SUNDAY 18TH SEPTEMBER 2016

EIGHTEENTH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

‘Then Jesus said to the disciples…’ The

parables Jesus told, and that are record-

ed in the Gospels, were specific to his

hearers, their background and lifestyle.

So it is sometimes difficult for Western,

English-speaking 21st century readers

to untangle them. Interestingly, this

parable here is given different headings

by different translators and commenta-

tors: ‘the dishonest steward’, ‘the unjust

steward’, ‘the unrighteous steward’,

more recently ‘dishonest manager’ and

finally ‘the shrewd manager’. He is the

central character in the story – an anti-

hero. The parable story is followed by

several ‘sayings’ commenting on the

story – trying to make sense of this

character. Perhaps the moral of the

parable, as viewed in our modern com-

mercial world, is that those ‘of the

world’ – operating in their environment

– are farsighted – hence shrewd, pru-

dent, looking to survival. The ‘children

of light’, those concerned with ‘spiritual’

matters should be ready in their rela-

tionships to promote ‘heavenly’ things.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns September 18th 2016

Gradual Hymn

Jesus, where’er your people meet

There they behold your mercy seat,

Where’er they seek you, you are found

And every place is hallowed ground.

For you, within no walls confined,

Are present in the humble mind;

Such ever bring you where they come,

And, going, take you to their home.

Dear Shepherd of your chosen few,

Your former mercies here renew;

Here to our waiting hearts proclaim

The sweetness of your saving name.

Here may we prove the power of prayer

To strengthen faith and sweeten care,

To teach our faint desires to rise,

And bring all heaven before our eyes.

William Cowper (1731-1800) alt.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns September 18th 2016

Offertory Hymn

Father, Lord of all creation,

Ground of being, life and love;

Height and depth beyond description

Only life in you can prove:

You are mortal life’s dependence:

Thought, speech, sight are ours by grace;

Yours is every hour’s existence,

Sovereign Lord of time and space.

Jesus Christ, the Man for Others,

We, your people, make our prayer:

Let us love as sisters, brothers,

All whose burdens we can share.

Where your name binds us together

You, Lord Christ, will surely be;

Where no selfishness can sever

There your love we all may see.

Holy Spirit, rushing, burning,

Wind and flame of Pentecost,

Fill our hearts afresh with yearning

To regain what we have lost.

May your love unite our action,

Nevermore to speak alone:

God, in us abolish faction,

And through us your love make known.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns September 18th 2016

Final Hymn

Forth in your name, O Lord, I go,

My daily labour to pursue,

You, Lord, alone resolved to know,

In all I think, or speak, or do.

Each task your wisdom has assigned

Still let me cheerfully fulfil,

In all my works your presence find,

And prove your good and perfect will.

You may I set at my right hand,

Whose eyes my inmost substance view,

And labour on at your command,

And offer all my works to you.

For you delightfully employ

All that your bounteous grace has given,

And run my course with even joy,

And closely walk with you to heaven.

Charles Wesley (1707-1788) alt.

1. O God, the heathen have come | into . your | land: They have defiled your holy temple,

they have made Je- | rusalem . a | heap of | stones.

2. They have given the dead bodies of your servants as food to the | birds . of the | air:

And the flesh of your faithful ones to the | wild beasts | of the | earth.

3. Their blood they have spilt like water on every | side of . Je- | rusalem: And | there is | none to | bury them.

4. We have become a mockery | to our | neighbours: The scorn and | laughing-stock . of | those a- | bout us. REFRAIN

5. How long, O Lord, shall your anger be | so ex- | treme: Will your jealous | fury | burn like | fire?

6. Pour out your wrath on the nations that | do not | know you: On the kingdoms that have not | called up- | on your | name:

7. For they have de- | voured | Jacob: And made his dwelling- | place a | deso- | lation.

8. Do not remember us against the sin of | former | times: But let your compassion hasten to meet us,

for we are | brought | very | low.

†9. Help us, O God our saviour, for the honour | of your | name:

O deliver us and expiate our sins, | for your | name’s | sake. REFRAIN
