Prelude

Processional Hymn Christ Is the World’s True Light Hymnal #542 1. Christ is the world’s true light,

Its Captain of salvation, The Day-star clear and bright Of every race and nation; New life, new hope awakes, For all who own his sway; Freedom her bondage breaks, And night is turned to day.

2. In Christ all races meet, Their ancient feuds forgetting, The whole round world complete, From sunrise to its setting: When Christ is throned as Lord, All shall forsake their fear, To ploughshare beat the sword, To pruning-hook the spear.

3. One Lord, in one great Name Unite us all who own thee;

Cast out our pride and shame That hinder to enthrone thee; The world has waited long, Has travailed long in pain; To heal its ancient wrong,

Come, Prince of Peace, and reign. Opening Acclamation BCP p. 355 Gloria (2x) (in round) Taizé #16

The Collect of the Day (from the insert) The Lesson Jeremiah 8:18-9:1 (from the insert) The Psalm Psalm 79:1-9 (from the insert) The Epistle 1 Timothy 2:1-7 (from the insert)

Sequence Hymn O Master Let Me Walk With Thee Hymnal #660 1. Master, let me walk with thee,

In lowly paths of service free; Tell me thy secret; help me bear The strain of toil, the fret of care.

2. Help me the slow of heart to move

By some clear, winning word of love; Teach me the wayward feet to stay, And guide them in the homeward way.

3. Teach me thy patience; still with thee In closer, dearer, company, In work that keeps faith sweet and strong, In trust that triumphs over wrong.

4. In hope that sends a shining ray

Far down the future’s broadening way, In peace that only Thou canst give, With Thee, O Master, let me live.
