29 Nov: Never weather-beaten sail – Charles Hubert H. Parry (1848-1918)

Never weather-beaten sail more willing bent to shore, never tired pilgm’s limbs affected slumber more,
than my wearied sprite now longs to fly out of my troubled breast: O come quickly, sweetest Lord, and
take my soul to rest. Ever blooming are the joys of Heaven’s high Paradise, cold age deafs not there our
ears nor vapour dims our eyes. Glory there the sun outshines, whose beams the blessed only see. O
come quickly, glorious Lord, and raise my sprite to Thee!

11 Oct: Strengthen ye the weak hands – William H. Harris (1883-1973)

The Lord hath created medicines out of the earth; and he that is wise will not abhor them. And he hath giv’n men skill, that he might be honour’d in his marvellous works. My son, in thy sickness leave off from sin, and order thy hands aright, and cleanse thy heart from all wickedness. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come; he will come and save you. Then shall the eyes of the blind be open’d, and the ears of the deaf shall be unstopp’d. Then shall the lame man leap as an hart, and the tongue of the dumb shall sing: for in the wilderness shall waters break out, and streams in the desert. The wilderness and the solitary place shall be glad for them; and the desert shall rejoice, and blossom as the rose. It shall blossom abundantly, and rejoice with joy and singing: the glory of Lebanon shall be giv’n unto it, the excellency of Carmel and Sharon, they shall see the glory of the Lord, and the excellency of our god. Strengthen ye the weak hands, and confirm the feeble knees. Say to them that are of a fearful heart, Be strong, fear not: behold, your God will come; he will come and save you. O Saviour of the world, who by thy Cross and precious Blood hast redeem’d us, save us and help us, we humbly beseech thee, O Lord.

12 April: Five Mystical Songs – Ralph Vaughan-Williams (1872-1958)

1 Easter

Rise heart; thy Lord is risen. Sing his praise
Without delays,
Who takes thee by the hand, that thou likewise
With him may'st rise;
That, as his death calcined thee to dust,
His life may make thee gold, and much more, Just.
Awake, my lute, and struggle for thy part
With all thy art.
The cross taught all wood to resound his name
Who bore the same.
His stretched sinews taught all strings, what key
Is best to celebrate this most high day.
Consort both heart and lute, and twist a song
Pleasant and long:
Or since all music is but three parts vied,
And multiplied;
O let thy blessed Spirit bear a part,
And make up our defects with his sweet art.

2. I got me flowers

I got me flowers to strew thy way;
I got me boughs off many a tree:
But thou wast up by break of day,
And brought'st thy sweets along with thee.
The Sun arising in the East,
Though he give light, and the East perfume;
If they should offer to contest
Can there be any day but this,
Though many suns to shine endeavour?
We count three hundred, but we miss:
There is but one, and that one ever.

3. Love bade me welcome

Love bade me welcome: yet my soul drew back,
Guilty of dust and sin.
But quick-ey'd Love, observing me grow slack
From my first entrance in,
Drew nearer to me, sweetly questioning,
If I lack'd anything.
“A guest,” I answer'd, “worthy to be here”:
Love said, “You shall be he.”
“I the unkind, ungrateful? Ah, my dear,
I cannot look on thee.”
Love took my hand, and smiling did reply,
“Who made the eyes but I?”
“Truth, Lord, but I have marr'd them: let my shame
Go where it doth deserve.”
“And know you not,” says Love, “who bore the blame?”
“My dear, then I will serve.”
“You must sit down,” says Love, “and taste my meat”:
So I did sit and eat.

4. The Call

Come, my Way, my Truth, my Life:
Such a Way, as gives us breath:
Such a Truth, as ends all strife:
Such a Life, as killeth death.
Come, My Light, my Feast, my Strength:
Such a Light, as shows a feast:
Such a Feast, as mends in length:
Such a Strength, as makes his guest.
Come, my Joy, my Love, my Heart:
Such a Joy, as none can move:
Such a Love, as none can part:
Such a Heart, as joys in love.

5. Antiphon
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!
The heavens are not too high,
His praise may thither fly:
The earth is not too low,
His praises there may grow.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!
The church with Psalms must shout.
No door can keep them out:
But above all, the heart
Must bear the longest part.
Let all the world in every corner sing,
My God and King!

Lo, the full, final sacrifice – Gerald Finzi (1901-1956)

Lo, the full, final, Sacrifice on which all figures fix’t their eyes. The ransomed Isaac, and his ram; the Manna, and the Paschal Lamb. Jesu Master, just and true! Our Food, and faithful Shepherd too! O let that love which thus makes thee mix with our low Mortality, lift our lean Souls, and set us up convictors of thine own full cup, coheirs of Saints. That so all may drink the same wine; and the same Way. Nor change the Pasture, but the Place to feed of Thee in thine own Face. O dear Memorial of that Death which lives still, and allows us breath! Rich, Royal food! Bountiful Bread! Whose use denies us to the dead! Live ever Bread of loves, and be my life, my soul, my surer self to me. Help Lord, my Faith, my Hope increase; and fill my portion in thy peace. Give love for life; nor let my days grow, but in new powers to thy name and praise. Rise, Royal Sion! rise and sing thy soul’s kind shepherd, thy heart’s King. Stretch all thy powers; call if you can harps of heaven to hands of man. This sovereign subject sits above the best ambition of thy love. Lo the Bread of Life, this day’s triumphant Text provokes thy praise. The living and life-giving bread, to the great twelve distributed when Life, himself, at point to die of love, was his own Legacy. O soft self-wounding Pelican! Whose breast weeps Balm for wounded man. All this way bend thy benign flood to’a bleeding Heart that gasps for blood. That blood, whose least drops sovereign be to wash my worlds of sins from me. Come love! Come Lord! and that long day for which I languish, come away. When this dry soul those eyes shall see, and drink the unseal’d source of thee. When Glory’s sun faith’s shades shall chase, and for thy veil give me thy Face. Amen.

Choral Evensong: Nicholas, Bishop of Myra

Download the Bulletin: https://bit.ly/Dec2022evensong

The December seventh service celebrates Nicholas, Bishop of Myra also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students in various cities and countries around Europe. His reputation evolved among the pious, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus ("Saint Nick") through Sinterklaas[1].

The Very Rev. Bernard J Owens will officiate. Judith Eckelmeyer's Trinity Hodie Service will be sung by the Trinity Cathedral Choir.

Choir: Trinity Cathedral Choir

Officiant: The Very Rev. Bernard J. Owens

Service: Judith Eckelmeyer: Trinity Hodie Service
Anthem: E’en So Lord Jesus Quickly Come – Paul Manz (1919-2009)

Anthem
E’en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come – Paul Manz

Revelation 22, adapted by Ruth Manz

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.
Sing holy, holy to our Lord,
The Lord, Almighty God,
Who was and is and is to come; Sing holy, holy, Lord!
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!
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!

The writing of this anthem came at a time of great stress in the Manz household. John Manz, the three-year-old son of Paul and Ruth Manz, developed a rare type of double pneumonia. The illness produced a very high fever, which required hospitalization and painful treatments to lower his temperature. It became important for Paul and Ruth to give twenty-four hour attention as John’s condition became critical. During this time Paul composed a motif and Ruth wrote a text based on the last chapter of Revelation as a way of expressing their hope and grief. John recovered and later became a Pastor in the Lutheran Church. The original dedication of the piece read, “For those who prayed for John,” but the dedication was later shortened to read, “To John.”Permission to podcast/stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license #719993-A.
