Josh Wilton · Evensong Te Deum - July 9 2020

Song: Lord By Your Cross And Resurrection

Lord, by your cross and resurrection You have set us free
You are the Saviour of the world

Jesus Christ is Lord (x4)

Lord, by your death and life uprising... You have lifted us
You are the Life of the world

Lord, through obedience and passion... You have made the way
You are Salvation for the world

Psalm 92:1 It is good to praise the LORD and make music to your name, O Most High, 2 to proclaim your love in the morning and your faithfulness at night, 3 to the music of the ten-stringed lyre and the melody of the harp. 4 For you make me glad by your deeds, O LORD; I sing for joy at the work of your hands. 5 How great are your works, O LORD, how profound your thoughts!

Song: Collect for Purity

O Lord...to You our hearts are open
To You our thoughts are known
From You no secret's hidden

Purif - y my heart
Purif - y my heart
That I may bring glory
That I may bring glory
That I may bring glory to You

Te Deum I

We praise you, O God; we acknowledge that you are the Lord.
All the Earth worships you, the Father everlasting.
Angels and powers, all of heaven, cry aloud to You!
Cherubim and Seraphim continually cry

“Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of hosts;
heaven and earth are fullof your majesty and glory.”

The glorious company of the Apostles praise you;
The fellowship of the Prophets praise You;
The noble army of martyrs praise you;
The whole Church throughout the world acknowledges you,
The Father, of an infinite majesty;
Your honorable, true, and only Son;
And the Holy Spirit, the Comforter.

Phos Hilaron Peters Branch

Hail, gladdening Light, of His pure glory poured
The Immortal Father, heavenly, blest,
Holiest of Holies, Holiest of Holies
Holiest of Holies, Jesus Christ our Lord!

Now we have come to the sun’s hour of rest;
The lights of evening round us shine;
We hymn the Father...we hymn the Son,
We hymn the Holy Spirit divine!

Worthiest at all times to be sung
With undefiled...tongue,
Son of our God, giver of life, alone:
In all the world thy glories, Lord, they own.

Pure and Holy Jesus Christ
Drive out Darkness with Your Light (x4)

Glory to God who has shown us the light! (x2)

Lead us from darkness to light, Lead us from sorrow to joy,
Lead us from death into life, lead us.

Te Deum III

O Lord, save your people,
and bless your heritage;
govern them and lift them up for ever.
Day by day we magnify You;
And we worship your Name
unto the end of time. Preserve us, O Lord,
and keep up this day from sin.

O Lord have mercy upon us,
have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let your mercy fall upon us, as we trust in You.
O Lord, in You have we trusted:
let us never be confounded.
O Lord have mercy upon us.

Daniel 9:9 The Lord our God is merciful and forgiving, even though we have rebelled against him; 10 we have not obeyed the LORD our God or kept the laws he gave us through his servants the prophets.

Isaiah 55: 6 Seek the LORD while he may be found; call on him while he is near. 7 Let the wicked forsake his way and the evil man his thoughts. Let him turn to the LORD, and he will have mercy on him, and to our God, for he will freely pardon.

Confession Mark DiCristina

Lord, we confess that we have sinned
Against you and each other
In thought and in word and deed we’ve failed,
And not loved as we should
Have mercy on us,
And forgive us our sin,
That we may delight in your will and walk in your ways
To the glory of Christ, your Son, our Lord

Psalm 42 Sing Team

I have lost my appetite
And a flood is welling up behind my eyes
So I eat the tears I cry
And if that were not enough
They know just the words to cut and tear and prod
When they ask me "Where's your God?”

Why are you downcast, oh my soul?
Why so disturbed within me?
I can remember when you showed your face to me As a deer pants for water, so my soul thirsts for you And when I survey Your splendor,

You so faithfully renew
Like a bed of rest for my fainting flesh

When I'm looking at the ground
It's an inbred feedback loop that drags me down So it's time to lift my brow
And remember better days
When I loved to worship you and learn your ways Singing sweetest songs of praise

Let my sighs give way to songs
that sing about your faithfulness
Let my pain reveal your glory as my only real rest
Let my losses show me all I truly have is you

So when I'm drowning out at sea
And all your breakers and your waves crash down on me I'll recall your safety scheme
You're the one who made the waves
And your Son went out to suffer in my place
And to show me that I'm safe
Why am I down?
Why so disturbed?
I am satisfied in you

Te Deum II

You are the king of glory, O Christ. You are the everlasting Son of the Father. When you took it upon Yourself to deliver man, you looked upon Mary’s womb with favor. When you overcame the sharpness of death, you opened the kingdom of heaven to all believers. You sit at the right hand of God, in the glory of the Father. We believe that you will come to be our Judge. We therefore pray to you, help your servants, whom you have redeemed with your precious blood. Make us to be numbered with the rest of the saints, in glory everlasting.

Almighty God, who has given us grace to agree together in our prayers and come together as a common body – you have said that where two are three are gathered in your Name, there you are also. Hear our desires and our petitions, Lord, and fulfill them as is best for us. And please give us knowledge of Your truth, in this world and in the world to come. Lord in Your mercy...hear our prayer. Amen

So depart in peace, depart in peace (x2)
