Hymn: TiS 108

1. You holy angels bright, who wait at God’s right hand, or through the realms of light fly at your Lord’s command, assist our song, or else the theme too high will seem for mortal tongue.

2. You blessèd souls at rest, who ran this earthly race, and now, from sin released, behold the Saviour’s face, his praises sound, as in his sight you now delight to see him crowned.

3. You saints who toil below, adore your heavenly King, and onward as you go some joyful anthem sing; take what he gives and praise him still through good and ill,

4. All nations of the earth, extol the world’s great King: with melody and mirth God’s glorious praises sing. In him rejoice, and there proclaim his holy name with sounding voice.

5. My soul, take now your part: triumph in God above, and with a well-tuned heart sing out the songs of love; and all my days let no distress not fears suppress his joyful praise.

Richard Baxter 1615–91 andJohn Hampden Gurney 1802–62 alt.

who ever lives. Greeting: The Lord be with you.

AND ALSO WITH YOU. (see Ruth 2:4)

Sentence: And all the angels sang, ‘Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honour and power and might be to our God for ever and ever! Amen.’ Revelation 7.12

Prayer of Preparation: As we gather as God's people let us pray together:

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open,all desires known, and from whom no secrets are hidden:cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you,and worthily magnify your holy name, through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Summary of the Commandments: ‘Hear, O Israel, the Lord our God, the Lord is one; you shall love the Lord your God with all your heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind, and with all your strength.’ Jesus said: ‘This is the great and first commandment. And a second is like it: you shall love your neighbour as yourself.’

The Confession

Let us confess our sins in penitence and faith, confident in God's forgiveness.

Merciful God, our maker and our judge,we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed,and in what we have failed to do:we have not loved you with our whole heart;we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves;we repent, and are sorry for all our sins.Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey youin newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Absolution(Celebrant)Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: pardon you and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Gloria – Ushaw Setting (Alan Rees)

CHOIR: Glory, Glory to God, Glory to God in the highest, ALL:

and peace to God’s people on earth.

Lord God, heavenly King, almighty God and Father, we worship you, we give you thanks, we praise you for your glory.

Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father, Lord God, Lamb of God, you take away the sin of the world: have mercy on us; you are seated at the right hand of the Father: receive our prayer.

For you alone are the Holy One, you alone are the Lord, you alone are the Most High Jesus Christ, with the Holy Spirit, in the glory of God the Father.

7

Prayer of the DayEverlasting God,you have ordained and constituted in a wonderful order the ministries of angels and mortals: grant that, as your holy angels stand before you in heaven, so at your command they may help and defend us here on earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,one God, now and for ever. Amen.

THE MINISTRY OF THE WORD Readings from 'New Revised Standard Version' (NRSV)

First Reading: DANIEL 7.9-10, 13-14

9As I watched, thrones were set in place, and an Ancient One took his throne; his clothing was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and its wheels were burning fire. 10A stream of fire issued and flowed out from his presence. A thousand thousand served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood attending him. The court sat in judgement, and the books were opened. 13As I watched in the night visions, I saw one like a human being coming with the clouds of heaven. And he came to the Ancient One and was presented before him. 14To him was given dominion and glory and kingship, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed.

Response: Hear the word of the Lord, THANKS BE TO GOD

8

Psalm 1381 I will give you thanks, O Lord, with my whole heart:even before the gods will I sing your praises.2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and give thanks to your name:because of your faithfulness and your loving-kindness, for you have made your name and your word supreme over all things.3 At a time when I called to you, you gave me answer:and put new strength within my soul.4 All the kings of the earth shall praise you, O Lord:for they have heard the words of your mouth;5 And they shall sing of the ways of the Lord:that the glory of the Lord is great.6 For though the Lord is exalted, he looks upon the lowly:and he comprehends the proud from afar.7 Though I walk in the midst of danger, yet will you preserve my life:you will stretch out your hand against the fury of my enemies, and your right hand shall save me.8 The Lord will complete his purpose for me:your loving-kindness, O Lord, endures for ever; do not forsake the work of your own hands.

Second Reading: REVELATION 12.7-12A7And war broke out in heaven; Michael and his angels fought against the dragon. The dragon and his angels fought back, 8but they were defeated, and there was no longer any place for them in heaven. 9The great dragon was thrown down, that ancient serpent, who is called the Devil and Satan, the deceiver of the whole world—he was thrown down to the earth, and his angels were thrown down with him. 10Then I heard a loud voice in heaven, proclaiming,’ Now have come the salvation and the power and the kingdom of our God and the authority of his Messiah, for the accuser of our comrades has been thrown down, who accuses them day and night before our God. 11But they have conquered him by the blood of the Lamb and by the word of their testimony, for they did not cling to life even in the face of death. 12Rejoice then, you heavens and those who dwell in them! But woe to the earth and the sea, for the devil has come down to you with great wrath, because he knows that his time is short!’

Response: Hear the word of the Lord, 9

THANKS BE TO GOD

10

Gradual Hymn: TiS 335

1. To Christ, the Prince of peace and Son of God most high, the Father of the world to come, we sing with holy joy.

2. Deep in his heart for us the wound of love he bore: that burning love he kindles still in hearts that him adore.

3. O Jesus, victim priest, what else but love so fine could move you so to welcome us into your heart divine?

4. O fount of endless life, a spring of water clear, a flame celestial, cleansing all who will to you draw near,

5. hide us within your heart, for there we all would be, to live in grace, and after death gain immortality.

6. Praise to the Father be, and sole-begotten Son; praise, ever holy Paraclete, while endless ages run.

Anon., Latin fromCatholicum Hymnologium Germanicum 1587

tr. Edward Caswall 1814–78 alt.

We stand for the reading of the Holy Gospel as a sign of respect as we greet our Lord who is present in His Holy Word.

The Lord be with you AND ALSO WITH YOU

The gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ, according to Saint John chapter 1 beginning at the 45th verse.

GLORY TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

45Philip found Nathanael and said to him, ‘We have found him about whom Moses in the law and also the prophets wrote, Jesus son of Joseph from Nazareth.’ 46Nathanael said to him, ‘Can anything good come out of Nazareth?’ Philip said to him, ‘Come and see.’ 47When Jesus saw Nathanael coming towards him, he said of him, ‘Here is truly an Israelite in whom there is no deceit!’ 48Nathanael asked him, ‘Where did you come to know me?’ Jesus answered, ‘I saw you under the fig tree before Philip called you.’ 49Nathanael replied, ‘Rabbi, you are the Son of God! You are the King of Israel!’ 50Jesus answered, ‘Do you believe because I told you that I saw you under the fig tree? You will see greater things than these.’ 51And he said to him, ‘Very truly, I tell you, you will see heaven opened and the angels of God ascending and descending upon the Son of Man.’

Gospel Response: This is the gospel of the Lord, PRAISE TO YOU, LORD JESUS CHRIST.

SERMON - (copy of sermon available at back of church)

Time for reflection

12

The Nicene CreedLet us together affirm the faith of the Church.

We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

13

4. Great Father of glory, pure Father of light, your angels adore you, all veiling their sight; of all your rich graces this grace, Lord, impart — take the veil from our faces, the veil from our heart.
