Apostol § 258

Colossians 3:12–16
Prokeimenon, Tone 7

The righteous one shall rejoice in the Lord / and shall set his hope on Him.

Verse: Hear my voice, O God, when I pray unto Thee.

Brethren, as the elect of God, holy and beloved, put on tender mercies, kindness, humbleness of mind, meekness, longsuffering; forbearing with one another, and forgiving one another, if anyone has a quarrel against any; even as Christ forgave you, so also you must do. But above all these things put on love, which is the bond of perfection. And let the peace of God rule in your hearts, to which also you were called in one body; and be thankful. Let the Word of Christ dwell in you richly in all wisdom, teaching and admonishing one another in Psalms and hymns and spiritual songs, singing with grace in your hearts to the Lord.

Alleluia, Tone 6

Blessed is the man who feareth the Lord, who greatly delights in His commandments.

Verse: His seed shall be mighty in the land.

Communion Hymn

The righteous shall be in everlasting remembrance. He shall not fear evil tidings.
