Hello and welcome to the Daily Office podcast, the No Fus, No Frills podcast for Morning and Evening Prayer, according to the ACNA's 2019 Book of Common Prayer.

I'm your host, Andrew Russell, and welcome to evening prayer.

Before we begin our time together, let's spend a few moments in silence.

I will thank the Lord for giving me counsel. My heart also chastens me in the night season.

I have set the Lord always before me. He is at my right hand.

Therefore I shall not fall. Let us humbly confess our sins to Almighty God.

Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from your ways like lost sheep. We have followed too

much the devices and desires of our own hearts. We have offended against your holy laws.

We have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we

ought not to have done. And apart from your grace, there is no health in us.

O Lord, have mercy upon us. Spare all those who confess their faults. Restore all those

who are penitent according to your promises declared to all people in Christ Jesus our Lord.

And grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may now live a godly, righteous,

and sober life to the glory of your holy name. Amen. Grant to your faithful people,

merciful Lord, pardon and peace that we may be cleansed from all our sins and serve you with a quiet

mind through Jesus Christ, our Lord. Amen. O Lord, open our lips,

and our mouth shall proclaim your praise. O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit, as it was in the beginning,

is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Praise the Lord. The Lord's name be praised.

O gladsome light, pure brightness of the ever-living Father in heaven.

O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed, now as we come to the setting of the sun and our eyes

behold the Vesper Light, we sing your praises, O God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
