PROCESSIONAL HYMN (Insert A) Sing how the age-long promise of a Saviour Spoken through lips of prophets by the Spirit, In blessed Mary, Mother of the Christ-child, Finds its fulfilment. Virgin most pure, and wondrously conceiving, Bearing incarnate God in awed obedience, Now she presents him for a spotless offering Unto his Father. In God s high temple, Simeon the righteous Takes to his loving arms with holy rapture That One for whom his longing eyes had waited, Jesus, Messiah. Where now his Mother next her Son is seated, In those fair mansions of the heavenly kingdom, May Christ our Saviour grant to us his servants Life everlasting. Father eternal, Son, and Holy Spirit, Trinity blessed, Maker and Redeemer, Giver of life, and Author of salvation, Thine be the glory. Amen. EDITORS, based on the Latin c 9th Century
POST COMMUNION HYMN When one of us was called to bear God s own child, she said Yes, and all the world still honours her courage and faithfulness. When one of us was touched and healed by Jesus, she said Yes to following the one who gave the gift of holiness. When one of us poured perfume out for Jesus, she said Yes, with love, to God s anointed one, the Christ whom we confess. When one of us can shine and grow and flourish, she says Yes to God s abundance filling her to strengthen and to bless. Thank God for each and every one whose life proclaims a Yes to hope and love and justice done: God s Good News, nothing less. (Insert B) Words: Elizabeth J. Smith Suggested music: Capel (AHB 337)
