Bach All remain seated in silence as the lights are dimmed Prelude on Es ist ein Ros’ entsprungen, Op. 122 No. 8 Johannes Brahms All stand as the lights are switched off at the end of the organ music CHOIR look from afar: and lo, I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth. I Go ye out to meet him and say: ‘Tell us, art thou he that should come to reign over thy people Israel?’ High and low, rich and poor, one with another, go ye out to meet him and say: ‘Tell us, art thou he that should come to reign over thy people Israel?’ Hear, O thou Shepherd of Israel, thou that leadest Joseph like a sheep. Tell us, art thou he that should come? Stir up thy strength, O Lord, and come to reign over thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. Words: Early medieval Roman rite (Matins Responsory for the First Sunday of Advent) Music: Richard Marlow All remain standing THE FIRST LESSON Genesis 1: 1–5, read by the Master God creates light, and separates it from darkness n the beginning God created the heaven and the earth. And the earth was without form, and void; and darkness was upon the face of the I deep. And the Spirit of God moved upon the face of the waters. And God said, Let there be light: and there was light. And God saw the light, that it was good: and God divided the light from the darkness. And God called the light Day, and the darkness he called Night. And the evening and the morning were the first day. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. A candle is lit and the light is passed from person to person A Chaplain says od said, Let there be lights in the firmament of the heaven to divide the day from the night; and let them be for signs, and for seasons, G and for days, and years. CHOIR reator of the stars of night, thy people’s everlasting light, C O Jesu, Saviour of us all, regard thy servants when they call. Thou, grieving at the bitter cry of all creation doomed to die, didst come to save a ruined race with healing gifts of heavenly grace. Thou cam’st, the Bridegroom of the bride, as drew the world to evening-tide; proceeding from a virgin shrine, the Son of Man, yet Lord divine. At thy great name, exalted now, all knees must bend, all hearts must bow, and things in heaven and earth shall own that thou art Lord and King alone. To thee, O holy One, we pray, our judge in that tremendous day, preserve us, while we dwell below, from every onslaught of the foe. All praise, eternal Son, to thee, whose advent sets thy people free, whom with the Father we adore, and Spirit blest, for evermore. Amen. Words: Anon., 7th century Music: ‘Conditor alme siderum’ (Mode iv) HYMN f the Father’s heart begotten, ere the world from chaos rose, O he is Alpha: from that Fountain all that is and hath been flows; he is Omega, of all things yet to come the mystic Close, evermore and evermore. By his word was all created; he commanded and was done; earth and sky and boundless ocean, universe of three in one, all that sees the moon’s soft radiance, all that breathes beneath the sun, evermore and evermore. He assumed this mortal body, frail and feeble, doomed to die, that the race from dust created might not perish utterly, which the dreadful law had sentenced in the depths of Hell to lie, evermore and evermore. O how blest that wondrous birthday, when the Maid the curse retrieved, brought to birth mankind’s salvation, by the Holy Ghost conceived; and the Babe, the world’s Redeemer, in her loving arms received, evermore and evermore. Sing, ye heights of heaven, his praises; Angels and Archangels, sing! Wheresoe’er ye be, ye faithful, let your joyous anthems ring, every tongue his name confessing, countless voices answering, evermore and evermore. Words: Prudentius (348–413), translated R. F. Davis (1866–1937) Music: melody from Piae Cantiones 1582, arr. Sir David Willcocks (b. 1919) BIDDING PRAYER Remain standing as the Dean of Chapel says eloved in Christ, as we prepare this Advent to celebrate the birth of the Christ Child, let us hear again in the words of the Scriptures B the story of God’s loving purpose in our creation and redemption. Let us bring to mind the goodness of God in calling the creation into his light; his mercy in Christ Jesus in drawing us from the darkness of sin; and his grace to us and to all sinners in summoning us by his Holy Spirit, as the dawn of his kingdom breaks upon us. But first let us pray for ourselves and for all people, acknowledging before God our sins and the sins of the world, bringing before him our needs and the needs of those who dwell in the darkness of sickness, injustice, want, and fear; commending to him especially those who live without the hope which we have in our Saviour Jesus Christ. These prayers we offer in his name who himself taught us to say: ur Father which art in heaven, O hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, in earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread; and forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive them that trespass against us; and lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen. HYMN ome, thou Redeemer of the earth, and manifest thy virgin birth: C let every age adoring fall; such birth befits the God of all. Begotten of no human will, but of the Spirit, thou art still the Word of God in flesh arrayed, the promised fruit to man displayed. The virgin womb that burden gained with virgin honour all sustained; the banners there of virtue glow; God in his temple dwells below. Forth from his chamber goeth he, that royal home of purity, a giant in twofold substance one, rejoicing now his course to run. O equal to the Father, thou! Gird on thy fleshly mantle now; the weakness of our mortal state with deathless might invigorate. All laud, eternal Son, to thee, whose advent sets thy people free, whom with the Father we adore, and Holy Ghost, for evermore. Amen. Words: St Ambrose of Milan (340–397) Music: Michael Praetorius (1571–1621), arranged Sir David Willcocks All sit THE SECOND LESSON Isaiah 11: 1–9, read by a Member of Staff The Prophet foretells the coming of God’s kingdom nd there shall come forth a rod out of the stem of Jesse, and a Branch shall grow out of his roots. And the spirit of the LORD shall A rest upon him, the spirit of wisdom and understanding, the spirit of counsel and might, the spirit of knowledge and of the fear of the LORD; and shall make him of quick understanding in the fear of the LORD: and he shall not judge after the sight of his eyes, neither reprove after the hearing of his ears: but with righteousness shall he judge the poor, and reprove with equity for the meek of the earth: and he shall smite the earth with the rod of his mouth, and with the breath of his lips shall he slay the wicked. And righteousness shall be the girdle of his loins, and faithfulness the girdle of his reins. The wolf also shall dwell with the lamb, and the leopard shall lie down with the kid; and the calf and the young lion and the fatling together; and a little child shall lead them. And the cow and the bear shall feed; their young ones shall lie down together: and the lion shall eat straw like the ox. And the sucking child shall play on the hole of the asp, and the weaned child shall put his hand on the cockatrice’ den. They shall not hurt nor destroy in all my holy mountain: for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of the LORD, as the waters cover the sea. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. CHOIR here is no rose of such virtue as is the rose that bare Jesu; Alleluia. T For in this rose contained was heaven and earth in little space; Res miranda. By that rose we may well see there be one God in persons three, Pares forma. The Angels sungen the shepherds to: Gloria in excelsis Deo: Gaudeamus.

Kirkhope Church. Memorial Service for those who have been ever been bereaved, to remember and celebrate the lives of those we have loved and lost. To be led by Rev Elspeth Harley. Good wishes from Ettrick and Yarrow locum minister Jim Wallace “A child is born to us! A son is given to us! And he will be our ruler. He will be called, “Wonderful Counsellor”, “Mighty God”, “Eternal Father”, “Prince of Peace.” So Isaiah, in an age of deep uncertainty and trouble in the land, brings to his people a promise from God to gladden their hearts, reassure them and point them to the Eternal Love of the One who holds them in his hands. It is a message that has inspired generations in similar circumstances and offered hope during the darkest times of history and, of course, it is one that came true when God sent His only Son, Jesus to be born in Bethlehem. At the beginning of this Advent Season, with all the uncertainty and trouble around us today, that message is as fresh and vital as ever. In our national life, on our local issues and in our family crises we often don’t know to whom we can turn for help.

William Henry Havergal (1793-1870), alt. A Bidding Prayer Beloved in Christ, in this season of Advent, let it be our care and delight to prepare ourselves to hear again the message of the Angels, and in heart and mind to go even unto Bethlehem, to see the Babe lying in a manger. Let us read and mark in Holy Scripture the tale of the loving purposes of God from the first days of our disobedience unto the glorious Redemption brought us by his holy Child; and let us look forward to the yearly remembrance of his birth with hymns and songs of praise. 2 But first, let us pray for the needs of the whole world; for peace and goodwill over all the earth; for the mission and unity of the Church, for which he died, and especially in this country and within this city. And because this of all things would rejoice his heart, let us at this time remember in his name the poor and the helpless; the hungry and the oppressed; the sick and those who mourn; the lonely and the unloved; the aged and the little children; and all those who know not the Lord Jesus, or who love him not, or who by sin have grieved his heart of love.
