ALL SAINTS’ SUNDAY November 5, 2017 – 3:00 p.m. WELCOME The Rev. Dr. Fairfax F. Fair *HYMN 210 Our God, Our Help in Ages Past ST. ANNE (*Please rise in body or spirit to sing) ANTHEM Psalm 90 Michael Burkhardt O Lord, throughout all generations you have been our strength and home. Before the mountains were born, Before the oceans and seas were brought to life, Before the oceans were birthed, for all eternity, you are. A thousand years in your sight are like an evening gone, Short as the watch that ends the night before the rising sun. O Lord, throughout all generations you have been our strength and home. O Lord, our Lord, forever and forevermore you are. Fashioned out of dust, to dust our bodies return. We fade away suddenly like the grass: in the morning it is green and flourishes; in the evening it is dried up and dies. The span our of our life is seventy years, perhaps in strength, even eighty— Yet the sum of them pass quickly and we are gone. Teach us how short our time is; let us know it in the depths of our souls. Show us that all things are transient, fleeting as dreams, And that after heaven and earth have vanished, there is only you. Fill us in the morning with your wisdom, shine through all our lives. Let our hearts soon grow transparent in your love, in the radiance of your love. Show us how precious each day is; teach us to be fully present Stephen Mitchell Isaac Watts PRAYER Eternal God, you alone are constant in this changing world. Grant us true wisdom of heart and guide us in serving you all the days of our lives; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. REQUIEM John Rutter 1.

O let thine ears consider well the voice of my complaint. If thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss, O Lord, who may abide it? For there is mercy with thee: therefore shalt thou be feared. I look for the Lord; my soul doth wait for him; and in his word is my trust. My soul fleeth unto the Lord before the morning watch; I say, before the morning watch. O Israel, trust in the Lord; for with the Lord there is mercy, and with him is plenteous redemption. And he shall redeem Israel from all his sins. Psalm 130 READING The Book of Revelation 21:1–15 This is the Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God. 3. PIE JESU Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem.

AGNUS DEI Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, Lamb of God who takest away the sin of the world, Dona eis requiem. Grant them rest. Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow.

Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, Lamb of God who takest away the sin of the world, Dona eis requiem sempiternam Grant them rest everlasting. I am the resurrection and the live, saith the Lord; he that believeth in me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in me shall never die. Latin text from Missa pro defunctis; English texts from the Burial Service, 1662 Book of Common Prayer 6. THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD The Lord is my shepherd: therefore can I lack nothing. He shall feed me in a green pasture: and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort. He shall convert my soul; and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, for his Name’s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil; for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff comfort me. Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me: thou hast anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. But thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: And I will dwell in the house of the Lord for ever. Psalm 23 7. LUX AETERNA Lorna Hildebrandt, soprano soloist I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, Blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, For they rest from their labors; even so saith the Spirit. Lux aeterna luceat eis Domine: Light eternal shine upon them, Lord, we pray: cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es. With saints and angels ever dwelling, for thy mercy’s sake, may they rest in pius. Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine: Grant them rest eternal, Lord our God, we pray to thee: Et lux perpetua luceat eis. And light perpetual shine on them for ever.
