Trinity College Chapel Deum Cuncti Quaerimus • “We seek God together” Illuminated manuscript by Neil Bromley All Saints’ Day November 4, 2018 - 12:30 p.m. As we commemorate All Saints’ Day this year, we will dedicate a memorial in the Crypt Chapel narthex that includes a hand-carved wood memorial case, two chandeliers, a custom-made leather portfolio box, and an illuminated manuscript by artist Neil Bromley, displayed on the cover of this order of service. The manuscript will sit alongside the list of names of persons interred in the Chapel memorial garden. Among our prayers this day will be a collect by sixteenth century Anglican priest and poet John Donne, which begins with the phrase, “Bring us, O Lord God, at our last awakening.” This prayer is the text around which the illuminated manuscript centers. The Chapel Singers will sing this text as set to music by composer William Harris. We honor beloved family and friends now at rest and offer praise for the fullness of life in the company of saints. We thank the many members of the Chapel community who provided gifts toward this memorial. t We welcome you to this service. Prelude Feuillets d’album Henriette Renié (1875–1956) I.

The Lessons First Lesson Isaiah 25:6-9 On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear. And he will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death forever. Then the LORD God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for the LORD has spoken. It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is the LORD for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation. Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to God's people. People Thanks be to God. Psalm 24 1 The earth is the LORD’ s and all that is in it, * the world and those who live in it; 2 for he has founded it on the seas, * and established it on the rivers. 3 Who shall ascend the hill of the LORD? * And who shall stand in his holy place? 4 Those who have clean hands and pure hearts, * who do not lift up their souls to what is false, and do not swear deceitfully. 5 They will receive blessing from the LORD, and vindication from the God of their salvation. 6 Such is the company of those who seek him, who seek the face of the God of Jacob. 7 Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. 8 Who is the King of glory? The LORD, strong and mighty, the LORD mighty in battle. 9 Lift up your heads, O gates! and be lifted up, O ancient doors! that the King of glory may come in. 10 Who is this King of glory? The LORD of hosts, he is the King of glory. Second Lesson Revelation 21:1-6a I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, “See, the home of God is among mortals. He will dwell with them as their God; they will be his peoples, and God himself will be with them; he will wipe every tear from their eyes. Death will be no more; mourning and crying and pain will be no more, for the first things have passed away." And the one who was seated on the throne said, “See, I am making all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these words are trustworthy and true." Then he said to me, “It is done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the end." Reader Hear what the Spirit is saying to the Churches. People Thanks be to God.

John 11:32-44 Reader The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John. People Glory to you, Lord Christ. 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 the Jews 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. So the Jews 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 upward 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." Reader The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord Christ. The Sermon The Reverend Allison Read College Chaplain and Dean of Spiritual & Religious Life The Nicene Creed The people stand as they are able, and all say together 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: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried.
