THE GATHERING

Stand Christ, whose glory fills the skies

Charles Wesley (1707-88)NEH 234

All Christ, whose glory fills the skies,Christ, the true, the only light,

Sun of Righteousness, arise,

Triumph oer the shades of night;

Dayspring from on high, be near;Daystar, in my heart appear.

Dark and cheerless is the morn

Unaccompanied by thee;

Joyless is the days return,

Till thy mercys beams I see;

Till they inward light impart,

Glad my eyes, and warm my heart.

Visit then this soul of mine,

Pierce the gloom of sin and grief;

Fill me, radiancy divine,

Scatter all my unbelief;

More and more thyself display,

Shining to the perfect day.

In the name of the Father,

and of the Son,

and of the Holy Spirit.

All Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

Sit ReadingActs 16. 9-15

During the night Paul had a vision: there stood a man of

Macedonia pleading with him and saying, Come over to

Macedonia and help us. When he had seen the vision,

we immediately tried to cross over to Macedonia, being

convinced that God had called us to proclaim the good

news to them.

We set sail from Troas and took a straight course toSamothrace, the following day to Neapolis, and from

there to Philippi, which is a leading city of the district of

Macedonia and a Roman colony. We remained in this

city for some days. On the sabbath day we went

outside the gate by the river, where we supposed there

was a place of prayer; and we sat down and spoke to

the women who had gathered there. A certain womannamed Lydia, a worshipper of God, was listening to us;

she was from the city of Thyatira and a dealer in purple

cloth. The Lord opened her heart to listen eagerly to

what was said by Paul. When she and her household

were baptized, she urged us, saying, If you have judged

me to be faithful to the Lord, come and stay at my

home. And she prevailed upon us.

This is the word of the Lord.

All Thanks be to God.

Stand Let all the world in every corner singGeorge Herbert (1593-1632)

NEH 394

Let all the world in every corner sing,My God and King!

The heavens are not too high,

His praise may thither fly,

The earth is not too low,

His praises there may grow.

Let all the world in every corner sing,

My God and King!

Let all the world in every corner sing,

My God and King!

The church with psalms must shout,

No door can keep them out;

But, above all, the heart

Must bear the longest part.

Let all the world in every corner sing,My God and King!

The Gospel

John 5. 1-9

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according

to John

All Glory to you, O Lord.

Jesus answered him, Those who love me will keep my

word, and my Father will love them, and we will come

to them and make our home with them. Whoever does

not love me does not keep my words; and the wordthat you hear is not mine, but is from the Father who

sent me.

I have said these things to you while I am still with

you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the

Father will send in my name, will teach you everything,and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I

leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give toyou as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be

troubled, and do not let them be afraid. You heard me

say to you, I am going away, and I am coming to you.

If you loved me, you would rejoice that I am going to

the Father, because the Father is greater than I. And

now I have told you this before it occurs, so that when

it does occur, you may believe.

This is the Gospel of the Lord

All Praise to you, O Christ.

he ascended into heaven

and 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.

made once for all upon the cross;

we proclaim his mighty resurrection and

glorious ascension;

we look for the coming of your kingdom,

and with this bread and this cup

we make the memorial of Christ your Son our Lord.
