Recorded on March 10, 2013 - Fourth Sunday of Lent. Evensong Services by Schola Nova, led by Anne Pell at St. Barnabas Episcopal Church, Bainbridge Island, Washington.

Evening Prayer/Vespers:

Oh 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 forever.

Amen.


"The church gathers in the evening to give thanks for the day that is ending...
As day ends, the church again and again lifts up to God the needs and sorrows and failures of all the world..." (The Liturgy Of The Hours).

Closing Prayer:

Let us pray: O GOD, through your holy mysteries the world turns safely into darkness and returns again to light. At evening's close we give into your hands our unfinished tasks, our unsolved problems, and our unfulfilled hopes. Send us your Spirit to comfort us and to guide us. To your great love and protection we commit each other and all those we cherish, knowing that your loving kindness surrounds us and shields us. Watch over us through the silent hours of this night, and bless us as we awaken to do your will.

Amen.
