THE WORD OF GODTHE COLLECT OF THE DAY BCP 232Presider The Lord be with you.People And also with you.Presider Let us pray.Grant, O merciful God, that your Church, being gatheredtogether in unity by your Holy Spirit, may show forth yourpower among all peoples, to the glory of your Name; throughJesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and theHoly Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.§ Please be seatedTHE FIRST LESSON Isaiah 51:1-6Listen to me, you that pursue righteousness, you that seek the Lord.Look to the rock from which you were hewn, and to the quarry fromwhich you were dug. Look to Abraham your father and to Sarah whobore you; for he was but one when I called him, but I blessed him andmade him many. For the Lord will comfort Zion; he will comfort all herwaste places, and will make her wilderness like Eden, her desert like thegarden of the Lord; joy and gladness will be found in her, thanksgivingand the voice of song. Listen to me, my people, and give heed to me, mynation; for a teaching will go out from me, and my justice for a light tothe peoples. I will bring near my deliverance swiftly, my salvation hasgone out and my arms will rule the peoples; the coastlands wait for me,and for my arm they hope. Lift up your eyes to the heavens, and look atthe earth beneath; for the heavens will vanish like smoke, the earth willwear out like a garment, and those who live on it will die like gnats; butmy salvation will be forever, and my deliverance will never be ended.ReaderPeopleThe Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

GRADUAL PSALM 138 Confitebor tibi BCP 7931 I will give thanks to you, O LORD, with my whole / heart; *before the gods I will sing your / praise.2 I will bow down toward your holy temple and praise your / Name, *because of your love and / faithfulness;3 For you have glorified your / Name *and your word above all / things.4 When I called, you / answered me; *you increased my strength with/in me.5 All the kings of the earth will praise you, O / LORD, *when they have heard the words of your / mouth.6 They will sing of the ways of the / LORD, *that great is the glory of the / LORD.7 Though the LORD be high, he cares for the / lowly; *he perceives the haughty from a/far.8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble, you keep me / safe; *you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my enemies;your right hand shall / save me.9 The LORD will make good his purpose for / me; *O LORD, your love endures for ever;do not abandon the works of your / hands.

THE SECOND LESSON Romans 12:1-8I appeal to you therefore, brothers and sisters, by the mercies of God, topresent your bodies as a living sacrifice, holy and acceptable to God,which is your spiritual worship. Do not be conformed to this world, butbe transformed by the renewing of your minds, so that you may discernwhat is the will of God—what is good and acceptable and perfect. For bythe grace given to me I say to everyone among you not to think ofyourself more highly than you ought to think, but to think with soberjudgment, each according to the measure of faith that God has assigned.For as in one body we have many members, and not all the membershave the same function, so we, who are many, are one body in Christ,and individually we are members one of another. We have gifts thatdiffer according to the grace given to us: prophecy, in proportion to faith;ministry, in ministering; the teacher, in teaching; the exhorter, inexhortation; the giver, in generosity; the leader, in diligence; the compassionate,in cheerfulness.ReaderPeopleThe Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.§ Please standALLELUIA VERSE (Cantor, then all repeat)Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.How good it is to sing praises to / our God; *How pleasant it is / to honor him with praise.Alleluia. Alleluia. Alleluia.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING Eucharistic Prayer C BCP 369The Presider continuesGod of all power, Ruler of the Universe, you are worthy of glory andpraise.Glory to you for ever and ever.At your command all things came to be: the vast expanse of interstellarspace, galaxies, suns, the planets in their courses, and this fragile earth,our island home.By your will they were created and have their being.From the primal elements you brought forth the human race, and blessedus with memory, reason, and skill. You made us the rulers of creation.But we turned against you, and betrayed your trust; and we turnedagainst one another.Have mercy, Lord, for we are sinners in your sight.Again and again, you called us to return. Through prophets and sagesyou revealed your righteous Law. And in the fullness of time you sentyour only Son, born of a woman, to fulfill your Law, to open for us theway of freedom and peace.By his blood, he reconciled us.By his wounds, we are healed.

And therefore we praise you, joining with the heavenly chorus, withprophets, apostles, and martyrs, and with all those in every generationwho have looked to you in hope, to proclaim with them your glory, intheir unending hymn:SANCTUS S 130 Franz Peter Schubert (1797-1828)
