Introit Processional Psalm 121 (1962, rev. 1978) Hallock Sung by the Cathedral and Compline Choirs I lift up my eyes to the hills; from where is my help to come? My help comes from the Lord, the maker of heaven and earth. He will not let your foot be moved and he who watches over you will not fall asleep. Behold, he who keeps watch over Israel shall neither slumber nor sleep; The Lord himself watches over you; the Lord is your shade at your right hand, So that the sun shall not strike you by day, nor the moon by night. The Lord shall preserve you from all evil; it is he who shall keep you safe. The Lord shall watch over your going out and your coming in, from this time forth for evermore. The Reception of Ashes Bishop With faith in Jesus Christ, we receive the ashes of our brother Peter. Let us pray with confidence to God, the Giver of life, that he will raise him to perfection in the company of the saints. Silence is kept. Deliver your servant, Peter, O Sovereign Lord Christ, from all evil, and set him free from every bond; that he may rest with all your saints in the eternal habitations; where with the Father and the Holy Spirit you live and reign, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. The ashes are sprinkled with water from the baptismal font and censed with incense. The Paschal Candle leads the ashes into the Cathedral. Solemn Procession I saw a new heaven and a new earth (1979) Hallock Sung by both choirs, the Compline Choir in procession conducted by Carl Crosier, Peter's friend and business partner of 40 years. Carl was choirmaster of the Lutheran Church of Honolulu for 38 years I saw a new heaven and a new earth; the first heaven and the first earth had all passed away, and the sea was no more. I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem coming down out of heaven prepared as a bride adorned. I heard a voice from the Throne saying: “I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.” God himself will be with them. He will wipe every tear from their eyes, and death shall be no more. I heard a great voice from the Throne saying, “Behold, the dwelling of God is with men; he will dwell with them, and they shall be his people.” To the thirsty I give water from the fountain of life. Night shall be no more, for the Lord God will be their light and they shall reign for ever. I heard a great voice from the Throne saying, “Behold, I am coming soon; I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end.” —Revelation 21:1-4, 6-7 3 Collect for the Departed Bishop The Lord be with you. Assembly And also with you. Bishop Let us pray. O God, whose mercies cannot be numbered: Accept our prayers on behalf of your servant Peter, and grant him an entrance into the land of light and joy, in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen. All are seated for the readings. THE LITURGY OF THE WORD After each reading, the lector says: Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s people. All respond Thanks be to God. First Reading Isaiah 58:1a, 8-12 Shout out, do not hold back! Lift up your voice like a trumpet! Then your light shall break forth like the dawn, and your healing shall spring up quickly; your vindicator shall go before you, the glory of the LORD shall be your rear guard. Then you shall call, and the LORD will answer; you shall cry for help, and he will say, Here I am. If you remove the yoke from among you, the pointing of the finger, the speaking of evil, if you offer your food to the hungry and satisfy the needs of the afflicted, then your light shall rise in the darkness and your gloom be like the noonday. The LORD will guide you continually, and satisfy your needs in parched places, and make your bones strong; and you shall be like a watered garden, like a spring of water, whose waters never fail. Your ancient ruins shall be rebuilt; you shall raise up the foundations of many generations; you shall be called the repairer of the breach, the restorer of streets to live in. Psalm 116:10-17 Hallock The cantor sings the antiphon; all repeat. The choir sings the verses; all repeat the antiphon. Copyright Ionian Arts, Inc. Used by permission How shall I repay the Lord for all the good things he has done for me? I will lift up the cup of salvation and call upon the Name of the Lord. ANTIPHON I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people. Precious in the sight of the Lord is the death of his servants. ANTIPHON O Lord, I am your servant; I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds. I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving and call upon the Name of the Lord. ANTIPHON I will fulfill my vows to the Lord in the presence of all his people, in the courts of the Lord’s house, in the midst of you, O Jerusalem. Hallelujah! ANTIPHON 4 Second Reading 1 Peter 1:22—2:9 You have been born anew, not of perishable but of imperishable seed, through the living and enduring word of God. For “All flesh is like grass and all its glory like the flower of grass. The grass withers, and the flower falls, but the word of the Lord endures forever.” That word is the good news that was announced to you. Rid yourselves, therefore, of all malice, and all guile, insincerity, envy, and all slander. Like newborn infants, long for the pure, spiritual milk, so that by it you may grow into salvation—if indeed you have tasted that the Lord is good. Come to him, a living stone, though rejected by mortals yet chosen and precious in God’s sight, and like living stones, let yourselves be built into a spiritual house, to be a holy priesthood, to offer spiritual sacrifices acceptable to God through Jesus Christ. For it stands in scripture: “See, I am laying in Zion a stone, a cornerstone chosen and precious; and whoever believes in him will not be put to shame.” To you then who believe, he is precious; but for those who do not believe, “The stone that the builders rejected has become the very head of the corner,” and “A stone that makes them stumble, and a rock that makes them fall.” They stumble because they disobey the word, as they were destined to do. But you are a chosen race, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, God’s own people, in order that you may proclaim the mighty acts of him who called you out of darkness into his marvelous light.
