Trinity-Sunday.
Psalm 67
Deus misereatur
GOD be merciful unto us, and bless us : and shew us the light of his
countenance, and be merciful unto us:
2. That thy way may be known upon earth : thy saving health among all
nations.
3. Let the people praise thee, O God : yea, let all the people praise
thee.
4. O let the nations rejoice and be glad : for thou shalt judge the
folk righteously, and govern the nations upon earth.
5. Let the people praise thee, O God : let all the people praise thee.
6. Then shall the earth bring forth her increase : and God, even our
own God, shall give us his blessing.
7. God shall bless us : and all the ends of the world shall fear him.
The Collect.
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God,
who hast given unto us thy servants grace, by the confession of a true faith to
acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the power of thy Divine
Majesty to worship the Unity; We beseech thee, that thou wouldst keep us
steadfast in this faith, and evermore defend us from all adversities, who
livest and reignest, one God, world without end. Amen.

Personal: I love reading George Herbert’s “The Temple”. This is his
prayer for Trinity Sunday…lots of 3-in-1s; and a very warm prayer besides. Our
church will be using this as our confession of sin this Sunday.
Lord, who hast formed me
out of mud,
And hast redeemed me through thy blood,
And sanctified me to do good;
And hast redeemed me through thy blood,
And sanctified me to do good;
Purge all my sins done
heretofore:
For I confess my heavy score,
And I will strive to sin no more.
For I confess my heavy score,
And I will strive to sin no more.
Enrich my heart, mouth,
hands in me,
With faith, with hope, with charity;
That I may run, rise, rest with thee.
With faith, with hope, with charity;
That I may run, rise, rest with thee.
(George
Herbert, “Trinity Sunday,” from The
Temple, 1633)
Saint Barnabas the
Apostle
(11 June)
Psalm 1
Beatus vir, qui non abiit, &c.
1. BLESSED is the man that hath not walked in the counsel of the
ungodly, nor stood in the way of sinners : and hath not sat in the seat of the
scornful.
2. But his delight is in the law of the Lord : and in his law will he
exercise himself day and night.
3. And he shall be like a tree planted by the water-side : that will
bring forth his fruit in due season.
4. His leaf also shall not wither : and look, whatsoever he doeth, it
shall prosper.
5. As for the ungodly, it is not so with them : but they are like the
chaff, which the wind scattereth away from the face of the earth.
6. Therefore the ungodly shall not be able to stand in the judgement :
neither the sinners in the congregation of the righteous.
7. But the Lord knoweth the way of the righteous : and the way of the
ungodly shall perish.
The Collect
O Lord God Almighty, who didst endue thy holy Apostle Barnabas with
singular gifts of the Holy Ghost; Leave us not, we beseech thee, destitute of
thy manifold gifts, nor yet of grace to use them alway to thy honour and glory;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
