8:00am Holy Communion 10:30am Parish Communion* The Order of Service is contained in the separate Service Book.

Opening Hymn* 1. Jesus calls us: o’er the tumult of our life’s wild restless sea, day by day his sweet voice soundeth, saying, ‘Christian, follow me’:

3. Jesus calls us from the worship of the vain world’s golden store, from each idol that would keep us, saying, ‘Christian, love Me more.’

2. As of old Saint Andrew heard it by the Galilean lake, turned from home and toil and kindred leaving all for his dear sake.

4. In our joys and in our sorrows, days of toil and hours of ease, still he calls, in cares and pleasures, that we love him more than these.

5. Jesus calls us: by thy mercies, Saviour, make us hear thy call, give our hearts to thine obedience, serve and love thee best of all. Words: Cecil Frances Alexander (1818-1895) Music: St Andrew, Edward Henry Thorne (1834-1916) (Ancient & Modern – 324)

Gloria 1. All glory be to God on high, his peace on earth proclaim; to all his people tell abroad the grace and glory of the Lord, and bless his holy name, and bless his holy name.

3. O Christ, the Father’s only Son, O Lamb enthroned on high, O Jesus, who for sinners died and reigns at God the Father’s side, in mercy hear our cry, in mercy hear our cry.

2. In songs of thankfulness and praise our hearts their homage bring to worship him who reigns above almighty Father, Lord of love, our God and heavenly King, our God and heavenly King,.

4. Most high and holy is the Lord, most high his heavenly throne; where God the Father, God the Son and God the Spirit, ever one, in glory reigns alone, in glory reigns alone. Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b 1926) Music: Repton, C H H Parry (1848-1918) (Hymns for Today’s Church – 606) © Timothy Dudley-Smith

Collect Almighty Lord and everlasting God, we beseech you to direct, sanctify and govern both our hearts and bodies in the ways of your laws and the works of your commandments; that through your most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen.

First Reading – 1 Kings 19.9-18 When Elijah reached Horeb, the mountain of God, he came to a cave, and spent the night there. Then the word of the LORD came to him, saying, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ He answered, ‘I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.’ He said, ‘Go out and stand on the mountain before the LORD, for the LORD is about to pass by.’ Now there was a great wind, so strong that it was splitting mountains and breaking rocks in pieces before the LORD, but the LORD was not in the wind; and after the wind an earthquake, but the LORD was not in the earthquake; and after the earthquake a fire, but the LORD was not in the fire; and after the fire a sound of sheer silence. When Elijah heard it, he wrapped his face in his mantle and went out and stood at the entrance of the cave. Then there came a voice to him that said, ‘What are you doing here, Elijah?’ He answered, ‘I have been very zealous for the LORD, the God of hosts; for the Israelites have forsaken your covenant, thrown down your altars, and killed your prophets with the sword. I alone am left, and they are seeking my life, to take it away.’ Then the LORD said to him, ‘Go, return on your way to the wilderness of Damascus; when you arrive, you shall anoint Hazael as king over Aram. Also you shall anoint Jehu son of Nimshi as king over Israel; and you shall anoint Elisha son of Shaphat of Abel-meholah as prophet in your place. Whoever escapes from the sword of Hazael, Jehu shall kill; and whoever escapes from the sword of Jehu, Elisha shall kill. Yet I will leave seven thousand in Israel, all the knees that have not bowed to Baal, and every mouth that has not kissed him.’

Second Reading – Romans 10.5-15 Moses writes concerning the righteousness that comes from the law, that ‘the person who does these things will live by them.’ But the righteousness that comes

from faith says, ‘Do not say in your heart, “Who will ascend into heaven?”’ (that is, to bring Christ down) ‘or “Who will descend into the abyss?”’ (that is, to bring Christ up from the dead). But what does it say? ‘The word is near you, on your lips and in your heart’ (that is, the word of faith that we proclaim); because if you confess with your lips that Jesus is Lord and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For one believes with the heart and so is justified, and one confesses with the mouth and so is saved. The scripture says, ‘No one who believes in him will be put to shame.’ For there is no distinction between Jew and Greek; the same Lord is Lord of all and is generous to all who call on him. For, ‘Everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ But how are they to call on one in whom they have not believed? And how are they to believe in one of whom they have never heard? And how are they to hear without someone to proclaim him? And how are they to proclaim him unless they are sent? As it is written, ‘How beautiful are the feet of those who bring good news!’

Gradual Hymn* 1. How sweet the name of Jesus sounds in a believer’s ear! It soothes his sorrows, heals his wounds, and drives away his fear.

4. Jesus! my Shepherd, Brother, Friend, my Prophet, Priest and King, my Lord, my Life, my Way, my End, accept the praise I bring.

2. It makes the wounded spirit whole, and calms the troubled breast; ’tis manna to the hungry soul, and to the weary rest.

5. Weak is the effort of my heart, and cold my warmest thought; but when I see thee as thou art, I’ll praise thee as I ought.

3. Dear name! the rock on which I build, my shield and hiding-place, my never-failing treasury filled with boundless stores of grace.

6. Till then I would thy love proclaim with every fleeting breath; and may the music of thy name refresh my soul in death.

Word: John Newton (1725-1807) Music: St Peter, Alexander Robert Reinagle (1799-1877) (Ancient & Modern – 664)

Gospel – Matthew 14.22-33 Immediately after feeding the crowd with the five loaves and two fish, Jesus made the disciples get into the boat and go on ahead to the other side, while he dismissed the crowds. And after he had dismissed the crowds, he went up the mountain by himself to pray. When evening came, he was there alone, but by this time the boat, battered by the waves, was far from the land, for the wind was against them. And early in the morning he came walking towards them on the lake. But when the disciples saw him walking on the lake, they were terrified, saying, ‘It is a ghost!’ And they cried out in

fear. But immediately Jesus spoke to them and said, ‘Take heart, it is I; do not be afraid.’ Peter answered him, ‘Lord, if it is you, command me to come to you on the water.’ He said, ‘Come.’ So Peter got out of the boat, started walking on the water, and came towards Jesus. But when he noticed the strong wind, he became frightened, and beginning to sink, he cried out, ‘Lord, save me!’ Jesus immediately reached out his hand and caught him, saying to him, ‘You of little faith, why did you doubt?’ When they got into the boat, the wind ceased. And those in the boat worshipped him, saying, ‘Truly you are the Son of God.’

Offertory Hymns* 1. At the name of Jesus every knee shall bow, every tongue confess him King of glory now: ‘tis the Father’s pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word.

3. Name him, Christians, name Him, with love strong as death, but with awe and wonder and with bated breath: he is God the Saviour, he is Christ the Lord, ever to be worshipped, trusted and adored.

2. Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners unto whom he came, faithfully he bore it spotless to the last, brought it back victorious, when from death he passed:

4. Surely, this Lord Jesus shall return again, with his Father’s glory, with his angel train; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him King of glory now.

Words: Caroline Maria Noel (1817-1877) Music: Camberwell, John Michael Brierley (b 1932) (Ancient & Modern – 593)

Communion Anthem* Save me O God, for thy name’s sake, and avenge me in thy strength. Hear my prayer, O God, for strangers are risen up against me, and tyrants, which have not God before their eyes, seek after my soul. Behold, God is my helper, the Lord is with them that uphold my soul. An off’ring of a free heart I give thee, and praise thy name, O Lord, because it is so comfortable. For he hath deliver’d me out of all my trouble, and mine eyes have seen his desire upon mine enemies. Words: Psalm 54.1-4,6-7 Music: Henry Purcell (1659-1695) Sung by the King’s Consort

Post Communion Prayer Strengthen for service, Lord, the hands that have taken holy things; may the ears which have heard your word be deaf to clamour and dispute; may the tongues which have sung your praise be free from deceit; may the eyes which have seen the tokens of your love shine with the light of hope; and may the bodies which have been fed with your body be refreshed with the fullness of your life; glory to you for ever. Amen.

Final Hymn* 1. Go forth and tell! O church of God, awake! God's saving news to all the nations take; proclaim Christ Jesus, saviour, Lord, and king, that all the world his worthy praise may sing. 2. Go forth and tell! God's love embraces all; he will in grace respond to all who call: how shall they call if they have never heard the gracious invitation of his word? 3. Go forth and tell! The doors are open wide: share God's good gifts let no one be denied; live out your life as Christ your Lord shall choose, your ransomed powers for his sole glory use. 4. Go forth and tell! O church of God, arise! go in the strength which Christ your Lord supplies; go till all nations his great name adore and serve him, Lord and king for evermore Words: James Seddon (1915-1983) Music: Woodlands, Walter Greatorex (1877-1949) © The Representatives of the late James Edward Seddon / admin The Jubilate Group (Ancient & Modern – 477
