8:00am Holy Communion
10:30am Parish Communion*
The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.
Opening Hymn*
1. We have a gospel to proclaim,
good news for all throughout the earth;
the gospel of a Saviour’s name:
we sing his glory, tell his worth.
2. Tell of his birth at Bethlehem,
not in a royal house or hall
but in a stable dark and dim,
the Word made flesh, a light for all.
3. Tell of his death at Calvary,
hated by those he came to save,
in lonely suffering on the cross;
for all he loved his life he gave.
4. Tell of that glorious Easter morn:
empty the tomb, for he was free.
He broke the power of death and hell
that we might share his victory.
5. Tell of his reign at God’s right hand,
by all creation glorified.
He sends his Spirit on his Church
to live for him, the Lamb who died.
6. Now we rejoice to name him King:
Jesus is Lord of all the earth.
This gospel-message we proclaim:
we sing his glory, tell his worth.
Words: Edward Joseph Burns (b 1938)
Music: Fulda, from Sacred Melodies 1815, William Gardiner (1770-1853)
(Ancient & Modern – 507)
Collect
Almighty God,
who looked upon the lowliness of the Blessed Virgin Mary
and chose her to be the mother of your only Son:
grant that we who are redeemed by his blood
may share with her in the glory of your eternal kingdom;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.
4
First Reading – Isaiah 61.10,11
I will greatly rejoice in the LORD, my whole being shall exult in my God; for he has clothed
me with the garments of salvation, he has covered me with the robe of righteousness, as a
bridegroom decks himself with a garland, and as a bride adorns herself with her jewels. For
as the earth brings forth its shoots, and as a garden causes what is sown in it to spring up,
so the Lord GOD will cause righteousness and praise to spring up before all the nations.
Second Reading* – Galatians 4.4-7
When the fullness of time had come, God sent his Son, born of a woman, born under the
law, in order to redeem those who were under the law, so that we might receive adoption
as children. And because you are children, God has sent the Spirit of his Son into our
hearts, crying, ‘Abba! Father!’ So you are no longer a slave but a child, and if a child then
also an heir, through God.
Gradual Hymn*
1. Ye who own the faith of Jesus
sing the wonders that were done,
when the love of God the Father
o'er our sin the victory won,
when he made the Virgin Mary
Mother of his only Son.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
2. Blessèd were the chosen people
out of whom the Lord did come,
blessèd was the land of promise
fashioned for his earthly home;
but more blessèd far the Mother
she who bare him in her womb.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
3. Wherefore let all faithful people
tell the honour of her name,
let the church in her foreshadowed
part in her thanksgiving claim;
what Christ's Mother sang in gladness
let Christ's people sing the same.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
4. Praise, O Mary, praise the Father,
praise thy Saviour and thy Son,
praise the everlasting Spirit,
who hath made thee ark and throne;
o'er all creatures high exalted,
lowly praise the Three in One.
Hail Mary, full of grace.
Words: Vincent Stuckey Stration Coles (I845-I929)

Gospel – Luke 1.46-55
‘My soul magnifies the Lord, and my spirit rejoices in God my Saviour, for he has
looked with favour on the lowliness of his servant. Surely, from now on all
generations will call me blessed; for the Mighty One has done great things for me,
and holy is his name. His mercy is for those who fear him from generation to
generation. He has shown strength with his arm; he has scattered the proud in the
thoughts of their hearts. He has brought down the powerful from their thrones, and
lifted up the lowly; he has filled the hungry with good things, and sent the rich away
empty. He has helped his servant Israel, in remembrance of his mercy, according to
the promise he made to our ancestors, to Abraham and to his descendants for ever.’
Offertory Hymn*
1. Sing we of the blessèd Mother
who received the angel’s word,
and obedient to his summons
bore in love the infant Lord;
sing we of the joys of Mary
at whose breast that child was fed
who is Son of God eternal
and the everlasting Bread.
2. Sing we, too, of Mary’s sorrows,
of the sword that pierced her through,
when beneath the cross ofJesus
she his weight of suffering knew,
looked upon her Son and Saviour
reigning high on Calvary’s tree,
saw the price of man's redemption
paid to set the sinner free.
3. Sing again the joys of Mary
when she saw the risen Lord,
and in prayer with Christ’s apostles,
waited on his promised word:
from on high the blazing glory
of the Spirit's presence came,
heavenly breath of God’s own being,
manifest through wind and flame.
4. Sing the chiefest joy of Mary
when on earth her work was done,
and the Lord of all creation
brought her to his heavenly home:
Virgin Mother, Mary blessed,
raised on high and crowned with grace,
may your Son, the world's redeemer,
grant us all to see his face.
Words: George B Timms (1910-1997)

Communion Hymns*
1. Her Virgin eyes saw God incarnate born,
when she to Bethlem came that happy morn:
how high her raptures then began to swell,
none but her own omniscient Son can tell.
2. As Eve, when she her fontal sin reviewed,
wept for herself and all she should include,
blest Mary, with man's Saviour in embrace,
joyed for herself and for all human race.
3. All saints are by her Son's dear influence blest;
she kept the very fountain at her breast:
the Son adored and nursed by the sweet Maid
a thousandfold oflove for love repaid.
4. Heaven with transcendent joys her entrance graced,
near to his throne her Son his Mother placed;
and here below, now she's of heaven possest,
all generations are to call her blest.
Words: Thomas Ken (1637-1711)
Music: Farley Castle, from Sandys’s A Paraphrase upon the Psalms of David 1638
(Ancient & Modern – 314)
1. Virgin-born, we bow before thee:
blessèd was the womb that bore thee;
Mary, mother meek and mild,
blessèd was she in her child.
2. Blessèd was the breast that fed thee;
blessèd was the hand that led thee;
blessèd was the parent’s eye
that watched thy slumbering infancy.
3. Blessèd she by all creation,
who brought forth the world’s Salvation
blessèd they, for ever blest,
who love thee most and serve thee best.
4. Virgin-born, we bow before thee:
blessèd was the womb that bore thee;
Mary, mother meek and mild,
blessèd was she in her child.
Words: Reginald Heber (1783-1826)
Music: Quem Pastores, German 15th century melody, adapted by Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
(Ancient & Modern – 317)

Post Communion Prayer
God most high, whose handmaid bore the Word made flesh:
we thank you that in this sacrament of our redemption
you visit us with your Holy Spirit and overshadow us by your power;
strengthen us to walk with Mary the joyful path of obedience
and so to bring forth the fruits of holiness;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Final Hymn*
1. Let us build a house where love can dwell
and all can safely live,
a place where saints and children tell
how hearts learn to forgive.
Built of hopes and dreams and visions,
rock of faith and vault of grace;
here the love of Christ shall end divisions:
All are welcome, all are welcome
all are welcome in this place
2. Let us build a house where prophets speak
and words are strong and true,
where all God’s children dare to seek
to dream God’s reign anew.
Here the cross shall stand as witness
and as symbol of God’s grace;
here as one we claim the faith of Jesus.
3. Let us build a house where love is found
in water, wine and wheat:
a banquet hall on holy ground
where peace and justice meet.
Here the love of God, through Jesus,
is revealed in time and space;
as we share in Christ the feast that frees us
4. Let us build a house where hands will reach
beyond the wood and stone
to heal and strengthen, serve and teach,
and live the Word they’ve known.
Here the outcast and the stranger
bear the image of God’s face;
let us bring an end to fear and danger:
5. Let us build a house where all are named
their songs and visions heard
and loved and treasured, taught and claimed,
as words within the Word.
Build of tears and cries and laughter,
prayers of faith and songs of grace,
let this house proclaim from floor to rafter

Thankyou from
Debbie Marsh
At my first baptism on Thursday 6
August, it was very special to be using
the shell given to me by Oakham, and
I would like to thank everyone and as
you will see from the photograph it is
being put to good use! I baptised two
young women (half sisters) who
developed a connection with church
through the toddler group. One of
them is now wanting to have her baby
baptised and wants her sister to be a
godmother but neither of them had
been baptised themselves. It was such
a privilege to do and despite having
been at many baptisms I was amazed
at how different it felt to actually be
the one saying the words... I have
since baptised an adorable 10 month
old last Sunday week, again an amazing
privilege as there were about 50
people most of whom have no
connection with church. Hope all is
well and if you're at Bouverie or in
Northampton for any reason please
call and see us. Best wishes, Debbie.
Médecins Sans
Frontières
A big thank-you to all who bought
from and brought to the stall on 8
August, which raised £137.77,
including a collection for Water Aid,
in support of the crisis in Nepal.
