Prayer, by: Peter Pindar Stearns (b. 1931) Psalm 139 Domine, probasti BCP. 474 O LORD, thou hast searched me out, and known me. * Thou knowest my down-sitting and mine up-rising; thou understandest my thoughts long before.

Jesus said, “I am the light of the world; he that followeth me shall not walk in darkness, but shall have the light of life.” John 8:12

CONFESSION OF SIN

BCP p. 62

The officiant says to the people Dear friends in Christ, here in the presence of Almighty God, let us kneel in silence, and with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, so that we may obtain forgiveness by his infinite goodness and mercy.

3

Officiant and People together, all kneeling Almighty and most merciful Father, we have erred and strayed from thy ways like lost sheep, we have followed too much the devices and desires of our own hearts, we have offended against thy holy laws, we have left undone those things which we ought to have done, and we have done those things which we ought not to have done.

But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us, spare thou those who confess their faults, restore thou those who are penitent, according to thy promises declared unto mankind in Christ Jesus our Lord; and grant, O most merciful Father, for his sake, that we may hereafter live a godly, righteous, and sober life, to the glory of thy holy Name. Amen.

The Priest alone stands and says The Almighty and merciful Lord grant you absolution and remission of all of your sins, true repentance, amendment of life, and the grace and consolation of his Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Lessons LESSON 1

Hebrews 11:32- 12: 2

And what more shall I say? I do not have time to tell about Gideon, Barak, Samson, Jephthah, David, Samuel and the prophets, who through faith conquered kingdoms, administered justice, and gained what was promised; who shut the mouths of lions, quenched the fury of the flames, and escaped the edge of the sword; whose weakness was turned to strength; and who became powerful in battle and routed foreign armies. Women received back their dead, raised to life again. Others were tortured and refused to be released, so that they might gain a better resurrection. Some faced jeers and flogging, while still others were chained and put in prison. They were stoned; they were sawed in two; they were put to death by the sword.

They went about in sheepskins and goatskins, destitute, persecuted and mistreated—the world was not worthy of them. They wandered in deserts and mountains, and in caves and holes in the ground. These were all commended for their faith, yet none of them received what had been promised. God had planned something better for us so that only together with us would they be made perfect. Therefore, since we are surrounded by such a great cloud of witnesses, let us throw off everything that hinders and the sin that so easily entangles, and let us run with perseverance the race marked out for us. Let us fix our eyes on Jesus, the author and perfecter of our faith, who for the joy set before him endured the cross, scorning its shame, and sat down at the right hand of the throne of God.

Here endeth the Lesson.

MAGNIFICAT My soul doth magnify the Lord, And my spirit hath rejoicèd in God my Saviour.

For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden.

For behold, from hence-forth all generations shall call me blessed.

For he that is mighty hath magnifièd me; And holy is his Name.

And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations.

He hath showèd strength with his arm; He hath scatterèd the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat, And hath exalted the humble and meek.

6

from Service in F By: Harold Friedell

He hath fillèd the hungry with good things; And the rich he has sent empty away.

He rememb’ring his mercy Hath holpen his servant Israel; As he promisèd to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever.

Glory be to the Father, And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.

LESSON 2

Revelation 21:1-4, 22-22:5

Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “Now the dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. I did not see a temple in the city, because the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.

The city does not need the sun or the moon to shine on it, for the glory of God gives it light, and the Lamb is its lamp. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their splendor into it. On no day will its gates ever be shut, for there will be no night there. The glory and honor of the nations will be brought into it. Nothing impure will ever enter it, nor will anyone who does what is shameful or deceitful, but only those whose names are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Then the angel showed me the river of the water of life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit, yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them light. And they will reign for ever and ever.”

Here endeth the Lesson.

NUNC DIMITTIS (Song of Simeon)

from Service in F By: Harold Friedell

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace, According to thy word.

For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles, And to be the glory of the people Israel.

Glory be to the Father, And to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

The Rev. Donnie McDaniel, Associate Rector

+ APOSTLES’ CREED Chanted by the Officiant and people together on one tone, all standing.

I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried.

He descended into hell.

The third day he rose again from the dead.

He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty.

From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

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

ANTHEM Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem, sempiternam requiem.

Pie Jesu

By: Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) from: Requiem in D minor, Op. 48 Anna Grace Jordan, Soloist Merciful Lord Jesus, grant them rest, Etermal rest.

REMEMBRANCE OF THE FAITHFUL DEPARTED Lector: Christ says, take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, People: For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light; and you will find rest for your souls.

Lector: In the new Jerusalem there will be no need of sun or moon, for the glory of God will be its light.

People: Before the Lamb is a multitude from every nation, and they worship God night and day.

Officiant and people Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us and to all men.

We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for thine inestimable 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 beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful; and that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end.
