Andrew the Apostle

Almighty God, who gave such grace to your apostle Andrew that he readily obeyed the call of your Son Jesus Christ, and brought his brother with him: Give unto us, who are called by your Word, grace to follow him without delay, and to bring those near to us into his gracious presence; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen
(BCP, ELW)

1 The heavens declare the glory of God,
   and the sky above proclaims his handiwork.
2 Day to day pours out speech,
   and night to night reveals knowledge.
3 There is no speech, nor are there words,
   whose voice is not heard.
4 Their voice goes out through all the earth,
   and their words to the end of the world.
   In them he has set a tent for the sun,
5 which comes out like a bridegroom leaving his chamber,
   and, like a strong man, runs its course with joy.
6 Its rising is from the end of the heavens,
   and its circuit to the end of them,
   and there is nothing hidden from its heat.
Psalm 19 – English Standard Version
