Psalm 95:1-7 Venite, BCP p. 82

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!

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.

Canticle S - A Song of Our True Nature –Julian of Norwich, EoW p. 40

Christ revealed our frailty and our falling, *
our trespasses and our humiliations.

Christ also revealed his blesséd power, *
his blesséd wisdom and love.

He protects us tenderly and as sweetly when we are in greatest need; *
he raises us in spirit
and turns everything to glory and joy without ending.

God is the ground and the substance,
the very essence of nature;*

God is the true father and mother of natures.

We are all bound to God by nature, *
and we are all bound to God by grace.

And this grace is for all the world, *
because it is our precious mother, Christ.

For this fair nature was prepared by Christ
for the honor and nobility of all, *
and for the joy and bliss of salvation.

Amen

Good morning, welcome to Daily Prayer from St Peter’s in Lewes, DE. My name is Sean Scheller. Today is Friday, September 4, 2026, the Friday after the Fourteenth Sunday after Pentecost. Today the Episcopal Church remembers Bishop Paul Jones, an early 20th century bishop who opposed war as being unchristian.

We will be using an adapted version of Moring Prayer, Rite II from The Book of Common Prayer 1979 beginning on page 80. We are using the translation of the Venite from Enriching Our Worship I found on page 21. You can download a copy of The Book of Common Prayer and Enriching Our Worship 1 for free from the Episcopal Church’s website. I have put the links in the description.

Alleluia.
Officiant and People
Seek the One who made the Pleiades and Orion,
and turns deep darkness into the morning,
and darkens the day into night;
who calls for the waters of the sea
and pours them out upon the surface of the earth:
The Lord is the name of our God.

Amos 5:8

Canticle J. A Song of Judith, EoW p. 35
Judith 16:13-16

Officiant and People
I will sing a new song to my God, *
for you are great and glorious, wonderful in strength, invincible.
Let the whole creation serve you, *
for you spoke and all things came into being.
You sent your breath and it formed them, * no one is able to resist your voice.

Mountains and seas are stirred to their depths, * rocks melt like wax at your presence.
But to those who fear you, * you continue to show mercy.
No sacrifice, however fragrant, can please you, *
but whoever fears the Lord shall stand in your sight for ever.

Amen.

The Invitatory and Psalter
Officiant Lord, open our lips.
People And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.

it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen.

Psalm 40:4-10, Expectans, expectavi - BCP p. 640

Happy are they who trust in the Lord! *
they do not resort to evil spirits or turn to false gods.
Great things are they that you have done, O Lord my God!
how great your wonders and your plans for us! *
there is none who can be compared with you.

Oh, that I could make them known and tell them! *
but they are more than I can count.

In sacrifice and offering you take no pleasure * (you have given me ears to hear you);
Burnt-offering and sin-offering you have not required, *
and so I said, “Behold, I come.
In the roll of the book it is written concerning me: *
‘I love to do your will, O my God; your law is deep in my heart.’”

I proclaimed righteousness in the great congregation; *
behold, I did not restrain my lips; and that, O Lord, you know.

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.
