8:00am Holy Communion

10:30am Family Communion*

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

Opening Hymn*

1. Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, and lighten with celestial fire;

thou the anointing Spirit art, who dost thy sevenfold gifts impart:

2. Thy blessèd unction from above

is comfort, life, and fire of love; enable with perpetual light

the dullness of our blinded sight:

3. Anoint and cheer our soilèd face with the abundance of thy grace:

keep far from foes, give peace at home; where thou art guide no ill can come.

4. Teach us to know the Father, Son,

and thee, of both, to be but One; that through the ages all along

this may be our endless song,

Praise to thy eternal merit, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit. Amen.

Words: based on Veni, Creator Spiritus, Latin 8th or 9th century, John Cosin (1594-1672)

Music: Veni Creator (Mechlin), plainsong mode viii (Ancient & Modern – 241)

Collect

God, who as at this time taught the hearts of your faithful people

by sending to them the light of your Holy Spirit: grant us by the same Spirit

to have a right judgement in all things and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort;

through the merits of Christ Jesus our Saviour, who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – Ezekiel 37.1-14

The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all

around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. He said to me, ‘Mortal, can these bones live?’ I answered, ‘O Lord GOD, you know.’ Then he

said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you,

and you shall live. I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I

am the LORD.’ So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. I

looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to the

breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.’ I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and

stood on their feet, a vast multitude. Then he said to me, ‘Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, “Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are

cut off completely.” Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I

will bring you back to the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people. I will put my

spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken and will act, says the LORD.’

Second Reading – Acts 2.1-21

When the day of Pentecost had come, they were all together in one place. And suddenly

from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a

tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews

from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native

language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, ‘Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians,

Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs – in our own languages we

hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.’ All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, ‘What does this mean?’ But others sneered and said, ‘They are filled with

5

new wine.’ But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them:

‘Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the

morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: “In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your

daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out

my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day.

Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.”

Gradual Hymn*

1. O Breath of Life, come sweeping through us,

revive your church with life and pow’r; O Breath of Life, come cleanse, renew us,

and fit your church to meet this hour.

2. O Breath of Love, come breathe within us, renewing thought and will and heart;

come, love of Christ, afresh to win us, revive your church in every part!

3. O Wind of God, come bend us, break us,

till humbly we confess our need; then, in your tenderness remake us,

revive, restore - for this we plead.

4. Revive us, Lord; is zeal abating while harvest fields are vast and white?

Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting - equip thy church to spread the light.

Words: Elizabeth (Bessie) Porter Head (1850-1936)

Music: Spiritus Vitae, Mary Jane Hammond (1878-1964) (The Source – 379)

Gospel – John 15.26-27; 16.4b-15

Jesus spoke to his disciples: ‘When the Advocate comes, whom I will send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who comes from the Father, he will testify on my behalf.

You also are to testify because you have been with me from the beginning. I have said these things to you so that when their hour comes you may remember that I told you

about them. ‘I did not say these things to you from the beginning, because I was with you. But now I am going to him who sent me; yet none of you asks me, “Where are

you going?” But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your hearts. Nevertheless I tell you the truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not

go away, the Advocate will not come to you; but if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will prove the world wrong about sin and righteousness and

judgement: about sin, because they do not believe in me; about righteousness, because

6

I am going to the Father and you will see me no longer; about judgement, because the

ruler of this world has been condemned. I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth comes, he will guide you into all the

truth; for he will not speak on his own, but will speak whatever he hears, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, because he will take

what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine. For this reason I said that he will take what is mine and declare it to you.’

Offertory Hymn*

1. Come down, O Love divine, seek thou this soul of mine,

and visit it with thine own ardour glowing;

O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear,

and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.

2. O let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn

to dust and ashes in its heat consuming; and let thy glorious light

shine ever on my sight, and clothe me round,

the while my path illuming.

3. Let holy charity mine outward vesture be,

and lowliness become mine inner clothing:

true lowliness of heart, which takes the humbler part,

and o’er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.

4. And so the yearning strong,

with which the soul will long, shall far outpass the power

of human telling; for none can guess its grace,

till he become the place wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

Words: Discendi, amor santo, Bianco da Siena (d 1434) tr Richard Frederick Littledale (1833-1890) Music: Down Ampney, Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)

(Ancient & Modern – 238)

Communion Anthem*

Gracious Spirit, Holy Ghost,

taught by thee, we covet most of thy gifts at Pentecost,

holy, heavenly love.

Love is kind, and suffers long,

love is meek, and thinks no wrong, love than death itself more strong;

therefore give us love.

7

Prophecy will fade away,

melting in the light of day; love will ever with us stay;


Faith will vanish into sight;

hope be emptied in delight; love in heaven will shine more bright;


Faith and hope and love we see joining hand in hand agree;

but the greatest of the three, and the best, is love.

Words: from 1 Corinthians 13, Christopher Wordsworth (1807-1885)

Music: Grayston Ives (1978-1985)

Communion Hymn*

1. Father, we adore you, lay our lives before you:

how we love you!

2. Jesus, we adore you, lay our lives before you:

how we love you!

3. Spirit, we adore you, lay our lives before you:

how we love you!

Words & Music: Terrye Coelho (b 1952) © 1972 Maranatha Music (Ancient & Modern – 274)

Post Communion Prayer

Faithful God,

who fulfilled the promises of Easter by sending us your Holy Spirit

and opening to every race and nation the way of life eternal: open our lips by your Spirit,

that every tongue may tell of your glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Final Hymn*

1. Holy Spirit, come, confirm us in the truth that Christ makes known;

we have faith and understanding through your helping gifts alone.

2. Holy Spirit, come, console us, come as Advocate to plead,

loving Spirit from the Father, grant in Christ the help we need.
