Holy Eucharist Sundays, Jan. 20-March 3, 2019 Trinity Church Boston

Welcome to the season of Epiphany at Trinity Church. This booklet will be your guide for Sunday worship through March 3. • The hymns are found in the blue Hymnal 1982. Please stand and sing all hymns. • Service music is found on the back cover. • The prayer for the Eucharist is found in the Book of Common Prayer. • The order of service and music selections for each Sunday may be found on the page for the day. • At Trinity, we mark the liturgical seasons with suitable variations. For the Epiphany season, the congregation will sing a Gloria, Sanctus, Lord’s Prayer, and Agnus Dei together. See back cover for music. • Listening devices are available from an usher.

From the East come scholars, observers of the natural world, inheritors of an ancient written tradition. They bear the accumulated wisdom of the world’s first great civilization. And now every civilization’s work has come to fruition. They all see it. In a poor rural village, the savior of the world is born. To the Jordan River comes John the Baptist. He tells the crowd to repent, to stir themselves. God is on the move, and the time is short. And suddenly a man steps forward whom they feel to be different from any they have known. His baptism is like a storm, like fire, like a flock of doves. They all see it. He is the one they have come seeking. To the house of prayer come ordinary people of an ordinary town. They gather to hear the words their God spoke long ago. Then a man gets up and begins to speak, and the words of the prophets come to life in his mouth. They all see it. The story they are listening to—it is about them. Epiphany is a season for noticing the signs of God on the move, in our time, in our place. Come with us and see.

As a hallmark of good stewardship of the earth and our resources, this booklet is designed to be reused each week. Please return to an usher as you depart. A PDF is available for download at trinitychurchboston.org/publications

9 am Anthem Edward Elgar (1857-1934) The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel to the poor: He hath sent me to heal the broken-hearted, to preach deliverance to the captives and recovering of sight to the blind, to preach the acceptable year of the Lord; to give unto them that mourn a garland for ashes, the oil of joy for mourning, the garment of praise for the spirit of heaviness; that they might be called trees of righteousness, the planting of the Lord, that he might be glorified. For as the earth bringeth forth her bud, and as the garden causeth the things that are sown in it to spring forth; so the Lord God will cause righteousness and praise to spring forth before all the nations – as the earth bringeth forth her bud. The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he hath anointed me to preach the Gospel. Isaiah 61:1-3 (echoed by Jesus in Luke 4:18-19)

11:15 am Anthem Edward Bairstow (1874-1946) Though I speak with the tongues of men and of angels, and have not charity, I am become as sounding brass, or a tinkling cymbal. And though I have the gift of prophecy, and understand all mysteries, and all knowledge; And though I have all faith, so that I could remove mountains, and have not charity, I am nothing. And though I bestow all my goods to feed the poor, and though I give my body to be burned, and have not charity, it profiteth me nothing. Charity suffereth long, and is kind; charity envieth not; charity vaunteth not itself, is not puffed up, 8 j Holy Eucharist season of epiphany at Trinity Church Boston February 3 Fourth Sunday after the epiphany Beareth all things, believeth all things, hopeth all things, endureth all things. Charity never faileth: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away. For now we see through a glass, darkly; but then face to face: Now I know in part; but then shall I know even as also I am known. And now abideth faith, hope and charity, but the greatest of these is charity. Text: 1 Corinthians 13:1-4, 7-8, 12-13

Postlude Fugue from Sonata on the 94th Psalm Julius Reubke (1834-1858)

On Today’s Music Julius Reubke (1834-1858), German pianist, organist and composer, born into a family of organbuilders, lived to be only 24 years old. Though his life was short, he produced two spectacular, major works. His piano sonata in B Minor and today’s postlude – the last of three movements from his Sonata on the 94th Psalm in C Minor for organ – are considered pinnacles of the Romantic keyboard repertoire. As a “symphonic poem”, the final movement of Reubke’s organ sonata is a turbulent, agitated, furious fugue, culminating in a massive ending that depicts divine judgement, as found in Psalm 94: 22-23. “But the Lord is my refuge: and my God is the strength of confidence. He shall recompense them their wickedness, and destroy them in their own malice.”

Greater love hath no man than this: That a man lay down his life for this friends. Who His own Self bare our sins in His own body on the tree, That we, being dead to sins, should live unto righteousness. Ye are washed, ye are sanctified, ye are justified In the Name of the Lord Jesus. Ye are a chosen generation, a royal priesthood, a holy nation, That ye should show forth the praises of Him who hath called you Out of darkness into His marvelous light. I beseech you, brethren, by the mercies of God, That ye present your bodies a living sacrifice, holy, acceptable to God, Which is your reasonable service. 14 j Holy Eucharist season of epiphany at Trinity Church Boston February 24 seventh Sunday after the epiphany 6 pm Anthem Music past silence Andrew Fletcher (b. 1950) Into the house of God, all furnished here with gilded effigy and painted light, we bring our heartful song the pale re- flection of his great love; praise upon praises piling like gathered waves, their cliff-hung waters’ weight the very force to mount them heavenward, in singing spray, to that most perfect house where praise to soundless harmony resolves, music past silence stretching up to God.

The Lord Almighty grant us a peaceful night and a perfect end. Amen. Our help is in the Name of the Lord; The maker of heaven and earth. O God, make speed to save us. O Lord, make haste to help us. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Alleluia. Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit; Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit; For you have redeemed me, O Lord, O God of truth. Into your hands, O Lord, I commend my spirit; Keep us, O Lord, as the apple of your eye; Hide us under the shadow of your wings. Lord, hear our prayer; And let our cry come to you. Let us pray. Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen. Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace.

Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation, Which thou hast prepared before the face of all people; To be a light to lighten the Gentiles and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit: as it was in the beginning, is now, and will be for ever. Amen. Nunc dimittis servum tuum, Domine Secundum verbum tuum in pace: Quia viderunt oculi mei salutare tuum Quod parasti ante faciem omnium populorum: Lumen ad revelationem gentium, Et gloriam plebis tuae Israel. Gloria Patri, et Filio, et Spiritui Sancto, Sicut erat in principio, et nunc, et semper, et in saecula saeculorum. Amen.

Guide us waking, O Lord, and guard us sleeping; that awake we may watch with Christ, and asleep we may rest in peace. Let us bless the Lord. Thanks be to God. The almighty and merciful Lord, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, bless us and keep us. Amen.
