The following Confession of Sin may then be said; or the Office may continue at once with “Lord, open our lips.”
Confession of Sin
The Officiant says to the people
Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of Almighty God our heavenly Father, to set forth his praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation. And so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy.
Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor.
Silence may be kept.
Officiant and People together, all kneeling
Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.
The Priest alone stands and says
Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.
A deacon or lay person using the preceding form remains kneeling, and substitutes “us” for “you” and “our” for “your.”
The Invitatory and Psalter
All stand
OfficiantLord, open our lips.
PeopleAnd our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Officiant and People
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.
Alleluia.
Then follows one of the Invitatory Psalms, Venite or Jubilate.
In Easter Week, in place of an Invitatory Psalm, the Pascha Nostrum is sung or said. It may also be used daily until the Day of Pentecost.
Venite
Psalm 95:1-7
Come, let us sing to the Lord; *let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
For the Lord is a great God, *and a great King above all gods.
In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *and the heights of the hills are his also.
The sea is his, for he made it, *and his hands have molded the dry land.
Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
95
Venite, exultemusBCP p. 7241Come, let us sing to the Lord; *let us shout for joy to the Rock of our salvation.
2Let us come before his presence with thanksgiving *and raise a loud shout to him with psalms.
3For the Lord is a great God, *and a great King above all gods.
4In his hand are the caverns of the earth, *and the heights of the hills are his also.
5The sea is his, for he made it, *and his hands have molded the dry land.
6Come, let us bow down, and bend the knee, *and kneel before the Lord our Maker.
7For he is our God, and we are the people of his pasture and the sheep of his hand. *Oh, that today you would hearken to his voice!
8Harden not your hearts, as your forebears did in the wilderness, *at Meribah, and on that day at Massah, when they tempted me.
9They put me to the test, *though they had seen my works.
10Forty years long I detested that generation and said, *“This people are wayward in their hearts; they do not know my ways.”
11So I swore in my wrath, *“They shall not enter into my rest.”
Jubilate
Psalm 100
Be joyful in the Lord, all you lands; *serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence with a song.
Know this: The Lord himself is God; *he himself has made us, and we are his; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving; go into his courts with praise; *give thanks to him and call upon his Name.
For the Lord is good; his mercy is everlasting; *and his faithfulness endures from age to age.
Christ our Passover
Pascha Nostrum
1 Corinthians 5:7-8; Romans 6:9-11; 1 Corinthians 15:20-22
Alleluia. Christ our Passover has been sacrificed for us; * therefore let us keep the feast,
Not with the old leaven, the leaven of malice and evil, *but with the unleavened bread of sincerity and truth. Alleluia.
Christ being raised from the dead will never die again; *death no longer has dominion over him.
The death that he died, he died to sin, once for all; *but the life he lives, he lives to God.
So also consider yourselves dead to sin, *and alive to God in Jesus Christ our Lord. Alleluia.
Christ has been raised from the dead, *the first fruits of those who have fallen asleep.
For since by a man came death, * by a man has come also the resurrection of the dead.
For as in Adam all die, *so also in Christ shall all be made alive. Alleluia.
Then follows
The Psalm or Psalms Appointed
75
Confitebimur tibiBCP p. 6911We give you thanks, O God, we give you thanks, *calling upon your Name and declaring all your wonderful deeds.
2“I will appoint a time,” says God; *“I will judge with equity.
3Though the earth and all its inhabitants are quaking, *I will make its pillars fast.
4I will say to the boasters, ‘Boast no more,’ *and to the wicked, ‘Do not toss your horns;
5Do not toss your horns so high, *nor speak with a proud neck.’”
6For judgment is neither from the east nor from the west, *nor yet from the wilderness or the mountains.
7It is God who judges; *he puts down one and lifts up another.
8For in the Lord’s hand there is a cup, full of spiced and foaming wine, which he pours out, *and all the wicked of the earth shall drink and drain the dregs.
9But I will rejoice for ever; *I will sing praises to the God of Jacob.
10He shall break off all the horns of the wicked; *but the horns of the righteous shall be exalted.
76
Notus in JudaeaBCP p. 6921In Judah is God known; *his Name is great in Israel.
2At Salem is his tabernacle, *and his dwelling is in Zion.
3There he broke the flashing arrows, *the shield, the sword, and the weapons of battle.
4How glorious you are! *more splendid than the everlasting mountains!
5The strong of heart have been despoiled; they sink into sleep; *none of the warriors can lift a hand.
6At your rebuke, O God of Jacob, *both horse and rider lie stunned.
7What terror you inspire! *who can stand before you when you are angry?
8From heaven you pronounced judgment; *the earth was afraid and was still;
9When God rose up to judgment *and to save all the oppressed of the earth.
10Truly, wrathful Edom will give you thanks, *and the remnant of Hamath will keep your feasts.
11Make a vow to the Lord your God and keep it; *let all around him bring gifts to him who is worthy to be feared.
12He breaks the spirit of princes, *and strikes terror in the kings of the earth.
At the end of the Psalms is sung or said
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit:
as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

The Apostles’ Creed
Officiant and People together, all standing
I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth. I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
