Opening Hymn*
1. O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness;
bow down before him, his glory proclaim; with gold of obedience, and incense of lowliness,
kneel and adore him: the Lord is his name.
2. Low at his feet lay thy burden of carefulness: high on his heart he will bear it for thee,
comfort thy sorrows, and answer thy prayerfulness, guiding thy steps as may best for thee be.
3. Fear not to enter his courts in the slenderness of the poor wealth thou wouldst reckon as thine: truth in its beauty, and love in its tenderness,
these are the offerings to lay on his shrine.
4. These, though we bring them in trembling and fearfulness,
he will accept for the name that is dear; mornings of joy give for evenings of tearfulness,
trust for our trembling and hope for our fear.
(Verse 1 is repeated)
Words: John Samuel Bewley Monsell (1811-1875) Music: Was Lebet, Melody from Rheinhardt MS 1754 (A&M - 103)
Collect Let your merciful ears, O Lord, be open to the prayers of your humble servants;
and that they may obtain their petitions make them to ask such things as shall please you;
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 – Ecclesiastes 1.2,12-14; 2.18-23
Vanity of vanities, says the Teacher, vanity of vanities! All is vanity. I, the Teacher, when king over Israel in Jerusalem, applied my mind to seek and to search out by wisdom all
that is done under heaven; it is an unhappy business that God has given to human beings to be busy with. I saw all the deeds that are done under the sun; and see, all is
vanity and a chasing after wind. I hated all my toil in which I had toiled under the sun, seeing that I must leave it to those who come after me – and who knows whether they
will be wise or foolish? Yet they will be master of all for which I toiled and used my wisdom under the sun. This also is vanity. So I turned and gave my heart up to despair
concerning all the toil of my labours under the sun, because sometimes one who has toiled with wisdom and knowledge and skill must leave all to be enjoyed by another
who did not toil for it. This also is vanity and a great evil. What do mortals get from all the toil and strain with which they toil under the sun? For all their days are full of pain,
and their work is a vexation; even at night their minds do not rest. This also is vanity.
Second Reading – Colossians 3.1-11*
If you have been raised with Christ, seek the things that are above, where Christ is, seated at the right hand of God. Set your minds on things that are above, not on things
that are on earth, for you have died, and your life is hidden with Christ in God. When Christ who is your life is revealed, then you also will be revealed with him in glory. Put to death, therefore, whatever in you is earthly: fornication, impurity, passion, evil
desire, and greed (which is idolatry). On account of these the wrath of God is coming on those who are disobedient. These are the ways you also once followed, when you
were living that life. But now you must get rid of all such things – anger, wrath, malice, slander, and abusive language from your mouth. Do not lie to one another, seeing that
you have stripped off the old self with its practices and have clothed yourselves with the new self, which is being renewed in knowledge according to the image of its
creator. In that renewal there is no longer Greek and Jew, circumcised and uncircumcised, barbarian, Scythian, slave and free; but Christ is all and in all!
Gradual Hymn*
1. Take my life, and let it be consecrated, Lord, to thee;
take my moments and my days, let them flow in ceaseless praise.
2. Take my hands, and let them move at the impulse of thy love;
take my feet, and let them be swift and beautiful for thee.
5
3. Take my voice, and let me sing
always, only, for my King; take my lips, and let them be
filled with messages from thee.
4. Take my silver and my gold, not a mite would I withhold;
take my intellect, and use every power as thou shalt choose.
5. Take my will and make it thine:
it shall be no longer mine; take my heart, it is thine own;
it shall be thy royal throne.
6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour at thy feet its treasure-store;
take myself, and I will be ever, only, all for thee.
Someone in the crowd said to Jesus, ‘Teacher, tell my brother to divide the family
inheritance with me.’ But he said to him, ‘Friend, who set me to be a judge or arbitrator over you?’ And he said to the crowd, ‘Take care! Be on your guard against all kinds of
greed; for one's life does not consist in the abundance of possessions.’ Then he told them a parable: ‘The land of a rich man produced abundantly. And he thought to himself,
“What should I do, for I have no place to store my crops?” Then he said, “I will do this: I will pull down my barns and build larger ones, and there I will store all my grain and my
goods. And I will say to my soul, ‘Soul, you have ample goods laid up for many years; relax, eat, drink, be merry.‘” But God said to him, “You fool! This very night your life is being demanded of you. And the things you have prepared, whose will they be?” So it is
with those who store up treasures for themselves but are not rich towards God.’
Offertory Hymn*
1. Blessèd assurance, Jesus is mine:
O what a foretaste of glory divine! Heir of salvation, purchase of God;
born of his Spirit, washed in his blood:
This is my story, this is my song, praising my Saviour all the day long.
2. Perfect submission, perfect delight,
visions of rapture burst on my sight; angels descending bring from above
echoes of mercy, whispers of love:
3. Perfect submission, all is at rest, I in my Saviour am happy and blest –
watching and waiting, looking above, filled with his goodness, lost in his love:
Words: Fanny Crosby (Frances Jane van Alstyne) (1820-1915) Music: Blessed Assurance, Phoebe Palmer Knapp (1839-1908) (Ancient & Modern – 601)

Communion Anthem*
Lord of wisdom, Lord of truth, Lord of justice, Lord of mercy;
walk beside us down the years till we see you in your glory.
Striving to attain the heights,
turning in a new direction, entering a lonely place,
welcoming a friend or stranger.
I am here, I am with you. I have called: do you hear me?
I am here, I am with you.
Silver is of passing worth, gold is not of constant value,
jewels sparkle for a while; what you long for is not lasting.
Rulers govern under me
with my insights and my wisdom. Those who know me know my love;
those who seek me find their love.
God the Father and the Son, Holy Spirit coeternal.
Glory, glory be ascribed to you, now and to the end of ages.
Words: based on Proverbs 8, Michael Hampel
Music: Will Todd (b 1970)
Communion Hymn*
1. Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
and with fear and trembling stand; ponder nothing earthly-minded,
for with blessing in His hand, Christ our God to earth descendeth,
our full homage to demand.
2. King of kings, yet born of Mary, as of old on earth he stood,
Lord of lords, in human vesture – in the body and the blood –
he will give to all the faithful his own self for heavenly food.
3. Rank on rank the host of heaven
spreads its vanguard on the way, as the Light of light descendeth
from the realms of endless day, that the powers of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.
4. At his feet the six-winged seraph; cherubim with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence, as with ceaseless voice they cry:
Alleluia, alleluia alleluia, Lord most high.
Words: Cherubic Hymn from the Liturgy of St James, versified by Gerard Moultrie (1829-1885)
based on the translation of J M Neale & R F Littledale Music: Picardy, French carol melody in Chansons Populaires Vol 4, Paris 1860,
harm Ralph Vaughan Williams (1872-1958) (Ancient & Modern – 452)

Post Communion Prayer
God of our pilgrimage, you have willed that the gate of mercy
should stand open for those who trust in you: look upon us with your favour
that we who follow the path of your will may never wander from the way of life;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Final Hymn*
1. God, we praise you, God, we bless you! God, we name you sovereign Lord!
Mighty King whom angels worship, Father, by your Church adored:
all creation shows your glory, heaven and earth draw near your throne,
singing, ‘Holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts, and God alone!’
2. True apostles, faithful prophets,
saints who set their world ablaze, martyrs, once unknown, unheeded,
join one growing song of praise, while your Church on earth confesses
one majestic Trinity: Father, Son and Holy Spirit,
God, our hope eternally.
3. Jesus Christ, the King of glory, everlasting Son of God,
humble was your virgin mother, hard the lonely path you trod.
By your cross is sin defeated, hell confronted face to face,
heaven opened to believers, sinners justified by grace.
4. Christ, at God’s right hand victorious,
you will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants
for whose freedom you have paid. Raise us up from dust to glory,
guard us from all sin today; King enthroned above all praises,
save your people, God, we pray!
