Music at the CathedralEstablished in 1822, Christ Church Cathedral is the oldest house of worship in Louisville. The Cathedral has and continues to uphold the highest standard for music and worship. While the great traditions of the church are at risk of being lost in our culture, the Cathedral desires to maintain our heritage of Anglican music and historical liturgies while always looking forward and being relevant in our world today. With this in mind, our worship reflects the contemplative nature of evening worship through Evensong to the joyous celebrations of the nativity and resurrection.

The Cathedral Choiris the resident choral ensemble at the Cathedral, singing all principal services. The choir also sings services for the Diocese of Kentucky, monthly Evensongs, and the annual Service of Lessons and Carols. A mixed choir of adults, the choir sings music from all eras, while focusing approximately fifty percent of their repertoire to music by American composers. The Cathedral Choir and Canon Bozeman have been featured on both local and national public radio programs numerous times. Recordings available by the Cathedral Choir include An American Evening: Music by American Composers and Lux Aeterna-Music spanning a thousand years with the common theme of light. You may purchase copies following evensong in the narthex or through the Cathedral website.

Join us for Eucharist each Sunday at 10:30 AM and visit the Cathedral’s website for additional service information.

O gracious Light,pure brightness of the everliving Father in heaven,O Jesus Christ, holy and blessed!Now as we come to the setting of the sun,and our eyes behold the vesper light,we sing your praises, O God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.You are worthy at all times to be praised by happy voices,O Son of God, O Giver of life,and to be glorified through all the worlds.

Collects

Anthem Close Now Thine Eyes Daniel E. Gawthrop

Close now thine eyes and rest secure,Thy soul is safe enough, thy body sure.He that loves thee, He that keeps and guards thee never slumbers never sleeps.The smiling conscience in a sleeping breast has only peace, has only rest.The music and the mirth of kings are all but very discords when she sings.Then close thine eyes, close thine eyes.Close now thine eyes and rest secure; no sleep so sweet as thine no rest so sure

A Prayer of Thanksgiving • said by all

Accept, O Lord, our thanks and praise for all that you have done for us. We thank you for the splendor of the whole creation, for the beauty of this world, for the wonder of life, and for the mystery of love.We thank you for the blessing of family and friends, and for the loving care which surrounds us on every side.We thank you for setting us at tasks which demand our best efforts, and for leading us to accomplishments which satisfy and delight us.We thank you also for those disappointments and failures that lead us to acknowledge our dependence on you alone.Above all, we thank you for your Son Jesus Christ; for the truth of his Word and the example of his life; for his steadfast obedience, by which he overcame temptation; for his dying, through which he overcame death; and for his rising to life again, in which we are raised to the life of your kingdom.Grant us the gift of your Spirit, that we may know him and make him known; and through him, at all times and in all places, may give thanks to you in all things. Amen.

Psalm 84 Charles Hubert Hastings Parry

How dear to me is your dwelling, O LORD of hosts! * My soul has a desire and longing for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my flesh rejoice in the living God.The sparrow has found her a houseand the swallow a nest where she may lay her young; * by the side of your altars, O LORD of hosts, my King and my God.Happy are they who dwell in your house! * they will always be praising you.Happy are the people whose strength is in you! * whose hearts are set on the pilgrims’ way.Those who go through the desolate valley will find it a place of springs, * for the early rains have covered it with pools of water.They will climb from height to height, * and the God of gods will reveal himself in Zion.LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; * hearken, O God of Jacob.Behold our defender, O God; * and look upon the face of your Anointed.For one day in your courts is better than a thousand in my own room, * and to stand at the threshold of the house of my God than to dwell in the tents of the wicked.For the LORD God is both sun and shield; * he will give grace and glory;No good thing will the LORD withhold * from those who walk with integrity.O LORD of hosts, * happy are they who put their trust in you!

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil.Amen

Suffrages Richard Shephard

O Lord, show thy mercy upon us: and grant us thy salvation.O Lord, save the State: and mercifully hear us when we call upon thee.Endue thy ministers with righteousness: and make thy chosen people joyful.O Lord, save thy people: and bless thine inheritance.Give peace in our time, O Lord: Because there is none other that fighteth for us, but only thou, O God.O God make clean our hearts within us: and take not thy Holy Spirit from us.

First Lesson 1 Kings 8:22-30

The Lessons

Then Solomon stood before the altar of the Lord in the presence of all the assembly of Israel, and spread out his hands to heaven. He said, ‘O Lord, God of Israel, there is no God like you in heaven above or on earth beneath, keeping covenant and steadfast love for your servants who walk before you with all their heart, the covenant that you kept for your servant my father David as you declared to him; you promised with your mouth and have this day fulfilled with your hand. Therefore, O Lord, God of Israel, keep for your servant my father David that which you promised him, saying, “There shall never fail you a successor before me to sit on the throne of Israel, if only your children look to their way, to walk before me as you have walked before me.” Therefore,

Magnificat in C Charles V. Stanford Book of Common Prayer page 119

O God of Israel, let your word be confirmed, which you promised to your servant my father David. ‘But will God indeed dwell on the earth? Even heaven and the highest heaven cannot contain you, much less this house that I have built! Have regard to your servant’s prayer and his plea, O Lord my God, heeding the cry and the prayer that your servant prays to you today; that your eyes may be open night and day towards this house, the place of which you said, “My name shall be there”, that you may heed the prayer that your servant prays towards this place. Hear the plea of your servant and of your people Israel when they pray towards this place; O hear in heaven your dwelling-place; heed and forgive.

The Apostles’ Creed

officiantall

I believe in God, the Father almighty, creator of heaven and earth.I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord. He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary. He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried. He descended to the dead. On the third day he rose again. He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Second Lesson 1 Peter 3:17-22

For it is better to suffer for doing good, if suffering should be God’s will, than to suffer for doing evil. For Christ also suffered for sins once for all, the righteous for the unrighteous, in order to bring you to God. He was put to death in the flesh, but made alive in the spirit, in which also he went and made a proclamation to the spirits in prison, who in former times did not obey, when God waited patiently in the days of

Noah, during the building of the ark, in which a few, that is, eight people, were saved through water. And baptism, which this prefigured, now saves you—not as a removal of dirt from the body, but as an appeal to God for a good conscience, through the resurrection of Jesus Christ, who has gone into heaven and is at the right hand of God, with angels, authorities, and powers made subject to him.
