TiS 125 1. The God of Abraham praise who reigns enthroned above, ancient of everlasting days, and God of love: the Lord, the great I AM by earth and heaven confessed!

We bow and bless the sacred name for ever blessed.

4. The God who reigns on high the great archangels sing, and ‘Holy, holy, holy,’ cry, ‘almighty King!’ who was and is the same and evermore shall be, the Lord, our Father, great I AM eternally.

2. The God of Abraham praise, whose all-sufficient grace shall guide us all our happy days in all our ways.

He calls us each a friend, he calls himself our God; and he shall save us to the end through Jesus’ blood.

6. The whole triumphant host gives thanks to God on high: ‘Hail, Father, Son and Spirit blest!’ they ever cry.

Hail, Abraham’s God and ours! with heaven our songs we raise: all might and majesty are yours, and endless praise.

Thomas Olivers 1725–99 alt. based on the Jewish Yigdal c.13th cent. and Revelation 4 and 5

Invocation:

Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit.

Blessed be God's kingdom, now and for ever.

You, O Lord, are a God merciful and gracious, slow to anger and abounding in steadfast love and faithfulness. Psalm 86.15 3

Saving God, in Jesus Christ you opened for us a new and living way into your presence: give us pure hearts and constant wills to worship you in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Genesis 28.10-19a 10

Jacob left Beer-sheba and went towards Haran. 11 He came to a certain place and stayed there for the night, because the sun had set. Taking one of the stones of the place, he put it under his head and lay down in that place. 12 And he dreamed that there was a ladder set up on the earth, the top of it reaching to heaven; and the angels of God were ascending and descending on it. 13 And the Lord stood beside him and said, ‘I am the Lord , the God of Abraham your father and the God of Isaac; the land on which you lie I will give to you and to your offspring; 14 and your offspring shall be like the dust of the earth, and you shall spread abroad to the west and to the east and to the north and to the south; and all the families of the earth shall be blessed in you and in your offspring. 15 Know that I am with you and will keep you wherever you go, and will bring you back to this land; for I will not leave you until I have done what I have promised you.’ 16 Then Jacob woke from his sleep and said, ‘Surely the Lord is in this place—and I did not know it!’ 17 And he was afraid, and said, ‘How awesome is this place! This is none other than the house of God, and this is the gate of heaven.’ 18 So Jacob rose early in the morning, and he took the stone that he had put under his head and set it up for a pillar and poured oil on the top of it. 19 He called that place Bethel; but the name of the city was Luz at the first.

Psalm : 139: 5-10, 23-24

CHOIR: You are before me, Lord, you are behind, and over me you have spread out your hand; such knowledge is too wonderful for me, too high to grasp, too great to understand.

ALL: Then where, Lord, from your presence shall I go, and from your Spirit where, Lord, shall I fly?

If I ascend to heaven you are there, and still are with me if in hell I lie; and if I take my flight into the dawn, or if I dwell on ocean’s farthest shore, your mighty hand will rest upon me still, and your right hand will guard me evermore.

Search me, O God, search me and know my ways; try me, O God, my mind and spirit try; keep me from any path that gives you pain and lead me in the everlasting way.

Second Reading: Romans 8.12-25 12

So then, brothers and sisters, we are debtors, not to the flesh, to live according to the flesh— 13 for if you live according to the flesh, you will die; but if by the Spirit you put to death the deeds of the body, you will live. 14 For all who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. 15 For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, ‘Abba! Father!’ 16 it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, 17 and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ—if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him. 18 I consider that the sufferings of this present time are not worth comparing with the glory about to be revealed to us. 19 For the creation waits with eager longing for the revealing of the children of God; 20 for the creation was subjected to futility, not of its own will but by the will of the one who subjected it, in hope 21 that the creation itself will be set free from its bondage to decay and will obtain the freedom of the glory of the children of God. 22 We know that the whole creation has been groaning in labour pains until now; 23 and not only the creation, but we ourselves, who have the first fruits of the Spirit, groan inwardly while we wait for adoption, the redemption of our bodies. 24 For in hope we were saved. Now hope that is seen is not hope. For who hopes for what is seen? 25 But if we hope for what we do not see, we wait for it with patience.

Gradual Hymn: TiS 413 1. Holy Spirit, come confirm us in the truth that Christ makes known; we have faith and understanding through your helping gifts alone.

2. Holy Spirit, come console us, come as advocate to plead, loving Spirit from the Father, grant in Christ the help we need.

3. Holy Spirit, come renew us, come yourself to make us live: holy, through your loving presence, holy, through the gifts you give.

4. Holy Spirit, come possess us, you the love of Three in One, Holy Spirit of the Father, Holy Spirit of the Son. William Brian Foley 1919– Words by permission Faber Music, London

He put before them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27 And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, “Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?” 28 He answered, “An enemy has done this.” The slaves said to him, “Then do you want us to go and gather them?” 29 But he replied, “No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30 Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ 36 Then he left the crowds and went into the house. And his disciples approached him, saying, ‘Explain to us the parable of the weeds of the field.’ 37 He answered, ‘The one who sows the good seed is the Son of Man; 38 the field is the world, and the good seed are the children of the kingdom; the weeds are the children of the evil one, 39 and the enemy who sowed them is the devil; the harvest is the end of the age, and the reapers are angels. 40 Just as the weeds are collected and burned up with fire, so will it be at the end of the age. 41 The Son of Man will send his angels, and they will collect out of his kingdom all causes of sin and all evildoers,42 and they will throw them into the furnace of fire, where there will be weeping and gnashing of teeth. 43 Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father. Let anyone with ears listen!

We pray for those called to find a new Incumbent for this place.

Bountiful God, give to this parish a faithful pastor who will faithfully speak your word and minister your sacraments; an encourager who will equip your people for ministry and enable us to fulfil our calling.

Give to those who will choose, wisdom, discernment and patience, and to us give warm and generous hearts, for Jesus Christ's sake. Amen.

We remember before God with thanksgiving the lives of Shirley Dott (2001), Joan Holberton (1999), and May Simonsen (2013) as we come to the anniversary of their entry into your nearer presence.

TiS 194 1. O love how deep, how broad, how high! it fills the heart with ecstasy that God, the Son of God, should take our mortal form for mortals’ sake.

2. He sent no angel to our race of higher or of lower place but wore the robe of human frame himself, and to this lost world came.

3. For us he was baptized, and bore his holy fast, and hungered sore; for us temptations sharp he knew; for us the tempter overthrew.

5. For us to wicked hands betrayed, scourged, mocked, in purple robe arrayed, he bore the shameful cross and death; for us at length gave up his breath.

6. For us he rose from death again, for us he went on high to reign, for us he sent his Spirit here to guide, to strengthen and to cheer.

7. To him whose boundless love has won salvation for us through his Son, to God the Father, glory be both now and through eternity.

Attrib. Thomas à Kempis 1379–1471 tr. Benjamin Webb 1819–85 alt.

4. For us he prayed, for us he taught, for us his daily works he wrought, by words and signs and actions, thus still seeking not himself but us.

1. There’s a light upon the mountains, and the day is at the spring when our eyes shall see the beauty and the glory of the King; weary was our heart with waiting, and the night-watch seemed so long, but his triumph day is breaking, and we hail it with a song.

2. There’s a hush of expectation, and a quiet in the air, and the breath of God is moving in the fervent breath of prayer: for the suffering, dying Jesus is the Christ upon the throne, and the travail of our spirit is the travail of his own.

3. He is breaking down the barriers, he is casting up the way, he is calling for his angels to build up the gates of day: but his angels here are human, not the shining hosts above; for the drum-beats of his army are the heart-beats of our love.

4. Hark, we hear a distant music, and it comes with fuller swell — the great triumph song of Jesus, of our King, Immanuel: Zion, go you forth to meet him; and, my soul, be swift to bring all your finest and your dearest for the triumph of our King!

Henry Burton 1840–1930 alt.
