THE GATHERING

Stand Love Divine, all loves excellingCharles Wesley (1707-88)

NEH 408

Love Divine, all loves excelling,

Joy of heaven, to earth come down,

Fix in us thy humble dwelling,

All thy faithful mercies crown.

Jesu, thou art all compassion,

Pure unbounded love thou art;Visit us with thy salvation,

Enter every trembling heart.

Come, almighty to deliver,

Let us all thy life receive;

Suddenly return, and never,

Never more thy temples leave.

Thee we would be always blessing,Serve thee as thy hosts above,

Pray, and praise thee, without ceasing,

Glory in thy perfect love.

Finish then thy new creation,

Pure and spotless let us be;

Let us see thy great salvation,

Perfectly restored in thee,

Changed from glory into glory,

Till in heaven we take our place,

Till we cast our crowns before thee,

Lost in wonder, love, and praise.

Lord, have mercy.

we are afraid to be seen as your followers.

Christ, have mercy

All Christ, have mercy

Like Thomas in the upper room,

we are slow to believe.Lord, have mercy

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

Sit ReadingActs 11.1-18

Now the apostles and the believers who were in Judea

heard that the Gentiles had also accepted the word of

God. So when Peter went up to Jerusalem, the

circumcised believers criticized him, saying, Why did

you go to uncircumcised men and eat with them? Then

Peter began to explain it to them, step by step, saying, I

was in the city of Joppa praying, and in a trance I saw a

vision. There was something like a large sheet coming

down from heaven, being lowered by its four corners;

and it came close to me. As I looked at it closely I saw

four-footed animals, beasts of prey, reptiles, and birds

of the air. I also heard a voice saying to me, Get up,

Peter; kill and eat. But I replied, By no means, Lord;


8/25

for nothing profane or unclean has ever entered my

mouth. But a second time the voice answered from

heaven, What God has made clean, you must not callprofane. This happened three times; then everything

was pulled up again to heaven. At that very momentthree men, sent to me from Caesarea, arrived at the

house where we were. The Spirit told me to go with

them and not to make a distinction between them and

us. These six brothers also accompanied me, and we

entered the mans house. He told us how he had seen

the angel standing in his house and saying, Send to

Joppa and bring Simon, who is called Peter; he will give

you a message by which you and your entire household

will be saved. And as I began to speak, the Holy Spirit

fell upon them just as it had upon us at the beginning.

And I remembered the word of the Lord, how he had

said, John baptized with water, but you will be

baptized with the Holy Spirit. If then God gave them

the same gift that he gave us when we believed in the

Lord Jesus Christ, who was I that I could hinder God?When they heard this, they were silenced. And they

praised God, saying, Then God has given even to the

Gentiles the repentance that leads to life.This is the word of the Lord.

All Thanks be to God.

Stand Walking in a gardenHilary Greenwood b.1929

NEH 123

All Walking in a gardenAt the close of day,

Adam tried to hide him

When he heard God say:

Why are you so frightened,

Why are you afraid?

You have brought the winter in,

Made the flowers fade.

Walking in a garden

Where the Lord had gone,

Three of the disciples,

Peter, James, and John;

They were very weary,

Could not keep awake,

While the Lord was kneeling there,Praying for their sake.

Walking in a garden,

At the break of day,

Mary asked the gardener

Where the body lay;

But he turned towards her,

Smiled at her and said:Mary, spring is here to stay,

Only death is dead.

The Gospel

John 13.31-35

Hear the Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according

to John.All Glory to you, O Lord.

When he had gone out, Jesus said, Now the Son of

Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in

him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also

glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little

children, I am with you only a little longer. You willlook for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to

you, Where I am going, you cannot come. I give you

a new commandment, that you love one another. Just

as I have loved you, you also should love one another.

By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if

you have love for one another.

This is the Gospel of the LordAll Praise to you, O Christ.

Stand The Creed

Let us declare our faith in God, Father, Son and

Holy Spirit.

All We believe in one God,the Father, the Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth,

of all that is,

seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christthe only Son of God,

eternally begotten of the Father,

God from God, Light from Light,

begotten, not made,

of one Being with the Father;

through him all things were made.

For us and for our salvation he came downfrom heaven,

was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the

Virgin Maryand 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 worshipped

and glorified,who has spoken through the prophets.

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.

Who hath washed us in the tide

Flowing from his pierced side;

Praise we him whose love divine

Gives the guests his blood for wine,

Gives his body for the feast,

Love the Victim, Love the Priest.

Mighty Victim from on high,

Powers of hell beneath thee lie;Death is broken in the fight,

Thou hast brought us life and light.

Now thy banner thou dost wave,

Conquering Satan and the grave.

See the prince of darkness quelled;

Heavens bright gates are open held.

Paschal triumph, Paschal joy,Only sin can this destroy;

From sins death do thou set free,

Souls re-born, dear Lord in thee.

Hymns of glory, songs of praise,

Father unto thee we raise.Risen Lord, all praise to thee,

Ever with the Spirit be.

All and also with you.

always and everywhere to give you thanks,

almighty and eternal Father,

and in these days of Easter

For by the mystery of his passion

Jesus Christ, your risen Son,

has conquered the powers of death and hell

and restored in men and women the image of

your glory.


16/25

16

He has placed them once more in paradise

and opened to them the gate of life eternal.

And so, in the joy of this Passover,earth and heaven resound with gladness,

while angels and archangels and the powers ofall creation

sing for ever the hymn of your glory:

All Holy, holy, holy Lord,God of power and might,

heaven and earth are full of your glory.

Hosanna in the highest.Blessed is he who comes in the name of

the Lord.

Hosanna in the highest.

Accept our praises, heavenly Father,

through your Son our Saviour Jesus Christ,

and as we follow his example and obey his command,

grant that by the power of your Holy Spiritthese gifts of bread and wine

may be to us his body and his blood;

who, in the same night that he was betrayed,

took bread and gave you thanks:

he broke it and gave it to his disciples, saying:

Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you:do this in remembrance of me.


17/25

17

In the same way, after supper

he took the cup and gave you thanks:

he gave it to them, saying:Drink this, all of you;

this is my blood of the new covenant,which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness

of sins.

Do this, as often as you drink it,

in remembrance of me.

Therefore, heavenly Father,

we remember his offering of himself

made once for all upon the cross;

we proclaim his mighty resurrection and

glorious ascension;

we look for the coming of your kingdom,

and with this bread and this cup

we make the memorial of Christ your Son our Lord.

Great is the mystery of faith:All Christ has died

Christ is risen

Christ will come again.

Accept through him, our great high priest,

this our sacrifice of thanks and praise,

and as we eat and drink these holy gifts

in the presence of your divine majesty,renew us by your Spirit, inspire us with your love

and unite us in the body of your Son,

Jesus Christ our Lord.


18/25

Where thy victory, O grave?

Soar we now where Christ has led,

Following our exalted Head;

Made like him, like him we rise;

Ours the cross, the grave, the skies.

Hail the Lord of earth and heaven!

Praise to thee by both be given;

Thee we greet triumphant now;

Hail, the Resurrection thou!
