The Epiphany, or
the Manifestation of Christ to the Gentiles
6
January
Psalm
46. Deus noster refugium.
GOD is our hope and strength, * a very present
help in trouble.
2 Therefore will we not fear, though the earth
be moved, * and though the hills be carried into the midst of the sea;
3 Though the waters thereof rage and swell, * and
though the mountains shake at the tempest of the same.
4 There is a river, the streams whereof make
glad the city of God; * the holy place of the tabernacle of the Most Highest.
5 God is in the midst of her, therefore shall
she not be removed; * God shall help her, and that right early.
6 The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms
are moved; * but God hath showed his voice, and the earth shall melt away.
7 The Lord of hosts is with us; * the God of
Jacob is our refuge.
8 O come hither, and behold the works of the
Lord, * what destruction he hath brought upon the earth.
9 He maketh wars to cease in all the world; *
he breaketh the bow, and knappeth the spear in sunder, and burneth the chariots
in the fire.
10 Be still then, and know that I am God: * I
will be exalted among the nations, and I will be exalted in the earth. 11 The
Lord of hosts is with us; * the God of Jacob is our refuge.
Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and
to the Holy Ghost;
As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever
shall be : world without end. Amen.
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.
