Opening Hymn*
1. The gracious invitation stands for any who will come;
the Father runs with open arms to children heading home
and all who trudge with weary feet along life's dusty road
receive at last a welcome chance to lose their heavy load.
2. No longer need we clothe our lives
in garments soiled and torn when Christ gives robes of righteousness
for what was old and worn: to those bereft of dignity
and yearning to be whole, forgiveness brings the healing pow'r which liberates the soul.
3. When all that busy lives produce is dry futility,
we find in Christ the living source of full reality;
and if, within our hearts, the truth is what we long to hear,
the whisper of the Spirit comes as music to the ear.
4. Whoever looks for nourishment
will find the table spread: the finest riches heaven holds,
foretold in wine and bread. The banquet is for ev'ryone,
the greatest and the least: for all are called as honoured guests to come and join the feast!
Words: Martin E Leckebusch (b 1962) Music: Kingsfold, Traditional English Melody, arr Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958)
(Anglican Hymns Old & New – 709)
Gloria
1. Glory be to God in heaven,
and to all on earth, his peace;
Lord and Father, King in glory,
gifts of praise in us release,
so our worship and thanksgiving
from our hearts will never cease.
2. Christ incarnate, sent by Father
to redeem, renew, restore;
risen Lamb, in glory seated,
hear our prayers, Lord, we implore.
Now to Father, Son and Spirit
be all glory evermore.
Words: John Richards (1843-1901) Music: Regent Square, Henry Thomas Smart (1813-1879)

Collect
Lord of all power and might, the author and giver of all good things:
graft in our hearts the love of your name, increase in us true religion,
nourish us with all goodness, and of your great mercy keep us in the same;
through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.
First Reading – Isaiah 55.1-5
The LORD says this: Everyone who thirsts, come to the waters; and you that have
no money, come, buy and eat! Come, buy wine and milk without money and without price. Why do you spend your money for that which is not bread, and your labour
for that which does not satisfy? Listen carefully to me, and eat what is good, and delight yourselves in rich food. Incline your ear, and come to me; listen, so that you
may live. I will make with you an everlasting covenant, my steadfast, sure love for David. See, I made him a witness to the peoples, a leader and commander for the peoples. See, you shall call nations that you do not know, and nations that do not
know you shall run to you, because of the LORD your God, the Holy One of Israel, for he has glorified you.
Second Reading – Romans 9.1-5
I am speaking the truth in Christ – I am not lying; my conscience confirms it by the
Holy Spirit –I have great sorrow and unceasing anguish in my heart. For I could wish that I myself were accursed and cut off from Christ for the sake of my own people,
my kindred according to the flesh. They are Israelites, and to them belong the adoption, the glory, the covenants, the giving of the law, the worship, and the
promises; to them belong the patriarchs, and from them, according to the flesh, comes the Messiah, who is over all, God blessed for ever. Amen.
Gradual Hymn*
1. O God, unseen yet ever near,
thy presence may we feel; and, thus inspired with holy fear,
before thine altar kneel.
2. Here may thy faithful people know
the blessings of thy love, the streams that through the desert flow,
the manna from above.

3. We come, obedient to thy word,
to feast on heav'nly food; our meat the body of the Lord,
our drink his precious blood.
4. Thus may we all thy word obey,
for we, O God, are thine; and go rejoicing on our way,
renewed with strength divine.
Words: Edward Osler (1798-1863) Music: St Flavian, from Day’s Psalter 1562 (Anglican Hymns Old & New – 548)
Gospel – Matthew 14.13-21
When Jesus heard that Herod had beheaded John the Baptist, he withdrew in a boat to a deserted place by himself. But when the crowds heard it, they followed him on
foot from the towns. When he went ashore, he saw a great crowd; and he had compassion for them and cured their sick. When it was evening, the disciples came
to him and said, ‘This is a deserted place, and the hour is now late; send the crowds away so that they may go into the villages and buy food for themselves.’ Jesus said to
them, ‘They need not go away; you give them something to eat.’ They replied, ‘We have nothing here but five loaves and two fish.’ And he said, ‘Bring them here to me.’ Then he ordered the crowds to sit down on the grass. Taking the five loaves and the
two fish, he looked up to heaven, and blessed and broke the loaves, and gave them to the disciples, and the disciples gave them to the crowds. And all ate and were
filled; and they took up what was left over of the broken pieces, twelve baskets full. And those who ate were about five thousand men, besides women and children.
Offertory Hymns*
1. Lord, today your voice is calling,
lifting thoughts to things above; life is wonderful, enthralling,
touched by your unfailing love. Suddenly I see the beauty
often hidden from my gaze, so I come, not out of duty,
but with glad and grateful praise.
2. Lord, I sometimes fail to value
all your blessing as I should. Slow to make the time to thank you,
blind to so much that is good. Days are lived in such a hurry
there's no time to stop and stare, joy is crushed by weight of worry,
happiness obscured by care.
3. Lord, today I come rejoicing, vowed to waste your gifts •no more;
bringing praise and gladly voicing what I should have voiced before.
Pouring out my adoration, scarcely knowing where to start,
with a song of exultation, Lord, I thank you from the heart.
Words: Nick Fawcett (b 1957) Music: Lux Eoi, Arthur Seymour Sullivan (1842-1900)
