COMMON PRAISE 202
THERE IS A GREEN HILL
FAR AWAY
There is a green hill
far away,
Outside a city wall,
Where the dear Lord
was crucified
Who died to save us all.
We may not know,
We cannot tell
What pains he had
to bear;
But we believe it
was for us
He hung and
suffered there.
He died that we
might be forgive,
He died to make us good,
That we might go
at last to heaven,
Saved by his precious
Blood.
There was no other
good enough
To pay the price of sin;
He only could
unlock the gate
Of heaven,
and let us in.
O dearly, dearly
has he loved,
And we must
love him too,
And trust in his
redeeming blood,
And try his works to do.
INTRODUCTORY RESPONSE—CROSS
[RESPONSE THROUGHOUT IN Black]
Christ became obedient
unto death for us,
Even death upon a cross.
He was pierced for our
sins,
Bruised for no fault but
ours.
His punishment has won
our peace,
And by his wounds
we are healed.
Worthy is the Lamb that
was slain to receive
power and riches and
wisdom,
Strength, honour, glory,
and praise. Amen.
THE SOLEMN INTERCESSION
Dear people of God,
our heavenly Father sent
his Son into the world,
not to condemn the
world, but that the world
through him might be
saved, that all who believe
in him might be delivered
from the power of sin and
death and become heirs
with him of eternal life.
Let us pray for the
one holy catholic and
apostolic Church of Christ
throughout the world:
for its unity in witness and
service, for all bishops and
other ministers and the
people whom they serve,
for Claude our bishop,
and all the people of this
Diocese, for all Christians
in this City, for those
about to be baptized,
that the Lord will confirm
his Church in faith,
increase it in love,
and preserve it in peace.
Silence and then together…
Almighty and everlasting
God, by your Spirit the
whole body of your
faithful people is
governed and sanctified.
Receive our supplications
and prayers which we
offer before you for all
members of your holy
Church, that in our
vocation and ministry we
may truly and devoutly
serve you;
through our Lord and
Saviour Jesus Christ.
Amen.
Let us pray for all nations
and peoples of the earth,
and for those in authority
among them: for
Elizabeth our Queen
and all the Royal Family,
for Stephen the Prime
Minister and for the
Government of Canada,
for David the Premier of
this Province of New
Brunswick and the
members of the
Legislature,
for Brad the Mayor of this
Municipality and those
who serve with him on
the City Council, for all
who serve the common
good, that by God’s help
they may seek justice and
truth, and live in peace
and concord.
Silence and then together…
Almighty God, kindle, we
pray, in every heart the
true love of peace, and
guide with your wisdom
those who take counsel
for the nations of the
earth, that justice and
peace may increase,
until the earth is filled
with the knowledge of
your love; through Jesus
Christ our Lord. Amen.
Let us pray for all who
suffer and are afflicted in
body or in mind:
for the hungry and
homeless, the destitute
and the oppressed, and
all who suffer persecution
or prejudice, for the sick,
the wounded, and the
handicapped, for those in
loneliness, fear, and
anguish, for those who
face temptation, doubt,
and despair, for the
sorrowful and bereaved,
for prisoners and captives
and those in mortal
danger, that God in his
mercy will comfort and
relieve them, and grant
them the knowledge
of his love, and stir up in
us the will and patience
to minister to their needs.
Silence and then together…
Gracious God, the
comfort of all who
sorrow, the strength of
all who suffer, hear the
cry of those in misery
and need. In their
afflictions show them
your mercy, and give us,
we pray, the strength to
serve them, for the sake
of him who
suffered for us, your Son
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Let us pray for all who
have not received the
gospel of Christ:
for all who have not heard
the words of salvation,
for all who have lost their
faith, for all whose sin has
made them indifferent to
Christ, for all who actively
oppose Christ by word or
deed, for all who are
enemies of the cross of
Christ, and persecutors of
his disciples, for all who in
the name of Christ have
persecuted others, that
God will open their hearts
to the truth, and lead
them to faith and
obedience.
Silence and then together…
Merciful God, creator of
the peoples of the earth
and lover of souls, have
compassion on all who
do not know you as you
are revealed in your
Son Jesus Christ. Let your
gospel be preached with
grace and power to those
who have not heard it,
turn the hearts of those
who resist it, and bring
home to your fold those
who have gone astray;
that there may be one
flock under one
shepherd,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Let us commit ourselves
to God, and pray for the
grace of a holy life, that
with all who have
departed this life and
have died in the peace of
Christ, and those whose
faith is known to God
alone, we may be
accounted worthy to
enter into the fullness of
the joy of our Lord,
and receive the crown
of life in the day of
resurrection.
Silence and then together…
O God of unchangeable
power and eternal light,
look favourably on your
whole Church, that
wonderful and sacred
mystery. By the effectual
working of your
providence, carry out
in tranquility the plan of
salvation. Let the whole
world see and know that
things which were cast
down are being raised
up, and things which had
grown old are being
made new, and that all
things are being brought
to their perfection
by him through whom
all things were made,
your Son Jesus Christ our
Lord; who lives and
reigns with you, in the
unity of the Holy Spirit,
one God, forever and
ever. Amen.
Holy is the Name
I Know
We approach
the Cross…
MEDITATION ON THE CROSS OF JESUS
Christ our Lord became
obedient unto death.
Come let us worship.
Is it nothing to you, all
you who pass by? Look
and see if there is any
sorrow like my sorrow
which was brought upon
me, which the Lord
inflicted on the day of his
fierce anger.
Holy God, holy and
mighty, holy and
immortal one, have
mercy upon us.
O my people, O my
Church, what have I done
to you, or in what have I
offended you?
Testify against me.
I led you forth from the
land of Egypt, and
delivered you by the
waters of baptism,
but you have prepared a
cross for your Saviour.
Holy God, holy and
mighty, holy and
immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
I led you through the
desert forty years,
and fed you with manna.
I brought you through
tribulation and penitence,
and gave you my body,
the bread of heaven,
but you have prepared
a cross for your Saviour.
Holy God, holy and
mighty, holy and
immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
What more could I have
done for you that I have
not done?
I planted you, my chosen
and fairest vineyard, I
made you the branches of
my vine; but when I was
thirsty,
you gave me vinegar to
drink, and pierced with a
spear the side of your
Saviour.
Holy God, holy and
mighty,
holy and immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
I went before you in a
pillar of cloud, and you
have led me to the
judgement hall of Pilate.
I scourged your enemies
and brought you to a land
of freedom, But you have
scourged, mocked, and
beaten me. I gave you the
water of salvation from
the rock, but you have
given me gall and left me
to thirst.
Holy God, holy and
mighty, holy and
immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
I gave you a royal sceptre,
and bestowed the keys
to the kingdom, but you
have given me a crown of
thorns. I raised you on
high with great power,
but you have hanged me
on the cross.
Holy God, holy and
mighty,
holy and immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
My peace I gave, which
the world cannot give,
and washed your feet as a
sign of my love, but you
draw the sword to strike
in my name, and seek
high places in my
kingdom.
I offered you my body and
blood, but you scatter and
deny and abandon me.
Holy God, holy and
mighty,
holy and immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
I sent the Spirit of truth
to guide you, and you
close your hearts to the
Counsellor. I pray that all
may be as one in the
Father and me, but you
continue to quarrel
and divide. I call you to
go and bring forth fruit,
but you cast lots for my
clothing.
Holy God, holy and
mighty,
holy and immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
I grafted you into the tree
of my chosen Israel, and
you turned on them with
persecution and mass
murder. I made you joint
heirs with them of my
covenants, but you made
them scapegoats for your
own guilt.
Holy God, holy and
mighty,
holy and immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
I came to you as the least
of your brothers and
sisters; I was hungry and
you gave me no food,
I was thirsty and you
gave me no drink,
I was a stranger and you
did not welcome me,
naked and you did not
clothe me, sick and in
prison and you did not
visit me.
Holy God, holy and
mighty,
holy and immortal one,
have mercy upon us.
THEME HYMN
Every Star
Shall Sing a Carol
Lyrics and Music
by Sydney Carter
The Hymn Book [1971]
Every star shall sing a
carol - every creature,
high or low,
come and praise the
King of Heaven
by whatever Name you
know.
God above, man below,
holy is the Name I know.
When the King of all
creation had a cradle on
the earth,
holy was the human
body,
holy was the human
birth,
God above, man below,
holy is the Name I know.
Who can tell what other
cradle,
high above the milky way,
still may rock the
King of heaven
on another Christmas
day?
God above, man below,
holy is the Name I know.
Who can count
how many crosses,
Still to come or long ago,
Crucify the
King of Heaven?
Holy is the Name I know.
God above, man below,
holy is the Name I know.
Who can tell what other
body he will hallow for
his own?
I will praise the Son of
Mary,
brother of my blood and
bone.
God above, man below,
Holy is the Name I know.
Every star and every
planet, every creature,
high and low,
come and praise the
King of Heaven
by whatever Name you
know.
God above, man below,
holy is the Name I know.
Holy is the Name
I Know
Forgive them...
MEDITATION ON THE CROSS OF JESUS
We glory in your cross, O
Lord,
And praise and glorify
your holy resurrection;
for by virtue of your
cross joy has come
to the whole world.
May God be merciful to
us and bless us, show us
the light of his
countenance, and come
to us.
Let your ways be known
upon the earth, your
saving health among all
nations.
Let the peoples praise
you, O God; let all the
peoples praise you.
We glory in your cross,
O Lord, and praise and
glorify your holy
resurrection;
for by virtue of your
cross joy has come to
the whole world.
COMMON PRAISE 386
WHEN I SURVEY
THE WONDROUS CROSS
When I survey
the wondrous cross
On which the
Prince of glory died,
My richest gain
I count but loss,
And pour contempt
on all my pride.
Forbid it, Lord,
that I should boast,
Save in the cross of
Christ, my God;
All the vain things
that charm me most,
I sacrifice them
to his blood.
See, from his head,
his hands, his feet,
Sorrow and love
flow mingled down;
Did e’re such love
and sorrow meet,
Or thorns compose
so rich a crown?
Were the whole realm
of nature mine,
That were an offering
far too small;
Love so amazing,
so divine,
Demands my soul,
my life, my all.
Holy is the Name
I Know
You will be
with me…
LITANY FOR LENT

and apostolic Church

CHORAL ANTHEM
Christ Was Wounded
Tune: FELINFOEL
Text: M. Dawney
COMMON PRAISE 185
SING MY TONGUE
Sing my tongue, the
glorious battle; sing the
ending of the fray;
now above the cross the
trophy sound the loud
triumphant lay; tell how
Christ, the world’s
redeemer, as a victim
won the day.
Tell how, when at length
the fullness of the
appointed time was come,
Christ, the Word, was born
of woman, left for us his
heavenly home; showed
us human life made
perfect, shone as light
amid the gloom.
Thus, with thirty years
accomplished, went he
forth from Nazareth,
Destined, dedicated,
willing, wrought his work
and met his death.
Like a lamb he humbly
yielded on the cross
his dying breath.
Faithful cross, thou sign
of triumph, now for us
the noblest tree,
None in foliage, none in
blossom, none in fruit thy
peer may be; Symbol of
the world’s redemption,
for the weight that
hung on thee.
Unto God be praise and
glory; to the Father and
the Son, to the eternal
Spirit honour now and
evermore be done;
Praise and glory in the
highest, while unending
ages run.
Holy is the Name
I Know
Why...?

COMMON PRAISE 198
OH SACRED HEAD
SURROUNDED
Oh sacred head surrounded
be crown of piercing thorn;
O royal head so wounded ,
reviled and put to scorn,
Death’s shadows rise before
you, the glow of life decays,
Yet angel hosts adore you
and tremble as they gaze!
Your youthfulness an
vigour are spent, your
strength is gone, and in
your tortured figure I see
death drawing on; What
agony of dying, what love,
to sinners free! My Lord,
all grace supplying, O turn
your face on me!
Your sinless soul’s
oppression was all for
sinners’ gain; Mine, mine
was the transgression,
but yours the deadly pain;
I bow my head, my Saviour,
for I deserve your place;
O grant to me your favour,
and heal me by your grace.
What language shall I
borrow, to thank you,
dearest friend, For this
your dying sorrow, your
mercy without end? Lord:
make me yours forever:
your servant let me be,
And may I never, never
betray your love for me.
Holy is the Name
I Know
I thirst…
CANTICLE—THE LORD’S SERVANT
ISAIAH 53.3-6
He was despised; he was
rejected,
a man of sorrows,
acquainted with grief.
As one from whom
people hide their faces,
he was despised, and we
esteemed him not.
Ours were the sufferings
he bore,
ours the torments he
endured,
while we thought he was
being punished,
struck by God and
brought low.
He was pierced for
our sins,
bruised for no fault but
ours.
His punishment has
won our peace,
and by his wounds we
are healed.
We had all strayed
like sheep,
all taking our own way;
but the Lord laid on him
the guilt of us all.

COMMON PRAISE 184
MY SONG
IS LOVE UNKNOWN
My song is love unknown,
my Saviour’s love to me;
Love to the loveless shown,
that they might lovely be.
O who am I,
that for my sake
My Lord should take frail
flesh and die?
He came from his blest
throne, salvation to bestow
But all made strange, and
none the longed-for
Christ would know;
But O my friend,
my friend indeed,
Who at my need
his life did spend!
Sometimes they strew his
way, and his sweet
praises sing, resounding
all the day hosannas to
their King;
Then “Crucify!” is all their
breath, and for his death
they thirst and cry.
Why, what has my Lord
done? What makes this
rage and spite? He made
the lame to run, he gave
the blind their sight.
Sweet injuries! Yet they
at these themselves
displease, and ’gainst
him rise.
They rise and needs will
have My dear Lord made
away; A murderer they
save, The Prince of life
they slay.
Yet cheerful he
to suffering goes,
That he his foes from
thence might free.
Here might I stay and sing,
No story so divine;
Never was love, dear King,
Never was grief like thine!
This is my friend,
in whose sweet praise
I all my days could
gladly spend.
Holy is the Name
I Know
Into your hands
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray.
Almighty God, look
graciously, we pray, on
this your family, for
whom our Lord Jesus
Christ was willing to be
betrayed and given into
the hands of sinners, and
to suffer death upon the
cross, who now lives
and reigns with you and
the Holy Spirit, one God,
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Almighty God, whose Son
our Saviour Jesus Christ
was lifted high upon the
cross that he might draw
the whole world to
himself, may we who
rejoice in the mystery of
our redemption, have
grace to take up our cross
and follow him, who lives
and reigns with you
and the Holy Spirit, one
God, now and for ever.
Amen.
And now, as our Saviour
Christ has taught us,
we are bold to say,
Our Father, who art in
heaven, hallowed be thy
Name, thy kingdom
come, thy will be done,
on earth as it is in
heaven.
Give us this day our daily
bread and forgive us our
trespasses, as we forgive
Those who trespass
against us.
And lead us not into
temptation, but deliver us
from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory,
for ever and ever. Amen.

Go to dark Gethsemane,
Ye that feel the
tempter’s power.
Your Redeemer’s
conflict see;
Watch with him
one bitter hour;
Turn not from his

Jesus Christ to pray.
Follow to the judgement
Hall; View the Lord of life
arraigned.
O the wormwood
and the gall! O the grief
his soul sustained!
Shun not suffering,
shame
or loss; Learn of him
to bear the cross.
Calvary’s mournful
mountain climb;
There, adoring at his feet,
Mark that miracle of time –
God’s own sacrifice
complete.
“It is finished,” hear him
Cry; Learn of Jesus Christ
to die.
Holy is the Name
