Christ Is Made The Sure Foundation

Words: translated by J M Neale (1818-66)
Music: Henry Purcell (1659-95)

Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ, our head and cornerstone,
Chosen of the Lord and precious,
Binding all the Church in one;
Holy Zion’s help forever
And our confidence alone.

To this temple, where we call you,
Come, O Lord of hosts, and stay;
Come with all your lovingkindness,
Hear your people as they pray;
And your fullest benediction
Speak within these walls today.

Grant, we pray, to all your faithful
All the gifts they ask to gain;
What they gain from you forever
With the blessed to retain;
And hereafter in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.

Praise and honor to the Father,
Praise and honor to the Son,
Praise and honor to the Spirit,
Ever three and ever one:
One in might and one in glory
While unending ages run!

Risen Christ,
your wounds declare your love for the world
and the wonder of your risen life:
give us compassion and courage

Reading: Acts 7:55-60

Acts 7:55-60

read by David Worgan

But Stephen, full of the Holy Spirit, looked up to heaven and saw the glory of God, and Jesus standing at the right hand of God.

"Look," he said, "I see heaven open and the Son of Man standing at the right hand of God."

At this they covered their ears and, yelling at the top of their voices, they all rushed at him,

dragged him out of the city and began to stone him. Meanwhile, the witnesses laid their coats at the feet of a young man named Saul.

While they were stoning him, Stephen prayed, "Lord Jesus, receive my spirit."

Then he fell on his knees and cried out, "Lord, do not hold this sin against them." When he had said this, he fell asleep.

Reading: John 14:1-14

John 14:1-14

read by Sally Giles

"Do not let your hearts be troubled. You believe in God; believe also in me.

My Father's house has many rooms; if that were not so, would I have told you that I am going there to prepare a place for you?

And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come back and take you to be with me that you also may be where I am.

You know the way to the place where I am going."

Thomas said to him, "Lord, we don't know where you are going, so how can we know the way?"

Jesus answered, "I am the way and the truth and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me.

If you really know me, you will know my Father as well. From now on, you do know him and have seen him."

Philip said, "Lord, show us the Father and that will be enough for us."

Jesus answered: "Don't you know me, Philip, even after I have been among you such a long time? Anyone who has seen me has seen the Father. How can you say, 'Show us the Father'?

Don't you believe that I am in the Father, and that the Father is in me? The words I say to you I do not speak on my own authority. Rather, it is the Father, living in me, who is doing his work.

Believe me when I say that I am in the Father and the Father is in me; or at least believe on the evidence of the works themselves.

Very truly I tell you, whoever believes in me will do the works I have been doing, and they will do even greater things than these, because I am going to the Father.

And I will do whatever you ask in my name, so that the Father may be glorified in the Son.

You may ask me for anything in my name, and I will do it.

Liturgy: Gospel Reading (part 2)

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

Let us declare our faith
in the resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ.
Christ died for our sins
in accordance with the Scriptures; he was buried;

he was raised to life on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures;
afterwards he appeared to his followers,
and to all the apostles:

this we have received,
and this we believe. Amen.
1 Corinthians 15.3-7

Liturgy: Prayers of Intercession

Lord, in your mercy
hear our prayer.

Merciful Father,
accept these prayers
for the sake of your Son,
our Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.

SlideSet: Liturgy: Easter: Introduction to The Peace

The risen Christ came and stood among his disciples and said ‘Peace be with you’.
And they rejoiced when they saw the Lord.

The peace of the risen Lord be always with you
and also with you.
Let us offer one another a sign of peace.

Hymn: Lord, For The Years Your Love Has Kept And Guided

Lord, For The Years Your Love Has Kept And Guided

Words: Timothy Dudley-Smith (b 1926)
Music: Michael Baughen (b 1930)

Lord, for the years
Your love has kept and guided,
Urged and inspired us,
Cheered us on our way,

Sought us and saved us,
Pardoned and provided:
Lord of the years,
We bring our thanks today.

Lord, for that word,
The word of life which fires us,
Speaks to our hearts
And sets our souls ablaze,

Teaches and trains,
Rebukes us and inspires us:
Lord of the word,
Receive your people's praise.

Lord, for our land
In this our generation,
Spirits oppressed by
Pleasure, wealth and care:

For young and old,
For commonwealth and nation,
Lord of our land,
Be pleased to hear our prayer.

Lord, of our world
Where men disown and doubt you,
Loveless in strength,
And comfortless in pain,

Hungry and helpless,
Lost indeed without you;
Lord of the world,
We pray that Christ may reign.

Lord, of ourselves,
In living power remake us
Self on the cross
And Christ upon the throne,

Past put behind us,
For the future take us;
Lord of our lives,
To live for Christ alone.

SlideSet: Liturgy: Easter: Offertory Prayer

The free gift of God is eternal life in Christ Jesus our Lord.
By His mercy we present our whole lives and gifts to God as a living sacrifice.

Liturgy: Prayer Two

The Lord be with you
All and also with you.

Why is it right to give thanks and praise?
Listen, and we will hear.

Lord of all life,
you created the universe,
where all living things reflect your glory.
You give us this great and beautiful earth,
to discover and to cherish.

You give us sun and moon and star-lit sky,
everything that gives us light,
light for our eyes, our hearts, our minds.

You made us all,
each wonderfully different,
to join with the angels
and sing your praise:

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.

We thank you, loving Father,
because, when we turned away,
you sent Jesus, your Son.
He gave his life for us on the cross
and shows us the way to live.

Send your Holy Spirit
that these gifts of bread and wine
may be for us Christ’s body and his blood.

Why do we share this bread and wine?
Listen, and we will hear.

On the night before he died,
when darkness had fallen,
Jesus took bread.
He gave thanks, broke it,
and shared it with his disciples, saying:
‘This is my body, given for you.
Do this to remember me.’

After they had eaten, he took the cup of wine,
gave thanks, and shared it with his disciples, saying:
‘This is my blood, poured out for you and for many,
for the forgiveness of sins.’

So Father, with this bread and this cup
we celebrate his love, his death, his risen life.
As you feed us with these gifts,
send your Holy Spirit,
and change us more and more
to be like Jesus our Saviour.

How do we follow Jesus Christ?
Listen, and we will hear.

Help us, Father, to love one another,
as we look forward to that day
when suffering is ended,
and all creation is gathered in your loving arms.

And now with [N and] all your saints
we give you glory,
through Jesus Christ,
in the strength of the Spirit,
today and for ever.
Amen.

Liturgy: The Lord's Prayer

As our Saviour taught us, so we pray
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,

on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Lead us not into temptation

but deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power,
and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.

Liturgy: Breaking of the Bread

We break this bread to share in the body of Christ.
Though we are many, we are one body, because we all share in one bread.

SlideSet: Liturgy: Easter: Prayer After Communion

God of our salvation,
we thank you for our communion
with the risen Christ
and with all who love him
in earth and heaven.

Strengthen us by his presence,
so that we can serve you faithfully all our days;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Hymn: And Did Those Feet In Ancient Time

And Did Those Feet In Ancient Time

Words: William Blake (1757-1827)
Music: Charles Hubert Hastings Parry (1848-1918)

And did those feet in ancient time
Walk upon England's mountains green?
And was the holy Lamb of God
On England's pleasant pastures seen?

And did the countenance divine
Shine forth upon our clouded hills?
And was Jerusalem builded here
Among these dark satanic mills?

Bring me my bow of burning gold!
Bring me my arrows of desire!
Bring me my spear! O clouds, unfold!
Bring me my chariot of fire!

I will not cease from mental fight,
Nor shall my sword sleep in my hand,
Till we have built Jerusalem
In England's green and pleasant land.

SlideSet: Liturgy: Easter: The Easter Greeting

Alleluia! Christ is risen.
He is risen indeed. Alleluia!

Hymn: God Save Our Gracious King

God Save Our Gracious King

God save our gracious King,
Long live our noble King,
God save the King!
Send him victorious,

Happy and glorious,
Long to reign over us,
God save the King!

O Lord our God arise,
Scatter our enemies,
And make them fall!
Confound their politics,

Frustrate their knavish tricks,
On Thee our hopes we fix,
God save us all!

Not in this land alone,
But be God’s mercies known,
From shore to shore!
Lord make the nations see,

That men should brothers be,
And form one family,
The wide world o’er.
