Reading – John 12.20-36 Now among those who went up to worship at the festival were some Greeks. They came to Philip, who was from Bethsaida in Galilee, and said to him, ‘Sir, we wish to see Jesus.’ Philip went and told Andrew; then Andrew and Philip went and told Jesus. Jesus answered them, ‘The hour has come for the Son of Man to be glorified. Very truly, I tell you, unless a grain of wheat falls into the earth and dies, it remains just a single grain; but if it dies, it bears much fruit. Those who love their life lose it, and those who hate their life in this world will keep it for eternal life. Whoever serves me must follow me, and where I am, there will my servant be also. Whoever serves me, the Father will honour. ‘Now my soul is troubled. And what should I say—“Father, save me from this hour”? No, it is for this reason that I have come to this hour. Father, glorify your name.’ Then a voice came from heaven, ‘I have glorified it, and I will glorify it again.’ The crowd standing there heard it and said that it was thunder. Others said, ‘An angel has spoken to him.’ Jesus answered, ‘This voice has come for your sake, not for mine. Now is the judgement of this world; now the ruler of this world will be driven out. And I, when I am lifted up from the earth, will draw all people to myself.’ He said this to indicate the kind of death he was to die. The crowd answered him, ‘We have heard from the law that the Messiah remains for ever. How can you say that the Son of Man must be lifted up? Who is this Son of Man?’ Jesus said to them, ‘The light is with you for a little longer. Walk while you have the light, so that the darkness may not overtake you. If you walk in the darkness, you do not know where you are going. While you have the light, believe in the light, so that you may become children of light.’
Psalm 71.1-6 1. In you, O Lord, do I seek refuge : let me never be put to shame. 2. In your righteousness, deliver me and set me free : incline your ear to me and save me. 3. Be for me a stronghold to which I may ever resort : send out to save me, for you are my rock and my fortress. 4. Deliver me, my God, from the hand of the wicked : from the grasp of the evildoer and the oppressor. 5. For you are my hope, O Lord God : my confidence, even from my youth. 6. Upon you have I leaned from my birth, when you drew me from my mother’s womb : my praise shall be always of you. Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Spirit : as it was in the beginning is now and shall be for ever. Amen.

Hymn 1. When God Almighty came to earth, he took the pain of Jesus’ birth, he took the flight of refugee, and whispered: ‘Humbly follow me.’
4. When God Almighty met the folk, of peace and truth he gladly spoke to set the slave and tyrant free, and whispered: ‘Humbly follow me.’
2. When God Almighty went to work, carpenter’s sweat he did not shirk, profit and loss he did not flee, but whispered: ‘Humbly follow me.’
5. When God Almighty took his place to save the fallen, human race, he took it boldly on a tree, and whispered: ‘Humbly follow me.’
3. When God Almighty walked the street, the critic’s curse he had to meet, the cynic’s smile he had to see, and whispered: ‘Humbly follow me.’
6. When God Almighty comes again, he’ll meet us incognito as then; and though no words may voice his plea, he’ll whisper: ‘Are you following me?’
