The Angelus is rung to call us to prayer

THE PREPARATION

INTROIT HYMN – Stand

All my hope on God is founded; he doth still my trust renew. Me through change and chance he guideth, only good and only true. God unknown, he alone calls my heart to be his own. God’s great goodness aye endureth, deep his wisdom, passing thought: splendour, light, and life attend him, beauty springeth out of naught. Evermore from his store new-born worlds rise and adore.

Daily doth th’Almighty Giver bounteous gifts on us bestow; his desire our soul delighteth, pleasure leads us where we go. Love doth stand at his hand; joy doth wait on his command. Still from man to God eternal sacrifice of praise be done, high above all praises praising for the gift of Christ his Son. Christ doth call one and all ye who follow shall not fall.

Bishop In the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

All Amen

Bishop The Lord be with you.

All And with thy spirit.

The Collect for Purity – Kneel

Almighty God unto whom all hearts be open,

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Through our own fault, in thought, and word, and deed,

And in what we have left undone.

For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,

Forgive us all that is past;

And grant that we may serve thee in newness of life,

To the glory of thy name. Amen

LITURGY OF THE WORD

Reading – Sit: Philippians 2: 1 – 11 – Miss Mair John

Reader This is the Word of the Lord.

All Thanks be to God

GRADUAL HYMN – Stand and turn to face the Gospel.

At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him king of glory now; ’tis the Father’s pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty word. Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners unto whom he came, faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious, when from death he passed:

Bore it up triumphant with its human light, through all ranks of creatures, to the central height, to the throne of Godhead, to the Father’s breast; filled it with the glory of that perfect rest. Name him, brothers, name him, with love as strong as death, but with awe and wonder and with bated breath: he is God the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord, ever to be worshipped, trusted, and adored.

Brothers, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father’s glory,
with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now.

Reader The Lord be with you.

All And with thy spirit.

The Gospel – Remain Standing: John 16: 13 – 15

All Glory be to thee, O Lord

Reader This is the Gospel of the Lord

All Praise be to thee O Christ

OFFERTORY HYMN

The wine, bread and collection are taken to the altar

The Altar is prepared for Communion

Father, Lord of all Creation,

Ground of Being, Life and Love;

Height and depth beyond description

Only life in you can prove;

You are mortal life’s dependence,

Thought, speech, sight are ours by grace;

Yours is every hour’s existence,

Sovereign Lord of time and space.

Jesus Christ, the Man for Others,

We your people, make our prayer;

Give us grace to love as brothers

All whose burdens we can share.

Where your name binds us together

You, Lord Christ, will surely be;

Where no selfishness can sever

There your love may all men see.

Holy Spirit, rushing, burning,

Wind and flame of Pentecost,

Fire our hearts afresh with yearning

To regain what we have lost.

May your love unite our action,

Nevermore to speak alone;

God, in us abolish faction,

God, through us your love make known.

COMMUNION HYMN

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart,
be all else but naught to me, save that thou art;
be thou my best thought in the day and the night,
both waking and sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word,
be thou ever with me, and I with thee, Lord;
be thou my great Father, and I thy true son;
be thou in me dwelling, and I with thee one.

Be thou my breastplate, my sword for the fight;
be thou my whole armour, be thou my true might;
be thou my soul’s shelter, be thou my strong tower:
O raise thou me heavenward, great Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise:
be thou mine inheritance now and always;
be thou and thou only the first in my heart:
O sovereign of heaven, my treasure thou art.

High King of heaven, thou heaven’s bright sun,
O grant me its joys after vict’ry is won;
great heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be thou my vision, O ruler of all.

After Communion the Bishop says a prayer.

Heavenly Father,
whose ascended Son gave gifts of leadership and service

to the Church:
strengthen us who have received this holy food
to be good stewards of your manifold grace,
through him who came not to be served but to serve,

and give his life as a ransom for many,
Jesus Christ our Lord.

THE DISMISSAL

Post Communion Prayer

All Almighty God,

We thank thee for feeding us

With the Body and Blood of thy Son

Jesus Christ our Lord.

Through him we offer thee our souls and bodies

To be a living sacrifice.

Send us out

In the power of thy Spirit

To live and work to thy praise and glory. Amen.

THE BLESSING

RECESSIONAL HYMN Stand.

The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ her Lord; she is his new creation by water and the word: from heaven he came and sought her to be his holy bride; with his own blood he bought her, and for her life he died. Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth, her charter of salvation one Lord, one faith, one birth; one holy name she blesses, partakes one holy food, and to one hope she presses with every grace endued.

Though with a scornful wonder men see her sore opprest, by schisms rent asunder, by heresies distrest, yet saints their watch are keeping, their cry goes up, ‘How long?’ and soon the night of weeping shall be the morn of song. Yet she on earth hath union with God the three in one, and mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won; O happy ones and holy! Lord, give us grace that we, like them the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee.

Priest The Mass is ended. Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.

All In the name of Christ. Amen.
