, “This very night you will all fall away on account of me, for it is written: “ ‘I will strike the shepherd, and the sheep of the flock will be scattered.’ But after I have risen, I will go ahead of you into Galilee.” Peter replied, “Even if all fall away on account of you, I never will.” “I tell you the truth,” Jesus answered, “this very night, before the rooster crows, you will disown me three times.” But Peter declared, “Even if I have to die with you, I will never disown you.” And all the other disciples said the same. Then Jesus went with his disciples to a place called Gethsemane, and he said to them, “Sit here while I go over there and pray.” He took Peter and the two sons of Zebedee along with him, and he began to be sorrowful and troubled. Then he said to them, “My soul is overwhelmed with sorrow to the point of death. Stay here and keep watch with me.” Going a little farther, he fell with his face to the ground and prayed, “My Father, if it is possible, may this cup be taken from me. Yet not as I will, but as you will.” Then he returned to his disciples and found them sleeping. “Could you men not keep watch with me for one hour?” he asked Peter. “Watch and pray so that you will not fall into temptation. The spirit is willing, but the body is weak.” He went away a second time and prayed, “My Father, if it is not possible for this cup to be taken away unless I drink it, may your will be done.” When he came back, he again found them sleeping, because their eyes were heavy. So he left them and went away once more and prayed the third time, saying the same thing. Then he returned to the disciples and said to them, “Are you still sleeping and resting? Look, the hour is near, and the Son of Man is betrayed into the hands of sinners. Rise, let us go! Here comes my betrayer!” - Hymn 272 - O Sinner, Come Thy Sin To Mourn View
