Psalm 98

  1. O sing to the Lord a new song,
    for he has done marvellous things.
    His right hand and his holy arm
    have gained him victory.
  2. The Lord has made known his victory;
    he has revealed his vindication in the sight of the nations.
  3. He has remembered his steadfast love and faithfulness
    to the house of Israel.
    All the ends of the earth have seen
    the victory of our God.
  4. Make a joyful noise to the Lord, all the earth;
    break forth into joyous song and sing praises.
  5. Sing praises to the Lord with the lyre,
    with the lyre and the sound of melody.
  6. With trumpets and the sound of the horn
    make a joyful noise before the King, the Lord.
  7. Let the sea roar, and all that fills it;
    the world and those who live in it.
  8. Let the floods clap their hands;
    let the hills sing together for joy
  9. at the presence of the Lord, for he is coming
    to judge the earth.
    He will judge the world with righteousness,
    and the peoples with equity.

Collect

O God, who in the work of creation
commanded the light to shine out of darkness:
we pray that the light of the glorious gospel of Christ
may shine into the hearts of all your people,
dispelling the darkness of ignorance and unbelief
and revealing to them the knowledge of your glory
in the face of Jesus Christ our Lord . . .
Amen.
