ORDER OF SERVICE
¶Stand for the entry of the Choir and Clergy
GREETING
President Grace, mercy and peace from God our Father
and the Lord Jesus Christ be with you,
All and also with you.
The CONFESSION ¶Remain Standing
Assistant Let us confess to God the sins and shortcomings of the
world; its pride, its selfishness, its greed;
its evil divisions and hatreds.
Let us confess our share in what is wrong,
and our failure to seek and establish that peace
which God wills for his children.
Gospeller Hear the holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Saint
John.
All Glory to you, O Lord.
Jesus said to his disciples. ‘As the Father has loved me, so I have loved you;
abide in my love. If you keep my commandments, you will abide in my love,
just as I have kept my Father’s commandments and abide in his love. I have
said these things to you so that my joy may be in you, and that your joy may
be complete.
‘This is my commandment, that you love one another as I have loved you. No
one has greater love than this, to lay down one’s life for one’s friends. You are
my friends if you do what I command you. I do not call you servants any
longer, because the servant does not know what the master is doing; but I
have called you friends, because I have made known to you everything that I
have heard from my Father. You did not choose me but I chose you. And I
appointed you to go and bear fruit, fruit that will last, so that the Father will
give you whatever you ask him in my name. I am giving you these commands
so that you may love one another’.
Gospeller This is the Gospel of the the Lord.
All Praise to you, O Christ.
They shall grow not old as we that are left grow old:
age shall not weary them, nor the years condemn.
At the going down of the sun and in the morning,
we will remember them.
Words Laurence Binyon Music Douglas Guest
(1869–1943) (1916–1996)
Merciful Father,
All accept these prayers
for the sake of your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
¶Kneel or sit
President Lord, you are holy indeed, the source of all holiness;
grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit,
and according to your holy will,
these gifts of bread and wine
may be to us the body and blood of our Lord Jesus Christ;
who, in the same night that he was betrayed,
took bread and gave you thanks;
he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying:
Take, eat; this is my body which is given for you;
do this in remembrance of me.
In the same way, after supper
he took the cup and gave you thanks;
he gave it to them, saying:
Drink this, all of you;
this is my blood of the new covenant,
which is shed for you and for many
for the forgiveness of sins.
Do this, as often as you drink it,
In remembrance of me.
President Great is the mystery of faith:
All Christ has died,
Christ is risen,
Christ will come again.
President And so, Father, calling to mind his death on the cross,
his perfect sacrifice made once for the sins
of the whole world;
rejoicing in his mighty resurrection
and glorious ascension,
and looking for his coming in glory,
we celebrate this memorial of our redemption.
As we offer you this our sacrifice of praise
and thanksgiving,
we bring before you this bread and this cup
and we thank you for counting us worthy
to stand in your presence and serve you.
Send the Holy Spirit on your people
and gather into one in your kingdom
all who share this one bread and one cup,
so that we, in the company of St John the Evangelist
and all the saints,
may praise and glorify you for ever,
through Jesus Christ our Lord;
by whom, and with whom, and in whom,
in the unity of the Holy Spirit,
all honour and glory be yours, almighty Father,
for ever and ever.
All Amen.

The AGNUS DEI, LUX AETERNA and LIBERA ME are sung by the Choir :
Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine, cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es.
Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine, et lux perpetua luceat eis.
Let light perpetual shine upon them, Lord, with your saints for ever, for you are holy.
Rest eternal grant them, Lord, and let light perpetual shine upon them.
