Prelude: Air Gerre Hancock (1934–2012)

THE WORD OF GOD

Introit Gaudeamus Anglican Chant: E. Elgar

Rejoice we all, and praise the Lord, celebrating a holy day in honor of All Saints: in whose

solemnity the Angels are joyful, and glorify the Son of God. Rejoice in the Lord, O ye

righteous: for it becometh well the just to be thankful. – Psalm 17

Hymn 287: “For all the saints, who from their labors rest” Sine Nomine, stand

Opening Sentences

Priest: Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.

People: And blessed be God’s kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

The Collect for Purity

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

no secrets are hid: 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 in excelsis (Hymnal S 278)

Glory to God in the highest,

and peace to his people on earth. Lord God, heavenly King,

almighty God and Father,

we worship you, we give you thanks,

we praise you for your glory. Lord Jesus Christ, only Son of the Father,

Lord God, Lamb of God,

you take away the sin of the world:

have mercy on us;

you are seated at the right hand of the

Father:

receive our prayer. For you alone are the Holy One,

you alone are the Lord,

you alone are the Most High,

Jesus Christ,

with the Holy Spirit,

in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

2

The Collect of the Day

Priest: The Lord be with you.

People: And also with you.

Priest: Let us pray.

Almighty God, you have knit together your elect in one communion and

fellowship in the mystical body of your Son Christ our Lord: Give us grace

so to follow your blessed saints in all virtuous and godly living, that we may

come to those ineffable joys that you have prepared for those who truly love

you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who with you and the Holy Spirit lives

and reigns, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen.

The Lessons sit

Lector: A Reading from The Revelation to John. (21: 1-6a)

I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth

had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the

new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride

adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,

"See, the home of God is among mortals.

He will dwell with them as their God;

they will be his peoples,

and God himself will be with them;

he will wipe every tear from their eyes.

Death will be no more;

mourning and crying and pain will be no more,

for the first things have passed away."

And the one who was seated on the throne said, "See, I am making all

things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and

true." Then he said to me, "It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the

beginning and the end."

Lector: The Word of the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God.

3

Psalm 24

Lector: Let us recite, in unison, Psalm 24.

1 The earth is the Lord's and all that is in it,

the world and all who dwell therein.

2 For it is he who founded it upon the seas

and made it firm upon the rivers of the deep.

3 "Who can ascend the hill of the Lord? "

and who can stand in his holy place?"

4 "Those who have clean hands and a pure heart,

who have not pledged themselves to falsehood,

nor sworn by what is a fraud.

5 They shall receive a blessing from the Lord

and a just reward from the God of their salvation."

6 Such is the generation of those who seek him,

of those who seek your face, O God of Jacob.

7 Lift up your heads, O gates;

lift them high, O everlasting doors;

and the King of glory shall come in.

8 "Who is this King of glory?"

"The Lord, strong and mighty,

the Lord, mighty in battle."

9 Lift up your heads, O gates;

lift them high, O everlasting doors;

and the King of glory shall come in.

10 "Who is he, this King of glory?"

"The Lord of hosts,

he is the King of glory."

Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen.

Hymn 253: “Give us the wings of faith to rise” San Rocco, stand

Priest: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John (11: 32-44).

People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and

said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died."

When Jesus saw her weeping, and the Jews who came with her also

weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said,

"Where have you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus

began to weep. So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" But some of them

said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this

man from dying?"

Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a

stone was lying against it. Jesus said, "Take away the stone." Martha, the

sister of the dead man, said to him, "Lord, already there is a stench because

he has been dead four days." Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you

believed, you would see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone.

And Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for having heard

me. I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the

crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me." When he

had said this, he cried with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead

man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face

wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let him go."

Priest: The Gospel of the Lord.

People: Praise to you, Lord Christ.

The Sermon: The Reverend David Hodges sit

The Renewal of Baptismal Vows

Priest: Dear friends, as we celebrate this day the glorious feast of All Saints, I invite

you to join me in renewing the solemn promises and vows by which we

committed ourselves to Christ in Holy Baptism.

Do you reaffirm your renunciation of evil and renew your commitment to

Jesus Christ?

People: I do.

5

Priest: Do you believe in God the Father?

People: I believe in God, the Father almighty,

creator of heaven and earth.

Priest: Do you believe in Jesus Christ, the Son of God?

People: 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.

Priest: Do you believe in God the Holy Spirit?

People: 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.

Priest: Will you continue in the apostles’ teaching and fellowship, in the breaking

of bread, and in the prayers?

People: I will, with God’s help.

Priest: Will you persevere in resisting evil, and, whenever you fall into sin, repent

and return to the Lord?

People: I will, with God’s help.

Priest: Will you proclaim by word and example the Good News of God in Christ?

People: I will, with God’s help.

Priest: Will you seek and serve Christ in all persons, loving your neighbor as

yourself?

People: I will, with God’s help.

Priest: Will you strive for justice and peace among all people, and respect the

dignity of every human being?

People: I will, with God’s help.

6

Priest: May Almighty God, the Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has given us

a new birth by water and the Holy Spirit, and bestowed upon us the

forgiveness of sins, keep us in eternal life by his grace, in Christ Jesus our

Lord. Amen.

The Blessing of the Water

Priest: We thank you, Almighty God, for the gift of water. Over it the Holy Spirit

moved in the beginning of creation. Through it you led the children of

Israel out of their bondage in Egypt into the land of promise. In it your

Son Jesus received the baptism of John and was anointed by the Holy

Spirit as the Messiah, the Christ, to lead us, through his death and

resurrection, from the bondage of sin into everlasting life.

We thank you, Father, for the water of Baptism. In it we are buried with

Christ in his death. By it we share in his resurrection. Through it we are

reborn by the Holy Spirit.

Now bless this water, we pray you, that it may be a sign to us of our

Baptism, in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Spirit.

Amen.

Antiphon Asperges me Plainsong, Mode 7

Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, O Lord, and I shall be clean:

thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow.

Have mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness: *

according to the multitude of thy mercies, do away mine offences.

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 without end. Amen.

– Psalm 51: 9, 3

THE HOLY COMMUNION

The Offertory Anthem Edgar Bainton (1880–1956)

And I saw a new heaven and a new earth: For the first heaven and the first earth were

passed away; and there was no more sea. And I, John, saw the holy city, new Jerusalem,

coming down from God out of heaven, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.

Behold, the tabernacle of God is with men, and he will dwell with them and they shall be

his people, and God himself shall be with them and be their God. And God shall wipe away

all tears from their eyes; And, there shall be no more death, neither sorrow nor crying,

neither shall there be any more pain, for the former things are passed away.

– Revelation 21 :1-4

The Presentation (Hymn 380, st. 3) Old 100th, stand

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow;

praise him, all creatures here below;

Praise him above, ye heavenly host:

praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

The Great Thanksgiving: Eucharistic Prayer A

Priest: The Lord be with you.

People: And also with you.

Priest: Lift up your hearts.

People: We lift them to the Lord.

Priest: Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.

People: It is right to give God thanks and praise.

Priest: It is right, and a good and joyful thing, always and everywhere to give

thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

For in the multitude of you saints you have surrounded us with a great cloud

of witnesses, that we might rejoice in their fellowship, and run with

endurance the race that is set before us; and, together with them, receive the

crown of glory that never fades away.

Therefore, we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels

and with all the company of heaven, who forever sing this hymn to proclaim

the glory of your Name:

10

Choir: Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts: Missa Brevis, Grayston Ives

Heaven and earth are full of thy glory. (b. 1948)

Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High.

Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

Priest: Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself;

and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you,

in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our

human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God

and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered

himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and 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.”

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.”

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith:

All: Christ has died.

Christ is risen.

Christ will come again.

Priest: We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of

praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension,

we offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood

of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him.

Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and

serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with

all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and

in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty

Father, now and forever. AMEN.

11

The Lord’s Prayer

Priest: And now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

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,

and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.

The Breaking of the Bread

Fraction Anthem: Lamb of God Melissa Dunphy (b. 1980)

12

Priest: The Gifts of God for the People of God.

Take them in remembrance that Christ died for you,

and feed on him in your hearts by faith, with thanksgiving.

Administration of the Sacrament sit

While we celebrate the Eucharist with both bread and wine, currently we receive in bread

only, which is full participation. Please tell the clergy if you require gluten-free bread.

To receive without physical contact, place one hand on top of the other, palms open.

Crossing your arms over your chest will let the clergy know

you would like to receive a blessing but not the sacrament.

If you are worshipping virtually and unable to physically partake of the sacrament,

we invite you to make your spiritual communion by praying the following prayer,

adapted from the prayer of St. Alphonsus de Liguori:

Beloved Jesus,

We believe that you are truly present in the sacrament of the altar.

We long for you in our souls,

to know that we are in you and that you are in us.

Though physically isolated from your altar

and the sacrament of your Body and Blood,

We receive you into our hearts and the depths of our being.

United with you, help us know that our lives are hid

with you, O Christ, in the heart of God. Amen.

Anthem William Mathias (1934–1992)

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; and be ye lift up, ye everlasting doors;

and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord strong and mighty, the Lord mighty in battle.

Lift up your heads, O ye gates; even lift them up, ye everlasting doors;

and the King of glory shall come in.

Who is this King of glory?

The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory.

– Psalm 24: 7–10

13

Prayer of Thanksgiving

Priest: Let us pray.

All: Eternal God, heavenly Father,

you have graciously accepted us as living members

of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ,

and you have fed us with spiritual food

in the Sacrament of his Body and Blood.

Send us now into the world in peace,

and grant us strength and courage

to love and serve you

with gladness and singleness of heart;

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

The Blessing

Priest: May God give you grace to follow the saints in faith and hope and love; and

the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit, be

among you, and remain with you always. Amen.

Hymn 623: “O what their joy and their glory must be” O quanta qualia

The Dismissal

Priest: Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.

People: Thanks be to God.

Voluntary: Litanies Jehan Alain (1911–1940)

We hope you can stay for a cup of coffee and to catch up with friends

and fellow worshippers in the undercroft following the service.

Thank you for continuing to wear your mask when not sipping your drink.

MUSIC NOTES Edgar Bainton (1880–1956) was a student of Charles Villiers Stanford at the

Royal College of Music. Bainton was not a prolific composer, and he is best remembered

today for his anthem “And I saw a new heaven.”

The anthem “Lift up your heads, O ye gates,” Opus 44, No. 2, by Welsh composer

William Mathias (1934–1992) is sung at Communion. This anthem was composed in 1969 for

inclusion in Oxford University Press’s anthology Anthems for Choirs 1, a staple of many

Anglican choirs. Roderic Dunnett notes that this anthem is “perky, confident, wickedly

militaristic and full of Welsh dragons.”

The unique voice of French composer Jehan Alain (1911–1940) was cut tragically

short when he was killed in action in World War II. Perhaps his best-known organ work,

Litanies, JA 100 expresses a particular kind of prayer that Alain described as “passionate

incantation” rising to the throne of heaven. The composer challenges the performer: “If

you get to the end without feeling exhausted you have neither understood [Litanies] nor

played it as I would want it.”
