Matin Responsory I look from afar, and lo, I see the power of God coming, and a cloud covering the whole earth. Go ye out to meet him, and say, Tell us: art thou he that should come to reign over thy people Israel?

Stir up thy strength, O Lord, and come to reign over thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost.

Opening Hymn: 24 Come, thou long-expected Jesus (sung by St Martin’s Voices) 1 Come, thou long-expected Jesus, born to set thy people free, from our fears and sins release us, let us find our rest in thee. 2 Israel's strength and consolation, hope of all the earth thou art; dear desire of every nation, joy of every longing heart. 3 Born thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a king, born to reign in us for ever, now thy gracious kingdom bring. 4 By thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone; by thine all-sufficient merit raise us to thy glorious throne.

The Collect Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness

The Collect Almighty God, give us grace to cast away the works of darkness and to put on the armour of light, now in the time of this mortal life, in which your Son Jesus Christ came to us in great humility; that on the last day, when he shall come again in his glorious majesty to judge the living and the dead, we may rise to the life immortal; through him who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.

Epistle: Romans 13: 8 -14 Owe no one anything, except to love each other,

Epistle: Romans 13: 8 -14 Owe no one anything, except to love each other, for the one who loves another has fulfilled the law. For the commandments, “You shall not commit adultery, You shall not murder, You shall not steal, You shall not covet, ” and any other commandment, are summed up in this word: “You shall love your neighbor as yourself. ” Love does no wrong to a neighbour; therefore love is the fulfilling of the law. Besides this you know the time, that the hour has come for you to wake from sleep. For salvation is nearer to us now than when we first believed. The night is far gone; the day is at hand. So then let us cast off the works of darkness and put on the armor of light. Let us walk properly as in the daytime, not in orgies and drunkenness, not in sexual immorality and sensuality, not in quarreling and jealousy. But put on the Lord Jesus Christ, and make no provision for the flesh, to gratify its desires. This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Lead me in your truth and teach me, for you are the God of my salvation; for you I wait all the day long. 6. Remember your mercy, O Lord, and your steadfast love, for they have been from of old.

7. Remember not the sins of my youth or my transgressions; according to your steadfast love remember me, for the sake of your goodness, O Lord! 8. Good and upright is the Lord; therefore he instructs sinners in the way. 9. He leads the humble in what is right, and teaches the humble his way. 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.

The Gospel: St. Matthew 21: 1 -13 When the Gospel is announced, the priest

The Gospel: St. Matthew 21: 1 -13 When the Gospel is announced, the priest says, Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to St Matthew. Glory to you, O Lord Now when they drew near to Jerusalem and came to Bethphage, to the Mount of Olives, then Jesus sent two disciples, saying to them, “Go into the village in front of you, and immediately you will find a donkey tied, and a colt with her. Untie them and bring them to me. If anyone says anything to you, you shall say, ‘The Lord needs them, ’ and he will send them at once. ” This took place to fulfill what was spoken by the prophet, saying, “Say to the daughter of Zion, ‘Behold, your king is coming to you, humble, and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a beast of burden. ’” The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them. They brought the donkey and Continued…

Most of the crowd spread their cloaks on the road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. And the crowds that went before him and that followed him were shouting, “Hosanna to the Son of David! Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord! Hosanna in the highest!” And when he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was stirred up, saying, “Who is this? ” And the crowds said, “This is the prophet Jesus, from Nazareth of Galilee. ” And Jesus entered the temple and drove out all who sold and bought in the temple, and he overturned the tables of the money-changers and the seats of those who sold pigeons. He said to them, “It is written, ‘My house shall be called a house of prayer, ’ but you make it a den of robbers. ” This is the Gospel of the Lord All Praise to you, O Christ Sermon: Angela Berben

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth,

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. 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, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and 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

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshipped and glorified, who 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 Intercession (we kneel or sit) The intercessor prays: Lord, in your mercy We respond: Hear our prayer And at the end: Merciful Father We all say: accept these prayers for the sake of your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.

We are truly sorry and repent of all our sins. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, who died for us, forgive us all that is past and grant that we may serve you in newness of life to the glory of your name. Amen.

The priest says Almighty God, who forgives all who truly repent, have mercy upon

Accept our praises, heavenly Father, through your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, and as we follow his example and obey his command, grant that by the power of your Holy Spirit these gifts of bread and wine may be to us his body and his blood; 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.

Prayer of Humble Access All We do not presume to come to this your table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own righteousness, but in your manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under your table. But you are the same Lord whose nature is always to have mercy. Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of your dear Son Jesus Christ and to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body and our souls washed through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

Communion Hymns: Advent Prose Pour down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness. Turn your fierce anger from us, O Lord, and remember not our sins for ever. Your holy cities have become a desert, Zion a wilderness, Jerusalem a desolation; our holy and beautiful house, where our fathers praised you. Pour down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness. We have sinned and become like one who is unclean; we have all withered like a leaf, and our iniquities like the wind have swept us away. You have hidden your face from us and abandoned us to our iniquities. Pour down, O heavens, from above, and let the Continued… skies rain down righteousness.

You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen,

You are my witnesses, says the Lord, and my servant whom I have chosen, that you may know me and believe me. I myself am the Lord and none but I can deliver; what my hand holds none can snatch away. Pour down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness. Comfort my people, comfort them; my salvation shall not be delayed. I have swept your offences away like a cloud; fear not, for I will save you. I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your redeemer. Pour down, O heavens, from above, and let the skies rain down righteousness.

Closing Hymn: 31 Lo, he comes with clouds descending (sung by St Martin’s Voices) 1 Lo, he comes with clouds descending, once for favoured sinners slain; thousand saints attending swell the triumph of his train: alleluia! God appears on earth to reign. 2 Those dear tokens of his passion still his dazzling body bears; cause of endless exultation to his ransomed worshippers: with what rapture, gaze we on those glorious scars. 3 Yea, amen, let all adore thee, high on thine eternal throne; Saviour, take the power and glory, claim the kingdom for thine own: O come quickly, O come quickly, alleluia! come, Lord, come!
