Entrance Hymn 537 “In the cross of Christ I glory”
Service Music: New Plainsong – David Hurd
The Penitential Rite
The sacrifice of God is a broken and contrite heart. O God, you
will not despise.
Dear friends in Christ, as we prepare to worship almighty God,
let us with penitent and obedient hearts confess our sins, that we
may obtain forgiveness by God’s infinite goodness and mercy.
Silence
All: Most merciful God, we confess that we have sinned
against you in thought, word and deed, by what we have
done and by what we have left undone. We have not loved
you with our whole heart; we have not loved our neighbours
as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we humbly repent.
For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and
forgive us, that we may delight in your will, and walk in
your ways to the glory of your name. Amen.

3. The Absolution
Presider: Almighty God, have mercy upon you, pardon and
deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all
goodness, and keep you in eternal life; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
Kyrie eleison Lord, have mercy
Christe eleison Christ, Have mercy
Kyrie eleison Lord, have mercy
Collect for the Day: Almighty God, whose Son was revealed
in majesty before he suffered death upon the cross, give us
faith to perceive his glory, that being strengthened by his
grace we may be changed into his likeness, from glory to
glory; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and for ever. Amen.

A READING FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS 15:1–12, 17–18
Read by Sue Ann Elite
After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a
vision, “Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward
shall be very great.” But Abram said, “O Lord God, what will
you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house
is Eliezer of Damascus?” And Abram said, “You have given me
no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir.”
But the word of the Lord came to him, “This man shall not be
your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir.”
He brought him outside and said, “Look toward heaven and
count the stars, if you are able to count them.” Then he said to

4. him, “So shall your descendants be.” And he believed the Lord;
and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness. Then he said
to him, “I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the
Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess.” But he said, “O
Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it?” He said to
him, “Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three
years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young
pigeon.” He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying
each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in
two. Anwhen birds of prey came down on the carcasses,
Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep
sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and terrifying darkness
descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and it was
dark, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between
these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram,
saying, “To your descendants I give this land, from the river of
Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates.”
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.
PSALM 27 (sung)
The LORD is my light and my salvation / whom then shall I
fear? *
the LORD is the strength of my life / of whom then shall I be
a-fraid?
When evildoers came upon me to eat up my flesh, *
it was they my foes and my adversaries who stum-bled and
fell.
Though an army should encamp a-gainst me, *
yet my heart shall not be a-fraid;
And though war should rise up a-gainst me, *
yet will I put my trust in him.
One thing have I asked of the LORD / one thing I seek; *

5. that I may dwell in the house of the LORD all the days of my
life;
To behold the fair beauty of the LORD *
and to seek him in his tem-ple.
For in the day of trouble he shall keep me safe in his shel-ter;*
he shall hide me in the secrecy of his dwelling and set me high
u-pon a rock.
Even now he lifts up my head *
above my enemies round a-bout me.
Therefore I will offer in his dwelling an oblation with sounds
of great glad-ness; *
I will sing and make mu-sic to the LORD.
Hearken to my voice O LORD when I call; *
have mercy on me and an-swer me.
You speak in my heart and say “Seek my face.” *
Your face LORD will I seek.
Hide not your face from me, *
nor turn away your servant in dis-plea-sure.
You have been my helper cast me not a-way; *
do not forsake me O God of my sal-va-tion.
Though my father and my mother for-sake me, *
the LORD will sus-tain me.
Show me your way O LORD; *
lead me on a level path because of my e-ne-mies.
Deliver me not into the hand of my ad-ver-sar-ies, *
for false witnesses have risen up against me and also those
who speak ma-lice.
What if I had not believe that I should see the goodness of the
LORD *
in the land of the li-ving!
O tarry and await the LORD’S pleasure / be strong and he
shall comfort your heart; *

6. wait pa-tient-ly for the LORD.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world with-out end A-men.
A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE
PHILIPPIANS 3:17—4:1 read by Darryl Nakamoto
Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those
who live according to the example you have in us. For many
live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of
them, and now I tell you even with tears. Theiend is destruction;
their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their
minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven,
and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord
Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that
it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that
also enables him to make all things subject to himself.
Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for,
my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my
beloved.
The word of the Lord: Thanks be to God.

7. All: And also with you.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke 9:28–36.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Now about eight days after these sayings 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.

Music Notes
O man, thy grievous sin bemoan,
For which Christ left His Father's throne,
From highest heaven descending.
Of Virgin pure and undefiled
He here was born, our Saviour mild,
For sin to make atonement.
The dead He raised to life again.
The sick He freed from grief and pain.
Until the time appointed
That He for us should give His Blood,
Should bear our sins' o'erwhelming load,
The shameful Cross enduring.
This text, written originally in German around 1525, inspired
J.S. Bach (1685-1750) to create what the great French organist/
composer Charles-Marie Widor called the greatest piece of
instrumental music ever composed. While others would dispute
that claim, it is a sublime work of genius, based on the original
tune for this Lutheran hymn and perfectly reflecting the words.
At the end of this morning’s service is another ‘treatment’ of
this hymn by Johann Pachelbel (1653-1706). Although it was

11. thought to have been written by Bach, some clever musicologist
figured out that it was not, and attributed it to the composer of
the famous “Pachelbel’s Canon”.
“Richard Farrant (1530-1580) was Gentleman of the Royal
Chapels to King Edward VI, and Queen Elizabeth, and in 1564
was appointed Organist of St. George's Chapel, Windsor, and
Master of the Choristers there. In 1580 he resign'd his Place in
the Royal Chapels, and died in 1585. His Compositions for the
Church Service were peculiarly solemn, and well adapted for
that Purpose.” (a note from Cathedral Music by William Boyce)
