WELCOME TO LINCOLN CATHEDRAL

This service, and the other sung services during the week, are available online and we welcome all those both near and far joining our worship as it is live streamed at: https://www.facebook.com/Lincoln.Cathedral

Along with opportunities for public worship, the cathedraldral (Shrine of St Hugh) is open for a time each day for people to use for private prayer and reflection. This area will be open between 10am and 3pm from Monday to Friday, and from 11 30am to 3pm on Sundays. The Dean’s Green will also remain available as a place for quiet and reflection from 10am to 4pm each day.

However, we ask people to take seriously the advice to STAY AT HOME, PROTECT THE NHS and SAVE LIVES.

THE ORDER FOR COMPLINE

The service may be preceded by a time of reflection and/or silent prayer.

When there is an Address before Compline this may be introduced by using the Collect of the Day and an appropriate reading.

The Preparation The Lord almighty grant us a quiet night and a perfect end. All Amen.

All Brethren, be sober, be vigilant; because your adversary the devil, as a roaring lion, walketh about, seeking whom he may devour: whom resist, steadfast in the faith.

But thou, O Lord, have mercy upon us. All Thanks be to God

Our help is in the name of the Lord All who hath made heaven and earth.

Silence is kept.

All We confess to God almighty, the Father, the Son and the Holy Ghost, that we have sinned in thought, word and deed, through our own grievous fault. Wherefore we pray God to have mercy upon us.

Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us all our sins and deliver us from all evil, confirm and strengthen us in all goodness, and bring us to everlasting life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

O ye sons of men, how long will ye blaspheme mine honour : and have such pleasure in vanity, and seek after leasing? Know this also, that the Lord hath chosen to himself the man that is godly : when I call upon the Lord, he will hear me. Stand in awe, and sin not : commune with your own heart, and in your chamber, and be still. Offer the sacrifice of righteousness : and put your trust in the Lord. There be many that say : Who will shew us any good? Lord, lift thou up: the light of thy countenance upon us. Thou hast put gladness in my heart: since the time that their corn, and wine, and oil increased. I will lay me down in peace, and take my rest : for it is thou, Lord, only, that makest me dwell in safety.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

The Lesson A Reading from the Old and/or New Testament is read: I will pour out a spirit of compassion and supplication on the house of David and the inhabitants of Jerusalem, so that, when they look on the one whom they have pierced, they shall mourn for him, as one mourns for an only child, and weep bitterly over him, as one weeps over a firstborn. Zechariah 12.10

Jesus said, ‘Come to me, all you that are weary and are carrying heavy burdens, and I will give you rest. Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and humble in heart, and you will find rest for your souls. For my yoke is easy, and my burden is light.’ Matthew 11.28-end

The service may conclude with the singing of one of the traditional Anthems to the Blessed Virgin Mary.

The Order of Tenebrae of Maundy Thursday (held on the Wednesday evening preceding Maundy Thursday)

The ministers enter in silence and proceed to their places. The Office then begins immediately with the Antiphon of the first psalm. The congregation sit for the singing of the psalms.

NOCTURN I PSALM 69 WITH ANTIPHON: The zeal of thine house hath even eaten me: and the rebuke of them that rebuked thee are fallen upon me.

At the end of the psalm, the following response is spoken: Let them be turned backward and put to confusion All That wish to do me evil.

LESSON 1: Lamentations 1.1-5 At the end of the lesson two candles are extinguished.

RESPONSORY: ‘In monte Oliveti’ Giovanni Battista Martini In monte Oliveti oravit ad On the Mount of Olives he prayed patrem: ‘Pater si fieri potest to his Father: "Father, if it be transeat a me calix iste. possible, let this cup pass from me. Spiritus quidem promptus est The spirit indeed is willing, but the caro autem infirma. flesh is weak. Fiat voluntas tua.’ Let your will be done."

LESSON 2: Lamentations 1.6-9 At the end of the lesson two candles are extinguished.

RESPONSORY: ‘Tristis est anima mea’ Giovanni Battista Martini Tristis est anima mea usque Sorrowful is my soul even unto ad mortem: sustinete hic et death. vigilate mecum. Stay here, and watch with me. Nunc videbitis turbam quæ Now you shall see the mob that will circumdabit me. surround me. Vos fugam capietis, et ego You shall take flight, and I shall go to vadam immolari pro vobis. be sacrificed for you.

LESSON 3: Lamentations 1.10-14 At the end of the lesson two candles are extinguished.

RESPONSORY: ‘Ecce vidimus’ Plainsong Ecce vidimus eum non Behold we shall see him having habentem speciem, neque neither form nor comeliness: decorem: Aspectus ejus in eo non est: There is no beauty in him. Hic peccata nostra portavit, et This is he who has borne our sins pro nobis dolet: and suffered for us. Ipse autem vulneratus est, He was bruised for our iniquities, propter iniquitates nostras: Cujus livore sanati sumus. and with his stripes we are healed.

AT LAUDS PSALM 90 WITH ANTIPHON: He was led as a sheep to the slaughter: and he opened not his mouth. PSALM 36 WITH ANTIPHON: My heart within me is broken: all my bones shake.

At the end of the psalms, the following response is spoken: Mine own, familiar friend whom I trusted: All Who also did eat of my bread, hath laid great wait for me.

CANTICLE: Benedictus with antiphon: Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that man is he; hold him fast.

BLESSED be the Lord God of Israel : for he hath visited and redeemed his people; And hath raised up a mighty salvation for us : in the house of his servant David; As he spake by the mouth of his holy Prophets : which have been since the world began; That we should be saved from our enemies : and from the hand of all that hate us. To perform the mercy promised to our forefathers : and to remember his holy Covenant; To perform the oath which he sware to our forefather Abraham : that he would give us; That we being delivered out of the hand of our enemies : might serve him without fear; In holiness and righteousness before him : all the days of our life. And thou, Child, shalt be called the Prophet of the Highest : for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to prepare his ways; To give knowledge of salvation unto his people : for the remission of their sins, Through the tender mercy of our God : whereby the day-spring from on high hath visited us; To give light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death : and to guide our feet into the way of peace. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son : and to the Holy Ghost; As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be : world without end. Amen.

Now he that betrayed him gave them a sign, saying: Whomsoever I shall kiss, that man is he; hold him fast.

After the Canticle, during the repetition of the antiphon, the remaining candle is taken and hidden behind the altar.

ANTHEM: ‘Christus factus est’ Matteo Asola Christus factus est pro nobis obediens Christ became obedient for us usque ad mortem, mortem autem crucis. even to death on the cross. Propter quod et Deus exaltavit illum Therefore God has exalted him et dedit illi nomen, and given him a name which is quod est super omne nomen. above all other names. Philippians 2: 8-9

After the singing of the anthem there is a period of silence, which ends with the reciting of psalm 51 which is said by all quietly: Miserere mei, Deus HAVE mercy upon me, O God, after thy great goodness: according to the multitude of thy mercies do away mine offences. Wash me throughly from my wickedness: and cleanse me from my sin. For I acknowledge my faults: and my sin is ever before me. Against thee only have I sinned, and done this evil in thy sight: that thou mightest be justified in thy saying, and clear when thou art judged. Behold, I was shapen in wickedness: and in sin hath my mother conceived me. But lo, thou requirest truth in the inward parts: and shalt make me to understand wisdom secretly. Thou shalt purge me with hyssop, and I shall be clean: thou shalt wash me, and I shall be whiter than snow. Thou shalt make me hear of joy and gladness: that the bones which thou hast broken may rejoice. Turn thy face from my sins: and put out all my misdeeds. Make me a clean heart, O God: and renew a right spirit within me. Cast me not away from thy presence: and take not thy holy Spirit from me.

O give me the comfort of thy help again: and stablish me with thy free Spirit. Then shall I teach thy ways unto the wicked: and sinners shall be converted unto thee. Deliver me from blood-guiltiness, O God, thou that art the God of my health: and my tongue shall sing of thy righteousness. Thou shalt open my lips, O Lord: and my mouth shall shew thy praise. For thou desirest no sacrifice, else would I give it thee: but thou delightest not in burnt-offerings. The sacrifice of God is a troubled spirit: a broken and contrite heart, O God, shalt thou not despise. O be favourable and gracious unto Sion: build thou the walls of Jerusalem. Then shalt thou be pleased with the sacrifice of righteousness, with the burnt-offerings and oblations: then shall they offer young bullocks upon thine altar.

THE COLLECT, said without chant: Almighty God, we pray you graciously to behold this your family, for whom our Lord Jesus Christ was willing to be betrayed, and given into the hands of sinners, and to suffer death upon the cross.

Nothing further is said; but a noise is made, and the remaining candle is brought from its hiding place and replaced on the stand. By its light the ministers and people depart in silence.
