Introit
With a voice of singing declare ye this, and let it be heard, Alleluia: utter it even unto the ends of the earth; the Lord hath delivered his people, Alleluia.
O be joyful in God all ye lands: sing praises unto the honour of his name, make his praise to be glorious. Glory be…
Entrance Hymn:NEH 112 –Jesus lives, thy terrors now
First Lesson: Joel 2 v. 21-26
Fear not, O land; be glad and rejoice: for the Lord will do great things.
Be not afraid, ye beasts of the field: for the pastures of the wilderness do spring, for the tree beareth her fruit, the fig tree and the vine do yield their strength.
Be glad then, ye children of Zion, and rejoice in the Lord your God: for he hath given you the former rain moderately, and he will cause to come down for you the rain, the former rain, and the latter rain in the first month.
And the floors shall be full of wheat, and the fats shall overflow with wine and oil.
And I will restore to you the years that the locust hath eaten, the cankerworm, and the caterpiller, and the palmerworm, my great army which I sent among you.
And ye shall eat in plenty, and be satisfied, and praise the name of the Lord your God, that hath dealt wondrously with you: and my people shall never be ashamed.
Remain seated to sing: Psalm 66 v. 1-8
Jubilate Deo
CAN / OBEjoyful in God, all ye lands : sing praises unto the honour of his Name, make his praise to be glorious.FULL / Say unto God, O how wonderful art thou in thy works : through the greatness of thy power shall thine enemies be found liars unto thee.
CAN / For all the world shall worship thee : sing of thee, and praise thy Name.
FULL / O come hither, and behold the works of God : how wonderful he is in his doing toward the children of men.
CAN / He turned the sea into dry land : so that they went through the water on foot; there did we rejoice thereof.
FULL / He ruleth with his power for ever; his eyes behold the people : and such as will not believe shall not be able to exalt them_selves.
CAN / O praise our God, ye people : and make the voice of his praise to be heard;
FULL / Who holdeth our soul in life : and suffereth not our feet to slip.
Second Lesson: James 1 v. 22-end
But be ye doers of the word, and not hearers only, deceiving your own selves. For if any be a hearer of the word, and not a doer, he is like unto a man beholding his natural face in a glass:for he beholdeth himself, and goeth his way, and straightway forgetteth what manner of man he was. But whoso looketh into the perfect law of liberty, and continueth therein, he being not a forgetful hearer, but a doer of the work, this man shall be blessed in his deed. If any man among you seem to be religious, and bridleth not his tongue, but deceiveth his own heart, this man’s religion is vain. Pure religion and undefiled before God and the Father is this, To visit the fatherless and widows in their affliction, and to keep himself unspotted from the world.
Sequence: NEH 519 Victimae Paschali
Gospel acclamation:
Christ being raised from the dead dieth no more:
Death hath no more dominion over_him.
THE GOSPEL:John 16 v. 23-33
And in that day ye shall ask me nothing. Verily, verily, I say unto you, Whatsoever ye shall ask the Father in my name, he will give it you. Hitherto have ye asked nothing in my name: ask, and ye shall receive, that your joy may be full.
These things have I spoken unto you in proverbs: but the time cometh, when I shall no more speak unto you in proverbs, but I shall shew you plainly of the Father. At that day ye shall ask in my name: and I say not unto you, that I will pray the Father for you: for the Father himself loveth you, because ye have loved me, and have believed that I came out from God. I came forth from the Father, and am come into the world: again, I leave the world, and go to the Father.
His disciples said unto him, Lo, now speakest thou plainly, and speakest no proverb. Now are we sure that thou knowest all things, and needest not that any man should ask thee: by this we believe that thou camest forth from God. Jesus answered them, Do ye now believe?Behold, the hour cometh, yea, is now come, that ye shall be scattered, every man to his own, and shall leave me alone: and yet I am not alone, because the Father is with me. These things I have spoken unto you, that in me ye might have peace. In the world ye shall have tribulation: but be of good cheer; I have overcome the world.
Sermon:The Rev’d Alan Moses
Vicar, All Saints Margaret Street

O praise our God, ye people, and make the voice of his praise to be heard: who holdeth our soul in life, and suffereth not our feet to slip. Praised be God who hath not cast out my prayer: nor turned his mercy from me, Alleluia.
