Psalm 120

Joshua A. Roberts

April 2, 2023 • Chamber Choir

1 In my distress I called to the Lord, 

and He answered me. 

2 Deliver me, O Lord, 

from lying lips, 

from a deceitful tongue. 

3 What shall be given to you, 

and what more shall be done to you, 

you deceitful tongue? 

4 A warrior’s sharp arrows, 

with glowing coals of the broom tree! 

5 Woe to me, that I sojourn in Meshech, 

that I dwell among the tents of Kedar! 

6 Too long have I had my dwelling 

among those who hate peace. 

7 I am for peace, 

but when I speak, they are for war! 

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; 

As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. 

Amen.

Text: Luke 2:29-32, 1662 BCP  Lord, now lettest Thou Thy servant depart in peace: according to Thy word.  For mine eyes have seen: Thy salvation,  Which Thou hast prepared: before the face of all people;  To be a light to lighten the Gentiles: and to be the glory of Thy people Israel.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost;  As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. 

Magnificat

Text: Luke 1:46-55, 1662 BCP  My soul doth magnify the Lord: and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior.  For He hath regarded: the lowliness of His handmaiden.  For behold, from henceforth: all generations shall call me blessed.  For He that is mighty hath magnified me: and holy is His Name.  And His mercy is on them that fear Him: throughout all generations.  He hath showed strength with His arm:  He hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.  He hath put down the mighty from their seat: and hath exalted the humble and meek.  He hath filled the hungry with good things: and the rich He hath sent empty away.  He remembering His mercy hath holpen His servant Israel: as He promised to our  forefathers, Abraham and his seed, for ever.  Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost;  As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
