READINGS THIS WEEK

COLLECT Almighty God, who sent your servant John the Baptist to prepare your people to wel-come the Messiah, inspire us, the ministers and stewards of your truth, to turn our diso-bedient hearts to you, that when the Christ shall come again to be our judge, we may stand with confidence before his glory; who is alive

DECEMBER 6, 2015 7

and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. PRAYER OVER THE GIFTS God our strength, we are nothing without you. Re-ceive all we offer you this day as you sustain us with your mercy, in the name of Jesus Christ our Lord. PRAYER AFTER COMMUNION Faithful God, we thank you for feeding us with this heavenly banquet. Help us always to hear the prophet's call to turn our hearts to you; in the name of Jesus Christ the Lord. A READING FROM THE BOOK OF MALACHI See, I am sending my mes-senger to prepare the way before me, and the Lord whom you seek will sudden-ly come to his temple. The messenger of the covenant in whom you delight indeed, he is coming, says the Lord

of hosts. But who can en-dure the day of his coming, and who can stand when he appears? For he is like a re-finer's fire and like fullers' soap; he will sit as a refiner and purifier of silver, and he will purify the descendants of Levi and refine them like gold and silver, until they present offerings to the Lord in righteousness. Then the offering of Judah and Jerusa-lem will be pleasing to the Lord as in the days of old and as in former years. MALACHI 3:1-4 A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE PHILIPPIANS I thank my God every time I remember you, -constantly praying with joy in every one of my prayers for all of you, -because of your shar-ing in the gospel from the first day until now. -I am confident of this, that the one who began a good work among you will bring it to completion by the day of Je-

DECEMBER 6, 2015 8

sus Christ. -It is right for me to think this way about all of you, because you hold me in your heart, for all of you share in God's grace with me, both in my imprison-ment and in the defence and confirmation of the gospel. -For God is my witness, how I long for all of you with the compassion of Christ Jesus. And this is my prayer, that your love may overflow more and more with knowledge and full insight -to help you to determine what is best, so that in the day of Christ you may be pure and blameless, -having produced the harvest of righteousness that comes through Jesus Christ for the glory and praise of God. - PHILIPPIANS 1:3-11 THE HOLY GOSPEL OF OUR LORD JESUS CHRIST ACCORDING TO LUKE In the fifteenth year of the reign of Emperor Tiberius, when Pontius Pilate was governor of Judea, and Her-

od was ruler of Galilee, and his brother Philip ruler of the region of Ituraea and Trachonitis, and Lysanias ruler of Abilene, during the high priesthood of Annas and Caiaphas, the word of God came to John son of Zechariah in the wilderness. He went into all the region around the Jordan, proclaim-ing a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins, -as it is written in the book of the words of the prophet Isaiah, "The voice of one cry-ing out in the wilderness: 'Prepare the way of the Lord, make his paths straight. Eve-ry valley shall be filled, and every mountain and hill shall be made low, and the crooked shall be made straight, and the rough ways made smooth; -and all flesh shall see the salvation of God.'" LUKE 3:1-6

Canticle: The Song of Zechariah Chant No. 9

Blessed be the Lord, the / God of Israel; for he has come to his people and / set them free. He has raised up for us a / mighty Saviour, born of the house of his / servant David. Through his holy prophets he promised of old, that he would save us / from our enemies, from the hands of / all who hate us. He promised to show mercy / to our fathers and to remember his / holy covenant. This was the oath he swore to our / father Abraham, to set us free from the hands / of our enemies, free to worship him / without fear, holy and righteous in his sight all the days / of our life. You, my child, shall be called the prophet of / the Most High, for you will go before the Lord to pre-/pare his way, to give his people knowledge / of salvation by the forgiveness / of their sins. In the tender compassion / of our God the dawn from on high shall / break upon us, to shine on those who dwell in darkness and the / shadow of death, and to guide our feet into the / way of peace.

Introit Text O Radix Jesse O Root of Jesse, which standest for an ensign of the people, at whom kings shall shut their mouths, to whom the Gentiles shall seek: Come and deliver us, and tarry not. O Clavis David O Key of David, and Sceptre of the house of Israel; that openest and no man shutteth: and shuttest, and no man openeth: Come and bring the prisoner out of the prison house, and him that sitteth in darkness, and the shadow of death.  Canticle

Tone VIII.2

Cantor BLESS-ED be the Lord God of Is-ra^el: All for he hath visited and redeem-ed his peo-ple; All AND HATH raised up a mighty salvation for us: in the house of his ser-vant Da-vid; Cantor AS HE spake by the mouth of his holy Pro-phets: which have been since the world be^gan; All THAT WE should be saved from our en-e^mies: and from the hands of all that hate us; Cantor TO PER-form the mercy promised to our fore-fa-thers: and to remember his ho-ly co-ve^nant; All TO PER-form the oath which he sware to our forefather A-bra^ham: that he would grant us Cantor THAT WE being delivered out of the hands of our en-e^mies: might serve him with-out fear, All IN HO-liness and righteousness be-fore him: all the days of our life. Cantor AND THOU, child, shalt be called the Prophet of the High-est: for thou shalt go before the face of the Lord to pre-pare his ways; All TO GIVE knowledge of salvation unto his peo-ple: for the remis-sion of their sins; Cantor THROUGH THE tender mercy of our God:

DECEMBER 6, 2015 11

whereby the day-spring from on high hath vi-sit-ed us; All TO GIVE light to them that sit in darkness, and in the shadow of death: and to guide our feet in-to the way of^peace.  

A Guide To Singing the Advent Plainsong Psalms and Canticles a) A word or syllable in bold type indicates a change of note and the beginning of the mediation or ending. b) Two words or syllables joined by the sign ^ must be sung to the same note. c) A word or syllable with two dots above it will require two notes. Communion Motet Text Canite tuba in Sion, quia prope est dies Domini. Ecce venit ad salvan-dum nos: erunt prava in directa, et aspera in vias planas: veni Domine, et noli tardare. Sound the trumpet in Sion, for the day of the Lord is at hand. Behold he comes for our salvation: he shall make the crooked ways straight and the rough places plain: come, O Lord, and do not delay.  

Choral Benediction Text 1 Peace be to you and grace from him Who freed us from our sins, Who loved us all and shed his blood That we might saved be. 2 Sing holy, holy to our Lord, The Lord Almighty God, Who was and is, and is to come; Sing holy, holy, Lord. 3 Rejoice in heaven, all ye that dwell therein, Rejoice on earth ye saints below, For Christ is coming, is coming soon For Christ is coming soon! 4 E’en so, Lord Jesus, quickly come, And night shall be no more; They need no light, nor lamp, nor sun, For Christ will be their All!
