2 M U S I C N O T E S Johann Gustav Eduard Stehle ( ) was a German-Swiss choirmaster, organist, and composer. He was an influential figure in the Cecilian movement, which sought to renew interest in Gregorian chant and restore it to its proper importance in the liturgy. This morning s prelude is based upon the Te Deum, which you can find with its original melody in the hymnal at S-282. The music exploits the modal character of this ancient song, seeking to express the majesty, glory, and power of the universal praise expressed in the text. The hymn Holy God, we praise thy name (nr. 366), originally a German paraphrase of the Te Deum, is dialogued with the plainchant, and quoted in full at the end, in the same way that our liturgy happily finds a place for both the cantor's venerable repertory and the singing of the congregation. As you listen, you might contemplate the beauty of our Te Deum window in the north transept, and as the month begins, consider how you may be able to help in its restoration. Today s postlude, Bach's Prelude and Fugue in G, was composed in Weimar between 1712 and The prelude represents a merging of the North German organ school with the forward-looking orchestral Italian style of Vivaldi and Corelli. The striking, fantastically stylish stylus fantasticus opening resembles a soloist s introduction, exploring the key and climbing to a peak, as the orchestra joins in. The remainder of the prelude consists of dialogue between solo voices and full ensemble. The fugue s subject is copied from Cantata 21, composed at the same time, with the text I have had much grief in my heart, but [God s] comforting brings my soul to life. A parallel can be drawn to today s readings, in which the people of God make a wandering journey, yet receive comfort and sustenance on their way, and ultimately reach a joyful end. 2

5 Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. Let your continual mercy, O Lord, cleanse and defend your Church; and, because it cannot continue in safety without your help, protect and govern it always by your goodness; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. T H E LITURGY O F T H E W O R D First Reading Exodus 16:2-4, 9-15 The whole congregation of the Israelites complained against Moses and Aaron in the wilderness. The Israelites said to them, "If only we had died by the hand of the LORD in the land of Egypt, when we sat by the fleshpots and ate our fill of bread; for you have brought us out into this wilderness to kill this whole assembly with hunger." Then the LORD said to Moses, "I am going to rain bread from heaven for you, and each day the people shall go out and gather enough for that day. In that way I will test them, whether they will follow my instruction or not." Then Moses said to Aaron, "Say to the whole congregation of the Israelites, `Draw near to the LORD, for he has heard your complaining.'" And as Aaron spoke to the whole congregation of the Israelites, they looked toward the wilderness, and the glory of the LORD appeared in the cloud. The LORD spoke to Moses and said, "I have heard the complaining of the Israelites; say to them, `At twilight you shall eat meat, and in the morning you shall have your fill of bread; then you shall know that I am the LORD your God.'" In the evening quails came up and covered the camp; and in the morning there was a layer of dew around the camp. When the layer of dew lifted, there on the surface of the wilderness was a fine flaky substance, as fine as frost on the ground. When the Israelites saw it, they said to one another, "What is it?" For they did not know what it was. Moses said to them, "It is the bread that the LORD has given you to eat." Reader People The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 5

6 Gradual Psalm 78:14-20, Arranged by James McGregor Refrain Cantor, then all repeat V\zzzzztvzzuvzzzzzzzuvzzzzzztvzzzuzzzzzzzzizzzzzzzuvyvzzuvv The Lord rained down man-na up- on them VzzzzzzztzzzzzRv\vtzzzzzzzzzzyzzzzzzzzzzuzzzzzzzzzzzzrvzzzyzzzzzzzzztvzzzzRzzzzzzzEv/ to eat so man ate the bread of an- gels. He led them with a cloud by day, and all the night through with a glow of fire. He split the hard rocks in the wilderness and gave them drink as from the great deep. All repeat the Refrain. He brought streams out of the cliff, and the waters gushed out like rivers. But they went on sinning against him, rebelling in the desert against the Most High. All repeat the Refrain. They tested God in their hearts, demanding food for their craving. They railed against God and said, "Can God set a table in the wilderness? True, he struck the rock, the waters gushed out, and the gullies overflowed; but is he able to give bread or to provide meat for his people?" All repeat the Refrain. So he commanded the clouds above and opened the doors of heaven. He rained down manna upon them to eat and gave them grain from heaven. All repeat the Refrain. Second Reading Ephesians 4:17-25 Now this I affirm and insist on in the Lord: you must no longer live as the Gentiles live, in the futility of their minds. They are darkened in their understanding, alienated from the life of God because of their ignorance and hardness of heart. They have lost all sensitivity and have abandoned themselves to licentiousness, greedy to practice every kind of impurity. That is not the way you learned Christ! For surely you have heard about him and were taught in him, as truth is in Jesus. You were taught to put away your former way of life, your old self, corrupt and deluded by its lusts, and to be renewed in the spirit of your minds, and to clothe yourselves with the new self, created according to the likeness of God in true righteousness and holiness. So then, putting away falsehood, let all of us speak the truth to our neighbors, for we are members of one another. 6

7 Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God. A brief period of silence is observed. Sequence Hymn 343 Alleluia Cantor, then all repeat XzzzevzrvRvEcx,czztvuvUivIUcxz,ctrcxztrczzEvzzEv/ Al- le- lu- ia, al- le- lu- ia, al- le- lu- ia. O Lord, my God, my Saviour, by day and night I cry to you. (Psalm88) All repeat Alleluia Holy Gospel John 6:24-35 Deacon The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. Vzzzzzzzzzzzzzz6zvvvcczdrvczzzYzzzzzzzzz/ People Glory to you, Lord Christ. The next day, when the people who remained after the feeding of the five thousand saw that neither Jesus nor his disciples were there, they themselves got into the boats and went to Capernaum looking for Jesus. When they found him on the other side of the sea, they said to him, "Rabbi, when did you come here?" Jesus answered them, "Very truly, I tell you, you are looking for me, not because you saw signs, but because you ate your fill of the loaves. Do not work for the food that perishes, but for the food that endures for eternal life, which the Son of Man will give you. For it is on him that God the Father has set his seal." Then they said to him, "What must we do to perform the works of God?" Jesus answered them, "This is the work of God, that you believe in him whom he has sent." So they said to him, "What sign are you going to give us then, so that we may see it and believe you? What work are you performing? Our ancestors ate the manna in the wilderness; as it is written, `He gave them bread from heaven to eat.'" Then Jesus said to them, "Very truly, I tell you, it was not Moses who gave you the bread from heaven, but it is my Father who gives you the true bread from heaven. For the bread of God is that which comes down from heaven and gives life to the world." They said to him, "Sir, give us this bread always." Jesus said to 7

8 them, "I am the bread of life. Whoever comes to me will never be hungry, and whoever believes in me will never be thirsty." Deacon The Gospel of the Lord. Vzzzzzzzzzzzzzz6vvvvzzzdrvccYvxx/ People Praise to you, Lord Christ. Homily Father Bates Nicene Creed Inside back cover of Hymnal Prayers of the People Form IV Let us pray for the Church and for the world. Grant, Almighty God, that all who confess your Name may be united in your truth, live together in your love, and reveal your glory in the world. Here VzzzzyvrvyvtzvRv/vvrvztvzzzYvzzz/ and after each petition is sung Lord, in your mer-cy, Hear our prayer. Guide the people of this land, and of all the nations, in the ways of justice and peace; that we may honor one another and serve the common good. Give us all a reverence for the earth as your own creation, that we may use its resources rightly in the service of others and to your honor and glory. Bless all whose lives are closely linked with ours, and grant that we may serve Christ in them, and love one another as he loves us. Comfort and heal all those who suffer in body, mind, or spirit; give them cou rage and hope in their troubles, and bring them the joy of your salvation. We commend to your mercy all who have died, that your will for them may be fulfilled; and we pray that we may share with all your saints in your eternal kingdom. The Celebrant adds a concluding Collect. 8

9 Confession of Sin Celebrant Let us confess our sins against God and our neighbor. Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen. The Celebrant says Almighty God have mercy on you, forgive you all your sins through our Lord Jesus Christ, strengthen you in all goodness, and by the power of the Holy Spirit keep you in eternal life. Amen. The Peace Celebrant People The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you. T H E LITURGY O F T H E E U C H A R I S T At the end of the Eucharistic prayer all people are welcome to the High Altar. If for any reason one does not wish to receive Communion or is not baptized, he or she is most welcome to receive a blessing (indicated by crossing both arms over one s chest). The ministers will bring the Sacrament to those who tell an usher that they cannot easily climb the steps. Offertory Antiphon Precatus est Mode 8 Precatus est Moyses in conspectu Moses appeared before the Lord God, and Domini Dei sui, et dixit: Quare, said: Why, Lord, does your wrath burn hot Domine, irasceris in populo tuo? against your people? Turn from your wrath Parce irae animae tuae: memento and indignation: remember Abraham, Isaac Abraham, Isaac et Jacob, quibus jurasti dare terram fluentem lac et and Jacob, to whom you swore that you mel. Et placatus factus est would give a land flowing with milk and Dominus de malignitate, quam honey. And the Lord was greatly moved, dixit facere populo suo. and repented of the evil which he had thought to do to his people. (Psalm 30) Hymn 309 9

We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to MuvyuvyvYv/vxxuvucyz7zKicuvuzvuvzzyuvzzzzyvzxYTvzzzzzz/ the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise. It is truly right to glorify you, Father, and to give you thanks; for you alone are God, living and true, dwelling in light inaccessible from before time and for ever. Fountain of life and source of all goodness, you made all things and fill them with your blessing; you created them to rejoice in the splendor of your radiance. Countless throngs of angels stand before you to serve you night and day, and beholding the glory of your presence, they offer you unceasing praise. Joining with them, and giving voice to every creature under heaven, we acclaim you and glorify your Name as we sing, -v`*vvvyvvvvrvv]vvvevvvvwvvvv]vvyvvvvšvvvv]vvvvyvvvv]vvvvvovvvvvvvivv]vvvvjvvvvvvvvvhvvvvvvvvvyvvvvv] Ho-ly, ho-ly, ho-ly Lord, God of pow r and might, -v`*vvhvvvvvvvvvjvvvvvvvvhvvvvvvvgvvvvv]vvvvfµvvvdvvvvvvfvvvvvvvhvvvv]vvvhºvv%vgvvvvvy,vc vvvvvhvvv] heav n and earth are full of your glo- ry.

The Celebrant continues We acclaim you holy Lord, glorious in power. Your mighty works reveal your wisdom and love. You formed us in your own image, giving the whole world into 10

11 our care, so that, in obedience to you, our Creator, we might rule and serve all your creatures. When our disobedience took us far from you, you did not abandon us to the power of death. In your mercy you came to your help, so that in seeking you we might find you. Again and again you called us into covenant with you, and through the prophets you taught us to hope for salvation. Father, you loved the world so much that in the fullness of time you sent your only son to be our Savior. Incarnate by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, he lived as one of us, yet without sin. To the poor he proclaimed the good news of salvation; to prisoners, freedom; to the sorrowful, joy. To fulfill your purpose he gave himself up to death; and, rising from the grave, destroyed death, and made the whole creation new. And, that we might live no longer for ourselves, but for him who died and rose for us, he sent the Holy Spirit, his own first gift for those who believe, to complete his work in the world, and to bring to fulfillment the sanctification of all. When the hour had come for him to be glorified by you, his heavenly Father, having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end; at supper with them he took bread, and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, Take, eat: This is my Body which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me. Father, we now celebrate this memorial of our redemption. Recalling Christ s death and his descent among the dead, proclaiming his resurrection and ascension to you right hand, awaiting his coming in glory; and offering to you, from the gifts you have give us, this bread and this cup, we praise you and we bless you. BcrvzzyuvzzUv,vuyczuz8zovIUv,vzyvzuivcivxzuyvYvx,x We praise you, we bless you, we give thanks to you, BcrvxyvzzuvyvuivxxyvxxyvxzRvc/ and we pray to you, Lord our God. Lord, we pray that in your goodness and mercy your Holy Spirit may descend upon us, and upon these gifts, sanctifying them and showing them to be holy gifts for your holy people, the bread of life and the cup of salvation, the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Grant that all who share this bread and cup may become one body and one spirit, a living sacrifice in Christ, to the praise of your Name. Remember, Lord, your one, holy, catholic, and apostolic Church, redeemed by the 11

12 blood of your Christ. Reveal its unity, guard its faith, and preserve it in peace. Remember all who minister in your Church. Remember all your people, and those who seek your truth. Remember all who have died in the peace of Christ, and those whose faith is known to you alone; bring them into the place of eternal joy and light. And grant that we may find our inheritance with the Blessed Virgin Mary, with patriarchs, prophets, apostles, and martyrs, and all the saints who have found favor with you in ages past. We praise you in union with them and give you glory through your Son Jesus Christ Our Lord. Through Christ, and with Christ, and in Christ, all honor and glory are yours, Almighty God and Father, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, for ever and ever. A M E N.
