4 Opening Hymn In the Cross THB 113

5 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime.

6 When the woes of life o ertake me, Hopes deceive, and fears annoy, Never shall the cross forsake me, Lo! it glows with peace and joy.

7 When the sun of bliss is beaming Light and love upon my way, From the cross the radiance streaming Adds more lustre to the day.

8 Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure, By the cross are sanctified; Peace is there that knows no measure, Joys that through all time abide.

9 In the cross of Christ I glory, Towering o er the wrecks of time; All the light of sacred story Gathers round its head sublime.

18 Psalm 15 page 718

19 1 Lord, who may dwell in your tabernacle? who may abide upon your holy hill? 2 Whoever leads a blameless life and does what is right, who speaks the truth from his heart. 3 There is no guile upon his tongue; he does no evil to his friend; he does not heap contempt upon his neighbour.

20 4 In his sight the wicked is rejected, but he honours those who fear the Lord. 5 He has sworn to do no wrong and does not take back his word. 6 He does not give his money in hope of gain, nor does he take a bribe against the innocent.

21 7 Whoever does these things shall never be overthrown. A: Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now and will be for ever. Amen.

22 The Second Reading 1 Corinthians 1:18-31 R: The Word of the Lord. P: Thanks be to God.

23 Gradual Hymn Blessed assurance MP 59

24 Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine! O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God, born of his Spirit, washed in his blood. This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long; this is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long.

25 Perfect submission, perfect delight, visions of rapture now burst on my sight; angels descending bring from above echoes of mercy, whispers of love. This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long; this is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long.

26 Perfect submission, all is at rest; I in my Saviour am happy and blest, watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love. This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long; this is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long.

27 A reading from the Gospels R: The Lord be with you. P: And also with you. R: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew beginning in the 5th chapter at the 1st verse. P: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ. At the conclusion of the Gospel, the reader says, R: The Gospel of Christ. P: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

28 Homily

29 The Nicene Creed C: Let us confess our faith, as we say, All: We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

30 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: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man.

31 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.

32 We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father. With the Father and the Son he is worshipped and glorified. He 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.

33 The Prayers of the People

34 The Confession and Absolution C: Dear friends in Christ, God is steadfast in love and infinite in mercy; he welcomes sinners and invites them to his table. Let us confess our sins, confident in God s forgiveness. Silence is kept.

35 C: Most merciful God, All we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us, that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your name. Amen.

36 C: Almighty God have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in eternal life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. P: Amen.

37 The Peace C: The Peace of the Lord be always with you. P: And also with you.

42 The Prayer over the Gifts C: Let us pray: P: God of steadfast love, may our offering this day, by the power of your Holy Spirit, renew us for your service. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. Amen.

43 The Great Thanksgiving C: The Lord be with you. P: And also with you. C: Lift up your hearts. P: We lift them to the Lord. C: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. P: It is right to give our thanks and praise.

44 C: It is indeed right that we should praise you, gracious God, for you created all things. You formed us in your own image: male and female you created us. When we turned away from you in sin, you did not cease to care for us, but opened a path of salvation for all people.

45 C: You made a covenant with Israel, and through your servants Abraham and Sarah gave the promise of a blessing to all nations.

46 C: Through Moses you led your people from bondage into freedom; through the prophets you renewed your promise of salvation. Therefore, with them, and with all your saints who have served you in every age, we give thanks and raise our voices to proclaim the glory of your name.

47 All Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full, full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest. Hosanna in the highest.

48 C: Holy God, source of life and goodness, all creation rightly gives you praise. In the fullness of time, you sent your Son Jesus Christ, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all.

49 C: He healed the sick and ate and drank with outcasts and sinners; he opened the eyes of the blind and proclaimed the good news of your kingdom to the poor and to those in need. In all things he fulfilled your gracious will.

50 C: On the night he freely gave himself to death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, Take, eat: this is my body which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.

51 C: After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, Drink this, all of you: this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.

52 C: Gracious God, his perfect sacrifice destroys the power of sin and death; by raising him to life you give us life for evermore. C: Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith. A: Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

53 C: Recalling his death, proclaiming his resurrection, and looking for his coming again in glory, we offer you, Father, this bread and this cup. Send your Holy Spirit upon us and upon these gifts, that all who eat and drink at this table may be one body and one holy people, a living sacrifice in Jesus Christ, our Lord.

54 C: Through Christ, with Christ, and in Christ, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all glory is yours, almighty Father, now and for ever. P: Amen.

55 C: And now, as our Saviour Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, A: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy 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.

56 The Breaking of Bread C: I am the bread of life, says the Lord. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry; whoever believes in me will never thirst. A: Taste and see that the Lord is good; happy are they who trust in him! C: The Gifts of God for the people of God. A: Thanks be to God.

57 Agnus Dei O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, grant us thy peace.
