Still the weary folk are pining For the hour that brings release: And the city’s crowded clangour Cries aloud for sin to cease; And the homesteads and the woodlands Plead in silence for their peace. 3 Crown, O God, thine own endeavour; Cleave our darkness with thy sword; Feed the faithless and the hungry With the richness of thy word: Cleanse the body of this nation Through the glory of the Lord. Henry Scott Holland Sit First Reading Deuteronomy 5. 12–15 Read by Philip Feakin. A reading from the book of Deuteronomy. The Lord says this: Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. For six days you shall labour and do all your work. But the seventh day is a sabbath to the Lord your God; you shall not do any work—you, or your son or your daughter, or your male or female slave, or your ox or your donkey, or any of your livestock, or the resident alien in your towns, so that your male and female slave may rest as well as you. Remember that you were a slave in the land of Egypt, and the Lord your God brought you out from there with a mighty hand and an outstretched arm; therefore the Lord your God commanded you to keep the sabbath day. This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God. 4 Responsorial Psalm Psalm 81. 1–10 At the beginning the response is played by the organist, sung by the choir and then sung by the congregation. It is sung once by all at R below. O sing a new song un - to the Lord! Sing merrily to God our strength, shout for joy to the God of Jacob. Take up the song and sound the timbrel, the tuneful lyre with the harp. R Blow the trumpet at the new moon, as at the full moon, upon our solemn feast day. For this is a statute for Israel, a law of the God of Jacob. R The charge he laid on the people of Joseph, when they came out of the land of Egypt. I heard a voice I did not know, that said: ‘I eased their shoulder from the burden; their hands were set free from bearing the load. R ‘You called upon me in trouble and I delivered you; I answered you from the secret place of thunder and proved you at the waters of Meribah. ‘Hear, O my people, and I will admonish you: O Israel, if you would but listen to me! R ‘There shall be no strange god among you; you shall not worship a foreign god. ‘I am the Lord your God, who brought you up from the land of Egypt; open your mouth wide and I shall fill it.’R 5 Second Reading 2 Corinthians 4. 5–12 Read by Guy Rowston. A reading from the second letter of Paul to the Corinthians. We do not proclaim ourselves; we proclaim Jesus Christ as Lord and ourselves as your slaves for Jesus’ sake. For it is the God who said, ‘Let light shine out of darkness’, who has shone in our hearts to give the light of the knowledge of the glory of God in the face of Jesus Christ. But we have this treasure in clay jars, so that it may be made clear that this extraordinary power belongs to God and does not come from us. We are afflicted in every way, but not crushed; perplexed, but not driven to despair; persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed; always carrying in the body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be made visible in our bodies. For while we live, we are always being given up to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may be made visible in our mortal flesh. So death is at work in us, but life in you. This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God. Stand Gospel Acclamation Gospel Sentence Observe the sabbath day and keep it holy, as the Lord your God commanded you. 6 Gospel Mark 2. 23 – 3.6 One sabbath Jesus was going through the cornfields; and as they made their way his disciples began to pluck heads of grain. The Pharisees said to him, ‘Look, why are they doing what is not lawful on the sabbath?’ And he said to them, ‘Have you never read what David did when he and his companions were hungry and in need of food? He entered the house of God, when Abiathar was high priest, and ate the bread of the Presence, which it is not lawful for any but the priests to eat, and he gave some to his companions.’ Then he said to them, ‘The sabbath was made for humankind, and not humankind for the sabbath; so the Son of Man is lord even of the sabbath.’ Again he entered the synagogue, and a man was there who had a withered hand. They watched him to see whether he would cure him on the sabbath, so that they might accuse him. And he said to the man who had the withered hand, ‘Come forward.’ Then he said to the Parisees, ‘Is it lawful to do good or to do harm on the sabbath, to save life or to kill?’ But they were silent. He looked around at them with anger; he was grieved at their hardness of heart and said to the man, ‘Stretch out your hand.’ He stretched it out, and his hand was restored. The Pharisees went out and immediately conspired with the Herodians against him, how to destroy him.
