1. Let earth and heaven combine, their voices all agree, to praise in songs divine the incarnate deity, our God contracted to a span, incomprehensibly made Man.

3. He deigns in flesh to appear, widest extremes to join; to bring our vileness near and make us all divine: and we the life of God shall know, for God is manifest below.

2. Unsearchable the love that has the Saviour brought; the grace is far above our own or angelsâ€™ thought: enough for us that God, we know, our God, is manifest below.

4. Made perfect first in love, and sanctified by grace, we shall from earth remove, and see his glorious face: then shall his love be fully showed, and we shall then be lost in God. Charles Wesley 1707â€“88 alt.

Invocation:

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

Come, let us return to the Lord, that we may live before him. Hosea 6.1a, 2b 3

Gloria (Dudman)

Grant, O merciful God, that your people may have that mind that was in Christ Jesus, who emptied himself, and took the form of a servant, and in humility became obedient even to death. For you have highly exalted him and bestowed on him the name that is above every name, Jesus Christ, the Lord; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in everlasting glory.

Exodus 17.1-7 From the wilderness of Sin the whole congregation of the Israelites journeyed by stages, as the Lord commanded. They camped at Rephidim, but there was no water for the people to drink. 2 The people quarrelled with Moses, and said, ‘Give us water to drink.’ Moses said to them, ‘Why do you quarrel with me? Why do you test the Lord?’ 3 But the people thirsted there for water; and the people complained against Moses and said, ‘Why did you bring us out of Egypt, to kill us and our children and livestock with thirst?’ 4 So Moses cried out to the Lord, ‘What shall I do with this people? They are almost ready to stone me.’ 5 The Lord said to Moses, ‘Go on ahead of the people, and take some of the elders of Israel with you; take in your hand the staff with which you struck the Nile, and go. 6 I will be standing there in front of you on the rock at Horeb. Strike the rock, and water will come out of it, so that the people may drink.’ Moses did so, in the sight of the elders of Israel. 7 He called the place Massah and Meribah, because the Israelites quarrelled and tested the Lord, saying, ‘Is the Lord among us or not?’ 1

Psalm 78.1-7 The response is sung first by the trio and then by the congregation. Thereafter it is sung by the congregation after each set of verses. The verses are sung by the trio. Response: (all)

Verses 1. Hear my teaching, O my people; Incline your ears to the words of my mouth. 2. I will open my mouth in a parable; I will pour forth mysteries from of old, 3. Such as we have heard and know, Which our forebears have told us. RESPONSE 4. We will not hide from their children, But will recount to generations to come, The praises of the Lord and his power And the wonderful works he has done. 5. He laid a solemn charge on Jacob And made it a law in Israel, Which he commanded them to teach their children, RESPONSE 6. That the generations to come might know, And the children yet unborn, That they in turn might tell it to their children; 7. So that they might put their trust in God And not forget the deeds of God, But keep his commandments, RESPONSE

Second Reading: Philippians 2.1-13 1 If then there is any encouragement in Christ, any consolation from love, any sharing in the Spirit, any compassion and sympathy, 2 make my joy complete: be of the same mind, having the same love, being in full accord and of one mind. 3 Do nothing from selfish ambition or conceit, but in humility regard others as better than yourselves. 4 Let each of you look not to your own interests, but to the interests of others. 5 Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus, 6 who, though he was in the form of God, did not regard equality with God as something to be exploited, 7 but emptied himself, taking the form of a slave, being born in human likeness. And being found in human form, 8 he humbled himself and became obedient to the point of deathâ€” even death on a cross. 9 Therefore God also highly exalted him and gave him the name that is above every name, 10 so that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, 11 and every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. 12 Therefore, my beloved, just as you have always obeyed me, not only in my presence, but much more now in my absence, work out your own salvation with fear and trembling; 13 for it is God who is at work in you, enabling you both to will and to work for his good pleasure.

Gradual Hymn: TiS 240

1. All go to God when they are sorely placed: they plead to him for help, for peace, for bread, for mercy, for them sinning, sick or dead. We all do so in faith or unbelief. 2. We go to God when he is sorely placed, find him poor, scorned, unsheltered, without bread, whelmed under weight of evil, weak or dead. We stand by God then, in his hour of grief. 3. God comes to us when we are sorely placed, body and spirit feeds us with his bread. For everyone, he as a man hangs dead: forgiven life he gives all through his death. Dietrich Bonhoeffer 1906–45 tr. Walter Henry Farquharson 1936– alt. Translation © W. H. Farquharson Music by permission the Doris Smith Estate

When he entered the temple, the chief priests and the elders of the people came to him as he was teaching, and said, ‘By what authority are you doing these things, and who gave you this authority?’ 24 Jesus said to them, ‘I will also ask you one question; if you tell me the answer, then I will also tell you by what authority I do these things. 25 Did the baptism of John come from heaven, or was it of human origin?’ And they argued with one another, ‘If we say, “From heaven”, he will say to us, “Why then did you not believe him?” 26 But if we say, “Of human origin”, we are afraid of the crowd; for all regard John as a prophet.’ 27 So they answered Jesus, ‘We do not know.’ And he said to them, ‘Neither will I tell you by what authority I am doing these things. 28 ‘What do you think? A man had two sons; he went to the first and said, “Son, go and work in the vineyard today.” 29 He answered, “I will not”; but later he changed his mind and went. 30 The father went to the second and said the same; and he answered, “I go, sir”; but he did not go. 31 Which of the two did the will of his father?’ They said, ‘The first.’ Jesus said to them, ‘Truly I tell you, the taxcollectors and the prostitutes are going into the kingdom of God ahead of you. 32 For John came to you in the way of righteousness and you did not believe him, but the tax-collectors and the prostitutes believed him; and even after you saw it, you did not change your minds and believe him.

We remember before God with thanksgiving the lives of Beth Brodribb (2013), Coral Drew (2009), Robert McCall (1958) and Rachel Human (2007) as we come to the anniversary of their entry into your nearer presence.

1. Lord of creation, to you be all praise! Most mighty your working, most wondrous your ways! Your glory and might are beyond us to tell, and yet in the heart of the humble you dwell. 2. Lord of all power, I give you my will, in joyful obedience your tasks to fulfil. Your bondage is freedom; your service is song; and, held in your keeping, my weakness is strong. 3. Lord of all wisdom, I give you my mind: rich truth that surpasses our knowledge to find, what eye has not seen and what ear has not heard is taught by your Spirit and shines from your word.

4. Lord of all bounty, I give you my heart; I praise and adore you for all you impart, your love to inspire me, your counsel to guide, your presence to shield me, whatever betide. 5. Lord of all being, I give you my all; if ever I leave you I stumble and fall; but, led in your service your word to obey, I’ll walk in your freedom to the end of the way. Words © Mrs J. Tyrell by permission Oxford University Press Music harmony © E. Routley by permission Oxford University Press Jack Copley Winslow 1882–1974 alt.

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. Christ is alive, with joy we sing; we celebrate our risen Lord, praising the glory of his name. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. 2. He is the grain of wheat that died, sown in distress and reaped in joy, yielding a harvest of new life. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. 3. He is the sun which brings the dawn: he is the light of all the world, setting us free from death and sin. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

5. He is the bread that comes from God, broken to feed us in our need, given to bring eternal life. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. 6. Christ is alive, with joy we sing; we celebrate our risen Lord, praising the glory of his name. Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
