The Lessons (please be seated) Reader: A reading from Revelation Revelation 7:9-17

After this I, John, looked, and there was a great multitude that no one couldcount, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages, standing

before the throne and before the Lamb, robed in white, with palm branches intheir hands. They cried out in a loud voice, saying, "Salvation belongs to our Godwho is seated on the throne, and to the Lamb!" And all the angels stood aroundthe throne and around the elders and the four living creatures, and they fell ontheir faces before the throne and worshiped God,singing, "Amen! Blessing andglory and wisdom and thanksgiving and honor and power and might be to ourGod forever and ever! Amen. "Then one of the elders addressed me, saying,"Who are these, robed in white, and where have they come from? "I said to him,"Sir, you are the one that knows. " Then he said to me, "These are they who havecome out of the great ordeal; they have washed their robes and made them white

in the blood of the Lamb. For this reason they are before the throne of God, and

worship him day and night within his temple, and the one who is seated on thethrone will shelter them. They will hunger no more, and thirst no more; the sunwill not strike them, nor any scorching heat; for the Lamb at the center of thethrone will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of the water oflife, and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes."

Reader: The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God. S415

Benedicam Dominum Psalm 34:1-10, 22

Cantor: I will bless the LORD at all times; *his praise shall ever be in my mouth.

I will glory in the LORD; *let the humble hear and rejoice.

All: Proclaim with me the greatness of the LORD; *let us exalt his Name together.

I sought the LORD, and he answered me *and delivered me out of all my terror.

Cantor: Look upon him and be radiant, *and let not your faces be ashamed.

I called in my affliction and the LORD heard me *and saved me from all my troubles.

All: The angel of the LORD encompasses those who fear him, *

and he will deliver them.Taste and see that the LORD is good; *

happy are they who trust in him!

Cantor: Fear the LORD, you that are his saints, *

for those who fear him lack nothing.

The young lions lack and suffer hunger, * but those who seek the LORD lack nothing that is good.

All: The LORD ransoms the life of his servants, *and none will be punished who trust in him.

Reader: A reading from 1 John 1 John 3:1-3

See what love the Father has given us, that we should be called children of God;and that is what we are. The reason the world does not know us is that it did notknow him. Beloved, we are God's children now; what we will be has not yet

been revealed. What we do know is this: when he is revealed, we will be likehim, for we will see him as he is. And all who have this hope in him purifythemselves, just as he is pure.

Reader: The Word of the Lord. All: Thanks be to God.

(please stand)GRADUAL HYMN For Thy Dear Saints, O Lord #279

Deacon: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew All: Glory to you, Lord Christ. Matthew 5:1-12

When Jesus saw the crowds, he went up the mountain; and after he sat down,

his disciples came to him. Then he began to speak, and taught them, saying:"Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs is the kingdom of heaven."Blessed are those who mourn, for they will be comforted."Blessed are the meek, for they will inherit the earth."Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for righteousness, for they will befilled."Blessed are the merciful, for they will receive mercy."Blessed are the pure in heart, for they will see God."Blessed are the peacemakers, for they will be called children of God."Blessed are those who are persecuted for righteousness' sake, for theirs is thekingdom of heaven.

"Blessed are you when people revile you and persecute you and utter all kindsof evil against you falsely on my account. Rejoice and be glad, for your rewardis great in heaven, for in the same way they persecuted the prophets who were

before you.

with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim theglory of your Name:

Sanctus

All: Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your glory.Hosanna in the highest.Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord.Hosanna in the highest.

(stand or kneel)Presider: Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and,

when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in yourmercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our humannature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father ofall.

He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience toyour will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.

On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christtook bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to hisdisciples, and said, "Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this


10/16

10

for the remembrance of me."

After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave itto 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 youdrink it, do this for the remembrance of me."

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: All: Christ has died.

Christ is risen.Christ will come again.

Presider: We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, weoffer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood ofyour Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify usalso that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity,constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the

joy of your eternal kingdom.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and inhim, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, AlmightyFather, now and for ever. Amen.

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

All: Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name,thy kingdom come, thy will be done,on earth as it is in heaven.Give us this day our daily bread.And forgive us our trespasses,as we forgive those who trespass against us.And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory,

for ever and ever. Amen.

MUSICAL NOTES

The text of the choir anthem at Offertory this morning is hymn 324. All four verses will besung in the Holst arrangement. You might note that the composer gives a brilliant and noblemusical statement to the final verse, where we hear a gradual crescendo of sound rising up to amighty climax, signifying the awe that the angels have in gradually comprehending the mystery


13/16

13

of the presence of God in the bread and wine of the Eucharist and the unfathomable joy infinally coming to this understanding.

The Latin phrase " sine nomine " means "without a name." Many composers have used this titlein various pieces of music.
