August 13, 2026 YEAR 7: DAY 156
Let me hear of your loving kindness in the morning for I put my trust in you: Show me the road that I must walk for I lift up my soul to you. Psalm 143:8
CPWI 382 Come, Let Us Join Our Cheerful Songs
1 Come, let us join our cheerful songs
with angels round the throne;
ten thousand thousand are their tongues,
but all their joys are one.
2 ‘Worthy the Lamb that died,’ they cry,
‘to be exalted thus’;
‘Worthy the Lamb,’ our lips reply,
‘for he was slain for us.’
3 Jesus is worthy to receive
honour and power divine;
and blessings, more than we can give,
be, Lord, for ever thine.
4 let all creation join in one
to bless the sacred name
of him that sits upon the throne,
and to adore the Lamb
Hear us, O Lord
For your mercy is great.
We will exalt you, O God our Saviour,
And praise your name forever.
Glory to the Father and to the Son: and to the Holy Spirit;
As it was in the beginning is now, and shall be forever. Amen
O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness during the day, we may, when night comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
CANTICLE Jubilate Psalm 100
O shout to the Lord in triumph all the earth:
serve the Lord with gladness,
and come before His face with songs of joy.
Know that the Lord He is God:*
it is He who has made us and we are His,
we are His people and the sheep of His pasture.
Come into His gates with thanksgiving, and into His courts with praise:* give thanks to Him and bless His holy Name.
For the Lord is good, His loving mercy is forever:*
His faithfulness throughout all generations.
GLORIA
A READING: JOHN 15:4-7
4 Abide in me as I abide in you. Just as the branch cannot bear fruit by itself unless it abides in the vine, neither can you unless you abide in me. 5 I am the vine; you are the branches. Those who abide in me and I in them bear much fruit, because apart from me you can do nothing. 6 Whoever does not abide in me is thrown away like a branch and withers; such branches are gathered, thrown into the fire, and burned. 7 If you abide in me and my words abide in you, ask for whatever you wish, and it will be done for you.
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to GOD.
[…that we, who cannot exist without you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will…
In the end, our salvation is found in the Lord Jesus Christ, in our obedience and faithfulness to the task given to us by our God and Father, through him. We must be grounded in Christ, drawing our life and necessities from him, just as plants draw their substance from the soil. His word and commandments give life and health and purpose to our lives. There are levels to this and we can journey into eternity without reaching our limits in Christ Jesus our Lord.
… ‘Worthy the Lamb that died,’ they cry, ‘to be exalted thus’;
‘Worthy the Lamb,’ our lips reply, ‘for he was slain for us…’ ]
