Organ Postlude: Psalm Prelude No. 1, Op. 32 – Herbert Howells (1892-1983): Mr Mark Slavec, June Nixon Organ Scholar

COLLECT Saving God, in Jesus Christ you opened for us a new and living way into your presence: give us pure hearts and constant wills to worship you in spirit and in truth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

FIRST READING Isaiah 44 : 6-8 6 Thus says the Lord, the King of Israel and his Redeemer, the Lord of hosts: I am the first and I am the last; besides me there is no god. 7 Who is like me? Let them proclaim it, let them declare and set it forth before me. Who has announced from of old the things to come? Let them tell us what is yet to be. 8 Do not fear, or be afraid; have I not told you from of old and declared it? You are my witnesses! Is there any god besides me? There is no other rock; I know not one. Hear the word of the Lord: thanks be to God.

PSALM 139 : 1-11, 23-24 At 8am the congregation join in saying the text in bold. At 10.30am please sing the response after the Cantor, then as indicated

1 O Lord, you have searched me out and known me: you know when I sit or when I stand, you comprehend my thoughts long before. 2 You discern my path and the places where I rest: you are acquainted with all my ways. Response 3 For there is not a word on my tongue: but you, Lord, know it altogether. 4 You have encompassed me behind and before: and have laid your hand upon me. 5 Such knowledge is too wonderful for me: so high that I cannot endure it. Response 6 Where shall I go from your spirit: or where shall I flee from your presence? 7 If I ascend into heaven you are there: if I make my bed in the grave you are there also. Response 8 If I spread out my wings towards the morning: or dwell in the uttermost parts of the sea, 9 even there your hand shall lead me: and your right hand shall hold me. Response 10 If I say, 'Surely the darkness will cover me: and the night will enclose me', 11 The darkness is no darkness with you, but the night is as clear as the day: the darkness and light are both alike. Response 23 Search me out, O God, and know my heart:

put me to the proof and know my thoughts. 24 Look well lest there be any way of wickedness in me:

and lead me to the way that is everlasting. Response SECOND READING Ephesians 6 : 10-20

10 Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his power. 11 Put on the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For our struggle is not against enemies of blood and flesh, but against the rulers, against the authorities, against the cosmic powers of this present darkness, against the spiritual forces of evil in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take up the whole armour of God, so that you may be able to withstand on that evil day, and having done everything, to stand firm. 14 Stand therefore, and fasten the belt of truth around your waist, and put on the breastplate of righteousness. 15 As shoes for your feet put on whatever will make you ready to proclaim the gospel of peace. 16 With all of these, take the shield of faith, with which you will be able to quench all the flaming arrows of the evil one. 17 Take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray in the Spirit at all times in every prayer and supplication. To that end keep alert and always persevere in supplication for all the saints. 19 Pray also for me, so that when I speak, a message may be given to me to make known with boldness the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains. Pray that I may declare it boldly, as I must speak. Hear the word of the Lord: thanks be to God.

GOSPEL READING Matthew 13 : 24 - 30 At 10.30am, please join in singing the Alleluia

Ferial Sarum F

Alleluia! Alleluia! Lord make your face shine upon us; unfold your word and give us light. Alleluia! The Lord be with you. And also with you. The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St Matthew. Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ! 24 He put before them another parable: ‘The kingdom of heaven may be compared to someone who sowed good seed in his field; 25 but while everybody was asleep, an enemy came and sowed weeds among the wheat, and then went away. 26 So when the plants came up and bore grain, then the weeds appeared as well. 27 And the slaves of the householder came and said to him, “Master, did you not sow good seed in your field? Where, then, did these weeds come from?” 28 He answered, “An enemy has done this.” The slaves said to him, “Then do you want us to go and gather them?” 29 But he replied, “No; for in gathering the weeds you would uproot the wheat along with them. 30 Let both of them grow together until the harvest; and at harvest time I will tell the reapers, Collect the weeds first and bind them in bundles to be burned, but gather the wheat into my barn.” ’ For the Gospel of the Lord: praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Listen sweet dove unto my song, And spread thy golden wings in me; Hatching my tender heart so long, Till it get wing and flie away with thee.

The sunne which once did shine alone, Hung down his head and wisht for night, When he beheld twelve sunnes for one Going about the world and giving light.

Such glorious gifts thou dost bestow The earth did like a heav’n appeare, The starres were coming down to know If they might mend their wages and serve here.

Lord though we change thou art the same, The same sweet God of love and light: Restore this day for thy great name, Unto his ancient and miraculous right.

PSALM 86 : 4-12 Sung by the choir 4 Comfort the soul of thy servant: for unto thee, O Lord, do I lift up my soul. 5 For thou, Lord, art good and gracious: and of great mercy unto all them that call upon thee. 6 Give ear, Lord, unto my prayer: and ponder the voice of my humble desires. 7 In the time of my trouble I will call upon thee: for thou hearest me. 8 Among the gods there is none like unto thee, O Lord: there is not one that can do as thou doest. 9 All nations whom thou hast made shall come and worship thee, O Lord: and shall glorify thy Name. 10 For thou art great, and doest wondrous things: thou art God alone. 11 Teach me thy way, O Lord, and I will walk in thy truth: O knit my heart unto thee, that I may fear thy Name. 12 I will thank thee, O Lord my God, with all my heart: and will praise thy Name for evermore.

FIRST READING Genesis 29 : 1-14 29 Jacob went on his journey, and came to the land of the people of the east. 2 As he looked, he saw a well in the field and three flocks of sheep lying there beside it; for out of that well the flocks were watered. The stone on the well’s mouth was large, 3 and when all the flocks were gathered there, the shepherds would roll the stone from the mouth of the well, and water the sheep, and put the stone back in its place on the mouth of the well. 4 Jacob said to them, ‘My brothers, where do you come from?’ They said, ‘We are from Haran.’ 5 He said to them, ‘Do you know Laban son of Nahor?’ They said, ‘We do.’ 6 He said to them, ‘Is it well with him?’ ‘Yes,’ they replied, ‘and here is his daughter Rachel, coming with the sheep.’ 7 He said, ‘Look, it is still broad daylight; it is not time for the animals to be gathered together. Water the sheep, and go, pasture them.’ 8 But they said, ‘We cannot until all the flocks are gathered together, and the stone is rolled from the mouth of the well; then we water the sheep.’ 9 While he was still speaking with them, Rachel came with her father’s

6

sheep; for she kept them. 10 Now when Jacob saw Rachel, the daughter of his mother’s brother Laban, and the sheep of his mother’s brother Laban, Jacob went up and rolled the stone from the well’s mouth, and watered the flock of his mother’s brother Laban. 11 Then Jacob kissed Rachel, and wept aloud. 12 And Jacob told Rachel that he was her father’s kinsman, and that he was Rebekah’s son; and she ran and told her father. 13 When Laban heard the news about his sister’s son Jacob, he ran to meet him; he embraced him and kissed him, and brought him to his house. Jacob told Laban all these things, 14 and Laban said to him, ‘Surely you are my bone and my flesh!’ And he stayed with him for a month.

SECOND READING Romans 9 : 30 – 10 : 4 30 What then are we to say? Gentiles, who did not strive for righteousness, have attained it, that is, righteousness through faith; 31 but Israel, who did strive for the righteousness that is based on the law, did not succeed in fulfilling that law. 32 Why not? Because they did not strive for it on the basis of faith, but as if it were based on works. They have stumbled over the stumbling-stone, 33 as it is written, ‘See, I am laying in Zion a stone that will make people stumble, a rock that will make them fall, and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.’ 10.1 Brothers and sisters, my heart’s desire and prayer to God for them is that they may be saved. 2 I can testify that they have a zeal for God, but it is not enlightened. 3 For, being ignorant of the righteousness that comes from God, and seeking to establish their own, they have not submitted to God’s righteousness. 4 For Christ is the end of the law so that there may be righteousness for everyone who believes.

COLLECT FOR THE SIXTH SUNDAY AFTER TRINITY O God, who hast prepared for them that love thee such good things as pass man's understanding: Pour into our hearts such love toward thee, that we, loving thee above all things, may obtain thy promises, which exceed all that we can desire; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

HYMN 1: GOD OF MERCY, GOD OF GRACE Henry Francis Lyte (1793–1847) Hymns Ancient and Modern New Standard 179

2

Let the people praise thee, Lord; be by all that live adored; let the nations shout and sing glory to their Saviour king; at thy feet their tribute pay, and thy holy will obey.

3

Let the people praise thee, Lord; earth shall then her fruits afford; God to us his blessing give, we to God devoted live: all below, and all above, one in joy and light and love.

HYMN 2: BLEST ARE THE PURE IN HEART John Keble (1792-1866) and William John Hall (1793-1861) Australian Hymn Book 376

2

The Lord who left the heavens our life and peace to bring, to dwell with us in lowliness, our pattern and our King;

3

still to the lowly soul he doth himself impart, and for his cradle and his throne chooseth the pure in heart.

4

Lord, we thy presence seek; may ours this blessing be: give us a pure and lowly heart, a temple meet for thee.

HYMN 3: AND NOW, O FATHER, MINDFUL OF THE LOVE William Bright (1824–1901) Hymns Ancient and Modern Revised 397ii

Look, Father, look on his anointed face, and only look on us as found in him; look not on our misusings of thy grace, our prayer so languid, and our faith so dim: for lo, between our sins and their reward we set the Passion of thy Son our Lord.

10

And then for those, our dearest and our best, by this prevailing Presence we appeal: O fold them closer to thy mercy’s breast, O do thine utmost for their souls’ true weal; from tainting mischief keep them pure and clear, and crown thy gifts with strength to persevere.

And so we come: O draw us to thy feet, most patient Saviour, who canst love us still; and by this food, so aweful and so sweet, deliver us from every touch of ill: in thine own service make us glad and free, and grant us never more to part with thee.

HYMN 4: FILLED WITH THE SPIRIT’S POWER John Raphael Peacey (1896–1971) Together in Song 411. Reproduced with permission

Now with the mind of Christ set us on fire, that unity may be our great desire: give joy and peace; give faith to hear your call, and readiness in each to work for all. Widen our love, good Spirit, to embrace in your strong care all those of every race: like wind and fire with life among us move till we are known as Christ’s, and Christians prove.
