O God of Love, O King of Peace - #660 LITURGY OF THE EUCHARIST

O God of love, O King of peace, ANTIPHON Make wars throughout the world to cease; Moses prayed in the sight of the Lord his God, and Our greed and sinful wrath restrain; said: Why, O Lord, is your anger enkindled against your people? Give peace, O God, give peace again! Let the anger of your spirit cease.Be mindful of Abraham, Isaac, and Jacob, to whom you swore to give a land flowing with milk and Whom shall we trust, but thee, O Lord? honey.And the Lord was appeased from the evil which he said he Where rest but on thy faithful word? would inflict upon his people. None ever called on thee in vain; Give peace, O God, give peace again! OFFERTORY ANTHEM (9:30am) sung by Choir I call and cry to thee, O Lord- Tallis Where saints and angels dwell above, All hearts are joined in holy love; I call and cry to thee, O Lord. Give ear unto my plaint. O bind us in that heav'nly chain; Bow down thine eyes and mark my heavy plight, Give peace, O God, give peace again! and how my soul doth faint. For I have many ways offended thee. ENTRANCE ANTIPHON Forget my wickedness, O Lord, I beseech thee. Give peace, O Lord, to those who wait for you, that your prophets be found true. Hear the prayers of OFFERTORY HYMN your servant, and of your people Israel. Glorious Things of Thee Are Spoken - #529, vs.1-2

124 KYRIE Glorious things of thee are spoken, 125 GLORIA Zion, city of our God; He whose word cannot be broken LITURGY OF THE WORD Formed thee for his own abode; On the Rock of Ages founded, FIRST READING: Ex 32: 7-11, 13-14 What can shake thy sure repose? With salvation?s walls surrounded, RESPONSORIAL PSALM: Lk: 15:18 Thou may'st smile at all thy foes.

See! The streams of living waters, Springing from eternal love, Well supply thy sons and daughters SECOND READING: 1 Tim 1: 12-17 And all fear of want remove.

The children of men All Praise to Thee, for Thou, O King Divine - #419, v. 1-3 seek shelter in the shadow of your wings.

COMMUNION ANTHEM (9:30am) sung by Choir All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine, Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace - Wesley Did yield the glory that of right was thine, that in our darkened hearts thy grace might shine. ! Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on thee. The darkness is no darkness with thee, Thou came to us in lowliness of thought, but the night is as clear as the day. By thee the outcast and the poor were sought, The darkness and the light to thee are both alike. God is light and with him is no darkness at all. And by thy death was God's salvation wrought. Alleluia! Oh let my soul live, and it shall praise thee, for thine is the kingdom, the power, Let this mind be in us which was in thee, and the glory, for evermore. Who was a servant that we might be free, COMMUNION HYMN Humbling thyself to death on Calvary. Alleluia Father, We Thank Thee - #521 Father, we thank Thee who hast planted Thy holy Name within our hearts. Knowledge and faith and life immortal, Jesus, Thy Son to us imparts. Thou, Lord, didst make all for Thy pleasure, didst give man food for all his days, giving in Christ the Bread eternal; Thine is the pow'r, be Thine the praise.

Watch o'er Thy church, O Lord, in mercy, save it from evil, guard it still; Perfect it in Thy love, unite it, cleansed and conformed unto Thy will. As grain, once scattered on the hillsides, was in this broken bread made one, so from all lands Thy church be gathered into Thy kingdom by Thy Son.

PROCESSIONAL HYMN O Worship the King - #689, vs. 1, 4 & 5

O worship the King, all glorious above, O gratefully sing his power and his love; Our Shield and Defender, the Ancient of Days,Pavilioned in splendor, and girded with praise.

Thy bountiful care, what tongue can recite?It breathes in the air, it shines in the light; It streams from the hills, it descends to the plain, And sweetly distills in the dew and the rain.

Frail children of dust, and feeble as frail, In thee do we trust, nor find thee to fail; Thy mercies, how tender, how firm to the end!Our Maker, Defender, Redeemer, and Friend.
