CHOIR OF SAINT JAMES

St. James in-the-City October 10, 2021 4:30 PM

10 OCTOBER 2021

THE 20TH SUNDAY AFTER PENTECOST

SOLEMN EVENSONG AT 4:30 PM

It is a great pleasure to welcome you to St. James’ Church. If you do not already have a church home we invite you to worship with us as often as you would like and to consider joining our parish family. Evensong in an Anglican Church is a magnificent act of worship. Sung daily since the sixteenth century, this service is one piece of the total worship of God offered by Christian people at every hour of the day and night in every part of the world. Drawn almost entirely from the Bible, its primary purpose is to proclaim the wonderful works of God in history and in the life, death, and resurrection of Jesus Christ. Its secondary purpose is to evoke from the worshiper a response of praise, penitence, prayer and obedience. This is a service of Choral Evensong in which much of the music is sung by the Choir to classical and often elaborate settings dating from the time of the English Reformation (and earlier) to the present day. The form of our worship is drawn from the first Prayer Book of King Edward VI (1549) and subsequent revisions. We invite you to join silently in worship with the Choir, while they sing the prayers, Psalms, canticles, responses and other music. Please join the Choir in singing the hymns, the Creed, the Lord’s Prayer and in adding the Amen to the said prayers.

X Organ Voluntary Rhapsody No. 3 in C-sharp minor, Op. 17 Herbert Howells (1892-1983) All stand as the procession enters the church. Preces V. O Lord, open thou our lips; R. And our mouth shall shew forth thy praise. V. O God, make speed to save us; R. O Lord, make haste to help us. V. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. R. As it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be,

world without end. Amen. V. Praise ye the Lord; R. The Lord’s Name be praised. Text: Book of Common Prayer 1549, 1662 Music: Richard Ayleward (1626-1669)

The congregation shall be seated for the singing of the Psalm. As is customary, all shall stand for the Gloria Patri at the end of the Psalm.

Psalm 148 Laudate Dominum

praise the Lord of heaven; praise him in the heights. Praise him, all ye angels of his; praise him, all his host. Praise him, sun and moon; praise him, all ye stars and light. Praise him, all ye

heavens, and ye waters that are above the heavens. Let them praise the Name of the Lord, for he spoke the word, and they were made; he commanded, and they were created. He hath made them fast for ever and ever; he hath given them a law which shall not be broken. Praise the Lord upon the earth, ye dragons and all deeps; fire and hail, snow and vapours, wind and storm, fulfilling his word; mountains and all hills; fruitful trees and all cedars; beasts and all cattle; worms and feathered fowls; kings of the earth, and all people; princes, and all judges of the world; young men and maidens, old men and children, praise the Name of the Lord. For his Name only is excellent, and his praise above heaven and earth. He shall exalt the horn of his people; all his saints shall praise him, even the children of Israel, even the people that serveth him. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost. As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Text: Translation by Miles Coverdale (c. 1487-1569) Music: David Willcocks (1919-2015)

The congregation shall be seated for the lesson. The First Lesson 1 Samuel 3:1-10 The Lector announces the lesson A lesson from the first book of Samuel beginning at the 3rd chapter.

ow the boy Samuel was ministering to the Lord under Eli. The word of the Lord was rare in those days; visions were not widespread.

At that time Eli, whose eyesight had begun to grow dim so that he could not see, was lying down in his room; the lamp of God had not yet gone out, and Samuel was lying down in the temple of the Lord, where the ark of God was. Then the Lord called, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ and he said, ‘Here I am!’ and ran to Eli, and said, ‘Here I am, for you called me.’ But he said, ‘I did not call; lie down again.’ So he went and lay down. The Lord called again, ‘Samuel!’ Samuel got up and went to Eli, and said, ‘Here I am, for you called me.’ But he said, ‘I did not call, my son; lie down again.’ Now Samuel did not yet know the Lord, and the word of the Lord had not yet been revealed to him. The Lord called Samuel again, a third time. And he got up and went to Eli, and said, ‘Here I am, for you called me.’ Then Eli perceived that the Lord was calling the boy. Therefore Eli said to Samuel, ‘Go, lie down; and if he calls you, you shall say, “Speak, Lord, for your servant is listening.” ’ So Samuel went and lay down in his place. Now the Lord came and stood there, calling as before, ‘Samuel! Samuel!’ And Samuel said, ‘Speak, for your servant is listening.’

The Lector concludes the lesson Hear endeth the lesson. The congregation shall stand for the Magnificat. Canticle Magnificat My soul doth magnify the Lord,

and my spirit hath rejoiced in God my Savior. For he hath regarded

the lowliness of his handmaiden. For behold from henceforth

all generations shall call me blessed. For he that is mighty hath magnified me,

and holy is his Name. And his mercy is on them that fear him

throughout all generations.

O

N

He hath showed strength with his arm; he hath scattered the proud in the imagination of their hearts.

He hath put down the mighty from their seat, and hath exalted the humble and meek.

He hath filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he hath sent empty away.

He remembering his mercy hath holpen his servant Israel, as he promised to our forefathers, Abraham and his seed for ever.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Text: Luke 1:46-55, Book of Common Prayer 1662 Music: Evening Service “Collegium Regale” by Herbert Howells The congregation shall be seated for the lesson. The Second Lesson Matthew 15:21-28

The Lector announces the lesson A lesson from the Gospel of St. Matthew beginning at the 21st verse of the 15th chapter.

esus left that place and went away to the district of Tyre and Sidon. Just then a Canaanite woman from that region came out and started shouting, ‘Have mercy on me, Lord, Son of David; my daughter is

tormented by a demon.’ But he did not answer her at all. And his disciples came and urged him, saying, ‘Send her away, for she keeps shouting after us.’ He answered, ‘I was sent only to the lost sheep of the house of Israel.’ But she came and knelt before him, saying, ‘Lord, help me.’ He answered, ‘It is not fair to take the children’s food and throw it to the dogs.’ She said, ‘Yes, Lord, yet even the dogs eat the crumbs that fall from their masters’ table.’ Then Jesus answered her, ‘Woman, great is your faith! Let it be done for you as you wish.’ And her daughter was healed instantly.

The Lector concludes the lesson Hear endeth the lesson. The congregation shall stand for the Nunc Dimittis. Canticle Nunc Dimittis Lord, now lettest thou thy servant depart in peace,

according to thy word. For mine eyes have seen thy salvation,

which thou hast prepared before the face of all people. To be a light to lighten the Gentiles,

and to be the glory of thy people Israel. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen. Text: Luke 2:29-32, Book of Common Prayer 1662 Music: Evening Service in G by Charles Villiers Stanford

The congregation shall join in the Apostles’ Creed. The Apostles’ Creed I believe in God, the Father almighty,

Maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary,

J

suffered under Pontius Pilate was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty, From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen. The Prayers and Responses V. The Lord be with you. R. And with thy spirit. V. Let us pray. The congregation shall kneel for the Prayers and Responses sung by the choir to a setting by Richard Ayleward

Lord, have mercy upon us. Christ, have mercy upon us . . . 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 that trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation but deliver us from evil. Amen. V. O Lord, shew thy mercy upon us; R. And grant us thy salvation. V. O Lord, save the State. R. And mercifully hear us when we call upon thee. V. Endue thy ministers with righteousness. R. And make thy chosen people joyful. V. O Lord, save thy people. R. And bless thine inheritance. V. Give peace in our time, O Lord. R. Because there is none other that fighteth for us,

but only thou, O Lord. V. O Lord, make clean our heart within us. R. And take not thy Holy Spirit from us. The Officiant then sings three Collects to which the choir responds “Amen.” A Collect for Sundays Lord God, whose Son our Savior Jesus Christ triumphed over the powers of death and prepared for us our place in the new Jerusalem: Grant that we, who have this day given thanks for his resurrection, may praise thee in that City of which he is the light; and where he liveth and reigneth for ever and ever. Amen.

A Collect for Peace O God, from whom all holy desires, all good counsels, and all just works do proceed: Give unto thy servants that peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be set to obey thy commandments, and also that by thee, we, being defended from the fear of all enemies, may pass our time in rest and quietness; through the merits of Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen. A Collect for the Presence of Christ Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and the day is past; be our companion in the way, kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may know thee as thou art revealed in Scripture and the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of thy love. Amen. The congregation shall stand for the singing of the hymn. Hymn 24 The day thou gavest, Lord, is ended

Verbe égal au Très-Haut, notre unique espérance, Jour éternel de la terre et des cieux, De la paisible nuit nous rompons le silence: Divin sauveur, jette sur nous les yeux. Répands sur nous le feu de ta grâce puissante; Que tout l'enfer fuie au son de ta voix; Dissipe le sommeil d'une âme languissante Qui la conduit à l'oubli de tes lois! Ô Christ! sois favorable à ce peuple fidèle, Pour te bénir maintenant rassemblé; Reçois les chants qu'il offre à ta gloire immortelle, Et de tes dons qu'il retourne comblé

Word of God, one with the Most High, in Whom alone we have our hope, Eternal Day of heaven and earth, We break the silence of the peaceful night; Saviour Divine, cast your eyes upon us! Pour on us the fire of your powerful grace, That all hell may flee at the sound of your voice; Banish the slumber of a weary soul, That brings forgetfulness of your laws! O Christ, look with favour upon your faithful people Now gathered here to praise you; Receive their hymns offered to your immortal glory;

May they go forth filled with your gifts.

Text: Jean Racine (1639-1699) paraphrase from a breviary for matins, translated by Harold Heiberg (1922-2013). Music: Gabriel Fauré (1845-1924) The congregation shall kneel for the Prayers and Intercessions, concluding with the General Thanksgiving, said by all. The General Thanksgiving Almighty God, Father of all mercies, we thine unworthy servants do give thee most humble and hearty thanks for all thy goodness and loving-kindness to us and all people. We bless thee for our creation, preservation, and all the blessings of this life; but above all for thine inestimable love in the redemption of the world by our Lord Jesus Christ, for the means of grace, and for the hope of glory. And we beseech thee, give us that due sense of all thy mercies, that our hearts may be unfeignedly thankful; and that we show forth thy praise, not only with our lips, but in our lives, by giving up our selves to thy service, and by walking before thee in holiness and righteousness all our days; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost, be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.

The congregation stands for the singing of the hymn. Hymn 31 Most holy God, the Lord of heaven

Text: Latin; tr. Ann K. LeCroy (b. 1930) Music: Dunedin, Vernon Griffiths (1894-1985); descant by James Buonemani

The Blessing Open wide, O Lord, the gates of heaven, and visit thy people in peace;

send forth thy Spirit from on high, that their hearts may be uplifted unto thee; O Lord, who for our sake wast of a virgin born, make holy thy people,

and bless thine heritage. And the blessing of God Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you and abide with you for ever. Amen. The congregation may kneel (or sit) as the choir sings the following anthem in honor of the Blessed Virgin Mary.

Motet Ave Maris Stella Ave, maris stella, Dei mater alma, atque semper virgo, felix cœli porta. Solve vincla reis, profer lumen cæcis, mala nostra pelle, bona cuncta posce. Monstra te esse matrem, sumat per te precem [12] qui pro nobis natus tulit esse tuus.

Hail, star of the sea, Nurturing Mother of God, And ever Virgin Happy gate of Heaven Loosen the chains of the guilty, Send forth light to the blind, Our evil do thou dispel, Entreat (for us) all good things. Show thyself to be a Mother: Through thee may he receive prayer Who, being born for us, Undertook to be thine own.
