Prayer for Purity: (Kneel or Bow)
ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all
desires known, and from whom no secrets are hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our
hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love thee,
and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.
Summary of Law: (Kneel or Bow)
Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith. Thou
shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with
all thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like
unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments
hang all the Law and the Prophets.

Gospel Hymn -Second Half (Stand)
Nicene Creed: (Stand)
I BELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty,
Maker of heaven and earth, And of all things visible and invisible:
And in one Lord Jesus
Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his Father before all worlds,
God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not made; Being of
one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men and
for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of
the Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was crucified also for us under Pontius
Pilate; He suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according
to the Scriptures: And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of
the Father: And he shall come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and
the dead; Whose kingdom shall have no end.
And I believe in the
Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from the Father and the
Son; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and glorified; Who
spake by the Prophets: And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church: I
acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: And I look for the
Resurrection of the dead: And the Life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayer for the state
of Christ’s Church:
(Kneel or Bow)
Let us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church.
ALMIGHTY and everliving God, who by thy
holy Apostle hast taught us to make prayers, and supplications, and to give
thanks for all men; We humbly beseech thee most mercifully to accept our [alms
and] oblations, and to receive these our prayers, which we offer unto thy
Divine Majesty; beseeching thee to inspire continually the Universal Church
with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord: And grant that all those who do
confess thy holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in
unity and godly love.
We beseech thee also,
so to direct and dispose the hearts of all Christian Rulers, that they may
truly and impartially administer justice, to the punishment of wickedness and
vice, and to the maintenance of thy true religion, and virtue.
Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and other Ministers, that
they may, both by their life and doctrine, set forth thy true and lively Word,
and rightly and duly administer thy holy Sacraments.
And to all thy People
give thy heavenly grace; and especially to this congregation here present;
that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear, and receive thy holy
Word; truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of their
life.
And we most humbly
beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succor all those who, in
this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other
adversity [Especially_______________ ].
And we also bless thy
holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear; beseeching
thee to grant them continual growth in thy love and service, and to give us
grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of
thy heavenly kingdom. Grant this, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only
Mediator and Advocate.
Amen.
Invitation: (Kneel or Bow)
YE who do truly and earnestly repent you of your
sins, and are in love and charity with your neighbors, and intend to lead a new
life, following the commandments of God, and walking from henceforth in his
holy ways; Draw near with faith, and take this holy Sacrament to your comfort;
and make your humble confession to Almighty God, devoutly kneeling.
General Confession:
(Kneel or Bow)
ALMIGHTY God, Father of our Lord Jesus
Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all men; We acknowledge and bewail our
manifold sins and wickedness, Which we, from time to time, most grievously have
committed, By thought, word, and deed, Against thy Divine Majesty, Provoking
most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, And
are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; The remembrance of them is grievous
unto us; The burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, Have mercy upon
us, most merciful Father; For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, Forgive us
all that is past; And grant that we may ever hereafter Serve and please thee In
newness of life, To the honor and glory of thy Name; Through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
Absolution: (Kneel or Bow)
ALMIGHTY God, our
heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised forgiveness of sins to
all those who with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him; Have mercy
upon you; pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and strengthen you
in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our
Lord. Amen.
Comfortable Words: (Kneel or Bow)
Hear what
comfortable words our Savior Christ saith unto all who truly turn to him.
Come unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy
laden, and I will refresh you. St. Matt.
xi. 28.
So God loved the world, that he gave his
only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him should not perish,
but have everlasting life. St. John iii. 16.
Hear also what Saint Paul saith.
This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be
received, That Christ Jesus came into the world to save sinners. I Tim. i. 15.
Hear also what Saint John saith.
If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the
Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and he is the Propitiation for our sins.
1 St.
John ii. 1, 2.
And with thy spirit
Lift up your hearts
We lift them up to the Lord
Let us give thanks unto our Lord God
It is meet and right so to do
IT is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all
times, and in all places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty,
Everlasting God. THEREFORE with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company
of heaven, we laud and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and
saying,
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY,
Lord God of, hosts, Heaven and earth are full of thy glory: Glory be to thee, O
Lord Most High. Blessed is he that cometh in the Name of the Lord. Hosanna in
the Highest.
Institution: (Kneel or Bow)
ALL glory be to thee, Almighty God, our heavenly
Father, for that thou, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus
Christ to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption; who made there (by
his one oblation of himself once offered) a full, perfect, and sufficient
sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world; and did
institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to continue, a perpetual memory of
that his precious death and sacrifice, until his coming again: For in the night
in which he was betrayed, he took Bread; and when he had given thanks, he brake
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. Likewise, after supper, he took
the Cup; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, Drink ye all
of this; for this is my Blood of the New Testament, which is shed for you, and
for many, for the remission of sins; Do this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in
remembrance of me.
Oblation: (Kneel or Bow)
WHEREFORE O Lord and heavenly Father, according to
the institution of thy dearly beloved Son our Savior Jesus Christ, we, thy
humble servants, do celebrate and make here before thy Divine Majesty, with
these thy holy gifts, which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath
commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious
death, his mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; rendering unto thee most
hearty thanks for the innumerable benefits procured unto us by the same.
Invocation: (Kneel or Bow)
AND we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father,
to hear us; and, of thy almighty goodness, vouchsafe to bless and sanctify,
with thy Word and Holy Spirit, these thy gifts and creatures of bread and wine;
that we, receiving them according to thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ’s holy
institution, in remembrance of his death and passion, may be partakers of his
most blessed Body and Blood.
AND we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness,
mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; most humbly
beseeching thee to grant that, by the merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ,
and through faith in his blood, we, and all thy whole Church, may obtain
remission of our sins, and all other benefits of his passion.
And here we offer
and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies, to be a
reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee, that
we, and all others who shall be partakers of this Holy Communion, may worthily receive
the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, be filled with thy
grace and heavenly benediction, and made one body with him, that he may dwell
in us, and we in him.
And although we are unworthy, through our manifold sins,
to offer unto thee any sacrifice; yet we beseech thee to accept this our
bounden duty and service; not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offences,
through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with whom, in the unity of the Holy
Ghost, all honor and glory be unto thee, O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.
The Lord’s Prayer: (Kneel or Bow)
And now, as our Savior Christ hath taught us, we
are bold to say,
OUR
Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come. Thy will be
done, on earth, as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And
forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And
lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the
kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
The peace of the Lord be always with you
And with thy Spirit
Prayer of Humble
Access:
(Kneel or Bow)
WE
do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own
righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much
as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose
property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat
the flesh of thy 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.
O
Lamb of God that takest away the sins of the world have mercy upon us
O Lamb of God that takest away the sins of
the world have mercy upon us
O Lamb of God that takest away the sins of
the world grant us thy peace
Presentation of the
Elements
Behold the Lamb of
God that takest away the sins of the world
He Himself bore our sins in His body on the cross
that we might die to sin and live to righteousness; for by His wounds you were
healed.
Communion: For those participating online:
For
those joining our service online, I remind you that even though you are unable
to receive the bread and wine of the Table at this time, the grace,
forgiveness, and cleansing they represent are yours wherever you are.
Therefore, I invite you to draw near to the Table with us and receive the
elements spiritually in your hearts by faith with thanksgiving. As you do so, I
encourage you to offer the following prayer to God with the assurance that the
spiritual reality signified by the meal is truly given to you by God.
O Lord Jesus Christ,
I believe the promises made unto us in your
Holy Sacrament;
that your death on the Cross has taken away
my sins and reconciled me to your Father.
I love You above all things,
and I desire to receive You into my life more
fully.
Since I cannot at this moment partake of the
bread and wine of your Table,
Let me receive them and all that they promise
spiritually.
Come into my heart.
Forgive my sins and wash me clean.
Assure me of your abiding presence and grace
with me.
And strengthen me that I may serve you this
week in all that I do.
In your name I pray. Amen

Thanksgiving:
(Kneel or Bow)
ALMIGHTY and everliving God, we most heartily
thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to feed us who have duly received
these holy mysteries with the spiritual food of the most precious Body and
Blood of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy
favor and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the
mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people;
and are also heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of
his most precious death and passion. And we humbly beseech thee, O
heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace, that we may continue in that
holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou hast prepared for us to
walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost,
be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

we glorify thee, we give thanks to thee for thy great glory, O Lord God,
heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.
O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesus
Christ; O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sins
of the world, have mercy upon us. Thou that takest away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer. Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have
mercy upon us.
For thou only art holy; thou only art
the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory
of God the Father. Amen.

85 What Star Is This
1. What star is this, with beams so bright,
More beauteous than the noonday light?
It shines to herald forth the King,
And Gentiles to his crib to bring.
2. True spake the prophet from afar
Who told the rise of Jacob’s star;
And eastern sages with amaze
Upon the wondrous token gaze.
3. The guiding star above is bright;
Within them shines a clearer light,
And leads them on with pow’r benign
To seek the Giver of the sign.
4. Their love can brook no dull delay,
Though toil and danger block the way;
Home, kindred, fatherland, and all
They leave at their Creator’s call.
5. O Jesus, while the star of grace
Impels us on to seek thy face,
Let not our slothful hearts refuse
The guidance of thy light to use.
6. To God the Father, heav’nly Light,
To Christ, revealed in earthly night,
To God the Holy Ghost we raise
88 Earth Has Many A Noble City
1. Earth has many a noble city;
Bethl’em, thou dost all excel;
Out of thee the Lord from heaven came
to rule his Israel.
2. Fairer than the sun at morning
was the star that told his birth,
To the world its God announcing
seen in fleshly form on earth.
3. Eastern sages at his cradle make
oblations rich and rare;
See them give, in deep devotion,
gold, and frankincense, and myrrh.

4. Sacred gifts of mystic meaning:
incense doth their God disclose,
Gold the King of kings proclaimeth,
myrrh his sepulcher foreshows.
5. Jesus, whom the Gentiles worshipped
at thy glad epiphany,
Unto thee, with God the Father
and the Spirit, glory be. Amen.
84 As With Gladness Men Of Old
1. As with gladness men of old
did the guiding star behold,
As with joy they hailed its light,
leading onward, beaming bright,
So, most gracious Lord,
may we evermore be led to thee.
2. As with joyful steps they sped
to that lowly manger bed,
There to bend the knee before him
whom heav’n and earth adore,
So may we with willing feet
ever seek the mercy seat.
3. As they offered gifts most rare
at that manger rude and bare,
So may we with holy joy,
pure and free from sin’s alloy,
All our costliest treasures bring,
Christ, to thee, our heav’nly King.
4. Holy Jesus, ev’ry day
keep us in the narrow way,
And, when earthly things are past,
bring our ransomed souls at last
Where they need no star to guide,
where no clouds thy glory hide.
5. In the heav’nly country bright,
need they no created light;
Thou its light, its joy, its crown,
thou its sun which goes not down.
There forever may we sing
93 Watchman Tell Us Of The Night
1. Watchman, tell us of the night,
What its signs of promise are.
“Trav’ler,
o’er yon mountain’s height,
See that glory-beaming star.”
Watchman, does its beauteous ray
Aught of joy or hope foretell?
“Trav’ler,
yes; it brings the day,
Promised day of Israel.”
2. Watchman, tell us of the night;
Higher yet that star ascends.
“Trav’ler,
blessedness and light,
Peace and truth its course portends.”
Watchman, will its beams alone
Gild the spot that gave them birth?
“Trav’ler,
ages are its own;
See, it bursts o’er all the earth.”
3. Watchman, tell us of the night,
For the morning seems to dawn.
“Trav’ler,
darkness takes its flight;
Doubt and terror are withdrawn.”
Watchman, let thy wand’rings cease;
Hie thee to thy quiet home.
“Trav’ler,
lo! The Prince of Peace,
91 Songs Of Thankfulness And Praise
1. Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to thee we raise,
Manifested by the star
to the sages from afar;
Branch of royal David’s stem
in thy birth at Bethlehem;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in man made manifest.
2. Manifest at Jordan’s stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King Supreme;
And at Cana, wedding guest,
in thy Godhead manifest;
Manifest in pow’r divine,
changing water into wine;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in man made manifest.
3. Manifest in making whole
palsied limbs and fainting soul;
Manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil’s might;
Manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill;
Anthems be to thee addressed,
God in man made manifest.
4. Grant us grace to see thee, Lord,
mirror’d in thy holy Word;
May we imitate thee now,
and be pure, as pure art thou;
That we like to thee may be
at thy great epiphany,
And may praise thee, ever blest,
