to whom, with you and the Holy Spirit, be all honour and glory, now and for ever.

Psalm 66:1-8

1 O be joyful in God ’ all ye ’ lands : sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make his ’ praise ’ to be ’ glorious.

2 Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou ’ in thy ’ works : through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found ’ liars ’ unto ’ thee.

3 For all the ’ world shall ’ worship thee : sing of ’ thee and ’ praise thy ’ Name.

4 O come hither, and behold the ’ works of ’ God : how wonderful he is in his doing ’ toward the ’ children of ’ men.

5 He turned the sea into ’ dry ’ land : so that they went through the water on foot; there did ’ we re’joice there’of.

6 He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes be’hold the ’ people : and such as will not believe, shall not be ’ able to ex’alt them’selves.

7 O praise our ’ God ye ’ people :  and make the ’ voice of his ’ praise to be ’ heard;

8 Who holdeth our ’ soul in ’ life :  and suffereth ’ not our ’ feet to ’ slip.Glory be to the Father ‘ and to • the ‘ Son: and ‘ to the ‘ Holy ’ Ghost; As it was in the beginning is ‘ now and • ever ‘ shall be: world with-out ‘ end. A ‘ — ‘ men.

Accept through him, our great high priest, this our sacrifice of thanks and praise,and as we eat and drink these holy gifts in the presence of your divine majesty,renew us by your Spirit, inspire us with your loveand unite us in the body of your Son, Jesus Christ our Lord.

All To you be glory and praise for ever.Through him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit,with all who stand before you in earth and heaven,we worship you, Father almighty, in songs of everlasting praise:

All Blessing and honour and glory and power be yours for ever and ever. Amen.

All 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.

MEN

(we kneel)

Accept our praises, heavenly Father, through your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ,and as we follow his example and obey his command, grant that by the power of your Holy Spiritthese gifts of bread and wine may be to us his body and his blood;who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took bread and gave you thanks;he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying:

Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you;do this in remembrance of me.

All To you be glory and praise for ever.In the same way, after supper he took the cup and gave you thanks;he gave it to them, saying:

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.Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me.

All To you be glory and praise for ever.

Sermon

The Nicene Creed (stand)All We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

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,was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and was made man.For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;he suffered death and was buried.On the third day he rose againin accordance with the Scriptures;he ascended into heavenand 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.

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

All To you be glory and praise for ever.Therefore with angels and archangels,and with all the company of heaven,we proclaim your great and glorious name,for ever praising you and singing:
