O God, wherefore art thou absent from us so long : why is thy wrath so hot against the sheep of thy pasture? Psalm 74

COLLECT OF THE DAY Standing as you are able, the priest says the Collect, beginning The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit.
Almighty and merciful God, by whose grace alone thy faithful people offer thee service and praise: grant that we may hasten without stumbling toward the things that thou dost promise; through Jesus Christ, our Lord,
who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, ever one God, world without end.

RESPONSORIAL PSALM 15 Response: tone VI
LORD, who may dwell in your tabernacle? * who may abide upon your holy hill? Those who lead a blameless life and do what is right, * who speak the truth from their heart. Response. There is no guile upon their tongue; they do no evil to their friends; * they do not heap contempt upon their neighbours. In their sight the wicked is rejected, * but they honour those who fear the LORD. Response. They have sworn to do no wrong * and do not take back their word. They do not give their money in hope of gain, * nor do they take a bribe against the innocent. Those who do these things * shall never be overthrown. Response.
SECOND READING James 1.17-27

OFFERTORY ANTHEM
Teach me, O Lord, the way of thy statutes : and I shall keep it unto the end. Give me understanding, and I shall keep thy law : yea, I shall keep it with my whole heart. Make me to go in the path of thy commandements : for therein is my desire. Incline my heart unto thy testimonies : and not to covetousness. O turn away mine eyes, lest they behold vanity : and quicken me in thy ways. O stablish thy word in thy servant : that I may fear thee. Glory be to the Father, and to the Sun, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, and is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
William Byrd

The live stream broadcast is also available to watch on demand on our social media channels, for viewing at a later date. Very little of the live stream focuses specifically on the congregation, but at certain times some parts of the congregation will be visible to viewers. If you do not wish to be identifiable on our live stream, there are seats in the Lady Chapel which will not be filmed. Please ask a Welcomer or other church volunteer for directions if needed.
