sing;
Alleluia! Alleluia!
Thou burning sun with golden beam,
thou silver moon with softer gleam:
O praise him, O praise him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Thou rushing wind that art so strong,
ye clouds that sail in heav’n along;
O praise him, alleluia!
Thou rising moon in praise rejoice,
ye lights of evening find a voice:
O praise him, O praise him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Let all things their creator bless,
and worship him in humbleness;
O praise him, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father praise the Son,
and praise the Spirit three in one:
O praise him, O praise him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Let us confess our sins to the Father and seek his pardon and peace.
Almighty and merciful God,
we have sinned against you in thought, word and deed.
We have not loved you with all our heart;
and we have not loved others as Christ loves us.
We are truly sorry. In your mercy, forgive us.
Help us to amend our lives;
that we may delight in your will and walk in your ways,
to the glory of your name. Amen
God our Father, who by our Lord Jesus Christ has reconciled the world to himself and forgives the sins of all who truly repent, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, and grant you the grace and power of the Holy Spirit. Amen.
Oh Lord, open our lips,
And our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
We sing to you, O Lord, and bless your name,
And tell of your salvation from day to day.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen
Worship the Lord.
All praise to his name.
Jubilate Deo (Psalm 100)
O be joyful in the Lord, all the earth:
serve the Lord with gladness
and come before his presence with a song.
Know that the Lord is God:
it is he that has made us and we are his;
we are his people and the sheep of his pasture.
Enter his gates with thanksgiving and his courts with praise:
give thanks to him and bless his name.
For the Lord is gracious; his steadfast love is ever lasting:
and his faithfulness endures from generation to generation.
Blessed are you, creator of all, to you be praise and glory for ever. As your dawn renews the face of the earth bringing light and life to all creation, may we rejoice in this day you have made; as we wake refreshed from the depths of sleep open our eyes to behold your presence and strengthen our hands to do you will, that the world may rejoice and give you praise.
Blessed be God for ever.
The Psalm 90 1- 6, and 13 – 17
Lord thou hast been our refuge:
from one generation to another.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or ever the earth and the world were made:
thou art God from everlasting and world without end.
Thou turnest man back to the dust:
yea thou sayest ‘Return ye children of men.’
For a thousand years in thy sight are but as yesterday:
even as it were a day that is past.
As a night watch that cometh quickly to an end thou scatterest them:
they are even as a dream and fade away.
They are like the grass, which in the morning is green:
but in the evening is dried up and withered.
Turn thee again O Lord, and tarry not:
be gracious unto thy servants.
O satisfy us in the morning with thy loving kindness:
so shall we rejoice and be glad all the days of our life.
Make us glad, according to the number of the days wherein thou hast afflicted us:
and of the years wherein we have suffered adversity.
Shew thy servants thy work:
and thy glory unto their children.
And may the grace of the Lord our God be upon us:
prosper thou the work of our hands, O prosper thou our handy‑work.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen
The Old Testament Reading. Deutoronomy 34: 1- end
Then Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo, to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and the Lord showed him the whole land: Gilead as far as Dan, all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, the Negeb, and the Plain—that is, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm trees—as far as Zoar. The Lord said to him, “This is the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to Jacob, saying, ‘I will give it to your descendants’; I have let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over there.” Then Moses, the servant of the Lord, died there in the land of Moab, at the Lord’s command. He was buried in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Beth-peor, but no one knows his burial place to this day. Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his sight was unimpaired and his vigor had not abated. The Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty days; then the period of mourning for Moses was ended.
Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him; and the Israelites obeyed him, doing as the Lord had commanded Moses.
Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel like Moses, whom the Lord knew face to face. He was unequaled for all the signs and wonders that the Lord sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land, and for all the mighty deeds and all the terrifying displays of power that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.
Canticle – TE DEUM LAUDAMUS
1 You are God and we praise you:
you are the Lord and we acclaim you;
2 you are the eternal Father:
all creation worships you.
3 To you all angels, all the powers of heaven:
cherubim and seraphim sing in endless praise,
4 Holy, holy, holy Lord,* God of power and might::
heaven and earth are full of ‘ your glory.
5 The glorious company of apostles praise you:
the noble fellowship of prophets praise you,
the white-robed army of martyrs praise you.
6 Throughout the world
the holy Church acclaims you:
Father of majesty unbounded;
7 your true and only Son, worthy of all worship:
and the Holy Spirit If advocate and guide.
8 You Christ are the King of glory:
the eternal Son of the Father.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the beginning, is now, and shall be for ever. Amen
New Testament reading from 1st Thessalonians chapter 2: 1-8
Now, brethren, concerning the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ and our gathering together to Him, we ask you, not to be soon shaken in mind or troubled, either by spirit or by word or by letter, as if from us, as though the day of Christ had come. Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of [b]sin is revealed, the son of perdition, who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God.
Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? And now you know what is restraining, that he may be revealed in his own time. For the mystery of lawlessness is already at work; only He who now restrains will do so until He is taken out of the way. And then the lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming.
Sermon Reverend Janet Day
Hymn Just As I Am Without One Plea – led by Adeline Jennings
Just as I am, without one plea,
but that thy blood was shed for me,
and that thou bidd’st me come to thee,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, and waiting not
to rid my soul of one dark blot,
to thee, whose blood can cleanse each spot,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, though tossed about
with many a conflict, many a doubt;
fightings and fears within, without,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;
sight, riches, healing of the mind,
yea, all I need, in thee to find,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, thou wilt receive;
wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve,
because thy promise I believe,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, thy love unknown
has broken every barrier down;
now to be thine, yea, thine alone,
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
Just as I am, of that free love
the breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,
here for a season, then above:
O Lamb of God, I come, I come.
The Prayers led by Lay Minister Gina Ayling
Let us pray with confidence to the Father:
Our Father who art in heaven, hallowed be they name, Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on 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. Amen.
Collect for Today
Blessed Lord, who caused all holy scriptures to be written for our learning; help us so to hear them to read, mark, learn and inwardly digest them that , through patience and the comfort of your holy word we may embrace and for ever hold fast the hope of everlasting life, which you hae given us in our Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.
The Second Collect
O God, the author of peace and lover of concord, to know you is eternal life, to serve you is perfect freedom: defend us in all assaults of our enemies, that we, surely trusting in your protection, may not fear the power of any adversaries; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
The Third Collect
O Lord and heavenly Father, almighty and everlasting God, we thank you for brining us safely to the beginning of this new day; defend us by your might power that we may be kept free from all sin and safe from every danger; and enable us in everything to do only what is right in your eyes; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hymn Love Divine All Loves Excelling led by Jess
Love divine, all loves excelling,
joy of heaven, to earth come down,
fix in us thy humble dwelling,
all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion,
pure, unbounded love thou art;
visit us with thy salvation;
enter every trembling heart.
Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit
into every troubled breast;
let us all in thee inherit;
let us find the promised rest.
Take away the love of sinning;
Alpha and Omega be;
end of faith, as its beginning,
set our hearts at liberty.
Come, Almighty, to deliver,
let us all thy life receive;
suddenly return, and never,
nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing,
serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray and praise thee without ceasing,
glory in thy perfect love.
Finish, then, thy new creation;
pure and spotless let us be;
let us see thy great salvation
perfectly restored in thee:
changed from glory into glory,
till in heaven we take our place,
till we cast our crowns before thee,
lost in wonder, love and praise.
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
The Blessing
The peace of God which passes all understanding
keep your hearts and minds
in the knowledge and love of God
and of his Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.
And the blessing of God almighty,
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
be among you and remain with you always.
Amen.
Go in the peace of Christ.
Thanks be to God.
