1. Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the King of creation; O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation. Come all who hear, brothers and sisters draw near, praise him in glad adoration.

4. Praise to the Lord, who when darkness of sin is abounding, who, when the godless do triumph, our best hopes confounding, sheds forth his light, scatters the horrors of night, saints with his mercy surrounding.

2. Praise to the Lord who in all things is wondrously reigning and, as on wings of an eagle, uplifting, sustaining: have you not seen all that is needed has been sent by his gracious ordaining?

5. Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in me adore him! All that has life and breath, come now with praises before him. Let the Amen sound from his people again: gladly for ever adore him. Joachim Neander 1650â€“80 tr. Catherine Winkworth 1827â€“78 and others

3. Praise to the Lord, who will prosper our work and defend us; surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend us: ponder anew what the Almighty can do as with his love he befriends us.

Invocation:

Blessed be God: Father, Son and Holy Spirit. Blessed be God's kingdom, now and for ever.

By grace you have been saved through faith, and this is not your own doing; it is the gift of God. Ephesians 2.8â€“9

Gloria (Dudman)

Loving and righteous God, your boundless generosity exceeds all that we can desire or deserve, and you give to the last worker all you promised to the first: liberate us from all jealousy and greed, that we may be free to love and serve others, and in your service may find our true reward; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Exodus 16.2-15 The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. 3 The Israelites said to them, ‘If only we had died by the hand of the Lord in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger.’ 4 Then the Lord said to Moses, ‘I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. In that way I will test them, whether they will follow my instruction or not. 5 On the sixth day, when they prepare what they bring in, it will be twice as much as they gather on other days.’ 6 So Moses and Aaron said to all the Israelites, ‘In the evening you shall know that it was the Lord who brought you out of the land of Egypt, 7 and in the morning you shall see the glory of the Lord, because he has heard your complaining against the Lord . For what are we, that you complain against us?’ 8 And Moses said, ‘When the Lord gives you meat to eat in the evening and your fill of bread in the morning, because the Lord has heard the complaining that you utter against him—what are we? Your complaining is not against us but against the Lord.’ 9 Then Moses said to Aaron, ‘Say to the whole congregation of the Israelites, “Draw near to the Lord, for he has heard your complaining.” ’ 10 And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked towards the wilderness, and the glory of the Lord appeared in the cloud. 11 The Lord spoke to Moses and said, 12 ‘I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, “At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the Lord your God.” ’ 13 In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. 14 When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. 15 When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, ‘What is it?’ For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, ‘It is the bread that the Lord has given you to eat. 2

Psalm 105 â€“ sung by the HTK Trio, setting by Thomas Clark. O render thanks and bless the Lord, Invoke his sacred name: Acquaint the nations with his deeds, His matchless deeds proclaim. Sing to his praise in lofty hymns, His wondrous works rehearse; Make them the theme of your discourse And subject of your verse. Rejoice in his almighty name, Alone to be adored; And let their hearts o'erflow with joy That humbly seek the Lord. Seek ye the Lord, his saving strength Devoutly still implore; And where he's ever present, seek His face for evermore.

Second Reading: Philippians 1.21-30 21

For to me, living is Christ and dying is gain. 22 If I am to live in the flesh, that means fruitful labour for me; and I do not know which I prefer. 23 I am hard pressed between the two: my desire is to depart and be with Christ, for that is far better; 24 but to remain in the flesh is more necessary for you. 25 Since I am convinced of this, I know that I will remain and continue with all of you for your progress and joy in faith, 26 so that I may share abundantly in your boasting in Christ Jesus when I come to you again. 27 Only, live your life in a manner worthy of the gospel of Christ, so that, whether I come and see you or am absent and hear about you, I will know that you are standing firm in one spirit, striving side by side with one mind for the faith of the gospel, 28 and are in no way intimidated by your opponents. For them this is evidence of their destruction, but of your salvation. And this is Godâ€™s doing. 29 For he has graciously granted you the privilege not only of believing in Christ, but of suffering for him as wellâ€” 30 since you are having the same struggle that you saw I had and now hear that I still have.

Gradual Hymn: TiS 499

1. Lord Jesus, joy of loving hearts, true fount of life, our lives sustain, from any bliss that earth imparts we turn unfilled to you again.

4. For you our restless spirits yearn, whatever comes, until the last, glad when your presence we discern, blest when our faith can hold you fast.

2. Your truth unchanged has ever stood, you save all those who on you call, to those yet seeking you are good, to those who find you, all in all. 3. We taste you, Lord, the living bread, and long to feast upon you still, we drink of you, the fountainhead, and thirst our souls from you to fill.

5. For ever, Jesus, with us stay, make all our moments calm and bright, chase the dark night of sin away, shed on this world your holy light. Anon., Latin, 12th cent. tr. Ray Palmer 1808â€“87 alt.

‘For the kingdom of heaven is like a landowner who went out early in the morning to hire labourers for his vineyard. 2After agreeing with the labourers for the usual daily wage, he sent them into his vineyard. 3When he went out about nine o’clock, he saw others standing idle in the market-place; 4and he said to them, “You also go into the vineyard, and I will pay you whatever is right.” So they went. 5When he went out again about noon and about three o’clock, he did the same. 6And about five o’clock he went out and found others standing around; and he said to them, “Why are you standing here idle all day?” 7They said to him, “Because no one has hired us.” He said to them, “You also go into the vineyard.” 8When evening came, the owner of the vineyard said to his manager, “Call the labourers and give them their pay, beginning with the last and then going to the first.” 9When those hired about five o’clock came, each of them received the usual daily wage. 10Now when the first came, they thought they would receive more; but each of them also received the usual daily wage. 11And when they received it, they grumbled against the landowner, 12saying, “These last worked only one hour, and you have made them equal to us who have borne the burden of the day and the scorching heat.” 13But he replied to one of them, “Friend, I am doing you no wrong; did you not agree with me for the usual daily wage? 14Take what belongs to you and go; I choose to give to this last the same as I give to you. 15Am I not allowed to do what I choose with what belongs to me? Or are you envious because I am generous?” 16So the last will be first, and the first will be last.’

We remember before God with thanksgiving the lives of Bill Dott (2011) and Elsie McCall (1964) as we come to the anniversary of their entry into your nearer presence.

1. Thanks to God whose Word was spoken in the deed that made the earth. His the voice that called a nation, his the fires that tried its worth. God has spoken, God has spoken: praise him for his open Word.

4. Thanks to God whose Word is published in the tongues of every race. See its glory undiminished by the change of time and place. God has spoken, God has spoken: praise him for his open Word.

2. Thanks to God whose Word incarnate human flesh has glorified, who by life and death and rising grace abundant has supplied. God has spoken, God has spoken: praise him for his open Word.

5. Thanks to God whose Word is answered by the Spirit’s voice within. Here we drink of joy unmeasured, life redeemed from death and sin. God has spoken, God has spoken: praise him for his open Word.

3. Thanks to God whose Word was written in the Bible’s sacred page, record of the revelation showing God to every age. God has spoken, God has spoken: praise him for his open Word.

Priest: â€Ś. do this as often as you drink it in remembrance of me.

Priest: â€Ś in songs of never ending praise:

1. God of freedom, God of justice, God whose love is strong as death, God who saw the dark of prison, God who knew the price of faith: touch our world of sad oppression with your Spirit’s healing breath.

3. Make in us a captive conscience quick to hear, to act, to plead; make us truly sisters, brothers of whatever race or creed: teach us to be fully human, open to each other’s need. Shirley Erena Murray 1931– alt.

2. Rid the earth of torture’s terror, God whose hands were nailed to wood; hear the cries of pain and protest, God who shed the tears and blood; move in us the power of pity, restless for the common good.
