O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us. 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.

Music: Richard Lloyd (b.1933) Sit as the choir sings Psalm 85 Lord, thou art become gracious unto thy land : thou hast turned away the captivity of Jacob. Thou hast forgiven the offence of thy people : and covered all their sins. Thou hast taken away all thy displeasure : and turned thyself from thy wrathful indignation. Turn us then, O God our Saviour : and let thine anger cease from us. Wilt thou be displeased at us for ever : and wilt thou stretch out thy wrath from one generation to another? Wilt thou not turn again, and quicken us : that thy people may rejoice in thee? Shew us thy mercy, O Lord : and grant us thy salvation. I will hearken what the Lord God will say concerning me : for he shall speak peace unto his people, and to his saints, that they turn not again. For his salvation is nigh them that fear him : that glory may dwell in our land. Mercy and truth are met together : righteousness and peace have kissed each other. Truth shall flourish out of the earth : and righteousness hath looked down from heaven. Yea, the Lord shall shew loving-kindness : and our land shall give her increase. Righteousness shall go before him : and he shall direct his going in the way. Stand 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.

And in a manger laid." "Fear not," said he, for mighty dread Thus spake the seraph, and forthwith Had seized their troubled mind; Appeared a shining throng "Glad tidings of great joy I bring Of angels praising God, who thus To you and all mankind." Addressed their joyful song: "To you, in David's town this day, "All glory be to God on high Is born of David's line And on the earth be peace. The Savior who is Christ the Lord, Goodwill henceforth from heav'n to men And this shall be the sign: Begin and never cease." Words: Traditional Tune: WINCHESTER OLD Please stand as the Choir sings Magnificat O Virgin of virgins, how shall this be? For neither before thee was any like thee, nor shall there be after. Daughters of Jerusalem, why marvel ye at me? The thing which ye behold is a divine mystery. My soul doth magnify the Lord : and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Saviour. For he hath regarded : the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold, from henceforth : all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me : and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him : throughout all generations. He hath shewed strength with his arm : he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts. He hath put down the mighty from their seat : and hath exalted the humble and meek. He hath filled the hungry with good things : and the rich he hath sent empty away. He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel : as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.

Words: Anon. Music: Benjamin Britten (1913-1976) Stand Apostles’ Creed I believe in God the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth: and in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell; the third day he rose again from the dead; he ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty; from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost; the holy catholick Church; the communion of saints; the forgiveness of sins; the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. Please sit as the choir sings Choir Carols Once in royal David’s city 3 For he is our childhood’s pattern, Stood a lowly cattle shed, Day by day like us he grew, Where a mother laid her baby He was little, weak, and helpless, In a manger for his bed: Tears and smiles like us he knew; Mary was that mother mild, And he feeleth for our sadness, Jesus Christ her little Child. And he shareth in our gladness. 2 He came down to earth from heaven 4 And our eyes at last shall see him, Who is God and Lord of all, Through his own redeeming love, And his shelter was a stable, For that child so dear and gentle And his cradle was a stall; Is our Lord in heaven above; With the poor and mean and lowly And he leads his children on Lived on earth our Saviour holy. To the place where he is gone. Words: Phillips Brooks (1835-93) Tune: FOREST GREEN Nova! nova! Ave fit ex Eva. Then said the angel: ‘Dread not you, Gabriel of high degree, You shall conceive in all virtue He came down from Trinity A Child whose name shall be Jesu’. To Nazareth in Galilee. Nova! nova! Ave fit ex Eva. Nova! nova! Ave fit ex Eva. He met a maiden in a place, ‘It is not yet six months agone He kneeled down afore her face. Since Elizabeth conceived John, He said: ‘Hail, Mary, full of grace!’ As it was prophesied before.’ Nova! nova! Ave fit ex Eva. Nova! nova! Ave fit ex Eva. When the maid heard tell of this Then said the maiden verily: She was full sore abashed I-wys ‘I am your servant right truly. And wened that she had done amiss. Ecce ancilla Domini’. Nova! nova!

  • Choral Evensong the 18Th Sunday After Trinity
    ST EDMUND HALL Choral Evensong The 18th Sunday after Trinity Speaker: The Revd Anthony Buckley Being oneself, changing the world 11 October 2020 6.30 pm What is Evensong? Evensong is one of the Church of England’s ancient services. It provides an open and generous space for quiet and reflection, for song and speech and prayer, as it draws from biblical readings, canticles, and the Church’s long tradition of hymns. All are welcome. Many have said, “Prayer is the key to the day and the lock to the night.” In the Anglican tradition, daily prayer is set at morning and evening for precisely this purpose: to give the opportunity to greet each new day as a divine gift and to prepare our hearts and minds for rest each night. It is founded in a sense of gratitude and wonder, and centred on the faith of Jesus Christ. We invite everyone to join in, as they are able, by listening attentively to the choir, readers, and ministers, and by saying together with us those prayers that are marked in bold: the Lord’s Prayer, the Grace, and the Amens. This year, we are meeting in many locations, not just in the Chapel. Space is primarily limited to the choir, readers, and speaker, but contact the chaplain to enquire about seating. Those who cannot join us in person may do so by Zoom at: https://us02web.zoom.us/j/87112377996?pwd=bm9zMWZreEl4M1RiK2to OXNvNW9aZz09 Please join us for drinks after the service. Speaker Our speaker this evening is the Revd Anthony Buckley, Vicar of St Michael at the North Gate.

  • Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 P.M
    OUR VISION: A world where people experience God’s love and are made whole. OUR MISSION: To share the love of Jesus through compassion, inclusivity, creativity and learning. Evensong 9 August 2018 5:15 p.m. Evensong Thursday in the Eleventh Week after Pentecost • 9 August 2018 • 5:15 pm Welcome to Grace Cathedral. Choral Evensong marks the end of the working day and prepares for the approaching night. The roots of this service come out of ancient monastic traditions of Christian prayer. In this form, it was created by Thomas Cranmer, Archbishop of Canterbury in the 16th century, as part of the simplification of services within the newly-reformed Church of England. The Episcopal Church, as part of the worldwide Anglican Communion, has inherited this pattern of evening prayer. In this service we are invited to reflect on the business of the past day, to pray for the world and for ourselves, and to commend all into God’s hands as words of Holy Scripture are said and sung. The beauty of the music is offered to help us set our lives in the light of eternity; the same light which dwelt among us in Jesus, and which now illuminates us by the Spirit. May this service be a blessing to you. Voluntary Canzonetta William Mathias The people stand as the procession enters. The Invitatory and Psalter Opening Sentence Said by the officiant. Preces John Rutter Officiant O Lord, open thou our lips. Choir And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. O God, make speed to save us.

  • BATES, JAMES M., DMA Music in Honor of the Virgin Mary
    BATES, JAMES M., D.M.A. Music in Honor of the Virgin Mary during the Middle Ages and Renaissance. (2010) Directed by Dr. Welborn Young. 50 pp. Veneration of the Virgin Mary was one of the most important aspects of Christianity during the Middle Ages and Renaissance, and sacred music of the time incorporated many Marian concepts. The Virgin Mary was considered the greatest intercessor with God and Christ at a time when fear of Purgatory was strong. Prayers and devotions seeking her aid were among the most significant aspects of spiritual life, and texts of this kind were set to music for devotional use. Beyond her identity as intercessor, there were many additional conceptions of her, and these also found musical expression. The purpose of this study was, first, to explore the basic elements of Marian devotion, and, second, to examine how veneration of Mary was expressed musically. Seven musical compositions from c. 1200-1600 are examined as representative examples. The ―Marian aspects‖ of some compositions may be as straightforward as the use of texts that address Mary, or they may be found in musical and textual symbolism. Of special interest is a particular genre of motet used in private devotions. Precise and detailed information about how sacred music was used in the Middle Ages and Renaissance is scarce, but evidence related to this particular kind of devotional motet helps bring together a number of elements related to Marian meditative practices and the kind of physical settings in which these took place, allowing a greater understanding of the overall performance context of such music.
