Cuarto Tiento de Cuarto Tono (no. XVIII Facultad Orgánica
1626)
by Francisco Correa de Arauxo ca. 1584-1654 Seville.
This was the only book of keyboard music printed in Spain
between
1578 and 1773.
The composer was an extremely accomplished musician but a
mercurial and difficult character, who once stopped playing
halfway
through a service because he hadn't received his salary
increase!

Opening Hymn [619]
When morning gilds the skies, my heart awaking cries: may Jesus
Christ be praised! alike at work and prayer to Jesus I repair: may
Jesus Christ be praised! Whene’er the sweet church bell peals over
hill and dell, may Jesus Christ be praised: O hark to what it
sings, as joyously it rings, may Jesus Christ be praised! My tongue
shall never tire Of chanting with the choir, may Jesus Christ be
praised! this song of sacred joy, it never seems to cloy, may Jesus
Christ be praised! Does sadness fill my mind? a solace here I find:
may Jesus Christ be praised! or fades my earthly bliss? My comfort
still is this: may Jesus Christ be praised! The night becomes as
day, when from the heart we say, may Jesus Christ be praised: the
powers of darkness fear, when this sweet chant they hear, may Jesus
Christ be praised.
-
Be this, while life is mine, my canticle divine: may Jesus
Christ be praised! be this the eternal song through ages all along:
may Jesus Christ be praised.

Worship Songs
A new commandment I give unto you: that you love one another as
I have loved you, that you love one another as I have loved you. By
this shall all know that you are my disciples if you have love for
one another. By this shall all know that you are my disciples if
you have love for one another.

Song 2
Make me a channel of your peace where there is hatred let me
bring your love where there is injury, your pardon Lord and where
there's doubt, true faith in you. O Master grant that I may never
seek so much to be consoled as to console to be understood as to
understand to be loved as to love with all my soul.
-
Make me a channel of your peace Where there's despair in life
let me bring hope; where there is darkness, only light and where
there's sadness ever joy. O Master grant that I may never seek so
much to be consoled as to console to be understood as to understand
to be loved as to love with all my soul. Make me a channel of your
peace. It is in pardoning that we are pardoned in giving to all men
that we receive and in dying that we're born to eternal life.

[from a prayer of St. Francis of Assisi]
Offertory Hymn [324]
Sweet Sacrament divine, hid in thine earthly home, lo, round thy
lowly shrine, with suppliant hearts we come; Jesus, to thee our
voice we raise in songs of love and heartfelt praise: sweet
Sacrament divine. Sweet Sacrament of peace, dear home for every
heart, where restless yearnings cease and sorrows all depart; there
in thine ear all trustfully we tell our tale of misery: sweet
Sacrament of peace.
-
Sweet Sacrament of rest, ark from the ocean’s roar, within thy
shelter blest soon may we reach the shore; save us, for still the
tempest raves, save, lest we sink beneath the waves: sweet
Sacrament of rest. Sweet Sacrament divine, earth’s light and
jubilee, in thy far depths doth shine thy Godhead’s majesty; sweet
light, so shine on us, we pray, that earthly joys may fade away:
sweet Sacrament divine.

Final Hymn [582]
Take up thy cross, the Saviour said, if thou wouldst my disciple
be; deny thyself, the world forsake, and humbly follow after me.
Take up thy cross, let not its weight fill thy weak spirit with
alarm; his strength shall bear thy spirit up, and brace thy heart
and nerve thine arm. Take up thy cross, nor heed the shame, nor let
thy foolish pride rebel; thy Lord for thee the cross endured, to
save thy soul from death and hell. Take up thy cross then in his
strength, and calmly every danger brave, 'twill guide thee to a
better home, and lead to victory o'er the grave.
-
Take up thy cross and follow Christ, nor think till death to lay
it down; for only they who bear the cross may hope to wear the
glorious crown. To thee, great Lord, the One in Three, all praise
for evermore ascend: O grant us in our home to see the heavenly
life that knows no end.

Keeping in touch!
Christ Church operates a taxi service for those who find it
difficult to
get to church on a Sunday, or through the week. If you would
like to
use the service, please talk with Joan, Sylvia or Lorraine. You
do
not then have to pay the driver. This is not dependent in
any
way on ability to pay, this is to help people get to church,
without
worrying. If people feel they would like to contribute towards
the
cost of the fares, they merely place their donation in a Gift
Aid
envelope, marked ‘Taxi’.

Parish Magazine
Please continue to send us items to include – these can be
recipes [family recipes, not those taken directly from any
published book], clean, funny jokes, items of interest about people
or places and poetry, or indeed, anything you think people will
enjoy reading.
Many thanks! Janine and Ann P
LENT COURSE
This year’s Lent course entitled
‘Encountered – Meeting God in
ordinary places’ explores the
ordinary places of the Easter story in
which the extraordinary events of
Jesus’s life, death and resurrection occurred. The five
sessions
examine the reality of these places which Jesus knew so well.
You
will be encouraged to look at the ordinary places in your own
life,
and rediscover them as places in which you may meet the
living
God.
Each week we will look at a different place and so if you can’t
make
it along each week you will still be able to slot into each one
and
make it part of your Lenten pilgrimage.
The lent course will continue on Tuesdays at 11am to 12 noon
on
19th and 26th March, 2nd and 9th April, led by our Vicar,
David.
Everyone is welcome
LENT LUNCH
Saturday, 13th April 2019 from 12 noon to 1.30pm, serving
homemade soup, filled roll and butter, fruit,
followed by tea or coffee
Suggested donation of £5 for Christian Aid We look forward to
your support!

LENT BOXES
This year, during Lent, we will be asking members of the church
family to collect their spare change and donations in a Lent Box on
behalf of Christian Aid. The boxes, to be given out next Sunday,
are somewhat larger than we have been given in previous years for
the various charities we support, however, you can empty them to
hand to the treasurer at any time; and we hope that you will wish
to Gift Aid your donations if you are a UK tax payer. To do this,
please just include with your gift, a gift aid envelope, to be
found in any of the pews. The boxes can be kept, and if you feel
you would like to continue using them after Lent to put spare
change in to go to Christian Aid throughout the year, the treasurer
will be happy to accept your gift at any time. Just mark the
envelope you place your gift in ‘for Christian Aid’, or other
mission supported by the church. Thank you!
APCM & ELECTORAL ROLL – IMPORTANT INFORMATION!
This year, before the Annual Parochial Church meeting, to be
held on 28th April 2019 following the morning service, we need to
renew the Electoral Roll for the parish. If you are on, or wish to
be on the new roll, please speak to Ken Hobbs, as everyone that
wants to be on the church electoral roll needs to complete a new
form. We should display the list for all to see, however, in line
with GDPR, we would like to protect your personal details and so
please be assured we will not be displaying the list. Please also
give some prayerful thought as to what role you might like to be
nominated for, or who you would like to nominate. This might be
Churchwarden or PCC member. In this parish we elect members
annually so the relevant forms will soon be available and must be
completed by the APCM.

From your Parish Treasurer:
You will have been issued with the Parish Annual Report
and Accounts along with the 2018 Minutes of the Annual
Parish Church Meeting [APCM]. Could I ask if you have any
queries relating to the Financial Report, please seek me out
during this time before our APCM and I will endeavour to
answer your query. Thank you. Ken
