INTROIT | Breathe on Me, Breath of God | Robert Jackson, 1894 | Sung by the Chancel Choir, June 2018 9:22 Breathe on me, Breath of God, fill me with life a-new That I may love what thou dost love, and do what thou wouldst do.

Lord God Almighty | NICEA | Setting by Sterling Procter | June 2018 12:58 Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee; Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty; God in three persons, blessed Trinity! Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee, Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea; Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee, God ever-living, through eternity. Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee, Though the sinful human eye thy glory may not see; Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee, Perfect in power, in love, and purity. Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty! All thy works shall praise thy name in earth and sky and sea; Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty; God in three persons, blessed Trinity!

SERMON 30:59 ANTHEM | Upon This Rock by John Ness Beck (1930-1987) | Sung by the Chancel Choir with Plymouth Brass 40:58 Upon this rock I will build my church; and the gates of hell shall not prevail against it. I will give thee the keys of the kingdom of heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt bind on earth shall be bound in heaven. And whatsoever thou shalt loose on earth shall be loosed in heaven.—Matthew 16:18 Lo, the winter is past; the rain is over and gone; the flowers appear on the earth; The time of the singing of birds has come. Arise, and come away. —Song of Solomon 2:11-13 The Church’s one foundation is Jesus Christ our Lord; We are his new creation by water and the Word; From heav’n he came and sought us, for us was crucified; With his own blood he bought us, and for our life he died. Elect from every nation, yet one o’er all the earth, Our charter of salvation, one Lord, one faith, one birth, One holy name professing, we share one holy food, And to one hope still pressing, with very grace endued. ‘Mid toil and tribulation, and tumult of our war, We wait the consummation of peace for evermore; Till with the vision glorious, our longing eyes are blest, And the great church victorious shall be the church at rest. Yet we on earth hath union with God the Three-in-one, And mystic sweet communion with those whose rest is won: O happy ones and Holy! Lord, give us grace that we, Like them, the meek and lowly, on high may dwell with thee. —Samuel J. Stone, alt. Amen.
