11am Choral Eucharist, Sunday, October 29th, 2017
Rite I, 21st Sunday after Pentecost
Themes from the Readings: David, confronted by Nathan, knows that he sinned in the eyes of the Lord and when David’s son dies David reacts in an unexpected way; happy are those whose transgressions are forgiven; “My grace is sufficient for you, my power is made perfect in weakness”; Jesus says, “abide in me and I in you”, for apart from Him you can do nothing

Choir: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
1 Have mercy on me, O God,
according to your steadfast love;
according to your abundant mercy
blot out my transgressions.
2 Wash me thoroughly from my iniquity,
and cleanse me from my sin!
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
3 For I know my transgressions,
and my sin is ever before me.
4 Against you, you only, have I sinned
and done what is evil in your sight,
so that you may be justified in your words
and blameless in your judgment.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
5 Behold, I was brought forth in iniquity,
and in sin did my mother conceive me.
6 Behold, you delight in truth in the inward being,
and you teach me wisdom in the secret heart.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
7 Purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean;
wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.
8 Let me hear joy and gladness;
let the bones that you have broken rejoice.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
9 Hide your face from my sins,
and blot out all my iniquities.
10 Create in me a clean heart, O God,
and renew a right spirit within me.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
11 Cast me not away from your presence,
and take not your Holy Spirit from me.
12 Restore to me the joy of your salvation,
and uphold me with a willing spirit.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
13 Then I will teach transgressors your ways,
and sinners will return to you.
14 Deliver me from bloodguiltiness, O God,
O God of my salvation
and my tongue will sing aloud
of your righteousness.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
15 O Lord, open my lips,
and my mouth will declare your praise.
16 For you will not delight in sacrifice,
or I would give it;
you will not be pleased with a burnt offering.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
17 The sacrifices of God are a broken spirit;
a broken and contrite heart,
O God, you will not despise.
18 Do good to Zion in your good pleasure;
build up the walls of Jerusalem;
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
19 then will you delight in right sacrifices,
in burnt offerings and whole burnt offerings;
then bulls will be offered on your altar.
People: Create in me a clean heart, O God.
