Communion Procession We Three Kings 1. We three kings of Orient are; Bearing gifts we traverse afar Field and fountain, Moor and mountain, Following yonder star.

2. Born a King on Bethlehem’s plain, Gold we bring to crown him again, King forever, Ceasing never, Over us all to reign. 3. Frankincense to offer have I: Incense owns a Deity nigh; Prayer and praising Gladly raising, Worshiping, God on high. 4. Myrrh is mine; its bitter perfume; Breathes a life of gathering gloom; Sorrowing, sighing, Bleeding, dying, Sealed in the stone-cold tomb. 5. Glorious now behold him arise, King and God and Sacrifice: “Hallelujah, Hallelujah!” Sounds o’er the earth and skies.

For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried,

and rose again on the third day in accordance with the Scriptures.

He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father.

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead

and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,

who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.

I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead

and the life of the world to come.

Amen. Prayers of Intercession

Homily

Profession of Faith The Nicene Creed

I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth,

of all things visible and invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all ages. God from God, Light from Light,

true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;

through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation

he came down from heaven, (bow) and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,

and became man.
