		Introductory Response
Blessed be God: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit.
	And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.
Come, let us worship God our King.
	Come, let us worship Christ, our King and our God.
Come, let us worship Christ among us, our King and our God.
	Holy God,
	holy and mighty,
	holy immortal one,
	have mercy upon us.

How Great Thou Art
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder consider all the works thy hand hath made,
I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder, thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain:	Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee:
		how great thou art, how great thou art!
		Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to thee:

		how great thou art, how great thou art!

When through the woods and forest glades I wander, I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur and hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze;
(Refrain)

But when I think that God, his Son not sparing, sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,
that on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, he bled and died to take away my sin;
(Refrain)

When Christ shall come, with shout of acclamation and claim his own, what joy shall fill my heart!
Then I shall bow in humble adoration and there proclaim, “My God, how great thou art!”
(Refrain)

The Proclamation of the Word
Proverbs 8:1-4,22-31
				Psalm 8
1 Lord our governor, *
	how exalted is your name in all the world!
2 Out of the mouths of infants and children *
	your majesty is praised above the heavens.
3 You have set up a stronghold against your adversaries, *
	to quell the enemy and the avenger.
4 When I consider your heavens, the work of your fingers, *
	the moon and the stars you have set in their courses,
5 What is man that you should be mindful of him? *
	the son of man that you should seek him out?
6 You have made him but little lower than the angels; *
	you adorn him with glory and honour;
7 You give him mastery over the works of your hands; *
	you put all things under his feet;

8 All sheep and oxen, *
	even the wild beasts of the field,
9 The birds of the air, the fish of the sea, *
	and whatsoever walks in the paths of the sea.
10 O Lord our governor, *
	how exalted is your name in all the world!
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit.
As it was in the beginning is now and will be for ever. Amen.

Romans 5:1-5
John 16:12-15 A reflection on the readings (written by the Ven. Glen MIller)

The Apostles’ Creed
I believe in God, the Father almighty,
creator of heaven and earth.
I believe in Jesus Christ, his only Son, our Lord.
He was conceived by the power of the Holy Spirit and born of the Virgin Mary.
He suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, died, and was buried.
He descended to the dead.
On the third day he rose again.
He ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again to judge the living and the dead.
I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.
 				
Father of Heaven, Whose Love Profound
Father of heaven, whose love profound a ransom for our souls hath found,
before thy throne we sinners bend; to us thy pardoning love extend.

Almighty Son, incarnate Word, our prophet, priest, redeemer, Lord,
before thy throne we sinners bend; to us thy saving grace extend.

Eternal Spirit, by whose breath the soul is raised from sin and death,
before thy throne we sinners bend; to us thy quickening power extend.

Thrice holy! Father, Spirit, Son; mysterious God-head, Three in One,
before thy throne we sinners bend; grace, pardon, life to us extend.

The Collect of the day
Father, we praise you: through your Word and Holy Spirit you created all things. You reveal your salvation in all the world by sending to us Jesus Christ, the Word made flesh. Through your Holy Spirit you give us a share in your life and love. Fill us with the vision of your glory, that we may always serve and praise you, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.

The Lord’s prayer
This Day at thy Creating Word

This day at thy creating Word first o’er the earth the light was poured;
O Lord, this day upon us shine and fill our souls with light divine.

This day the Lord for sinners slain in might victorious rose again;
O Jesus, may we lifted be from death of sin to life in thee!

This day the Holy Spirit came with fiery tongues of cloven flame;
O Spirit, fill our hearts this day with grace to hear and grace to pray.

All praise to God the Father be, all praise, eternal Son, to thee,
whom, with the Spirit, we adore forever and forever more.
