HYMNS ANCIENT & MODERN
Collect: Almighty Father, who in your great mercy gladdened the disciples with the sight
of the risen Lord: give us such knowledge of his presence with us, that we may be
strengthened and sustained by his risen life and serve you continually in righteousness
and truth; through Jesus Christ your son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in
the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
1st Reading:
Acts 3: 12-19
Psalm:
4
Hear me when I call O God of my righteousness: thou hast set me at liberty when I was
in trouble, have mercy upon me and hearken unto my prayer.
O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour: and have such pleasure in
vanity and seek after leasing?
Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly: when I call
upon the Lord he will hear me.
Stand in awe and sin not: commune with your own heart, and in your chamber and be
still.
Offer the sacrifice of righteousness: and put your trust in the Lord.
There be many that say: Who will shew us any good?
Lord lift thou up: the light of thy countenance upon us.
Thou hast put gladness in my heart: since the time that their corn and wine and oil
increased.
I will lay me down in peace and take my rest: for it is thou Lord only that makest me
dwell in safety.
