The Lord be with you. And with thy spirit. Let us pray.
Almighty God, who on this day didst open the way of eternal life to every race and nation by the promised gift of thy Holy Spirit: Shed abroad this gift throughout the world by the preaching of the Gospel, that it may reach to the ends of the earth; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity of the same Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

O LORD, how manifold are your / works! * in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your / creatures. Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to / number, * creatures both small and / great. There move the ships, and there is that Le/viathan, * which you have made for the / sport of it. All of them look to / you * to give them their food in due / season. You give it to them; they / gather it; * you open your hand, and they are filled with / good things. You hide your face, and they are / terrified; * you take away their breath, and they die and return to their / dust. You send forth your Spirit, and they are cre/ated; * and so you renew the face of the / earth. May the glory of the LORD endure for / ever; * may the LORD rejoice in all his / works. He looks at the earth and it / trembles; * he touches the mountains and they / smoke. I will sing to the LORD as long as I / live; * I will praise my God while I have my / being. May these words of mine / please him; * I will rejoice in the / LORD. Bless the LORD, O my / soul. * Halle/lujah!

At the Offertory 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. — Luke 4:18-19, Isaiah 61:3, 11

At the Administration Anthem
Harold W. Friedell (1905-1958)
Draw us in the Spirit’s tether; For when humbly, in thy name, Two or three are met together, Thou art in the midst of them: Alleluya! Touch we now thy garment’s hem.
As the brethren used to gather In the name of Christ to sup, Then with thanks to God the Father Break the bread and bless the cup, Alleluya! So knit thou our friendship up.
All our meals and all our living Make as sacraments of thee, That by caring, helping, giving, We may true disciples be. Alleluya! We will serve thee faithfully. — Percy Dearmer (1867-1936)

Music Notes “Draw us in the Spirit’s tether,” today’s communion anthem, was composed by Harold Friedell while Organist and Choirmaster at New York’s famed St. Bartholomew’s Episcopal Church on Park Avenue. The text is by the English hymnodist and cleric Percy Dearmer (1867-1936). Friedell’s setting has become one of the most enduring sacred works of the mid-20th century. He named the tune “Union Seminary” in honor of the School of Sacred Music at Union Theological Seminary where he taught for many years. In 1958 the young Organist and Choirmaster at Christ Church, Houston, Jack Osewaarde, became his successor St. Bart’s. — RLS Music Notes will return in September
Readings this Week from the Revised Common Lectionary The Reading from the Acts of the Apostles
Acts 2:1–21
When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs — in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine

continued from previous page o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: ‘In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’”
The Epistle
Romans 8:14–17
All who are led by the Spirit of God are children of God. For you did not receive a spirit of slavery to fall back into fear, but you have received a spirit of adoption. When we cry, “Abba! Father!” it is that very Spirit bearing witness with our spirit that we are children of God, and if children, then heirs, heirs of God and joint heirs with Christ — if, in fact, we suffer with him so that we may also be glorified with him.
The Gospel
John 14:8–17, 25–27
Philip said to Jesus, “Lord, show us the Father, and we will be satisfied.” Jesus said to him, “Have I been with you all this time, Philip, and you still do not know me? Whoever has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, `Show us the Father’? Do you not believe that I am in the Father and the Father is in me? The words that I say to you I do not speak on my own; but the Father who dwells in me does his works. Believe me that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; but if you do not, then believe me because of the works themselves. Very truly, I tell you, the one who believes in me will also do the works that I do and, in fact, will do greater works than these, because I am going to the Father. I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son. If in my name you ask me for anything, I will do it. If you love me, you will keep my commandments. And I will ask the Father, and he will give you another Advocate, to be with you forever. This is the Spirit of truth, whom the world cannot receive, because it neither sees him nor knows him. You know him, because he abides with you, and he will be in you.” I have said these things to you while I am still with you. But the Advocate, the Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, will teach you everything, and remind you of all that I have said to you. Peace I leave with you; my peace I give to you. I do not give to you as the world gives. Do not let your hearts be troubled, and do not let them be afraid.”
