1 The Cathedral Church of St. James The Patronal Festival - St. James the Apostle July 22, 2018 Procession & Choral Eucharist at 11:00am "Mandala of the Good Shepherd" by Jyoti Sahi, India. Lead, Kindly Light, amidst th'encircling gloom, lead Thou me on! The night is dark, and I am far from home, lead Thou me on! Keep Thou my feet; I do not ask to see the distant scene; one step enough for me. I was not ever thus, nor prayed that Thou shouldst lead me on; I loved to choose and see my path; but now lead Thou me on! I loved the garish day, and, spite of fears, pride ruled my will. Remember not past years! So long Thy power hath blest me, sure it still will lead me on. O er moor and fen, o er crag and torrent, till the night is gone, And with the morn those angel faces smile, which I have loved long since, and lost awhile! Meantime, along the narrow rugged path, thyself hast trod, Lead, Saviour, lead me home in childlike faith, home to my God. To rest forever after earthly strife in the calm light of everlasting life. Cardinal John Henry Newman, "The Pillar and the Cloud," England: 1833.

Presider People Presider People Presider People Let us pray. We thank thee God and Author of Life for the gift of water. From the stirring sea you called forth thy servant James. Open our hearts to answer thy call. With courage, James followed the footsteps of Christ. Consecrate us to the way of Life. God who called a common fisherman to participate in thy healing mission, we ask thee to make the common holy. Sanctify this water by the power of thy Holy Spirit, that those outwardly anointed might be inwardly devoted to follow after thee; in the name of the Father, and of the Son, and of the Holy Ghost. Amen. The Procession Deacon Let us go forth in peace. Alleluia! People In the name of Christ. Amen. Alleluia! The procession moves through the nave and the presider sprinkles the congregation with water. 1

4 Hymn Text: vv. 1, 3, 5, 8 William Walsham How; vv. 2, 4, 6, 7 Shirley Erena Murray; Music: Ralph Vaughan Williams; Tune: Sine Nomine For all the saints, who from their labours rest, all who by faith before the world confessed, your name, O Jesus, be forever blest. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Give thanks for life, the measure of our days, mortal, we pass through beauty that decays, yet sing to God our hope, our love, our praise, Hallelujah, hallelujah! O blest communion, fellowship divine! We feebly struggle, they in glory shine; yet all are one within your great design. Hallelujah, hallelujah! Give thanks for those who made their life a light caught from the Christ-flame, bursting through the night, who touched the truth, who burned for what is right, Hallelujah, hallelujah! But lo! there breaks a yet more glorious day the saints triumphant rise in bright array: as God to glory calls them all away. Hallelujah, hallelujah! And for our own, our living and our dead, thanks for the love by which our life is fed, a love not changed by time or death or dread, Hallelujah, hallelujah! Give thanks for hope, that like the wheat, the grain lying in darkness does its life retain in resurrection to grow green again, Hallelujah, hallelujah! From earth s wide bounds, from ocean s farthest coast, through gates of pearl streams in the countless host, singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost: Hallelujah, hallelujah! 2

5 Collect of the Day Presider Let us pray. Please remain standing. Almighty God, we remember today your servant James, the first apostle to give his life for faith in Jesus Christ. Pour out on all your people that spirit of self-denying service which is the mark of true leadership. We ask this in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. People Amen. THE PROCLAMATION OF THE WORD The First Reading Please be seated. Jeremiah 45: 1-5 Reader The word that the prophet Jeremiah spoke to Baruch son of Neriah, when he wrote these words in a scroll at the dictation of Jeremiah, in the fourth year of King Jehoiakim son of Josiah of Judah: Thus says the Lord, the God of Israel, to you, O Baruch: You said, Woe is me! The Lord has added sorrow to my pain; I am weary with my groaning, and I find no rest. Thus you shall say to him, Thus says the Lord: I am going to break down what I have built, and pluck up what I have planted that is, the whole land. And you, do you seek great things for yourself? Do not seek them; for I am going to bring disaster upon all flesh, says the Lord; but I will give you your life as a prize of war in every place to which you may go. Reader The word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. Psalm Please remain seated. Psalm 7: 1-10 Chant by Herbert Howells Choir O Lord my God, in thee have I put my trust: save me from all them that persecute me, and deliver me; Lest mine enemy devour my soul like a lion, and tear it in pieces, while there is none to help, O Lord my God, if I have done any such thing; or if there be any wickedness in my hands; If I have rewarded evil unto him that dealt friendly with me; (yea rather, I have delivered him that without any cause is mine enemy;) 3

6 Then let mine enemy persecute my soul, and take me; yea, let him tread my life down upon the earth, and lay mine honour in the dust. Stand up, O Lord, in thy wrath, and lift up thyself against the fury of mine enemies; arise up for me in the judgement that thou hast commanded. And let the congregation of the peoples come about thee; and over it take thy seat on high. The Lord shall judge the peoples: give sentence for me, O Lord, according to my righteousness, and according to the innocency that is in me. O let the wickedness of the ungodly come to an end; but guide thou the just. For the righteous God trieth the very minds and hearts. The Second Reading Acts 11: 27 12: 3 Reader At that time prophets came down from Jerusalem to Antioch. One of them named Agabus stood up and predicted by the Spirit that there would be a severe famine over all the world; and this took place during the reign of Claudius. The disciples determined that according to their ability, each would send relief to the believers living in Judea; this they did, sending it to the elders by Barnabas and Saul. About that time King Herod laid violent hands upon some who belonged to the church. He had James, the brother of John, killed with the sword. After he saw that it pleased the Jews, he proceeded to arrest Peter also. (This was during the festival of Unleavened Bread.) Reader The word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. 4

7 Gospel Acclamation Plainsong Please stand as you are able and turn to face the Gospeller in the centre aisle. Cantor Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! People Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! Cantor I chose you and appointed you, says the Lord; that you should go and bear fruit, fruit that will last. People Alleluia! Alleluia! Alleluia! The Holy Gospel Matthew 20: Gospeller The Lord be with you. People And with thy spirit. Gospeller The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. People Glory be to thee, O Lord. Gospeller Gospeller People Homily The mother of the sons of Zebedee came to Jesus with her sons, and kneeling before him, she asked a favour of him. And he said to her, What do you want? She said to him, Declare that these two sons of mine will sit, one at your right hand and one at your left, in your kingdom. But Jesus answered, You do not know what you are asking. Are you able to drink the cup that I am about to drink? They said to him, We are able. He said to them, You will indeed drink my cup, but to sit at my right hand and at my left, this is not mine to grant, but it is for those for whom it has been prepared by my Father. When the ten heard it, they were angry with the two brothers. But Jesus called them to him and said, You know that the rulers of the Gentiles lord it over them, and their great ones are tyrants over them. It will not be so among you; but whoever wishes to be great among you must be your servant, and whoever wishes to be first among you must be your slave; just as the Son of Man came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life a ransom for many. The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ. 5

8 The Nicene Creed Please stand, as you are able. Merbecke Presider I believe in one God All the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, and of all things visible and invisible: And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, begotten of the Father before all worlds; God, of God; Light, of Light; very God, of very God; begotten, not made; being of one substance with the Father; through whom all things were made: who for us all and for our salvation came down from heaven, and was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of the Virgin Mary, and was made man, and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate. He suffered and was buried, and the third day he rose again according to the scriptures, and ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of the Father. And he shall come again with glory to judge both the quick and the dead: whose kingdom shall have no end. And I believe in the Holy Ghost, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceedeth from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified, who spake by the prophets. And I believe one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church. I acknowledge one baptism for the remission of sins. And I look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. The Intercession Presider Dear friends in Christ, in communion with our Patron and all the saints, let us pray to God for the Church and the world. Please kneel, as you are able. Intercessor God, hear our prayer. People And let our cry come unto thee. At the Thanksgiving for the departed: Intercessor Rest eternal grant unto them, O Lord, People And let light perpetual shine upon them.

This we ask in the name of your Son Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen. 6

9 Confession and Absolution Presider Let us humbly confess our sins to almighty God. Almighty God, All Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all people: We acknowledge and confess our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word and deed, against thy divine majesty. We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings. Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father; For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ s sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honour and glory of thy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Presider Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to all them that with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him: have mercy upon you; pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

11 Presider People Lord God, today we honour your servant James, the first apostle to share the cup of suffering and death. Receive our offering of praise and thanksgiving, and renew us in the service of your Son Jesus Christ, who came not to be served but to serve, and to give his life as a ransom for many. We ask this in his name. Amen. Thanksgiving & Consecration Presider The Lord be with you. People And with thy spirit. Presider Lift up your hearts. People We lift them up unto the Lord.

Presider It is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God, Creator and Preserver of all things. Who in the multitude of thy saints hast compassed us about with so great a cloud of witnesses, that we, rejoicing in their fellowship, may run with patience the race that is set before us, and together with them may receive the crown of glory that fadeth not away. Therefore, with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee and saying: Please kneel, as you are able. 9

12 Sanctus & Benedictus Choir Presider Missa Paschalis Ludwig Senfl Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth, pleni sunt coeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus, qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis. Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts, heaven and earth are full of thy glory. Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High. Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord: Hosanna in the highest. Blessing and glory and thanksgiving be unto thee Almighty God, our heavenly Father, who of thy tender mercy didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption; who made there, by his one oblation of himself once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memorial of that his precious death, until his coming again. Hear us, O merciful Father, we most humbly beseech thee; and grant that we receiving these thy creatures of bread and wine, according to thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ s holy institution, in remembrance of his death and passion, may be partakers of his most blessed Body and Blood; who, in the same night that he was betrayed, took Bread; And, when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, Take, eat; this is my Body which is given for you: Do this in remembrance of me. Likewise after supper he took the cup; and, when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all, of this; for this is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the remission of sins: Do this as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me. Wherefore, O Father, Lord of heaven and earth, we thy humble servants, with all thy holy Church, remembering the precious death of thy beloved Son, his mighty resurrection, and glorious ascension, and looking for his coming again in glory, do make before thee, in this sacrament of the holy Bread of eternal life and the Cup of everlasting salvation, the memorial which he hath commanded. 10

13 People And we entirely desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, most humbly beseeching thee to grant, that by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we and all thy whole Church may obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of his passion; and we pray that by the power of thy Holy Spirit, all we who are partakers of this holy Communion may be fulfilled with thy grace and heavenly benediction; through Jesus Christ our Lord, by whom and with whom, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen. The Lord s Prayer Merbecke Presider And now, as our Saviour Christ hath taught us, we are bold to say: Our Father, All 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 them that trespass against us; And lead us not into temptation, But deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. The Breaking of the Bread Presider We break this bread to share in the body of Christ. All We, being many, are one body, for we all share in the one bread. The Communion Presider The gifts of God for the People of God. People Thanks be to God. Agnus Dei Missa Paschalis Ludwig Senfl Choir Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, miserere nobis. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona nobis pacem. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, have mercy upon us. O Lamb of God, that takest away the sin of the world, grant us thy peace. 11

15 Hymn text In our day of thanksgiving one psalm let us offer For the saints who before us have found their reward; When the shadow of death fell upon them, we sorrowed, But now we rejoice that they rest in the Lord. In the morning of life, and at noon, and at even, He called them away from our worship below; But not till his love, at the font and the altar, Had girt them with grace for the way they should go. These stones that have echoed their praises are holy, And dear is the ground where their feet have once trod; Yet here they confessed they were strangers and pilgrims, And still they were seeking the city of God. Sing praise then, for all who here sought and here found him, Whose journey is ended, whose perils are past: They believed in the Light; and its glory is round them, Where the clouds of earth s sorrow are lifted at last. Motet Jubilate Deo Benjamin Britten Choir O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands: serve the Lord with gladness, and come before his presence with a song. Be ye sure that the Lord he is God: it is he that hath made us, and not we ourselves; we are his children and the sheep of his pasture. O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving, and into his courts with praise; be thankful unto him and speak good of his Name. For the Lord is gracious, his mercy is everlasting, and his truth endureth from generation to generation. Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost; as it was and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. Prayer after Communion Presider Let us pray. Please stand, as you are able. Father, we have eaten the bread of your table and drunk from the cup of your kingdom. Teach us, we pray, the way of service that in compassion and humility we may reflect the glory of Jesus Christ, the Son of man and Son of God, our Lord. People Amen. 13

16 Presider All Glory to God, whose power, working in us, can do infinitely more than we can ask or imagine. Glory to God from generation to generation, in the Church and in Christ Jesus, for ever and ever. Amen. The Blessing Presider The peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord: And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you and remain with you always. People Amen. Hymn Hymn text on facing page Text: Ps. 117; para. Isaac Watts; Music: Geistliche Kirchengesänge; Tune: Lasst Uns Erfreuen 14
