Prayer and Gloria, Collect of the Day

First Lesson: Job 19 v. 21-27 Have pity upon me, have pity upon me, O ye my friends;for the hand of God hath touched me.Why do ye persecute me as God,and are not satisfied with my flesh?Oh that my words were now written!oh that they were printed in a book!

That they were graven with an iron pen and leadin the rock for ever!For I know that my redeemer liveth,and that he shall stand at the latter day upon the earth:and though after my skin worms destroy this body,yet in my flesh shall I see God:whom I shall see for myself,and mine eyes shall behold, and not another;though my reins be consumed within me.

Remain seated to sing: Psalm 66 v. 14-end

Jubilate Deo

CAN O come hither, and hearken, all ye that fear God: and I will tell you what he hath done for my söul.

FULL

I called unto him with my mouth :and gave him praises with_my tongue.

CAN If I incline unto wickedness with mine heart :the Lord will not hear me.

FULL

But God hath heard me :and considered the voice of my prayer.

CAN Praised be God, who hath not cast out my prayer:FUL

Lnor turned his mercy from me.

Second Lesson: James 1 v. 17-21Every good gift and every perfect gift is from above, and cometh down from the Father of lights, with whom is no variableness, neither shadow of turning. Of his own will begat he us with the word of truth, that we should be a kind of firstfruits of his creatures.

O Almighty God, who alone canst order the unruly wills and affection of sinful men: Grant unto thy people, that they may love the thing which thou commandest, and desire that which thou dost promise; that so, among the sundry and manifold changes of the

Wherefore, my beloved brethren, let every man be swift to hear, slow to speak, slow to wrath: for the wrath of man worketh not the righteousness of God. Wherefore lay apart all filthiness and superfluity of naughtiness, and receive with meekness the engrafted word, which is able to save your souls.

Sequence: NEH 519 Victimae Paschali

Gospel acclamation:

I tell you the truth: It is expedient for you that I go away.

THE GOSPEL: John 16 v. 5-15Jesus said unto his disciples, Now I go my way to him that sent me; and none of you asketh me, Whither goest thou? But because I have said these things unto you, sorrow hath filled your heart. Nevertheless I tell you the truth; It is expedient for you that I go away: for if I go not away, the Comforter will not come unto you; but if I depart, I will send him unto you. And when he is come, he will reprove the world of sin, and of righteousness, and of judgment: of sin, because they believe not on me; of righteousness, because I go to my Father, and ye see me no more; of judgment, because the prince of this world is judged.I have yet many things to say unto you, but ye cannot bear them now. Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all

truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come. He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you. All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you.

Sermon: The Rev’d Dr Michael LloydPrincipal of Wycliffe Hall
