John 20. 1-18

The Gospel readings the past few

weeks have identified for us the vision

God has for the growth of his

Kingdom.

God in his great abundance sows the

seed of faith with seemingly reckless

abandon, in poor and rich soil alike. As

members of Christ’s Body we are

called to tend these soils, watering

them with his life–giving word and

nourishing them with the sacraments

of grace he gifts to his Church. We all

are given gifts to encourage the growth

of these seeds, with faith and hope and

love. Whether you are skilled in music,

or art; singing, or writing; listening, or

sharing – we are all gardeners in God’s

Kingdom!

Gradual Hymn

Come down, O Love divine,

seek now this soul of mine,

and visit it with your own ardour glowing;

O Comforter, draw near,

within my heart appear

and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.

There let it freely burn,

till earthly passions turn

to dust and ashes, in its heat consuming;

and let your glorious light

shine ever on my sight

and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

Let holy charity

my outer garment be,

and lowliness become my inner clothing:

true lowliness of heart,

which takes the humbler part

and for its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.

And so the yearning strong

with which the soul will long

shall far outpass the power of human telling;

for none can guess its grace

till we become the place

in which the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

Bianco da Siena d. 1434 tr. Richard Frederick Littleda1e 1833-90 alt.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns 16th July 2017

Offertory Hymn (during singing of this hymn a collection will be taken up for Cathedral ministry)

Behold the amazing gift of love

the Father has bestowed,

that we, though sinners, should be called

the children of our God.

Concealed as yet this honour lies,

by this dark world unknown,

a world that knew not when he came,

ev'n God's eternal Son.

High is the rank we now possess,

but higher we shall rise;

though what we shall hereafter be

is hid from mortal eyes.

Our souls, we know, when he appears,

shall bear his image bright;

for all his glory, full disclosed,

shall open to our sight.

A hope so great, and so divine,

may trials well endure;

and purge the soul from guilt and sin,

as Christ himself is pure.

1 John 3:1-3 as in Scottish Paraphrases 1781 alt. probably by William Cameron 1751-1811 based on a para-

phrase by Isaac Watts 1674-1748

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns 16th July 2017

Final Hymn

Forth in your name, O Lord, I go,

my daily labour to pursue,

you, Lord, alone resolved to know,

in all I think, or speak, or do.

Each task your wisdom has assigned

still let me cheerfully fulfil,

in all my works your presence find,

and prove your good and perfect will.

You may I set at my right hand,

whose eyes my inmost substance view,

and labour on at your command,

and offer all my works to you.

Give me to bear your easy yoke,

and every moment watch and pray,

and still to things eternal look,

and hasten to your glorious day;

for you delightfully employ

all that your bounteous grace has given,

and run my course with even joy,

and closely walk with you to heaven.

Charles Wesley 1707-88 alt.
