8:00am Holy Communion

10:30am Parish Communion*

The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.

Opening Hymn*

1. Awake, awake: fling off the night!

for God has sent his glorious light;

and we who live in Christ’s new day

must works of darkness put away.

2. Awake and rise, with love renewed,

and with the Spirit’s power endued.

The light of life in us must glow,

the fruits of truth and goodness show.

3. Let in the light: all sin expose

to Christ, whose life no darkness knows.

Before his cross for guidance kneel;

his light will judge and, judging, heal.

4. Awake, and rise up from the dead,

and Christ his light on you will shed.

Its power will wrong desires destroy,

and your whole nature fill with joy.

5. Then sing for joy, and use each day;

give thanks for everything alway.

Lift up your hearts; with one accord

praise God through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Words: John Raphael Peacey (1896-1971)

Music: Deus tuorum militum, Grenoble church melody, harm Michael Fleming (1928-2006)

(Ancient & Modern – 327)

Collect

Eternal Father,

who at the baptism of Jesus

revealed him to be your Son,

anointing him with the Holy Spirit:

grant to us, who are born again by water and the Spirit,

that we may be faithful to our calling as your adopted children;

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – Isaiah 43.1-7*

Thus says the LORD, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do

not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you

pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not

overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame

shall not consume you. For I am the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, your

Saviour. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Because

you are precious in my sight, and honoured, and I love you, I give people in return for

you, nations in exchange for your life. Do not fear, for I am with you; I will bring your

offspring from the east, and from the west I will gather you; I will say to the north,

‘Give them up’, and to the south, ‘Do not withhold; bring my sons from far away and

my daughters from the end of the earth – everyone who is called by my name, whom I

created for my glory, whom I formed and made.’

Second Reading – Acts 8.14-17

When the apostles at Jerusalem heard that Samaria had accepted the word of God, they

sent Peter and John to them. The two went down and prayed for them that they might

receive the Holy Spirit (for as yet the Spirit had not come upon any of them; they had only

been baptized in the name of the Lord Jesus). Then Peter and John laid their hands on

them, and they received the Holy Spirit.

Gradual Hymn*

1. River, wash over me,

cleanse me and make me new.

Bathe me, refresh me and fill me anew.

River, wash over me.

2. Spirit, watch over me,

lead me to Jesus’ feet.

Cause me to worship and fill me anew.

Spirit, watch over me.

3. Jesus, rule over me,

reign over all my heart.

Teach me to praise you and fill me anew.

Jesus, rule over me.

Gospel – Luke 3.15-17,21-22

(In the wilderness John proclaimed a baptism of repentance.) As the people were filled

with expectation, and all were questioning in their hearts concerning John, whether he

might be the Messiah, John answered all of them by saying, ‘I baptize you with water;

but one who is more powerful than I is coming; I am not worthy to untie the thong of

his sandals. He will baptize you with the Holy Spirit and fire. His winnowing-fork is in

his hand, to clear his threshing-floor and to gather the wheat into his granary; but the

chaff he will burn with unquenchable fire.’ Now when all the people were baptized, and

when Jesus also had been baptized and was praying, the heaven was opened, and the

Holy Spirit descended upon him in bodily form like a dove. And a voice came from

heaven, ‘You are my Son, the Beloved; with you I am well pleased.’

Offertory Hymn*

1. O love, how deep, how broad, how high!

It fills the heart with ecstasy,

that God, the Son of God, should take

our mortal form for mortals’ sake.

2. He sent no angel to our race

of higher or of lower place,

but wore the robe of human frame,

himself, and to this lost world came.

3. For us he was baptized, and bore

his holy fast, and hungered sore;

for us temptations sharp he knew;

for us the tempter overthrew.

4. For us to wicked men betrayed,

scourged. mocked, in purple robe arrayed;

he bore the shameful cross and death;

for us at length gave up his breath.

5. For us he rose from death again,

for us he went on high to reign,

for us he sent his Spirit here

to guide, to strengthen, and to cheer.

6. To him whose boundless love has won

salvation for us through his Son,,

to God the Father, glory be,

both now and through eternity.

Words: O amor quam ecstaticus, ascribed to Thomas à Kempis (c1379-1471), tr Benjamin Webb (1819 – 1885)

Music: Eisenach, melody Johann Hermann Schein (1586-1630), harm Johann Sebastian Bach (1685-1750) (A & M – 149)

Communion Anthem*

When John baptized by Jordan's river

in faith and hope the people came,

that John and Jordan might deliver

their troubled souls from sin and shame.

They came to seek a new beginning,

the human spirit's ageless quest,

repentance and an end of sinning,

renouncing every wrong confessed.

There as the Lord, baptized and praying,

rose from the stream the sinless One,

a voice was heard from heaven saying,

“This is my own beloved Son.”

There as the Father's word was spoken,

not in the power of wind and flame,

but of his love and peace the token,

seen as a dove, the Spirit came.

6

O Son of Man, our nature sharing,

in whose obedience all are blest,

Saviour, our sins and sorrows bearing,

hear us and grant us this request:

daily to grow, by grace defended,

filled with the Spirit from above;

in Christ baptized, beloved, befriended,

children of God in peace and love.

Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b 1926)

Music: Rendez à Dieu, Louis Bourgeois (c1510-1561), harm Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) – A&M 432

Communion Hymn*

1. Just as I am, without one plea

but that thy blood was shed for me,

and that thou bidst me come to thee,

O Lamb of God, I come.

2. Just as I am, though tossed about

with many a conflict, many a doubt,

fightings and fears within, without,


3. Just as I am, poor, wretched, blind;

sight, riches, healing of the mind,

yea, all I need, in thee to find,


4. Just as I am, thou wilt receive,

wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve:

because thy promise I believe,


5. Just as I am, thy love unknown

has broken every barrier down;

now to be thine, yea, thine alone,


6. Just as I am, of that free love

the breadth, length, depth, and height to prove,

here for a season, then above,


Words: Charlotte Elliott (1789-1871)

Music: Saffron Walden, A W Godfrey Brown (b 1936)


Post Communion Prayer

Lord of all time and eternity,

you opened the heavens and revealed yourself as Father

in the baptism of Jesus your beloved Son:

by the power of your Spirit

complete the heavenly work of our rebirth

through the waters of the new creation;

through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Final Hymn

1. Lord, the light of your love is shining,

in the midst of the darkness, shining;

Jesus, Light of the world, shine upon us,

set us free by the truth you now bring us.

shine on me, shine on me.

Shine, Jesus, shine,

fill this land with the Fatherʼs glory;

blaze, Spirit, blaze,

set our hearts on fire.

Flow, river, flow,

flood the nations with grace and mercy;

send forth your word, Lord,

and let there be light.

2. Lord, I come to your awesome presence,

from the shadows into your radiance;

by the blood I may enter your brightness,

search me, try me, consume all my darkness.


3. As we gaze on your kingly brightness,

so our faces display your likeness,

ever changing from glory to glory;

mirrored here may our lives tell your story.
