The
Epiphany, or the Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles.
Psalm
96
Cantate
Domino
O SING unto
the Lord a new song : sing unto the Lord, all the whole earth.
2. Sing unto
the Lord, and praise his Name : be telling of his salvation from day to day.
3. Declare
his honour unto the heathen : and his wonders unto all people.
4. For the
Lord is great, and cannot worthily be praised : he is more to be feared than
all gods.
5. As for all
the gods of the heathen, they are but idols : but it is the Lord that made the
heavens.
6. Glory and
worship are before him : power and honour are in his sanctuary.
7. Ascribe
unto the Lord, O ye kindreds of the people : ascribe unto the Lord worship and
power.
8. Ascribe
unto the Lord the honour due unto his Name : bring presents, and come into his
courts.
9. O worship
the Lord in the beauty of holiness : let the whole earth stand in awe of him.
10. Tell it
out among the heathen that the Lord is King : and that it is he who hath made
the round world so fast that it cannot be moved; and how that he shall judge
the people righteously.
11. Let the
heavens rejoice, and let the earth be glad : let the sea make a noise, and all
that therein is.
12. Let the
field be joyful, and all that is in it : then shall all the trees of the wood
rejoice before the Lord.
13. For he
cometh, for he cometh to judge the earth : and with righteousness to judge the
world, and the people with his truth.
The
Collect.
O GOD, who by the leading of a star didst manifest thy
only-begotten Son to the Gentiles: Mercifully grant, that we, which know thee
now by faith, may after this life have the fruition of thy glorious Godhead;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The
First Sunday after the Epiphany.
Nunc dimittis.
St. Luke ii. 29.
LORD,
now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace : according to thy word.
For mine eyes
have seen : thy salvation,
Which thou
hast prepared : before the face of all people;
To be a light
to lighten the Gentiles : and to be the glory of thy people Israel.
Glory be to
the Father, &c.
As it was in
the beginning, &c.
The
Collect.
O LORD, we beseech thee mercifully to receive the prayers of
thy people which call upon thee; and grant that they may both perceive and know
what things they ought to do, and also may have grace and power faithfully to
fulfil the same; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
O
God, our heavenly Father, whose voice
was heard at the Baptism of Thine only-begotten Son, declaring Him to be the
One with whom Thou art well-pleased: pour down Thy Holy Ghost upon Thy faithful
people, that we may rejoice in this same sonship that we have received from
Thee through our Baptism into Christ; who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the
same Holy Ghost: ever one God, world without end. Amen (The Brotherhood Prayer Book).
