8:00am Holy Communion
10:30am Parish Communion*
The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.
Opening Hymn*
1. Christ is the King! O friends rejoice;
brothers and sisters, with one voice
tell all the world he is your choice.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
2. O magnify the Lord, and raise
anthems of joy and holy praise
for Christ's brave saints of ancient days.
3. They with a faith for ever new
followed the King, and round him drew
thousands of faithful hearts and true.
4. O Christian women, Christian men,
all the world over, seek again
the Way disciples followed then.
5. Christ through all ages is the same:
place the same hope in his great name,
with the same faith his word proclaim.
6. Let love's unconquerable might
your scattered companies unite
in service to the Lord of light.
7. So shall God's will on earth be done,
new lamps be lit, new tasks begun,
and the whole church at last be one.
Words: George Kennedy Allen Bell (1883-1958)
Music: Vulpius (Gelobt Sei Gott), Melody from Melchior Vulpius’s Gesangbuch, 1609
(Ancient & Modern – 486)
Collect
Eternal Father,
whose Son Jesus Christ ascended to the throne of heaven
that he might rule over all things as Lord and King:
keep the Church in the unity of the Spirit
and in the bond of peace,
and bring the whole created order to worship at his feet;
who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – Daniel 7.9-10,13-14*
As I watched, thrones were set in place, and an Ancient One took his throne; his clothing
was white as snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and
its wheels were burning fire. A stream of fire issued and flowed out from his presence. A
thousand thousand served him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood attending him.
The court sat in judgement, and the books were opened. As I watched in the night visions, I
saw one like a human being coming with the clouds of heaven. And he came to the Ancient
One and was presented before him. To him was given dominion and glory and kingship,
that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him. His dominion is an everlasting
dominion that shall not pass away, and his kingship is one that shall never be destroyed.
Second Reading – Revelation 1.4b-8
Grace to you and peace from him who is and who was and who is to come, and from
the seven spirits who are before his throne, and from Jesus Christ, the faithful witness,
the firstborn of the dead, and the ruler of the kings of the earth. To him who loves us
and freed us from our sins by his blood, and made us to be a kingdom, priests serving his
God and Father, to him be glory and dominion for ever and ever. Amen. Look! He is
coming with the clouds; every eye will see him, even those who pierced him; and on his
account all the tribes of the earth will wail. So it is to be. Amen. ‘I am the Alpha and the
Omega’, says the Lord God, who is and who was and who is to come, the Almighty.
Gradual Hymn*
1. The head that once was crowned with thorns
is crowned with glory now:
a royal diadem adorns
the mighty Victor's brow.
2. The highest place that heaven affords
is his, is his by right,
the King of kings, and Lord of lords,
and heaven's eternal Light;
3. The joy all of all who dwell above,
the joy of all below,
to whom he manifests his love,
and grants his name to know.
4. To them the cross, with all its shame,
with all its grace, is given;
their name, an everlasting name,
their joy, the joy of heaven.
5. They suffer with their Lord below,
they reign with him above;
their profit and their joy to know
the mystery of his love.
6. The cross he bore is life and health,
though shame and death to him;
his people's hope, his people's wealth,
their everlasting theme.
Words: Thomas Kelly (1768-1855)
Music: St Magnus, melody by Jeremiah Clarke (c1673-1707) in Playford’s The Divine Companion 1709,
harmonised by William Henry Monk (1823-1889) (Ancient & Modern – 232)

Gospel – John 18.33-37
Pilate asked Jesus, ‘Are you the King of the Jews?’ Jesus answered, ‘Do you ask this on your own, or did others tell you about me?’ Pilate replied, ‘I am not a Jew, am I? Your own nation and the chief priests have handed you over to me. What have you done?’ Jesus answered, ‘My kingdom is not from this world. If my kingdom were from this world, my followers would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews. But as it is, my kingdom is not from here.’ Pilate asked him, ‘So you are a king?’ Jesus answered, ‘You say that I am a king. For this I was born, and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth. Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.’
Offertory Hymn*
1. At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now:
‘tis the Father’s pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
2. At his voice creation
sprang at once to sight,
all the angel faces,
all the hosts of light,
thrones and dominations,
stars upon their way,
all the heavenly orders,
in their great array.
3. Humbled for a season,
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners
unto whom he came,
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious,
when from death he passed:
4. Bore it up triumphant
with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures,
to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead,
to the Father’s breast;
filled it with the glory,
of that perfect rest.
5. Name him, Christians, name Him,
with love strong as death,
but with awe and wonder
and with bated breath:
he is God the Saviour,
he is Christ the Lord,
ever to be worshipped,
trusted and adored.
6. In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy,
all that is not true:
crown Him as your Captain
in temptation’s hour;
let his will enfold you
in its light and power.
6
7. Surely, this Lord Jesus
shall return again,
with his Father’s glory,
with his angel train;
for all wreaths of empire
meet upon his brow,
and our hearts confess him
King of glory now.
Words: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-1877)
Music: Evelyns, William Henry Monk (1823-1889)
(Ancient & Modern – 593)
Communion Anthem*
King of all ages, throned on high,
yet saviour too of those with faith,
death at your onslaught died in fear
and grace triumphant rules supreme.
Risen from death, the heavenly Christ
receives from God the Father’s hand.
Power over all created things:
a gift he could not know on earth.
Then at your coming on the clouds
with shining strength to be our judge,
cancel the debt we owe you still,
give back the glory we have lost.
Glory to you, O Christ our Lord,
exalted far beyond our sight,
reigning in bliss for evermore,
with Father and with Paraclete. Amen.
Words: 10th century Latin, trans Mount Saint Bernard Abbey
Music: Paul Isom (b 1959)
Communion Hymn*
1. All heaven declares the glory of the risen Lord.
Who can compare with the beauty of the Lord?
Forever he will be the Lamb upon the throne;
I gladly bow the knee and worship him alone.
2. I will proclaim the glory of the risen Lord,
who once was slain to reconcile the world to God.
Forever you will be the Lamb upon the throne.
I gladly bow the knee and worship you alone.
Words & Music: Noel Richards (b 1955) and Tricia Richards (b 1960) © 1987 Thankyou Music (Ancient & Modern – 193)

Post Communion Prayer
Stir up, O Lord,
the wills of your faithful people;
that they, plenteously bringing forth the fruit of good works,
may by you be plenteously rewarded;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Final Hymn*
1. Christ triumphant, ever reigning,
Saviour, Master, King!
Lord of heaven, our lives sustaining,
hear us as we sing:
Yours the glory and the crown,
the high renown, the eternal name!
2. Word incarnate, truth revealing,
Son of Man on earth!
Power and majesty concealing
by your humble birth:
3. Suffering servant, scorned, ill-treated,
victim crucified!
death is through the cross defeated,
sinners justified:
4. Priestly King, enthroned for ever
high in heaven above!
sin and death and hell shall never
stifle hymns of love:
5. So, our hearts and voices raising
through the ages long.
ceaselessly upon you gazing,
this shall be our song:
Words: Michael Saward (b 1932)

List’, highlighting the 50 countries
where it is most difficult to live as a
Christian. They will be launching the
2016 list in January in Parliament,
hosted by a Cabinet Minister. We are
all encouraged to invite our MPs to
attend this launch, so that the
message of the persecuted church
reaches our decision-makers. Could
you invite your MP? Go to this

Donations for the
Refugee Crisis
The images of desperate refugees
crossing the Mediterranean in
unstable boats, or packed illegally into
lorries, or protesting ‘We are human
beings too’ in the port of Calais, are a
distressing reminder of the shocking
refugee crisis that led to the founding
of Christian Aid in 1945. Christian Aid
is working with churches and other
agencies in supporting humanitarian
efforts taking place in Europe and the
Middle East. Their partners can
provide essential humanitarian
supplies such as food, fuel for cooking,
hygiene and sanitation kits, water
containers and cash assistance, as well
as psychological support for those
who are suffering as a result of the
conflict.
Donations to Christian Aid will
be gratefully received by the
treasurer, or you can donate
through their website directly at
http://bit.ly/refugeeappeal.
