1 The earth is the Lord’s and | all that · is | in it the compass of the | world and | those who | dwell therein. 2 For he has founded it up | on the | seas: and es|tablished it · up | on the | waters. 3 Who shall ascend the | hill of · the | Lord: or who shall | stand in · his | holy | place? 4 Those who have clean hands and a | pure | heart:

who have not set their soul upon idols * nor | sworn their | oath to · a | lie.

Music

Processional: New light has dawned (words below) Gradual: In our darkness (words p. 5) Offertory: 123 Hail, Redeemer Communion: 325 Father, hear the prayer we offer Post Communion: Christ is the one (words p. 6) Organist: Ian Gray

New light has dawned (A&M 112)

1. New light has dawned, the Son of God is here, a holy light no earthly light outshines; the light has dawned, the light that casts out fear, the light that evil dreads and love defines.

2. The light of glory shines to angels’ song, the shepherds run to where a baby lies; a servant of the Lord, who waited long, acclaim the light to lighten gentile eyes.

3. And priestly men sit listening to a boy, they see the dawning light within his face. Such words they hear those Christ-child lips employ! Amazing words of wisdom, truth and grace.

4. O Christ, the light who came to us on earth, shine through the shadow cast by human sin; renew the faith you gave at our new birth, destroy the dark, and let your light come in. Paul Wigmore (b. 1925)

In our darkness (A&M 101)

1. In our darkness light has shone, Alleluia, Still today the light shines on Alleluia, Word made flesh in human birth, Alleluia, Light and life of all the earth, Alleluia!

2. Christ the Son incarnate see, Alleluia, by whom all things came to be, Alleluia, through the world his splendours shine, Alleluia, full of grace and truth divine Alleluia!

3. All who now in him believe, Alleluia, everlasting life receive, Alleluia, born of God and in his care, Alleluia, we his name and nature share Alleluia!

4. Christ a child on earth appears, Alleluia, crown of all creation’s years, Alleluia, God’s eternal word has come, Alleluia, he shall lead his people home, Alleluia!

Christ is the one (A&M 487)

1. Christ is the one who calls, the one who loved and came, to whom by right it falls to bear the highest name: and still today our hearts are stirred to hear his word and walk his way.

2. Christ is the one who seeks, to whom our souls are known. The word of love he speaks can wake a heart of stone; for at that sound the blind can see, the slave is free, the lost are found.

3. Christ is the one who died forsaken and betrayed; who, mocked and crucified, the price of pardon paid. Our dying Lord, what grief and loss, what bitter cross, our souls restored!

4. Christ is the one who rose in glory from the grave, to share his live with those whom once he died to save. he drew death’s sting and broke its chains, who lives and reigns, our risen King.

5. Christ is the one who sends, his story to declare; who calls his servants friends and gives them news to share. His truth proclaim in all the earth, his matchless worth and saving name.

MEDITATION “To live “in Christ” is to live a mystery equal to that of

the incarnation and similar to it. For as Christ unites in his one Person the two natures of God and of man, so too in making us his friends he dwells in us, uniting us intimately to himself. ‘Seeds of Contemplation’ Thomas Merton
