2 Sunday 16 July 2017: THE SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST (TRINITY 5) Collect Almighty and everlasting God, by whose Spirit the whole body of the Church is governed and sanctified: hear our prayer which we offer for all your faithful people, that in their vocation and ministry they may serve you in holiness and truth to the glory of your name; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. A reading from Isaiah Isaiah For as the rain and the snow come down from heaven, and do not return there until they have watered the earth, making it bring forth and sprout, giving seed to the sower and bread to the eater, so shall my word be that goes out from my mouth; it shall not return to me empty, but it shall accomplish that which I purpose, and succeed in the thing for which I sent it. For you shall go out in joy, and be led back in peace; the mountains and the hills before you shall burst into song, and all the trees of the field shall clap their hands. Instead of the thorn shall come up the cypress; instead of the brier shall come up the myrtle; and it shall be to the Lord for a memorial, for an everlasting sign that shall not be cut off. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Psalm 65 (vv 9-13) 9. For thou O God hast proved us: thou hast tried us like as silver is tried. 10. Thou broughtest us into the snare: and laidest trouble upon our loins. 11. Thou madest men to ride over our heads; we went through fire and water: but thou broughtest us out into a place of liberty. 12. I will go into thine house with burnt-offerings: and unto thee will I pay my vows, 13. Even those which I promised with my lips: and spake with my mouth when I was in trouble. A reading from Paul s Letter to the Romans Romans There is therefore now no condemnation for those who are in Christ Jesus. For the law of the Spirit of life in Christ Jesus has set you free from the law of sin and of death. For God has done what the law, weakened by the flesh, could not do: by sending his own Son in the likeness of sinful flesh, and to deal with sin, he condemned sin in the flesh, so that the just requirement of the law might be fulfilled in us, who walk not according to the flesh but according to the Spirit.

3 For those who live according to the flesh set their minds on the things of the flesh, but those who live according to the Spirit set their minds on the things of the Spirit. To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God s law indeed it cannot, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. Listen to the Gospel of Christ according to Saint Matthew. Matthew , Glory to you, O Lord. That same day Jesus went out of the house and sat beside the lake. Such great crowds gathered around him that he got into a boat and sat there, while the whole crowd stood on the beach. And he told them many things in parables, saying: Listen! A sower went out to sow. And as he sowed, some seeds fell on the path, and the birds came and ate them up. Other seeds fell on rocky ground, where they did not have much soil, and they sprang up quickly, since they had no depth of soil. But when the sun rose, they were scorched; and since they had no root, they withered away. Other seeds fell among thorns, and the thorns grew up and choked them. Other seeds fell on good soil and brought forth grain, some a hundredfold, some sixty, some thirty. Let anyone with ears listen! Hear then the parable of the sower. When anyone hears the word of the kingdom and does not understand it, the evil one comes and snatches away what is sown in the heart; this is what was sown on the path. As for what was sown on rocky ground, this is the one who hears the word and immediately receives it with joy; yet such a person has no root, but endures only for a while, and when trouble or persecution arises on account of the word, that person immediately falls away. As for what was sown among thorns, this is the one who hears the word, but the cares of the world and the lure of wealth choke the word, and it yields nothing. But as for what was sown on good soil, this is the one who hears the word and understands it, who indeed bears fruit and yields, in one case a hundredfold, in another sixty, and in another thirty. This is the Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, O Christ.

4 HYMNS AT THE 11AM CHORAL EUCHARIST THE PROCESSIONAL HYMN 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. 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. 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. 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: Bianco da Siena (d 1434) Music: Down Ampney(R.Vaughan Williams )

5 OFFERTORY HYMN For the beauty of the earth, for the beauty of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies: Lord of all, to thee we raise this our sacrifice of praise. For the beauty of each hour of the day and of the night, hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon and stars of light: Chorus For the joy of ear and eye, for the heart and brain's delight, for the mystic harmony linking sense to sound and sight: Chorus For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child, friends on earth, and friends above, for all gentle thoughts and mild: Chorus For each perfect gift of thine to our race so freely given, graces human and divine, flowers of earth and buds of heaven: Chorus (Continued)

6 For thy Church that evermore lifteth holy hands above, offering up on every shore her pure sacrifice of love: Chorus Words: Folliott Sandford Pierpoint ( ) Music: ENGLAND S LANE Geoffrey Shaw ( )

7 POST COMMUNION HYMN Forth in thy name, O Lord, I go, My daily labour to pursue, Thee, only thee, resolved to know In all I think, or speak, or do. The task thy wisdom has assigned O let me cheerfully fulfil, In all my works thy presence find, And prove thy good and perfect will, Preserve me from my calling's snare, And hide my simple heart above, Above the thorns of choking care, The gilded baits of worldy love. Thee may I set at my right hand, Whose eyes my inmost substance see, And labour on at thy command, And offer all my works to thee. Give me to bear thy easy yoke, And every moment watch and pray, And still to things eternal look, And hasten to thy glorious day; For thee delightfully employ Whate'er thy bounteous grace has given, And run my course with even joy, And closely walk with thee to heaven. Words: Charles Wesley ( ) Music: SONG 34 (Angels Song) Melody by Orlando Gibbons ( )
