Music Notes By: Ashley Sosis

On page 144 of the Book of Common Prayer, Te Deum laudamus (God, We Praise You), is listed in a handy Table of Suggested Canticles at Morning Prayer under “Sundays: After the New Testament Reading”. If you love classical music, you may be thinking of the Berlioz Te Deum (50 minutes long), Handel’s Dettingem Te Deum (40 minutes long), or Bruckner Te Deum (30 Minutes long), and bracing yourself for a very long service this morning!

Don’t worry! There are many fabulous common-use settings of the Te Deum that we use here at Trinity for morning prayer that come in under ten minutes. We won’t make you stand during them, either. Today’s C. Villiers Stanford Te Deum in Bb straddles the line between a Concert setting (like the pieces mentioned above) and a church anthem.

I have met many musicians that are passionate about Te Deum settings. Some have a “bucket list” of Te Deum settings. Some think of it as a universal Christian Anthem, the kind of music that you should sing with your hand over your heart. I hope our canticle of praise this morning ignites that same fire in your heart. God be praised!

At the Procession, all STAND and sing together.

PROCESSIONAL HYMN

371, Thou, whose almighty word MOSCOW

Officiant

I will arise and go to my father, and I will say to him, "Father, I have sinned against heaven, and before you; I am no longer worthy to be called your son." -Luke 15:18, 19

CONFESSION OF SIN The Officiant says to the people

Dearly beloved, we have come together in the presence of Almighty God our heavenly Father, to set forth his praise, to hear his holy Word, and to ask, for ourselves and on behalf of others, those things that are necessary for our life and our salvation. And so that we may prepare ourselves in heart and mind to worship him, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy. ď‚š3

Officiant and People together, all kneeling

Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone.

We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves.

We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

The Officiant alone stands and says

Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen.

Be thankful unto him, and speak good of his name.

For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting: and his truth endureth from generation to generation.

Mightier than the sound of many waters, mightier than the breakers of the sea,* mightier is the LORD who dwells on high.

Your testimonies are very sure,* and holiness adorns your house, O LORD, for ever and for evermore.

The Lessons LESSON I

Genesis 1: 1-27, 1:31-2:1

Pew Bible pg. 1

In the beginning, God created the heavens and the earth.1 The earth was without form and void, and darkness was over the face of the deep. And the Spirit of God was hovering over the face of the waters.2 And God said, “Let there be light,” and there was light.3 And God saw that the light was good. And God separated the light from the darkness.4 God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, the first day.5 And God said, “Let there be an expanse in the midst of the waters, and let it separate the waters from the waters.”6 And God made the expanse and separated the waters that were under the expanse from the waters that were above the expanse. And it was so. 7 And God called the expanse Heaven. And there was evening and there was morning, the second day. 8 And God said, “Let the waters under the heavens be gathered together into one place, and let the dry land appear.” And it was so.9 God called the dry land Earth, and the waters that were gathered together he called Seas. And God saw that it was good. 10 And God said, “Let the earth sprout vegetation, plants yielding seed, and fruit trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind, on the earth.” And it was so. 11 The earth brought forth vegetation, plants yielding seed according to their own kinds, and trees bearing fruit in which is their seed, each according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.12 And there was evening and there was morning, the third day.13 And God said, “Let there be lights in the expanse of the heavens to separate the day from the night.

And let them be for signs and for seasons, and for days and years, 14 and let them be lights in the expanse of the heavens to give light upon the earth.” And it was so. 15 And God made the two great lights—the greater light to rule the day and the lesser light to rule the night—and the stars.16 And God set them in the expanse of the heavens to give light on the earth,17 to rule over the day and over the night, and to separate the light from the darkness. And God saw that it was good.18 And there was evening and there was morning, the fourth day.19 And God said, “Let the waters swarm with swarms of living creatures, and let birds fly above the earth across the expanse of the heavens.” 20 So God created the great sea creatures and every living creature that moves, with which the waters swarm, according to their kinds, and every winged bird according to its kind.

And God saw that it was good.21 8

And God blessed them, saying, “Be fruitful and multiply and fill the waters in the seas, and let birds multiply on the earth.”22 And there was evening and there was morning, the fifth day.23 And God said, “Let the earth bring forth living creatures according to their kinds—livestock and creeping things and beasts of the earth according to their kinds.” And it was so.24 And God made the beasts of the earth according to their kinds and the livestock according to their kinds, and everything that creeps on the ground according to its kind. And God saw that it was good.25 Then God said, “Let us make man in our image, after our likeness. And let them have dominion over the fish of the sea and over the birds of the heavens and over the livestock and over all the earth and over every creeping thing that creeps on the earth.”26 So God created man in his own image, in the image of God he created him; male and female he created them. 27 And God saw everything that he had made, and behold, it was very good. And there was evening and there was morning, the sixth day.31 Thus the heavens and the earth were finished, and all the host of them.1

LESSON 2

Acts 9: 10-31

Pew Bible pg. 917

Now there was a disciple at Damascus named Ananias. The Lord said to him in a vision, “Ananias.” And he said, “Here I am, Lord.”10 And the Lord said to him, “Rise and go to the street called Straight, and at the house of Judas look for a man of Tarsus named Saul, for behold, he is praying,11 and he has seen in a vision a man named Ananias come in and lay his hands on him so that he might regain his sight.”12 But Ananias answered, “Lord, I have heard from many about this man, how much evil he has done to your saints at Jerusalem.13 And here he has authority from the chief priests to bind all who call on your name.”14 But the Lord said to him, “Go, for he is a chosen instrument of mine to carry my name before the Gentiles and kings and the children of Israel.15 For I will show him how much he must suffer for the sake of my name.” 16 So Ananias departed and entered the house. And laying his hands on him he said, “Brother Saul, the Lord Jesus who appeared to you on the road by which you came has sent me so that you may regain your sight and be filled with the Holy Spirit.”17 And immediately something like scales fell from his eyes, and he regained his sight. Then he rose and was baptized;18 and taking food, he was strengthened. For some days he was with the disciples at Damascus.19 And immediately he proclaimed Jesus in the synagogues, saying, “He is the Son of God.”20 And all who heard him were amazed and said, “Is not this the man who made havoc in Jerusalem of those who called upon this name? And has he not come here for this purpose, to bring them bound before the chief priests?”21 But Saul increased all the more in strength, and confounded the Jews who lived in Damascus by proving that Jesus was the Christ. 22 When many days had passed, the Jews plotted to kill him,23 but their plot became known to Saul. They were watching the gates day and night in order to kill him,24 but his disciples took him by night and let him down through an opening in the wall, lowering him in a basket.25 And when he had come to Jerusalem, he attempted to join the disciples. And they were all afraid of him, for they did not believe that he was a disciple. 26 But Barnabas took him and brought him to the apostles and declared to them how on the road he had seen the Lord, who spoke to him, and how at Damascus he had preached boldly in the name of Jesus.27 So he went in and out among them at Jerusalem, preaching boldly in the name of the Lord.28 And he spoke and disputed against the Hellenists. But they were seeking to kill him.29 And when the brothers learned this, they brought him down to Caesarea and sent him off to Tarsus.30 So the church throughout all Judea and Galilee and Samaria had peace and was being built up. And walking in the fear of the Lord and in the comfort of the Holy Spirit, it multiplied.31 12 

TE DEUM LAUDAMUS

by: C. Villiers Stanford

Sung by the Choir.

We praise Thee, O God, we acknowledge The to be the Lord.

All the earth doth worship Thee, the Father everlasting.

To Thee all Angels cry aloud, the Heavens, and all the pow’rs therein.

To Thee Cherubim and Seraphim continually do cry, Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth; Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of Thy Glory.

The glorious company of the Apostles praise Thee.

The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise Thee.

The noble army of Martyrs praise Thee.

The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge Thee; The Father of an infinite Majesty; Thine honourable, true, and only Son; Also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.

Thou art the King of Glory, O Christ.

Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.

When thou tookest upon Thee to deliver man, Thou didst not abhor the Virgin’s womb.

When Thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death, Thou didst open the Kingdom of Heaven to all believers.

Thou sittest at the right hand of God, in the Glory of the Father.

We believe that Thou shalt come to be our Judge.

We therefore pray Thee, help Thy servants, whom Thou hast redeemed with Thy precious blood.

Make them to be number’d with Thy Saints in glory everlasting.

O Lord, save Thy people, and bless Thine heritage.

Govern them, and lift them up forever.

Day by day, we magnify Thee; And we worship Thy Name, ever world without end.

Vouchsafe, O Lord, to keep us this day without sin.

O Lord, have mercy upon us.

O Lord, let Thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in Thee.

O Lord, in Thee have I trusted: let me never be confounded.

LESSON 3

Luke 3: 7-18

Pew Bible pg. 858

He said therefore to the crowds that came out to be baptized by him, “You brood of vipers! Who warned you to flee from the wrath to come?7 Bear fruits in keeping with repentance. And do not begin to say to yourselves, ‘We have Abraham as our father.’

For I tell you, God is able from these stones to raise up children for Abraham. 8 Even now the axe is laid to the root of the trees. Every tree therefore that does not bear good fruit is cut down and thrown into the fire.”9 And the crowds asked him, “What then shall we do?”10 And he answered them, “Whoever has two tunics is to share with him who has none, and whoever has food is to do likewise.”11 Tax collectors also came to be baptized and said to him, “Teacher, what shall we do?”12 And he said to them, “Collect no more than you are authorized to do.”13 Soldiers also asked him, “And we, what shall we do?” And he said to them, “Do not extort money from anyone by threats or by false accusation, and be content with your wages.”14 As the people were in expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he might be the Christ, 15 John answered them all, saying, “I baptize you with water, but he who is mightier than I is coming, the strap of whose sandals I am not worthy to untie. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire.16 His winnowing fork is in his hand, to clear his threshing floor and to gather the wheat into his barn, but the chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.”17 So with many other exhortations he preached good news to the people.18

The Rev. Iain Boyd

THE APOSTLES’ CREED Officiant and People together, all standing and chanting on one tone

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth; I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.

He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.

He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.

He descended to the dead.

On the third day he rose again.

He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Amen.

COLLECT FOR SUNDAYS O God, you make us glad with the weekly remembrance of the glorious resurrection of your Son our Lord: Give us this day such blessing through our worship of you, that the week to come may be spent in your favor; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

A COLLECT FOR THE RENEWAL OF LIFE O God, the King eternal, whose light divides the day from the night and turns the shadow of death into the morning: Drive far from us all wrong desires, incline our hearts to keep your law, and guide our feet into the way of peace; that, having done your will with cheerfulness while it was day, we may, when night comes, rejoice to give you thanks; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

WELCOME AND ANNOUNCEMENTS OFFERTORY ANTHEM

King of Glory

by: T. Frederick H. Candlyn

Choir: King of glory, King of peace, I will love Thee; And that love may never cease, I will move Thee.

Thou hast granted my request, Thou hast heard me; Thou didst note my working breast, Thou hast spared me.

Wherefore with my utmost art I will sing Thee, And the cream of all my heart I will bring Thee.

Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me, And alone, when they replied, Thou didst hear me.

Seven whole days, not one in seven, I will praise Thee; In my heart, though not in heav’n, I can raise Thee, Small it is, in this poor sort to enroll Thee: E’en eternity’s too short to extol Thee.

THE GENERAL THANKSGIVING Officiant and People

Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we your unworthy servants give you humble thanks for all your goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all whom you have made.

We bless you for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for your immeasurable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ;

for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory.

And, we pray, give us such an awareness of your mercies, that with truly thankful hearts we may show forth your praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to your service, and by walking before you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory throughout all ages. Amen.

A PRAYER OF ST. CHRYSOSTOM Almighty God, you have given us grace at this time with one accord to make our common supplication to you; and you have promised through your well-beloved Son that when two or three are gathered together in his Name you will be in the midst of them: Fulfill now, O Lord, our desires and petitions as may be best for us; granting us in this world knowledge of your truth, and in the age to come life everlasting. Amen.

The Officiant concludes:

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with us all evermore.

Amen.

Baptismal Dates: The next Baptism date in 2015 is Nov. 22nd. If you are interested in having your child baptized, please contact Melissa Ciavarella at trinityfamilyministry3000@gmail.com.

Pastoral Care at Trinity: It is of greatest importance that you contact the church if you are ill or in the hospital. "In case of illness, the Minister of the Congregation is to be notified." Book of Common Prayer (BCP) p. 453. Current privacy laws do not allow the hospital to contact the clergy or to release names of patients. The only way that the church will know of your hospitalization is if you, a friend, or family member call the Parish Office to alert us. Also please notify us if a family member or a friend is in need of prayer or a pastoral call. Thank you for helping us help you.

Please Wear Your Name Tag!: Trinity is blessed by having beautiful name tags that have been crossstitched and laminated for long life. Indeed, they will last a very long time if they just sit in the rack, never being handled or clipped onto clothing! New members find it very helpful to put names with faces, and visitors welcome such an effort on our behalf. As Trinity attracts more new families and individuals, it is most important that all parishioners wear their nametags each Sunday. If you do not have one yet, or have lost or misplaced your nametag, please contact Elise Reed at ereed811@aol.com.

We Record the 11am Service: If you missed or particularly enjoyed an 11am service, let our music director know that you would like a recording of the music that was played/sung.
