O magnify the Lord with me, With me exalt his name; When in distress to him I called, He to my rescue came. The hosts of God encamp around The dwellings of the just; Deliverance he affords to all Who on his succour trust. 3 O make but trial of his love, Experience will decide How blest are they, and only they, Who in his truth confide. To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost, The God whom we adore, Be glory, as it was, is now, And shall be evermore. Amen. Tate and Brady New Version Sit First Reading Proverbs 9. 1–6 Read by Caroline Bennett. A reading from the book of Proverbs Wisdom has built her house, she has hewn her seven pillars. She has slaughtered her animals, she has mixed her wine, she has also set her table. She has sent out her servant-girls, she calls from the highest places in the town, ‘You that are simple, turn in here!’ To those without sense she says, ‘Come, eat of my bread and drink of the wine I have mixed. Lay aside immaturity, and live, and walk in the way of insight.’ This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God. 4 Responsorial Psalm Psalm 34. 9–14 At the beginning theR responseespon iss oplayedrial byP stheal morganist, 34 (sung1-8 by) theCW choir and then sung by the congregation.

Lions may lack and suffer hunger, but those who seek the Lord lack nothing that is good. R Come my children and listen to me; I will teach you the fear of the Lord. Who is there who delights in life and longs for days to enjoy good things? R Keep your tongue from evil and your lips from lying words. Turn from evil and do good; seek peace and pursue it. R Second Reading Ephesians 5. 15–20 Read by Guy Rowston. A reading from the letter of Paul to the Ephesians. Brothers and sisters, be careful then how you live, not as unwise people but as wise, making the most of the time, because the days are evil. So do not be foolish, but understand what the will of the Lord is. Do not get drunk with wine, for that is debauchery; but be filled with the Spirit, as you sing psalms and hymns and spiritual songs among yourselves, singing and making melody to the Lord in your hearts, giving thanks to God the Father at all times and for everything in the name of our Lord Jesus Christ. 5 This is the word of the Lord All Thanks be to God. Stand Gospel Acclamation Gospel Sentence The bread of God is he who comes down from heaven and gives life to the world. Gospel John 6. 51–58 Jesus said to the crowd: ‘I am the living bread that came down from heaven. Whoever eats of this bread will live for ever; and the bread that I will give for the life of the world is my flesh.’ The Jews then disputed among themselves, saying, ‘How can this man give us his flesh to eat?’ So Jesus said to them, ‘Very truly, I tell you, unless you eat the flesh of the Son of Man and drink his blood, you have no life in you. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood have eternal life, and I will raise them up on the last day; for my flesh is true food and my blood is true drink. Those who eat my flesh and drink my blood abide in me, and I in them. Just as the living Father sent me, and I live because of the Father, so whoever eats me will live because of me. This is the bread that came down from heaven, not like that which your ancestors ate, and they died. But the one who eats this bread will live for ever.’ Sit Sermon The Very Reverend Andrew Nunn, Dean Chorale Prelude Sit Intercessions Led by Sophie Henstridge. 6 Offertory Anthem Jesu dulcis memoria ∙ Tomás Luis de Victoria Jesu, dulcis memoria, O Jesu, the sweet thought of you dans vera cordi gaudia; gives true joy to the heart, sed super mel et omnia but above that of honey or of any thing ejus dulcis praesentia. is the sweetness of your presence. Durae premunt angustiae, Cruel straights hem us in, exaudi preces supplicum; hear the prayers of those who entreat you; fluunt amarae lacrymae; our tears flow bitter; exaudi vota pauperum. hear the prayers of the poor. Stand Offertory Hymn SP 216 (tune NEH 341 Franconia) Christ bids us break the bread and share the cup he gave, in token of the blood he shed for those he died to save. It was for us he came, to bear, by human birth, a crown of thorn, a cross of shame, for every child of earth. The Saviour crucified in glory rose again: we here remember him who died, ascended now to reign. Our hearts his word obey, in thankfulness and love: we feed on Christ by faith today and feast with him above. O Christ, once lifted up that we might be forgiven, we take the bread and drink the cup and share the life of heaven.
