3 Choir Thou Knowest, Lord, The Secrets Of Our Hearts Purcell Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts; Shut not thy merciful ears unto our pray'rs; But spare us, Lord most holy, O God most mighty. O holy and most merciful Saviour, Thou most worthy Judge eternal, Suffer us not, at our last hour, For any pains of death, To fall from thee. Amen. Bidding Prayer The Rector Hymn He Who Would Valiant Be He who would valiant be Gainst all disaster, Let him in constancy Follow the Master. There s no discouragement Shall make him once relent His first avowed intent To be a pilgrim. Who so beset him round With dismal stories, Do but themselves confound His strength the more is. No foes shall stay his might, Though he with giants fight: He will make good his right To be a pilgrim.

4 Since, Lord, thou dost defend Us with thy Spirit, We know we at the end Shall life inherit. Then fancies flee away! I ll fear not what men say, I ll labour night and day To be a pilgrim. First Reading Revelation 21:1-7 Read by Noonie Minogue Choir What Is Our Life? Orlando Gibbons What is our life? The play of passion. Our mirth? The music of division: Our mothers wombs the tiring-houses be, Where we are dressed for life s short comedy. The earth the stage; Heaven the spectator is, Who sits and views whosoe er doth act amiss. The graves which hide us from the scorching sun Are like drawn curtains when the play is done. Thus playing post we to our latest rest, And then we die in earnest, not in jest. First Address John O'Sullivan Choir It Was A Lover And His Lass Vaughan Williams Second Reading Excerpt from the writings of Ken Minogue Read by Bea and Kat Addis

5 Hymn Jerusalem And did those feet in ancient time Walk upon England s mountains green? And was the holy Lamb of God On England s pleasant pastures seen? And did the countenance divine Shine forth upon our clouded hills? And was Jerusalem builded here Among those dark satanic mills? Bring me my bow of burning gold! Bring me my arrows of desire! Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold! Bring me my chariot of fire! I will not cease from mental fight, Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand, Till we have built Jerusalem In England s green and pleasant land. Third Reading My Country by Dorothea Mackellar read by Alice and Charlotte Minogue and Excerpt from The Four Quartets read by Ferdie Addis Second Address Nick Minogue Choir Kyrie from Requiem Duruflé Prayers The Rector

6 Hymn Mine Eyes Have Seen The Glory Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord: He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored; He hath loosed the fateful lightning of his terrible swift sword: His truth is marching on. His truth is marching on. He hath sounded forth the trumpet, that shall never call retreat; He is sifting out the hearts of men before His Judgement seat. O be swift, my soul, to answer Him; be jubilant my feet! Our God is marching on. Our God is marching on. In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born, across the sea, With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me; As he died to make men holy, let us live to make men free, While God is marching on. While God is marching on! He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave; He is the wisdom to the mighty, he is succour to the brave: So the world shall be his foot-stool, and the soul of time his slave: Our God is marching on! Our God is marching on!
