Service of WorshipAll Saints Sunday November 3, 2013

Eleven o’clock in the morning

Today we celebrate All Saints Day, which is a time for the Church to remember all those saints, known and unknown, who have gone before us and have faithfully walked the Christian path. The mood of this service is one of celebration and joy for all those people who have borne fruit for the kingdom by their service to Christ. Today we welcome new members into the communion of saints through the sacrament of baptism. We will also share in the sacrament of communion, remembering our mysterious connection with Christian saints, past and present.

“The Mystical Supper,” icon by Simon Ushakov, 1685.

The congregation is asked to remain silent during the prelude as a time of prayer and meditation.

offertory anthem Magnificat David A. Arcus (b.1959)

My soul doth magnify the Lord, and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded the lowliness of his handmaiden. For, behold, from henceforth all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me, and holy is his name. And his mercy is on them that fear him throughout all generations. He hath shown strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed forever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world without end. Amen. —Luke 1:46-55 and Gloria Patri

*doxology lasst uns erfreuen Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia, Alleluia! Praise God above, ye heavenly host, Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost. Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia, Alleluia.

Celebrant: Lift up your hearts and raise them to the Lord, and render thanks to God, the Lord of all. With saints and angel hosts we join in song:

All: Alleluia! Alleluia!

Celebrant: You gave yourself, O God, to dwell on earth as Word made flesh and prophecy fulfilled; the saints gave their lives as witness to your grace.

All: Alleluia! Alleluia!

Celebrant: Lord Jesus Christ, the night he was betrayed, with bread and cup, to his disciples said, “This is my blood and body given for you.”

All: Alleluia! Alleluia!

Celebrant: Accept our sacrifice of thanks and praise, as we recall Christ’s passion and his death, who rose victorious and will come again.

All: Alleluia! Alleluia!

Celebrant: May bread and wine become Christ’s flesh and blood; may we unite with him and all the world, and bring us to feast with all the saints in heaven.

All: Alleluia! Alleluia!

a note about today’s Choir anthems

Chapel Organist David Arcus composed the Magnificat and Nunc dimittis settings sung this morning by the Chapel Choir to the glory of God and in honor of Sam and Jo Bailey Wells’ faithful service and inspired leadership during their years at Duke. The Magnificat (Song of Mary) and Nunc dimittis (Song of Simeon) are the two canticles from Evensong, a late afternoon/early evening service in the Anglican Church tradition. Today’s canticles are paired to be sung in the same service, as is generally the custom.
