    Fifth Sunday after the Epiphany

    Set us free, O God, from the bondage of our sins, and give us the liberty of that abundant life which you have made known to us in your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

    Psalms

    Fundamenta ejusBCP p. 711

    1On the holy mountain stands the city he has founded; *the Lord loves the gates of Zion more than all the dwellings of Jacob.

    2Glorious things are spoken of you, *O city of our God.

    3I count Egypt and Babylon among those who know me; *behold Philistia, Tyre, and Ethiopia: in Zion were they born.

    4Of Zion it shall be said, “Everyone was born in her, *and the Most High himself shall sustain her.”

    5The Lord will record as he enrolls the peoples, *“These also were born there.”

    6The singers and the dancers will say, *“All my fresh springs are in you.”

    Domine, refugiumBCP p. 717

    1Lord, you have been our refuge *from one generation to another.

    2Before the mountains were brought forth, or the land and the earth were born, *from age to age you are God.

    3You turn us back to the dust and say, *“Go back, O child of earth.”

    4For a thousand years in your sight are like yesterday when it is past *and like a watch in the night.

    5You sweep us away like a dream; *we fade away suddenly like the grass.

    6In the morning it is green and flourishes; *in the evening it is dried up and withered.

    7For we consume away in your displeasure; *we are afraid because of your wrathful indignation.

    8Our iniquities you have set before you, *and our secret sins in the light of your countenance.

    9When you are angry, all our days are gone; *we bring our years to an end like a sigh.

    10The span of our life is seventy years, perhaps in strength even eighty; *yet the sum of them is but labor and sorrow, for they pass away quickly and we are gone.

    11Who regards the power of your wrath? *who rightly fears your indignation?

    12So teach us to number our days *that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

    13Return, O Lord; how long will you tarry? *be gracious to your servants.

    14Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in the morning; *so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.

    15Make us glad by the measure of the days that you afflicted us *and the years in which we suffered adversity.

    16Show your servants your works *and your splendor to their children.

    17May the graciousness of the Lord our God be upon us; *prosper the work of our hands; prosper our handiwork.

    Isa. 61:10-62:5

    10 I will greatly rejoice in the Lord, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clothed me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. 11 For as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up, so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations. 1 For Zion’s sake I will not keep silent, and for Jerusalem’s sake I will not rest, until her vindication shines out like the dawn, and her salvation like a burning torch. 2 The nations shall see your vindication, and all the kings your glory; and you shall be called by a new name that the mouth of the Lord will give. 3 You shall be a crown of beauty in the hand of the Lord, and a royal diadem in the hand of your God. 4 You shall no more be termed Forsaken, and your land shall no more be termed Desolate; but you shall be called My Delight Is in Her, and your land Married; for the Lord delights in you, and your land shall be married. 5 For as a young man marries a young woman, so shall your builder marry you, and as the bridegroom rejoices over the bride, so shall your God rejoice over you.

    Mark 10:46-52

    46 They came to Jericho. As he and his disciples and a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the roadside. 47 When he heard that it was Jesus of Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, ‘Jesus, Son of David, have mercy on me!’ 48 Many sternly ordered him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly, ‘Son of David, have mercy on me!’ 49 Jesus stood still and said, ‘Call him here.’ And they called the blind man, saying to him, ‘Take heart; get up, he is calling you.’ 50 So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and came to Jesus. 51 Then Jesus said to him, ‘What do you want me to do for you?’ The blind man said to him, ‘My teacher, let me see again.’ 52 Jesus said to him, ‘Go; your faith has made you well.’ Immediately he regained his sight and followed him on the way.

    2 Tim. 4:1-8

    1 In the presence of God and of Christ Jesus, who is to judge the living and the dead, and in view of his appearing and his kingdom, I solemnly urge you: 2 proclaim the message; be persistent whether the time is favorable or unfavorable; convince, rebuke, and encourage, with the utmost patience in teaching. 3 For the time is coming when people will not put up with sound doctrine, but having itching ears, they will accumulate for themselves teachers to suit their own desires, 4 and will turn away from listening to the truth and wander away to myths. 5 As for you, always be sober, endure suffering, do the work of an evangelist, carry out your ministry fully. 6 As for me, I am already being poured out as a libation, and the time of my departure has come. 7 I have fought the good fight, I have finished the race, I have kept the faith. 8 From now on there is reserved for me the crown of righteousness, which the Lord, the righteous judge, will give me on that day, and not only to me but also to all who have longed for his appearing.
