Evening Prayer I for the Third Sunday of Advent

God, come to my assistance.
— Lord, make haste to help me.

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.

HYMN

Creator of the stars of night,
your people's everlasting light,
Jesus, Redeemer save us all,
And hear your servants when they call.

Now, grieving that the ancient curse
should doom to death a universe,
You heal all men who need your grace
to save and heal a ruined race.

At whose great Name, majestic now,
all knees must bend, all hearts must bow;
all things in heaven and earth adore
And own the King for evermore.

To God the Father, God the Son,
and God the Spirit, Three in One,
praise, honor, might, and glory be
from age to age eternally.

PSALMODY

Ant. 1 Rejoice, Jerusalem, let your joy overflow; your Savior will come to you, alleluia.

Psalm 113
Praise the name of the Lord
He has cast down the mighty and has lifted up the lowly (Luke 1:52).

Praise, O servants of the Lord,
praise the name of the Lord!
May the name of the Lord be blessed
both now and for evermore!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
praised be the name of the Lord!

Ant. Rejoice, Jerusalem, let your joy overflow; your Savior will come to you, alleluia.

High above all nations is the Lord,
above the heavens his glory.
Who is like the Lord, our God,
who has risen on high to his throne
yet stoops from the heights to look down,
to look down upon heaven and earth?

Ant. Rejoice, Jerusalem, let your joy overflow; your Savior will come to you, alleluia.

From the dust he lifts up the lowly,
from his misery he raises the poor
to set him in the company of princes,
yes, with the princes of his people.
To the childless wife he gives a home
and gladdens her heart with children.

Ant. Rejoice, Jerusalem, let your joy overflow; your Savior will come to you, alleluia.

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.

Psalm-prayer

Lord Jesus, Word of God, surrendering the brightness of your glory you became man so that we may be raised from the dust to share your very being. May there be innumerable children of the Church to offer homage to your name from the rising of the sun to its setting.

Ant. Rejoice, Jerusalem, let your joy overflow; your Savior will come to you, alleluia.

Ant. 2 I, the Lord, am coming to save you; already I am near; soon I will free you from your sins.

Psalm 116
Thanksgiving in the Temple
Through Christ let us offer God a continual sacrifice of praise (Hebrews 13:15).

I trusted, even when I said:
“I am sorely afflicted,”
and when I said in my alarm:
“No man can be trusted.”
