Introit. GO ye into all the world: and preach the gospel to every creature. Their sound went forth through all the earth: and their words to the end of the world. Psalm. Thy Word is a lamp unto my feet: and a light unto my path.

O ALMIGHTY God, Who hast instructed Thy holy Church with the heavenly doctrine of Thy Evangelists: Give us grace, that being not like children carried away with every blast of vain doctrine, we may be established in the Truth of Thy Holy Gospel; through Jesus Christ, Thy Son, our Lord, Who liveth and reigneth with Thee and the Holy Ghost, ever One God, world without end. Amen.

Gradual. THEIR sound went forth through all the earth: and their words to the end of the world. V. The heavens declare the glory of God: and the firmament showeth His handiwork. Hallelujah. Hallelujah. V. I have chosen you out of the world: that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain. Hallelujah.

Collect, introit, and gradual from the Common Service Book of the Lutheran Church (1917), public domain.
