Processional Hymn 

'Lift up your hearts': I hear the summons calling 

forth from the heavenly altar where he stands- 

our great High Priest, the Father's love revealing, 

in priestly act, with pleading outspread hands. 

'Lift up your hearts': with hearts' to heaven soaring 

the church exulting makes her glad reply- 

'We lift them up unto the Lord', adoring; 

our God and thine, through thee, we glorify. 

'Lift up your hearts': alas, O Lord, I cannot 

lift up aright my burdened heart to thee; 

thou knowest, Lord, the cares that weigh upon it, 

the chains that bind it struggling to be free. 

O Love divine! thy promise comes to cheer me, 

O Voice of pity! blessing and thrice blest- 

'Come unto me, ye laden hearts and weary; 

take up my yoke, and learn: I pledge you rest'. 

I dare not waver by such grace invited, 

I yield my heart, dear Lord: I close the strife. 

Lift thou my heart until, with thine united, 

I taste anew the joy of endless life.

Invitation 

Confession 

We confess our sins to you, Father, Son, and Spirit holy. Compassionate God of life, your kindly pardon give; for our careless talk, our broken oath, our empty speech; for all that we have left undone; for all that we have done amiss.

Metrical Psalm 

Lord, from the depths to thee I cried. 

My voice, Lord, do thou hear: 

unto my supplications' voice 

give an attentive ear. 

Lord, who shall stand, if thou, O Lord, 

should'st mark iniquity? 

But yet with thee forgiveness is, 

that feared though mayest be. 

I wait for God, my soul doth wait, 

my hope is in his word. 

More than they that for morning watch, 

my soul waits for the Lord; 

I say, more than they that do watch 

the morning light to see. 

Let Israel hope in the Lord, 

for with him mercies be; 

And plenteous redemption 

is ever found with him. 

And from all his iniquities 

he Israel shall redeem.

The Gospel St Mark 5  21-43 

The Sermon 

The Apostles’ Creed 

I believe in God the Father Almighty, 

Maker of heaven and earth: 

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, 

Who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, 

Born of the Virgin Mary, 

Suffered under Pontius Pilate, 

Was crucified, dead, and buried: 

He descended into hell; 

The third day he rose again from the dead; 

He ascended into heaven, 

And sitteth on the right hand of God the Father Almighty; 

From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. 

I believe in the Holy Ghost; 

The Holy Catholic Church; 

The Communion of Saints; 

The Forgiveness of sins; 

The Resurrection of the body, 

And the Life everlasting. 

The Offering 

The Intercessions 

Gloria in Excelsis sung by the choir 

Glory be to God on high, and in earth peace, goodwill towards men. We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty. 

O Lord, the only-begotten Son Jesu Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.  Thou that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer.  Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us. 

For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen. 

Messe Solennelle Jean Langlais

Prayer  

The Lord’s Prayer 

Our Father, which art in heaven, hallowed be thy name; thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. 

Agnus Dei 

Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world, 

Have mercy upon us. 

Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world, 

Have mercy upon us. 

Lamb of God, that takes away the sin of the world, 

Grant us your peace.

The Peace 

Prayer 

Hymn 

O for a thousand tongues to sing 

my great redeemer's praise, 

the glories of my God and king, 

the triumphs of his grace! 

Jesus! the name that charms our fears, 

that bids our sorrows cease; 

'tis music in the sinner's ears, 

'tis life, and health, and peace. 

He breaks the power of cancelled sin, 

he sets the prisoner free; 

his blood can make the foulest clean, 

his blood availed for me. 

He speaks; and, listening to his voice, 

new life the dead receive; 

the mournful, broken hearts rejoice; 

the humble poor believe. 

Hear him, ye deaf; his praise, ye dumb, 

your loosened tongues employ; 

you blind, behold your Saviour come; 

and leap, ye lame, for joy! 

My gracious Master and my God, 

assist me to proclaim 

to spread through all the earth abroad 

the honours of thy Name.
