READING 1 Corinthians Chapter 13 Anna Jones, Chief Executive, Hearst UK Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; and though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, READING The WInd In The WIlloWs chris llewellyn, PresIdenT, FIPP amazing Grace (Trad. arr. Langston) ADDRESS mike soutar, chairman, shortlist media VoIr sur Ton chemin (Coulais/Barratier) Doth not behave itself unseemly, seeketh not her own, is not easily provoked, thinketh no evil; Rejoiceth not in iniquity, but rejoiceth in the truth; Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For we know in part, and we prophesy in part. But when that which is perfect is come, then that which is in part shall be done away. When I was a child, I spake as a child, I understood as a child, I thought as a child: but when I became a man, I put away childish things. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope, charity, these three; but the greatest of these is charity. IV V

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! 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. X While God is marching on. He is coming like the glory of the morning on the wave, He is Wisdom to the mighty, He is Succour to the brave, So the world shall be His footstool, and the soul of Time His slave, Tune: John Brown s Body by W Steffe 1830-1890 Words: J W Howe 1819-1910 BLESSING The rector ORGAN VOLUNTARY les champs-élysées (Wilshaw) XI
