Come, let us glorify the Lord.

With a loud voice let us all glorify the Creator, great in power and might, who has granted us to know him, the one nature and one infinite power, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

With the sound of trumpets sing glory before the Lord, the King.

With a loud voice let us all glorify the Creator, great in power and might, who has granted us to know him, the one nature and one infinite power, the Father, Son, and Holy Ghost.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; from everlasting, and for ever and ever. Amen.

How lovely to sing glory in this holy house, in which there are Prophets, Apostles, Martyrs, priests, and teachers, and in which the holy Table is set up for the pardon of the children of Adam.

On the third new moon after the people of Israel had gone forth out of the land of Egypt, on that day they came into the wilderness of Sinai. And when they set out from Rephidim and came into the wilderness of Sinai, they encamped in the wilderness; and there Israel encamped before the mountain. And Moses went up to God, and the Lord called to him out of the mountain, saying, "Thus you shall say to the house of Jacob, and tell the people of Israel: You have seen what I did to the Egyptians, and how I bore you on eagles' wings and brought you to myself. Now therefore, if you will obey my voice and keep my covenant, you shall be my own possession among all peoples; for all the earth is mine, and you shall be to me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. These are the words which you shall speak to the children of Israel."

So Moses came and called the elders of the people, and set before them all these words which the Lord had commanded him. And all the people answered together and said, "All that the Lord has spoken we will do." And Moses reported the words of the people to the Lord. And the Lord said to Moses, "Lo, I am coming to you in a thick cloud, that the people may hear when I speak with you, and may also believe you for ever."

Then Moses told the words of the people to the Lord...

Now when all the people perceived the thunderings and the lightnings and the sound of the trumpet and the mountain smoking, the people were afraid and trembled; and they stood afar off, and said to Moses, "You speak to us, and we will hear; but let not God speak to us, lest we die." And Moses said to the people, "Do not fear; for God has come to prove you, and that the fear of him may be before your eyes, that you may not sin."

And the people stood afar off, while Moses drew near to the thick darkness where God was.

Acts 2:1-21

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly a sound came from heaven like the rush of a mighty wind, and it filled all the house where they were sitting. And there appeared to them tongues as of fire, distributed and resting on each one of them. And they were all filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other tongues, as the Spirit gave them utterance.

Now there were dwelling in Jerusalem Jews, devout men from every nation under heaven. And at this sound the multitude came together, and they were bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in his own language. And they were amazed and wondered, saying, "Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us in his own native language? Parthians and Medes and Elamites and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabians, we hear them telling in our own tongues the mighty works of God." And all were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, "What does this mean?" But others mocking said, "They are filled with new wine."

But Peter, standing with the eleven, lifted up his voice and addressed them, "Men of Judea and all who dwell in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and give ear to my words. For these men are not drunk, as you suppose, since it is only the third hour of the day; but this is what was spoken by the prophet Joel:

'And in the last days it shall be, God declares,
that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh,
and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
and your young men shall see visions,
and your old men shall dream dreams;
yea, and on my menservants and my maidservants in those days
I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy.
And I will show wonders in the heaven above
and signs on the earth beneath,
blood, and fire, and vapor of smoke;
the sun shall be turned into darkness
and the moon into blood,
before the day of the Lord comes,
the great and manifest day.
And it shall be that whoever calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.'

Create in me a pure heart, O God.
Let us honor the descent of the Holy Spirit with spiritual songs. Hallelujah, hallelujah, yea hallelujah!

And renew your steadfast Spirit within me.
Let us honor the descent of the Holy Spirit with spiritual songs. Hallelujah, hallelujah, yea hallelujah!

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
Let us honor the descent of the Holy Spirit with spiritual songs. Hallelujah, hallelujah, yea hallelujah!

From everlasting, and for ever and ever, amen.
Let us honor the descent of the Holy Spirit with spiritual songs. Hallelujah, hallelujah, yea hallelujah!

Now concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I do not want you to be uninformed. You know that when you were heathen, you were led astray to dumb idols, however you may have been moved. Therefore I want you to understand that no one speaking by the Spirit of God ever says "Jesus be cursed!" and no one can say"Jesus is Lord" except by the Holy Spirit.

Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit; and there are varieties of service, but the same Lord; and there are varieties of working, but it is the same God who inspires them all in every one. To each is given the manifestation of the Spirit for the common good. To one is given through the Spirit the utterance of wisdom, and to another the utterance of knowledge according to the same Spirit, to another faith by the same Spirit, to another gifts of healing by the one Spirit, to another the working of miracles, to another prophecy, to another the ability to distinguish between spirits, to another various kinds of tongues, to another the interpretation of tongues. All these are inspired by one and the same Spirit, who apportions to each one individually as he wills.

For just as the body is one and has many members, and all the members of the body, though many, are one body, so it is with Christ. For by one Spirit we were all baptized into one body—Jews or Greeks, slaves or free—and all were made to drink of one Spirit.

For the body does not consist of one member but of many. If the foot should say, "Because I am not a hand, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. And if the ear should say, "Because I am not an eye, I do not belong to the body," that would not make it any less a part of the body. If the whole body were an eye, where would be the hearing? If the whole body were an ear, where would be the sense of smell? But as it is, God arranged the organs in the body, each one of them, as he chose. If all were a single organ, where would the body be? As it is, there are many parts, yet one body. The eye cannot say to the hand, "I have no need of you," nor again the head to the feet, "I have no need of you." On the contrary, the parts of the body which seem to be weaker are indispensable, and those parts of the body which we think less honorable we invest with the greater honor, and our unpresentable parts are treated with greater modesty, which our more presentable parts do not require. But God has so composed the body, giving the greater honor to the inferior part, that there may be no discord in the body, but that the members may have the same care for one another. If one member suffers, all suffer together; if one member is honored, all rejoice together.

Now you are the body of Christ and individually members of it. _

Create in me a pure heart, O God, and renew your steadfast spirit within me. Cast me not away from your presence; (3)

Take not your holy Spirit from me, but restore to me your delight and your salvation, and let your glorious spirit uphold me. (3)

"If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he will give you another Counselor, to be with you for ever, even the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him; you know him, for he dwells with you, and will be in you. . . .

"These things I have spoken to you, while I am still with you. But the Counselor, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he will teach you all things, and bring to your remembrance all that I have said to you. . .

“But when the Counselor comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, even the Spirit of truth, who proceeds from the Father, he will bear witness to me; and you also are witnesses, because you have been with me from the beginning. "I have said all this to you to keep you from falling away. They will put you out of the synagogues; indeed, the hour is coming when whoever kills you will think he is offering service to God. And they will do this because they have not known the Father, nor me. But I have said these things to you, that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you of them.

"I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, 'Where are you going?' But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Counselor will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convince the world concerning sin and righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no more; concerning judgment, because the ruler of this world is judged.

"I have yet many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the truth; for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”

Lay hold of armor and shield, and rise up in my assistance.

Christ clothed his Apostles with the armor of the Holy Spirit and revealed the hidden mystery of his Godhead, which is proclaimed in three qnome [persons].

He settled upon them as tongues, in the likeness of fire, and they began to speak the praises of Christ the Lord in various languages.

The people and the peoples were standing in great awe. What is this new thing which is happening, for hidden mysteries are being revealed by those who are unlearned and fishermen?

O Christ, who enriched your servants with your gifts, have pity upon your Church. Preserve her children and have mercy upon her.

The armor and sword in battle.

Pray, come to our aid, O Compassionate One, and deliver us. Grant us that ceaselessly with your saints we may sing glory to your Lordship.

You have determined for your priests authority on high and dominion in the depths. Receive at every hour their prayers, and open the door to their petition, and answer in your mercies their requests.

Consecrate with your holiness the deacons, the servants of your pleasant Mysteries, that they may hallow you in a holy manner, O Holy One who sanctifies all.

Again, pour out the dew of your mercies upon the faithful who take refuge in your churches, and hide them with your right arm from harm and contrary circumstances.

Make the hard times of avarice to depart from them, and grant them mercies in the eyes of kings. Loose their bonds in your mercies, and cause their judgment to issue in justice.

Make us all worthy to dwell in a quiet and restful habitation, to find mercies on the day of resitution, to be led according to your commandments, and to please the will of your Lordship.

O Christ, the Pacifier of all creation, bring peace to your Church. Preserve her children through the prayers of all your saints, and have mercy upon her.

Psalm 66

Make a joyful noise to God, all the earth;
Sing the honor of his name; sing the honor of his praise!
Say to God, "How terrible are your deeds!
In the multitude of your power your enemies shall be proved false by you.
In all the earth they shall worship you; they shall sing to you,
Sing praises to your name for ever."
They shall say, Come and see the works of God:
Whose wonders are multiplied to men.
He turned the sea into dry land;
They passed through the river on foot.
There we shall rejoice in him, who rules by his might for ever,
Whose eyes keep watch on the nations—
Let not the rebellious exalt themselves for ever.
Bless our God, O peoples,
Let the sound of his praise be heard,
Who has established our soul in life, and has not given our foot to stumbling.
For you, O God, have tested us; You have tried us
As they try silver.
You brought us into the net; you brought affliction on our loins;
You made men ride over our heads;
You brought us into fire and water;
And you brought us forth to a spacious place.
I will come to your house with reverence; I will pay you my vows,
That which opened my lips and the speech of my mouth during trouble.
I will offer to you fat burnt offerings, with the savor of rams;
I will sacrifice bulls and young goats.
Come and hear, and I will tell you,
All you servants of God,
What he has done for my soul.
I called to him with my mouth, and he answered me, and I extolled him with my tongue:
If you have seen iniquity in my heart, do not deliver me, O Lord.
Then God heard the voice of my petition.
Blessed be the Lord,
Because he has not ignored my prayer or removed his loving-kindness from me!

Psalm 86

Incline your ear, O Lord, and answer me,
For I am poor and needy.
Preserve my life, for you are good;
Save you servant, O God, who trusts in you.
Be gracious to me, O Lord,
For upon you I will cry all the day.
Gladden the soul of your servant,
For to you, O Lord, I have lifted up my soul.
For you, O Lord, are good
And great is your loving-kindness to all who call on you.
Give ear, O Lord, to my prayer;
Hearken to my cry.
In the day of my trouble I called upon you, and you answered me.
There is none like you, O Lord my God, nor are there any works like yours.
All the nations you have made
Shall come and bow down to you, O Lord,
And shall glorify your name, for you are great.
You alone, O God, do wondrous things.
Show us your way, O Lord, and I will walk in truth;
My heart will rejoice in those who fear your name.
I will give thanks to you, O Lord my God, with my whole heart,
And I will glorify your name for ever.
For your loving-kindness has multiplied toward me,
And you have delivered my soul from Sheol below.
O God, the wicked have risen up against me;
An assembly of mighty men have sought my life, and they have not kept you in mind.
But you, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious,
Long-suffering and abounding in loving-kindness and truth.
Turn to me and have mercy upon me;
Give strength to your servant, and save the son of your handmaid.
Perform for me a favorable sign,
That those who hate me may see and be put to shame
Because you, Lord, have helped me and comforted me.

And a deacon says at all prayers: Let us pray; peace be with us. Bow down. . . . . . Arise in the strength of God.

A new song, O my Lord, and an exalted confession, and prostrate adoration, and continual thanksgiving we are obliged to offer to your glorious Trinity at all times, O Lord of all, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit for ever. Amen.
