2 GATHERING IN GOD’S NAME

INTROIT HYMN As the entrance bell is rung, please stand to sing the hymn 1 Be still, my soul: the Lord is on your side; bear patiently the cross of grief and pain; leave to your God to order and provide; in every change he faithful will remain. Be still, my soul: your best, your heavenly friend through thorny ways leads to a joyful end. 2 Be still, my soul: your God will undertake to guide the future as he has the past. Your hope, your confidence let nothing shake, all now mysterious shall be clear at last. Be still, my soul: the tempests still obey his voice, who ruled them once on Galilee. 3 Be still, my soul: when dearest friends depart and all is darkened in the vale of tears, then you shall better know his love, his heart, who comes to soothe your sorrow, calm your fears. Be still, my soul: for Jesus can restore the trust and hope that strengthened you before. 4 Be still, my soul: the hour is hastening on when we shall be for ever with the Lord, when disappointment, grief and fear are gone, sorrow forgotten, love’s pure joy restored. Be still, my soul: when change and tears are past, all safe and blessèd we shall meet at last. Katharina von Schlegel (1697-?) tr. Jane Laurie Borthwick (1813-97) Reproduced with permission. Together in Song 123 Tune: Finlandia

The presiding priest says the Collect of the Day Let us pray. Life-giving God, your Son came into the world to free us all from sin and death: breathe upon us with the power of your Spirit, that we may be raised to new life in Christ, and serve you in holiness and righteousness all our days; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

4 THE LITURGY OF THE WORD [sit] A reading from the book of the prophet Ezekiel. 37:1-14

The hand of the LORD came upon me, and he brought me out by the spirit of the LORD and set me down in the middle of a valley; it was full of bones. He led me all around them; there were very many lying in the valley, and they were very dry. He said to me, ‘Mortal, can these bones live?’ I answered, ‘O Lord GOD, you know.’ Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to these bones, and say to them: O dry bones, hear the word of the LORD. Thus says the Lord GOD to these bones: I will cause breath to enter you, and you shall live. I will lay sinews on you, and will cause flesh to come upon you, and cover you with skin, and put breath in you, and you shall live; and you shall know that I am the LORD.’ So I prophesied as I had been commanded; and as I prophesied, suddenly there was a noise, a rattling, and the bones came together, bone to its bone. I looked, and there were sinews on them, and flesh had come upon them, and skin had covered them; but there was no breath in them. Then he said to me, ‘Prophesy to the breath, prophesy, mortal, and say to the breath: Thus says the Lord GOD: Come from the four winds, O breath, and breathe upon these slain, that they may live.’ I prophesied as he commanded me, and the breath came into them, and they lived, and stood on their feet, a vast multitude. Then he said to me, ‘Mortal, these bones are the whole house of Israel. They say, “Our bones are dried up, and our hope is lost; we are cut off completely.” Therefore prophesy, and say to them, Thus says the Lord GOD: I am going to open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people; and I will bring you back to the land of Israel. And you shall know that I am the LORD, when I open your graves, and bring you up from your graves, O my people. I will put my spirit within you, and you shall live, and I will place you on your own soil; then you shall know that I, the LORD, have spoken and will act, says the LORD.’

For the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.

PSALM 130

1 Out of the depths have I called to you, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice;

2 O let your ears consider well: the voice of my supplication.

3 If you, Lord, should note what we do wrong: who then, O Lord, could stand?

4 But there is forgiveness with you: so that you shall be feared.

5 5 I wait for the Lord, my soul waits for him: and in his word is my hope.

6 My soul looks for the Lord: more than watchmen for the morning, more, I say, than watchmen for the morning.

7 O Israel, trust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is mercy: and with him is ample redemption.

8 He will redeem Israel: from the multitude of their sins. Text: A Prayer Book for Australia Chant: After Purcell

A reading from the letter of Paul to the Romans. 8:6-11

To set the mind on the flesh is death, but to set the mind on the Spirit is life and peace. For this reason the mind that is set on the flesh is hostile to God; it does not submit to God’s law – indeed it cannot, and those who are in the flesh cannot please God. But you are not in the flesh; you are in the Spirit, since the Spirit of God dwells in you. Anyone who does not have the Spirit of Christ does not belong to him. But if Christ is in you, though the body is dead because of sin, the Spirit is life because of righteousness. If the Spirit of him who raised Jesus from the dead dwells in you, he who raised Christ from the dead will give life to your mortal bodies also through his Spirit that dwells in you.

For the word of the Lord, thanks be to God.

GRADUAL HYMN 1 3 O breath of life, come sweeping through us, O breath of love, come breathe within us, revive your church with life and power; renewing thought and will and heart; O breath of life, come cleanse, renew us, come, love of Christ, afresh to win us, and fit your church to meet this hour. revive your church in every part. 2 4 O wind of God, come bend us, break us, Revive us, Lord! Is zeal abating till humbly we confess our need; while harvest fields are vast and white? then in your tenderness remake us, Revive us, Lord, the world is waiting, revive, restore: for this we plead. equip your church to spread the light.

Elizabeth Ann Porter Head (1850-1936) Reproduced with permission TIS 409 Tune: Spiritus Vitae

The Lord be with you. And also with you.

6 A reading from the holy Gospel according to John. 11:1-45 Glory to you Lord Jesus Christ.

A certain man was ill, Lazarus of Bethany, the village of Mary and her sister Martha. Mary was the one who anointed the Lord with perfume and wiped his feet with her hair; her brother Lazarus was ill. So the sisters sent a message to Jesus, ‘Lord, he whom you love is ill.’ But when Jesus heard it, he said, ‘This illness does not lead to death; rather it is for God’s glory, so that the Son of God may be glorified through it.’ Accordingly, though Jesus loved Martha and her sister and Lazarus, after having heard that Lazarus was ill, he stayed two days longer in the place where he was. Then after this he said to the disciples, ‘Let us go to Judea again.’ The disciples said to him, ‘Rabbi, the Jewish authorities were just now trying to stone you, and are you going there again?’ Jesus answered, ‘Are there not twelve hours of daylight? Those who walk during the day do not stumble, because they see the light of this world. But those who walk at night stumble, because the light is not in them.’ After saying this, he told them, ‘Our friend Lazarus has fallen asleep, but I am going there to awaken him.’ The disciples said to him, ‘Lord, if he has fallen asleep, he will be all right.’ Jesus, however, had been speaking about his death, but they thought that he was referring merely to sleep. Then Jesus told them plainly, ‘Lazarus is dead. For your sake I am glad I was not there, so that you may believe. But let us go to him.’ Thomas, who was called the Twin, said to his fellow-disciples, ‘Let us also go, that we may die with him.’ When Jesus arrived, he found that Lazarus had already been in the tomb four days. Now Bethany was near Jerusalem, some two miles away, and many of the people had come to Martha and Mary to console them about their brother. When Martha heard that Jesus was coming, she went and met him, while Mary stayed at home. Martha said to Jesus, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died. But even now I know that God will give you whatever you ask of him.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Your brother will rise again.’ Martha said to him, ‘I know that he will rise again in the resurrection on the last day.’ Jesus said to her, ‘I am the resurrection and the life. Those who believe in me, even though they die, will live, and everyone who lives and believes in me will never die. Do you believe this?’ She said to him, ‘Yes, Lord, I believe that you are the Messiah, the Son of God, the one coming into the world.’ When she had said this, she went back and called her sister Mary, and told her privately, ‘The Teacher is here and is calling for you.’ And when she heard it, she got up quickly and went to him.

Now Jesus had not yet come to the village, but was still at the place where Martha had met him. Those who were with her in the house, consoling her, saw Mary get up quickly and go out. They followed her because they thought that she was going to the tomb to weep there. When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at his feet and said to him, ‘Lord, if you had been here, my brother would not have died.’ When Jesus saw her weeping, and those who came with her also weeping, he was greatly disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, ‘Where have you laid him?’ They said to him, ‘Lord, come and see.’ Jesus began to weep.

7 So they said, ‘See how he loved him!’ But some of them said, ‘Could not he who opened the eyes of the blind man have kept this man from dying?’ Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a cave, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said, ‘Take away the stone.’ Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him, ‘Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four days.’ Jesus said to her, ‘Did I not tell you that if you believed, you would see the glory of God?’ So they took away the stone. And Jesus looked upwards and said, ‘Father, I thank you for having heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I have said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they may believe that you sent me.’ When he had said this, he cried with a loud voice, ‘Lazarus, come out!’ The dead man came out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, ‘Unbind him, and let him go.’ Many of the people therefore, who had come with Mary and had seen what Jesus did, believed in him.

For the Gospel of the Lord, praise to you Lord Jesus Christ.

Sunday School Prayer – Miss Kim

Sermon – Father Richard

The Nicene Creed is said, introduced by the deacon [stand] Let us together affirm the faith of the Church:

We believe in one God, the Father, the almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary and became truly human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again 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.

8 We 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 worshipped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets.

We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

THE PRAYERS OF THE FAITHFUL

The deacon introduces the prayers, saying [kneel or sit] Let us pray for the world and for the Church.

After each prayer After last prayer … in your mercy, Rest eternal grant to them, O Lord; hear our prayer. and let light perpetual shine upon them.

The presiding priest says Holy God, through your beloved Son you reconciled all things to yourself, making peace by the blood of his cross: fill us and those for whom we pray with your peace and joy; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

CONFESSION AND ABSOLUTION

The deacon says ‘I am the resurrection and the life,’ says the Lord; ‘whoever lives and believes in me shall never die.’

We do not presume to come to your table, merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the same Lord whose nature is always to have mercy. Grant us, therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink his blood, that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

9 Compassion and forgiveness belong to the Lord our God, though we have rebelled and wandered far off.

Pause for silent reflection

Let us then ask for mercy, confessing our sins in penitence and faith.

Merciful God, our maker and our judge, we have sinned against you in thought, word, and deed, and in what we have failed to do: we have not loved you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours as ourselves; we repent, and are sorry for all our sins. Father, forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

The presiding priest says the Absolution

Almighty God, who has promised forgiveness to all who turn to him in faith: pardon you  and set you free from all your sins, strengthen you in all goodness and keep you in eternal life, through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. [stand]

THE GREETING OF PEACE Christ has reconciled us to God in one body by the cross. We meet in his name and share his peace.

The peace of the Lord be always with you. And also with you.

You are invited to exchange a sign of peace with those around you. During the Offertory Hymn a collection is taken and offered with the bread & wine.

OFFERTORY HYMN 1 2 Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness, Now I sink before thee lowly, leave the gloomy haunts of sadness; filled with joy most deep and holy, come into the daylight’s splendour, as with trembling awe and wonder there with joy thy praises render on thy mighty works I ponder: unto him whose grace unbounded how, by mystery surrounded, hath this wondrous banquet founded: depth no mortal ever sounded, high o’er all the heavens he reigneth, none may dare to pierce unbidden yet to dwell with thee he deigneth. secrets that with thee are hidden.

10 3 4 Sun, who all my life dost brighten, Jesus, Bread of Life, I pray thee, light, who dost my soul enlighten, let me gladly here obey thee; joy, the sweetest heart e’er knoweth, never to my hurt invited, fount, whence all my being floweth, be thy love with love requited: at thy feet I cry, my Maker, from this banquet let me measure, let me be a fit partaker Lord, how vast and deep its treasure; of this blessèd food from heaven, through the gifts thou here dost give me, for our good, thy glory, given. as thy guest in heaven receive me.

J Franck (1618-77) tr. Catherine Winkworth (1827-78) Tune: Schmücke dich (A&M NS 257)

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING

The presiding priest begins the Eucharistic Prayer The Lord be with you. And also with you.

Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord.

Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give our thanks and praise.

The priest says the Eucharistic Preface for Lent, concluding with …for ever praising you and singing:

11 The priest continues the Eucharistic Prayer; the deacon says In faith we acclaim you, O Christ: Lord, by your cross and resurrection you have set us free. [said] You are the Saviour of the world.

The priest continues the Eucharistic Prayer, concluding with …all glory and honour is yours, gracious Father, for ever and ever. Amen.

The deacon introduces the Lord’s Prayer As our Saviour Christ has taught us, we are confident to pray: Our Father in heaven, hallowed be your name, your kingdom come, your will be done, on earth as in heaven. Give us today our daily bread. Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us. Save us from the time of trial and deliver us from evil. For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

BREAKING OF THE BREAD AND COMMUNION

The presiding priest breaks the bread in silence Agnus Dei is sung [kneel or sit]

Civitas sancti tui facta est deserta. Your holy city has become a wilderness, Sion deserta facta est, Zion has become a wilderness, Jerusalem desolata est. Jerusalem has been made desolate.

THE SENDING OUT OF GOD’S PEOPLE Announcements are made after Communion DISMISSAL HYMN 1 When human voices cannot sing and human hearts are breaking, we bring our grief to you, O God who knows our inner aching. 2 3 Set free our spirits from all fear – Make real for us your holding love, the cloud of dark unknowing, the love which is your meaning, and let the light, the Christ-light show the power to move the stone of death, the pathway of our going. the hope of Easter morning. Shirley Erena Murray (b. 1931) Reproduced with permission. TiS 682 Tune: St Columba

The presiding priest says a post-communion prayer, concluding with Father, we offer ourselves to you as a living sacrifice through Jesus Christ our Lord. Send us out in the power of your Spirit to live and work to your praise and glory.

The presiding priest says the blessing, then the deacon says Go in peace to love and serve the Lord: In the name of Christ. Amen.
