The Second Sunday in Advent.
Psalm
120
Ad Dominum
WHEN I was in trouble I called upon the Lord : and he heard me.
2. Deliver my soul, O Lord, from lying lips : and from a deceitful
tongue.
3. What reward shall be given or done unto thee, thou false tongue :
even mighty and sharp arrows, with hot burning coals.
4. Woe is me, that I am constrained to dwell with Mesech : and to have
my habitation among the tents of Kedar.
5. My soul hath long dwelt among them : that are enemies unto peace.
6. I labour for peace, but when I speak unto them thereof : they make
them ready to battle.
The Collect.
BLESSED Lord, who hast caused all holy Scriptures to be
written for our learning; Grant that we may in such wise hear them, read, mark,
learn, and inwardly digest them, that by patience and comfort of thy holy Word,
we may embrace, and ever hold fast, the blessed hope of everlasting life, which
thou hast given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
The Collect from the First Sunday in Advent is
to be repeated every day, with the other Collects in Advent, until
Christmas-Eve:
ALMIGHTY God,
give us grace that we may cast away the works of darkness, and put upon us the
armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life in which thy Son Jesus
Christ came to visit us in great humility; that in the last day, when he shall
come again in his glorious majesty to judge both the quick and the dead, we may
rise to the life immortal; through him who liveth and reigneth with thee and
the Holy Ghost, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
