Bible Sunday

Collect for the day: Blessed Lord, who caused all holy Scriptures to be

written for our learning: help us so to hear them, to read, mark, learn and

inwardly digest them that, through patience, and the comfort of your holy

word, we may embrace and for ever hold fast the hope of everlasting life,

which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and

reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Amen

Psalm response: Happy are they who walk in the law of the Lord.
