The Second Sunday after Christmas Day
Psalm 37 (v.1-6)
Noli aemulari
FRET not thyself because of the ungodly : neither be thou envious against
the evil-doers.
2. For they shall soon be cut down like the grass : and be withered even
as the green herb.
3. Put thou thy trust in the Lord, and be doing good : dwell in the land,
and verily thou shalt be fed.
4. Delight thou in the Lord : and he shall give thee thy heart’s desire.
5. Commit thy way unto the Lord, and put thy trust in him : and he shall
bring it to pass.
6. He shall make thy righteousness as clear as the light ; and thy just
dealing as the noon-day.
The Collect
ALMIGHTY GOD, who hast poured upon us the new light of thine incarnate
Word; grant that the same light enkindled in our hearts may shine forth in our
lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
