Lutheran Matins

Oh, come, let us sing unto the Lord:

let us make a joyful noise to the Rock of our salvation.

Let us come before His presence with thanksgiving:

and make a joyful noise unto Him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God:

and a great King above all gods.

In His hand are the deep places of the earth:

the strength of the hills is His also.

The sea is His, and He made it:

and His hands formed the dry land.

Oh, come, let us worship and bow down:

let us kneel before the Lord, our Maker.

For He is our God:

and we are the people of His pasture and the sheep of His hand.

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.

Blessed be the Lord God of Israel;

for He hath visited and redeemed His people,

And hath raised up an horn of salvation for us

in the house of His servant David;

As He spake by the mouth of His holy prophets,

which have been since the world began:

That we should be saved from our enemies,

and from the hand of all who hate us;

To perform the mercy promised to our fathers,

and to remember His holy covenant;

The oath which He sware to our father Abraham,

that He would grant unto us

That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies

might serve Him without fear,

In holiness and righteousness before Him,

all the days of our life.

And thou, child, shalt be called the prophet of the Highest;

for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare His ways;

To give knowledge of salvation unto His people

by the remission of their sins,

Through the tender mercy of our God,

whereby the Dayspring from on high hath visited us,

To give light to them that sit in darkness and in the shadow of death,

to guide our feet into the way of peace.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son,

and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning, both now and ever,

and unto ages of ages. Amen.
