American composer Rossetter G. Cole was born in rural Michigan, but traveled to Berlin as a young man, to study organ and composition. He returned to the Midwest to teach and compose, but today, his music is rarely heard; if he is remembered, it is mostly for teaching George Gershwin. This triumphant, exulting Rhapsody is filled with the early-jazz harmonies and singable melodies that would characterize Gershwin’s beloved works.

The Collect of the Day Celebrant The Lord be with you. People And also with you. Celebrant Let us pray. O God, who before the passion of your only begotten Son revealed his glory upon the holy mountain: Grant to us that we, beholding by faith the light of his countenance, may be strengthened to bear our cross, and be changed into his likeness from glory to glory; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Seated
The Lesson Exodus 34:29-35 Moses came down from Mount Sinai. As he came down from the mountain with the two tablets of the covenant in his hand, Moses did not know that the skin of his face shone because he had been talking with God. When Aaron and all the Israelites saw Moses, the skin of his face was shining, and they were afraid to come near him. But Moses called to them; and Aaron and all the leaders of the congregation returned to him, and Moses spoke with them. Afterward all the Israelites came near, and he gave them in commandment all that the LORD had spoken with him on Mount Sinai. When Moses had finished speaking with them, he put a veil on his face; but whenever Moses went in before the LORD to speak with him, he would take the veil off, until he came out; and when he came out, and told the Israelites what he had been commanded, the Israelites would see the face of Moses, that the skin of his face was shining; and Moses would put the veil on his face again, until he went in to speak with him.

Psalm 99:1-7,9
Charles Stanford
Chanted by the Choir
The LORD is King; let the people tremble; * he is enthroned upon the cherubim; let the earth shake. The LORD is great in Zion; * he is high above all peoples. Let them confess his Name, which is great and awesome; * he is the Holy One. “O mighty King, lover of justice, you have established equity; * you have executed justice and righteousness in Jacob.” Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God and fall down before his footstool; * he is the Holy One. Moses and Aaron among his priests, and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, * they called upon the LORD, and he answered them. He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; * they kept his testimonies and the decree that he gave them. Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God and worship him upon his holy hill; * for the LORD our God is the Holy One. Sequence Hymn Hymn 137 “O wondrous type, O vision fair”

The Gospel Gospeler People
Luke 9:28-36 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. Glory to you, Lord Christ.
Jesus took with him Peter and John and James, and went up on the mountain to pray. And while he was praying, the appearance of his face changed, and his clothes became dazzling white. Suddenly they saw two men, Moses and Elijah, talking to him. They appeared in glory and were speaking of his departure, which he was about to accomplish at Jerusalem. Now Peter and his companions were weighed down with sleep; but since they had stayed awake, they saw his glory and the two men who stood with him. Just as they were leaving him, Peter said to Jesus, “Master, it is good for us to be here; let us make three dwellings, one for you, one for Moses, and one for Elijah”-not knowing what he said. While he was saying this, a cloud came and overshadowed them; and they were terrified as they entered the cloud. Then from the cloud came a voice that said, “This is my Son, my Chosen; listen to him!” When the voice had spoken, Jesus was found alone. And they kept silent and in those days told no one any of the things they had seen. Gospeler People Seated Standing, spoken by All

The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.
The Sermon The Nicene Creed We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
The Rev. Dr. Christopher D. Girata
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen. Prayers of the People Form IV Celebrant Let us pray for the Church and for the world. Lector People

The Holy Communion Offertory Anthem Christ, whose glory fills the skies
T. Frederick H. Candlyn
Teach Christ, whose glory fills the skies, Christ, the true and only Light, Sun of righteousness, arise! Triumph o’er the shade of night: Day-spring from on high, be near; Day-star, in my heart appear. Dark and cheerless is the morn Unaccompanied by thee; Joyless is the day’s return, Till thy mercy’s beams I see; Till they inward light impart, Glad my eyes and warm my heart. Visit then this soul of mine! Pierce the gloom of sin and grief ! Fill me, Radiancy Divine; Scatter all my unbelief; More and more thyself display, Shining to the perfect day!
T. Frederick Candlyn was born in Davenham, Cheshire, England, in 1892 and died in Point Lookout, N.Y., in 1964. In 1942, Candlyn set the text, Christ whose glory fills the skies, written much earlier by poet Charles Wesley in 1740. Wesley was educated at Oxford, where, in 1727, he formed the “Oxford Methodist” group among his fellow students. His elder brother, John joined in 1729, and together, they established what is now the United Methodist Church.

The Lord be with you. And also with you. Lift up your hearts. We lift them to the Lord. Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him thanks and praise.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name: Sanctus and Benedictus: Hymn S 128
William Mathias
We give thanks to you, O God, for the goodness and love which you have made known to us in creation; in the calling of Israel to be your people; in your Word spoken through the prophets; and above all in the Word made flesh, Jesus, your Son. For in these last days you sent him to be incarnate from the Virgin Mary, to be the Savior and Redeemer of the world. In him, you have delivered us from evil, and made us worthy to stand before you. In him, you have brought us out of error into truth, out of sin into righteousness, out of death into life.

Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.” Therefore, according to his command, O Father, We remember his death, We proclaim his resurrection, We await his coming in glory;

We pray you, gracious God, to send your Holy Spirit upon these gifts that they may be the Sacrament of the Body of Christ and his Blood of the new Covenant. Unite us to your Son in his sacrifice, that we may be acceptable through him, being sanctified by the Holy Spirit. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us to that heavenly country where, with Saint Michael and all your saints, we may enter the everlasting heritage of your sons and daughters; through Jesus Christ our Lord, the firstborn of all creation, the head of the Church, and the author of our salvation.

Vierne’s last symphony for organ represents a conquering of life’s tragedies. Having suffered through significant losses in his career, personal life, and health, Vierne found inspiration in the warm weather and sun of France’s south when he wrote it in summer of 1930. Jazz harmonies, notorious B Major scales for the organist’s feet, and a strikingly extroverted atmosphere characterize the Finale.
