9:30 AM LITURGY & LYRICS

Welcome to Summer on the Green! Because of this unusual season we find ourselves in, you need to wear your mask during sung worship if you want to sing out loud as a courtesy to people sitting near you.

This service is taken from The Renewed Ancient Text of the The Book of Common Prayer (2019) of the Anglican Church in North America. Physical acts of worship – crossing †, bowing ↓ – are optional.

O Lord, Have Mercy On Me          

Oh Lord, have mercy on me, and heal me,
Oh Lord, have mercy on me, and free me,

Place my feet upon a rock,
Put a new song in my heart, in my heart,
Oh Lord, have mercy on me.

Oh Lord, may your love and your grace protect me,
Oh Lord, may your ways and your truth direct me,

Place my feet upon a rock,
Put a new song in my heart, in my heart,
Oh Lord, have mercy on me.

People:  And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

THE COLLECT FOR PURITY

Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily magnify your holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE COLLECT OF THE DAY

Celebrant:  The Lord be with you.

People:  And with your spirit.

Celebrant:  Let us pray.

Grant us, O Lord, we pray, the spirit to think and do always those things that are right, that we, who can do no good thing apart from you, may by you be enabled to live according to your will; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.

Increase, O God, the spirit of neighborliness among us, that in peril we may uphold one another, in suffering tend to one another, and in homelessness, loneliness, or exile befriend
one another. Grant us brave and enduring hearts that we may strengthen one another, until the disciplines and testing of these days are ended, and you again give peace in our time; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

THE EPISTLE

(after the reading) The Word of the Lord.

Thanks be to God.

HYMN

All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine
Engelberg

(Nathaniel Youndt, vocalist)

1 All praise to thee, for thou, O King divine,
didst yield the glory that of right was thine,
that in our darkened hearts thy grace might shine.
Alleluia!

2 Thou cam’st to us in lowliness of thought;
by thee the outcast and the poor were sought;
and by thy death was God’s salvation wrought.
Alleluia!

3 Let this mind be in us which was in thee,
who wast a servant that we might be free,
humbling thyself to death on Calvary.
Alleluia!

4 Wherefore, by God’s eternal purpose, thou
art high exalted o’er all creatures now,
and giv’n the Name to which all knees shall bow.
Alleluia!

5 Let every tongue confess with one accord
in heav’n and earth that Jesus Christ is Lord,
and God the Father be by all adored.
Alleluia! Amen.

THE GOSPEL

THE SERMON

THE NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, eternally be-gotten 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 from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped 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.

THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE

(The leader ends each prayer:) Lord, in your mercy,
(The people respond:) Hear our prayer.

THE CONFESSION & ABSOLUTION OF SIN

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 neighbors 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.

THE PEACE

Celebrant:  The Peace of the Lord be always with you.

People:  And with your spirit. 

THE HOLY EUCHARIST

THE LORD’S PRAYER

And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray :

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.

(Matthew 6:9–13)

THE FRACTION

Alleluia. Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us;
Therefore let us keep the feast. Alleluia.

COMMUNION HYMN

Come to me, O weary traveler        Beach Spring

1 “Come to me, O weary traveler,
come to me with your distress;
come to me, you heavy burdened,
come to me, and find your rest.

“Do not fear, my yoke is easy;
do not fear, my burden’s light;
do not fear the path before you;
do not run from me in fright.

2 “Take my yoke, and leave your troubles;
take my yoke, and come with me;
take my yoke, I am beside you;
take, and learn humility.

“Rest in me, O weary traveler;
rest in me, and do not fear;
rest in me, my heart is gentle;
rest, and cast away your care.”

COMMUNION HYMN

What wondrous love is this        Wondrous Love

1 What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
to lay aside his crown for my soul, for my soul, to lay aside his crown for my soul!

2 To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I will sing,
to God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb,
who is the great I AM
while millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing,
while millions join the theme, I will sing!

3 And when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and when from death I’m free, I’ll sing on.
And when from death I’m free
I’ll sing and joyful be,
and through eternity I’ll sing on, I’ll sing on,
and through eternity I’ll sing on!
