Dixit injustus
Your love, O Lord, reaches to the heavens,
  and your faithfulness to the clouds.
Your righteousness is like the strong mountains,
		 your justice like the great deep;
  you save both man and beast, O Lord.
How priceless is your love, O God!
  your people take refuge under the
		 shadow of your wings.
They feast upon the abundance of your house;
  you give them drink from the river of your delights.
For with you is the well of life,
   and in your light we see light.
Continue your loving-kindness to those who know you,
  and your favor to those who are true of heart.

PSALM 46                                      Sung by a soloist.
Deus noster refugium

God is our refuge and strength,
  a very present help in trouble.
Therefore we will not fear, though the earth be moved,
  and though the mountains be toppled into the
		 depths of the sea;
Though its waters rage and foam,
  and though the mountains tremble at its tumult.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
  the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
There is a river whose streams make glad the city of God,
  the holy habitation of the Most High.
God is in the midst of her;
		 she shall not be overthrown;
  God shall help her at the break of day.
The nations make much ado, and the kingdoms are shaken;
  God has spoken, and the earth shall melt away.
The Lord of hosts is with us;
  the God of Jacob is our stronghold.
Come now and look upon the works of the Lord,
  what awesome things he has done on earth.
It is he who makes war to cease in all the world;
    he breaks the bow, and shatters the spear,
		 and burns the shields with fire.
“Be still, then, and know that I am God;
  I will be exalted among the nations;
		 I will be exalted in the earth.”
The Lord of hosts is with us;
  the God of Jacob is our stronghold.

      Rejoice and exult with all your heart,
O daughter Jerusalem!
The Lord has taken away the judgments against you,
he has turned away your enemies.
The king of Israel, the Lord, is in your midst;
you shall fear disaster no more.
On that day it shall be said to Jerusalem:
Do not fear, O Zion;
do not let your hands grow weak.
The Lord, your God, is in your midst,
a warrior who gives victory;
he will rejoice over you with gladness,
he will renew you in his love;
he will exult over you with loud singing
as on a day of festival.
I will remove disaster from you,
so that you will not bear reproach for it.
I will deal with all your oppressors
at that time.
And I will save the lame
and gather the outcast,
and I will change their shame into praise
and renown in all the earth.
At that time I will bring you home,
at the time when I gather you;
for I will make you renowned and praised
among all the peoples of the earth,
when I restore your fortunes
before your eyes, says the Lord.

PRAYER
The Dean Let us pray.
Silence is kept.

O
         GOD of unchangeable power and eternal light: Look
         favorably on your whole Church, that wonderful
         and sacred mystery; by the effectual working of your
providence, carry out in tranquility the plan of salvation; let
the whole world see and know that things which were cast
down are being raised up, and things which had grown old
are being made new, and that all things are being brought to
their perfection by him through whom all things were made,
your Son Jesus Christ our Lord.
People		     Amen.
All are seated.

TE DEUM                                      Sung by the Choir.

W
          E praise thee, O God;
          we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
          All the earth doth worship thee,
the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, the Heavens,
and all the Powers therein.
To thee Cherubim, and Seraphim continually do cry,
Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world
doth acknowledge thee,
The Father of an infinite majesty,
Thine honourable, true, and only Son,
Also the Holy Ghost the Comforter.
Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man,
Thou didst not abhor the Virgin’s womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death,
Thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God,
in the Glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge.
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants,
Whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints
in glory everlasting.
Holy, holy, holy.
