The Word of God

First Lesson seated Joseph Hakim, Churchwarden Acts 1:1-11

Following the reading

Lector The Word of the Lord.People Thanks be to God.

Psalm 47 Remain seated. Sung by the choir. Thomas Tertius Noble (1867-1953)

Clap your hands, all you peoples; *

shout to God with a cry of joy.

For the LORD Most High is to be feared; *

he is the great King over all the earth.

He subdues the peoples under us, *

and the nations under our feet.

He chooses our inheritance for us, *

the pride of Jacob whom he loves.

God has gone up with a shout, *

the LORD with the sound of the ram’s-horn.

Sing praises to God, sing praises; *

sing praises to our King, sing praises.

For God is King of all the earth; *

sing praises with all your skill.

God reigns over the nations; *

God sits upon his holy throne.

The nobles of the peoples have gathered together *

with the people of the God of Abraham.

The rulers of the earth belong to God, *

and he is highly exalted.

Nicene Creed standingWe believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

God Has Gone Up Gerald Finzi (1901-1956)

God is gone up with a triumphant shout; the Lord with sounding trumpets’ melodies; sing praise, sing praises out, unto

our king sing praise seraphic wise! Lift up your heads, ye lasting doors, they sing, and let the king of glory enter in. Me

thinks I see heaven’s sparkling courtiers fly, in flakes of glory down him to attend, and hear heart-cramping notes of

melody surround his chariot as it did ascend; mixing their music, making every string more to enravish as they this tune

sing. God is gone up with a triumphant shout; the Lord with sounding trumpets’ melodies; sing praise, sing praises out

unto our king sing praise seraphic wise! Lift up your heads, ye lasting doors, they sing, and let the king of glory enter in.

The Holy CommunionIn the Holy Communion we experience the Real Presence of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ and all adults

and children who desire to receive Him are encouraged to come forward.
