Saint James the
Apostle – 25 July
Psalm 148
Laudate Dominum
O PRAISE the Lord of heaven : praise him in
the height.
2. Praise him, all ye angels of his : praise
him, all his host.
3. Praise him, sun and moon : praise him, all
ye stars and light.
4. Praise him, all ye heavens : and ye waters
that are above the heavens.
5. Let them praise the Name of the Lord : for
he spake the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created.
6. He hath made them fast for ever and ever :
he hath given them a law which shall not be broken.
7. Praise the Lord upon earth : ye dragons,
and all deeps;
8. Fire and hail, snow and vapours : wind and
storm, fulfilling his word;
9. Mountains and all hills : fruitful trees
and all cedars;
10. Beasts and all cattle : worms and
feathered fowls;
11. Kings of the earth and all people :
princes and all judges of the world;
12. Young men and maidens, old men and
children, praise the Name of the Lord : for his Name only is excellent, and his
praise above heaven and earth.
13. He shalt exalt the horn of his people; all
his saints shall praise him : even the children of Israel, even the people the
serveth him.
The Collect
Grant, O merciful God, that as thine holy Apostle
Saint James, leaving his father and all that he had, without delay was obedient
unto the calling of thy Son Jesus Christ, and followed him; so we, forsaking
all worldly and carnal affections, may be evermore ready to follow thy holy
commandments; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
