Tune: CHARTRES CP 69 Saw you never, in the twilight, when the sun had left the skies, Up in heaven the clear stars shining through the gloom, like silver eyes? So of old the wise men, watching, saw a little stranger star, And they knew the King was given, and they followed it from afar. Heard you never of the story how they crossed the desert wild, Journeyed on by plain and mountain, til they found the holy child? How they opened all their treasure, kneeling to that infant King; Gave the gold and fragrant incense, gave the myrrh in offering? Know ye not that lowly Baby was the bright and morning Star? He Who came to light the Gentiles, and the darkened isles afar? And we, too, may seek His cradle; there our hearts best treasures bring; Love, and faith, and true devotion for our Saviour, God and King.

A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH Arise, shine; for your light has come, and the glory of the Lord has risen upon you. For darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples; but the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you. Nations shall come to your light, and kings to the brightness of your dawn. Lift up your eyes and look around; they all gather together, they come to you; your sons shall come from far away, and your daughters shall be carried on their nurses' arms. Then you shall see and be radiant; your heart shall thrill and rejoice, because the abundance of the sea shall be brought to you, the wealth of the nations shall come to you. A multitude of camels shall cover you, the young camels of Midian and Ephah; all those from Sheba shall come. They shall bring gold and frankincense, and shall proclaim the praise of the Lord. ISAIAH 60:1-6 PSALM REFRAIN All nations shall serve him. Give the king your justice, O God, and your righteousness to the king's son; That he may rule your people righteously and the poor with justice; That the mountains may bring prosperity to the people, and the little hills bring righteousness. R He shall defend the needy among the people; he shall rescue the poor and crush the oppressor. He shall live as long as the sun and moon endure, from one generation to another. He shall come down like rain upon the mown field, like showers that water the earth. In his time JANUARY 5, 2014 7
shall the righteous flourish; there shall be abundance of peace till the moon shall be no more. R The kings of Tarshish and of the isles shall pay tribute, and the kings of Arabia and Saba offer gifts. All kings shall bow down before him, and all the nations do him service. For he shall deliver the poor who cries out in distress, and the oppressed who has no helper. R He shall have pity on the lowly and poor; he shall preserve the lives of the needy. He shall redeem their lives from oppression and violence, and dear shall their blood be in his sight. R PSALM 72:1-7, 10-14 A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE EPHESIANS This is the reason that I Paul am a prisoner for Christ Jesus for the sake of you Gentiles - for surely you have already heard of the commission of God's grace that was given me for you, and how the mystery was made known to me by revelation, as I wrote above in a few words, a reading of which will enable you to perceive my understanding of the mystery of Christ. In former generations this mystery was not made known to humankind, as it has now been revealed to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that is, the Gentiles have become fellow heirs, members of the same body, and sharers in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel. Of this gospel I have become a servant according to the gift of God's grace that was given me by the working of his power. Although I am the very least of all the saints, this grace was given to me to bring to the Gentiles the news of the boundless riches of Christ, and to make everyone see what is the plan of the mystery hidden for ages in God who created all things; so that through the church the wisdom of God in its rich variety might now be made known to the rulers and authorities in the heavenly places. This was in accordance with the eternal purpose that he has carried out in Christ Jesus our Lord, in whom we have access JANUARY 5, 2014 8
to God in boldness and confidence through faith in him. EPHESIANS 3:1-12 THE HOLY GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST AC- CORDING TO MATTHEW In the time of King Herod, after Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, wise men from the East came to Jerusalem, asking, "Where is the child who has been born king of the Jews? For we observed his star at its rising, and have come to pay him homage." When King Herod heard this, he was frightened, and all Jerusalem with him; and calling together all the chief priests and scribes of the people, he inquired of them where the Messiah was to be born. They told him, "In Bethlehem of Judea; for so it has been written by the prophet: 'And you, Bethlehem, in the land of Judah, are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; for from you shall come a ruler who is to shepherd my people Israel. '" Then Herod secretly called for the wise men and learned from them the exact time when the star had appeared. Then he sent them to Bethlehem, saying, "Go and search diligently for the child; and when you have found him, bring me word so that I may also go and pay him homage." When they had heard the king, they set out; and there, ahead of them, went the star that they had seen at its rising, until it stopped over the place where the child was. When they saw that the star had stopped, they were overwhelmed with joy. On entering the house, they saw the child with Mary his mother; and they knelt down and paid him homage. Then, opening their treasure chests, they offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh. And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they left for their own country by another road. MATTHEW 2:1-12 JANUARY 5, 2014 9
This Morning s Music Today s mass setting is by our own Alexander Tilley. The Missa Nova in C was written especially for this Cathedral. Alec served for many years as a music teacher at Queen Elizabeth High School and as the choir director at St. Andrew s United Church. He is currently working on a production entitled Out of Lunenburg which will open the new auditorium of Citadel High School later this spring. Todd Marchand s setting of a collect from the BCP asks for God s guidance in all our endeavours an especially appropriate prayer as we enter the New Year. Marchand is an Episcopal deacon and attends the Church of the Holy Angels in Fort Worth. Christus is an unfinished oratorio by Felix Mendelssohn, published posthumously as Op. 97. The work was suggested by Christian Karl Josias von Bunsen, who compiled the German libretto from biblical sources. Composition began in 1846 and continued through Mendelssohn s last year. The first performance took place in 1852. Fr. Liam Lawton is an award winning multi platinum, Irish, singer-songwriter and Roman Catholic priest. He was ordained in 1984 and was based in a parish in Carlow. Discovered in 2004 by record giants EMI who signed him for a number of albums. His EMI début, Another World, was released in Ireland later that year. This album achieved double platinum status and was followed by his second album Time which also was hugely successful. Lawton s music has been recognized for its unique quality. His poetic lyrics are inspired by many sources including the ancient texts of Celtic Ireland. Much of his inspiration is drawn from the landscape of Ireland with its own dark and rich history. His choral music is sung by choirs all over the English-speaking world and has been translated into Spanish, German and Swedish. JANUARY 5, 2014 10

Pray for South Sudan The following is an appeal from Archbishop Fred Hiltz, Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada: At the request of the Primate of South Sudan and Sudan, Archbishop Daniel Dang Bul Yak, I am issuing this urgent call for prayer for South Sudan. Tragically this new nation, formed in 2011, is suffering through horrific in-fighting that is leaving hundreds dead and forcing thousands, 180,000 to date, to flee the violence. There is a glimmer of hope in the peace talks scheduled in Addis Ababa in Ethiopia. Pray for those on both sides of the uprising between the supporters of the President, Salva Kiir and the former Deputy, Riek Machan, that they lay down their weapons and come to the table. Pray for the ministry of the mediator, Seyoum Mesfin. Pray for all affected by this fighting and especially those living in refugee camps where conditions are rapidly deteriorating due to overcrowding. Pray for all working to bring them emergency aid and relief. May our prayers and those of so many others around the world rise to the throne of God's compassion, justice, and peace and then fall like a still dew of quietness on a land so troubled and a people hurting so deeply. The Most Reverend Fred Hiltz Primate of the Anglican Church of Canada JANUARY 5, 2014 14
Diocese names first recipients of new Order The Order of the Diocese of Toronto, created to honour laypeople who make outstanding contributions to the diocese, was awarded for the first time on New Years' Day at St. James' Cathedral in Toronto. A list of 48 recipients-nominated by their parishes or Archbishop Colin Johnson-was published on the Diocese of Toronto website just before Christmas. Those named to the Order were honoured before a full house at the cathedral during the New Year's choral evensong, receiving a medallion and a pin from the archbishop. Among the first recipients of the Order were Chris Ambidge (involved in leadership of Integrity Canada), members of General Synod Libby Salter and Peter Tavell, Elizabeth Loweth (active in leadership of the International Anglican Women's Network), Dorothy Peers, and General Synod's coordinator of Together in Mission Suzanne Lawson. Peers, wife of former primate Archbishop Michael Peers, was honoured for her contributions to the diocese since moving here with her husband, including assisting parishes with development of better governance structures and growth strategies. "She's been very active as a volunteer and it's nice to see her recognised recognized for that incredible contribution," said Lawson. Lawson herself was taken by surprise when she heard she was going to receive the award. While participating in the service, she felt a little overwhelmed by the breadth of talent and hard work being publicly appreciated. "When you heard the citations for other people, you realised realized what wonderful contributions and gifts they had brought to the church that they love," Lawson said. "Bishop Colin spoke about us not being super heroes, but ordinary people. You have that awful feeling of Oh my goodness, if I get a medal I'm going to have to act differently. Don't they know I'm not perfect?' But really, he was disarming...honouring, but disarming." Along with having their contributions to the diocese shared with the congregation at the service, each honoree will receive a written citation, and have a record of their award kept at the diocesan office.
