Amen. Old Testament Lesson O Ephraim, what shall I do unto thee? O Judah, what shall I do unto thee? for your goodness is as a morning cloud, and as the early dew it goeth away. Therefore have I hewed them by the prophets; I have slain them by the words of my mouth: and thy judgments are as the light that goeth forth. For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of God more than burnt offerings. Gradual Psalm Hosea 6 v. 4-6 The Lord is my strength, and my song : and is become my salvation The voice of joy and health is in the dwellings of the righteous : the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pass. The right hand of the Lord hath the pre-eminence : the right hand of the Lord bringeth mighty things to pass. I shall not die, but live : and declare the works of the Lord. The Lord hath chastened and corrected me : but he hath not given me over unto death.
Open me the gates of righteousness : that I may go into them, and give thanks unto the Lord. This is the gate of the Lord : the righteous shall enter into it. I will thank thee, for thou hast heard me : and art become my salvation. New Testament Lesson Psalm 118 v. 14-21 Put on therefore, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, mercy and compassion, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, long-suffering; forbearing one another, and forgiving one another, if any man have a complaint against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also do ye. And above all these things put on charity, which is the bond of perfectness. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to the which also ye are called in one body; and be ye thankful. Let the word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in psalms, and hymns, and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord. And whatsoever ye do, in word or deed, do all in the Name of the Lord Jesus, giving thanks to God and the Father through him. Colossians 3 v. 12-17 Gradual Timebunt gentes nomen tuum, Domine, et omnes reges de terrae gloriam tuam. The people fear your name, O Lord, and all the Kings of the Earth your glory.
Gospel Acclamation The Gospel The Lord is King, the earth may be glad thereof: yea, the multitude of the isles may be glad thereof. The Lord be with you: And with thy spirit. A reading from the Holy Gospel according to Matthew: Glory be to thee, O Lord. Another parable put he forth unto them, saying, The kingdom of heaven is likened unto a man which sowed good seed in his field. But while men slept, his enemy came and sowed tares among the wheat, and went his way. But when the blade was sprung up, and brought forth fruit, then appeared the tares also. So the servants of the householder came and said unto him, Sir, didst not thou sow good seed in thy field? from whence then hath it tares? He said unto them, An enemy hath done this. The servants said unto him, Wilt thou then that we go and gather them up? But he said, Nay; lest while ye gather up the tares, ye root up also the wheat with them. Let both grow together until the harvest; and in the time of harvest I will say to the reapers, Gather ye together first the tares, and bind them in bundles to burn them: but gather the wheat into my barn. Matthew 22 v. 16-34 This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise be to thee, O Christ.
