WELCOME AND TERRITORIAL ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

 

 

COLLECT FOR PURITY

 

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you 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. 

 

GLORIA                                                                               (Ode to Joy)

Glory be to God in heaven, peace to those who love Him well;

On the earth let all His people speak His grace, His wonders tell. Lord, we praise You for Your glory, mighty Father, heaven’s King; hear our joyful adoration and accept the thanks we bring.

 

Only Son of God the Father, Lamb who takes our sins away; now with Him in triumph seated, for Your mercy, Lord we pray.

Jesus Christ, most high and holy, Saviour You are God alone. In the glory of the Father, with the Spirit three in one.

 

COLLECT OF THE DAY

 

Almighty God, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven. Mercifully give us faith to know that, as he promised, he abides with us on earth to the end of time; who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

PSALM                       Psalm 68.1–10, 33–36

 

Let God arise, and let his enemies be scattered; *

          let those who hate him flee before him.

Let them vanish like smoke when the wind drives it away; *

          as the wax melts at the fire, so let the wicked perish at

          the presence of God.

But let the righteous be glad and rejoice before God; *

          let them also be merry and joyful.

Sing to God, sing praises to his name;

exalt him who rides upon the heavens; *

          Yahweh is his name, rejoice before him!

Father of orphans, defender of widows, *

          God in his holy habitation!

God gives the solitary a home and brings forth prisoners

into freedom; *

          but the rebels shall live in dry places.

O God, when you went forth before your people, *

          when you marched through the wilderness,

The earth shook, and the skies poured down rain,

at the presence of God, the God of Sinai, *

          at the presence of God, the God of Israel.

You sent a gracious rain, O God, upon your inheritance; *

          you refreshed the land when it was weary.

Your people found their home in it; *

          in your goodness, O God, you have made provision

          for the poor

Sing to God, O kingdoms of the earth; *

          sing praises to the Lord.

He rides in the heavens, the ancient heavens; *

          he sends forth his voice, his mighty voice.

Ascribe power to God; *

          his majesty is over Israel;

          his strength is in the skies.

How wonderful is God in his holy places! *

          the God of Israel giving strength and power to his people!

          Blessed be God!

AFFIRMATION OF FAITH

 

Let us declare our faith in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.

 

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.

I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting.  Amen.

CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION

 

Blessed be the holy Trinity, one God, who forgives all our sin, whose mercy endures forever.  Let us confess our sin in the presence of God and of one another.

 

Most merciful God, we confess that we are captive to sin and cannot free ourselves.  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. For the sake of your Son, Jesus Christ, have mercy on us. Forgive us, renew us, and lead us, so that we might delight in your will and walk in your ways, to the glory of your holy name. Amen.

 

Almighty God, who raised Jesus from the dead, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, guide you by the Holy Spirit, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ, the risen Lord. Amen. 

 

THE PEACE      

 

The peace of Christ be always with you. And also with you.
