Today’s Music
Liturgy We Live
We are glad to welcome John Potter to the organ
bench today while Mr. Raab is away. Mary Reynolds
will direct our choirs.
by Dr. Gil Haas
Yesterday was the feast of Sts. Crispin and Crispinian.
Although the feast day is no longer listed on the Catholic calendar and was never listed on the Episcopal calendar, the feast remains on the Anglican calendar of
saints. This may be because the English victory over
the French army at the Battle of Agincourt occurred
on St. Crispin’s day; an event immortalized by Shakespeare in Henry V. Crispin and Crispinian, the patron
saints of cobblers and leather workers, were twin brothers born to Roman nobility in the third century. They
fled Christian persecution to Soissons, France (the site
of their major shrine), where they preached Christianity while making shoes at night. Their success angered
the regional governor who tortured them and threw
them into a river with millstones round their necks.
Though they survived, they were later beheaded. Sts.
Crispin and Crispinian are intimately linked to our diocese, since the recognition of the Diocese of Oklahoma
as a mission in Indian Territory and later as a diocese
occurred around their feast day. Our Diocesan seal
portrays a shoemaker’s awl and leather knife, emblems
of the brothers. Our Diocesan Convention Center and
camp is named in their honor.
The Cathedral Choir sings a standard anthem from the
English Tudor repertoire, “Lord, for thy tender mercies’ sake.” The music has been attributed to several
composers, including Richard Farrant and John Hilton.
Hymn Notes
O God, our help in ages past- Hymnal 680
This text by Isaac Watts is probably not only his bestknown work, but one of his finest. A masterful paraphrase of Psalm 90:1-5, it can be found in practically
every English-language hymnal around the world. Its
matching with this tune occurred early in the 19th century. The authorship of this famous tune has long been
disputed. Although it cannot be established with absolute certainty, there is now little room for doubt that it
was composed by Dr. William Croft, organist of the
Chapel Royal and Westminster Abbey and the leading
composer during Queen Anne’s reign.
Before the Service
Please keep a moment of silence to prepare your
hearts and minds for worship and if you so desire
you may use the following prayer:
Gracious Father, we pray for your holy catholic
Church. Fill it with all truth, in all truth with all peace.
Where it is corrupt, purify it; where it is in error, direct it; where in any thing it is amiss, reform it. Where
it is right, strengthen it; where it is in want, provide
for it; where it is divided, reunite it; for the sake of
Jesus Christ your Son our Savior. Amen.

Almighty God, unto whom all hearts are open,

Processional Hymn
Hymnal 379, verses 1-3
God is Love, let heaven adore him;
God is Love, let earth rejoice;
let creation sing before him
and exalt him with one voice.
God who laid the earth’s foundation,
God who spread the heavens above,
God who breathes through all creation:
God is Love, eternal Love.
Summary of the Law
BCP 324
Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith:
Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and
with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This is the first
and great commandment. And the second is like unto
it: Thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two
commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
God is Love; and love enfolds us,
all the world in one embrace:
with unfailing grasp God holds us,
every child of every race.
And when human hearts are breaking
under sorrow’s iron rod,
then we find that selfsame aching
deep within the heart of God.
The Gloria
BCP 324
Hymnal S202
Glory be to God on high,
and on earth peace, good will towards men.
We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee,
we glorify thee,
we give thanks to thee for thy great glory,
O Lord God, heavenly King,
God the Father Almighty.
O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ;
O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father,
that takest away the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us.
Thou that takest away the sins of the world,
receive our prayer.
Thou that sittest at the right hand
of God the Father,
have mercy upon us.
For thou only art holy;
thou only art the Lord;
thou only, O Christ,
with the Holy Ghost,
W art most high in the glory of God the Father.
Amen.
God is Love; and though with blindness
sin afflicts all human life,
God’s eternal loving kindness
guides us through our earthly strife.
Sin and death and hell shall never
o’er us final triumph gain;
God is Love, so Love for ever
o’er the universe must reign.
Opening Acclamation
BCP 323, Hymnal S77

Lesson

Lord, you have been our refuge
from one generation to another.
Deuteronomy 34:1-12
A Reading from the Book of Deuteronomy.
Before the mountains were brought forth,
or the land and the earth were born,
from age to age you are God.
Moses went up from the plains of Moab to Mount Nebo,
to the top of Pisgah, which is opposite Jericho, and the
LORD showed him the whole land: Gilead as far as Dan,
all Naphtali, the land of Ephraim and Manasseh, all the
land of Judah as far as the Western Sea, the Negeb, and
the Plain-- that is, the valley of Jericho, the city of palm
trees-- as far as Zoar. The LORD said to him, “This is
the land of which I swore to Abraham, to Isaac, and to
Jacob, saying, `I will give it to your descendants’; I have
let you see it with your eyes, but you shall not cross over
there.” Then Moses, the servant of the LORD, died there
in the land of Moab, at the LORD’s command. He was
buried in a valley in the land of Moab, opposite Bethpeor, but no one knows his burial place to this day. Moses was one hundred twenty years old when he died; his
sight was unimpaired and his vigor had not abated. The
Israelites wept for Moses in the plains of Moab thirty
days; then the period of mourning for Moses was ended.
Joshua son of Nun was full of the spirit of wisdom, because Moses had laid his hands on him; and the Israelites obeyed him, doing as the LORD had commanded
Moses. Never since has there arisen a prophet in Israel
like Moses, whom the LORD knew face to face. He was
unequaled for all the signs and wonders that the LORD
sent him to perform in the land of Egypt, against Pharaoh and all his servants and his entire land, and for all
the mighty deeds and all the terrifying displays of power
that Moses performed in the sight of all Israel.

You turn us back to the dust and say,
“Go back, O child of earth.”
For a thousand years in your sight
are like yesterday when it is past
and like a watch in the night.
You sweep us away like a dream;
we fade away suddenly like the grass.
In the morning it is green and flourishes;
in the evening it is dried up and withered.
Return, O LORD; how long will you tarry?
be gracious to your servants.
Satisfy us by your loving-kindness in the morning;
so shall we rejoice and be glad
all the days of our life.
Make us glad by the measure of the days
that you afflicted us
and the years in which we suffered adversity.
Show your servants your works
and your splendor to their children.
May the graciousness of the LORD
our God be upon us;
prosper the work of our hands;
prosper our handiwork.
Lesson
A world in need now summons us
to labor, love, and give;
to make our life an offering
to God that all may live;
the Church of Christ is calling us
to make the dream come true:
a world redeemed by Christ-like love;
all life in Christ made new.
1 Thessalonians 2:1-8
A Reading from the First Epistle to the Thessalonians.
You yourselves know, brothers and sisters, that our coming to you was not in vain, but though we had already
suffered and been shamefully mistreated at Philippi, as
you know, we had courage in our God to declare to you
the gospel of God in spite of great opposition. For our
appeal does not spring from deceit or impure motives
or trickery, but just as we have been approved by God
to be entrusted with the message of the gospel, even
so we speak, not to please mortals, but to please God
who tests our hearts. As you know and as God is our
witness, we never came with words of flattery or with
a pretext for greed; nor did we seek praise from mortals, whether from you or from others, though we might
have made demands as apostles of Christ. But we were
gentle among you, like a nurse tenderly caring for her
own children. So deeply do we care for you that we are
determined to share with you not only the gospel of God
but also our own selves, because you have become very
dear to us.
Gospel
Matthew 22:34-46
W W W The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Matthew.
Glory be to thee, O Lord.
When the Pharisees heard that Jesus had silenced the
Sadducees, they gathered together, and one of them,
a lawyer, asked him a question to test him. “Teacher,
which commandment in the law is the greatest?” He said
to him, “`You shall love the Lord your God with all your
heart, and with all your soul, and with all your mind.’
This is the greatest and first commandment. And a second is like it: `You shall love your neighbor as yourself.’
On these two commandments hang all the law and the
prophets.” Now while the Pharisees were gathered together, Jesus asked them this question: “What do you
think of the Messiah? Whose son is he?” They said to
him, “The son of David.” He said to them, “How is it
then that David by the Spirit calls him Lord, saying,
`The Lord said to my Lord, “Sit at my right hand, until I
put your enemies under your feet”’? If David thus calls
him Lord, how can he be his son?” No one was able to
give him an answer, nor from that day did anyone dare
to ask him any more questions.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.

And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching thee to grant that, by the
merits and death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through
faith in his blood, we, and all thy whole Church, may
obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of
his passion.
[Please kneel if you are able]
All glory be to thee, Almighty God, our heavenly Father,
for that thou, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only
Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the cross for our
redemption; who made there, by his one oblation of himself once offered, a full, perfect, and sufficient sacrifice,
oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of the whole world;
and did institute, and in his holy Gospel command us to
continue, a perpetual memory of that his precious death
and sacrifice, until his coming again.
And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, ourselves, our souls and bodies, to be a reasonable, holy,
and living sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee
that we, and all others who shall be partakers of this
Holy Communion, may worthily receive the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, W be
filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction, and
made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and
we in him.
For in the night in which he was betrayed, he took bread;
and when he had given thanks, he brake it, and gave it to
his disciples, saying, “Take, eat, this is my Body, which
is given for you. Do this in remembrance of me.”
And although we are unworthy, through our manifold
sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice, yet we beseech
thee to accept this our bounden duty and service,
not weighing our merits, but pardoning our offenses,
through Jesus Christ our Lord;
Likewise, after supper, he took the cup; and when he had
given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink ye all of
this; for this is my Blood of the New Testament, which is
shed for you, and for many, for the remission of sins. Do
this, as oft as ye shall drink it, in remembrance of me.”
By whom, and with whom, and in whom,
in the unity of the Holy Ghost
all honor and glory be unto thee,
O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.
Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, according to
the institution of thy dearly beloved Son our Savior Jesus Christ, we, thy humble servants, do celebrate and
make here before thy divine Majesty, with these thy
holy gifts, which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his
mighty resurrection and glorious ascension; rendering
unto thee most hearty thanks for the innumerable benefits procured unto us by the same.

Before the hills in order stood,
or earth received her frame,
from everlasting thou art God,
to endless years the same.
A thousand ages in thy sight
are like an evening gone;
short as the watch that ends the night
before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever-rolling stream,
bears all our years away;
they fly, forgotten, as a dream
dies at the opening day.
O God, our help in ages past,
our hope for years to come,
be thou our guide while life shall last,
and our eternal home.

Who has authority? Who justifies? How are we free?
The Letter of Paul to the Galatians explores these questions and is one of the most important letters that Paul
wrote in making Christianity a world religion. Come explore how Christ has authority in our lives, how Christ
justifies us and how through Christ we are set free. In
exploring these deep questions we will learn how Jesus
Christ impacts our lives and our faith today and everyday. Led by Dean Lindstrom in Dean Willey Hall.
