St Luke
Jeremiah 8.22-9.3
Psalm 145.10-18
2 Timothy 4.9-17a
Luke 10.1-9
As Paul concludes the letter to the
Philippians, he consoles them with
the thought that the peace of God
would guard their hearts and minds in
Christ. Indeed, this is perhaps the
most consoling thought in Christian
faith: that despite whatever
circumstances in which we find
ourselves, Jesus Christ is God’s eternal
sign that divine peace is always with
us and for us.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns
12th October 2014
Opening Hymn:
Gradual Hymn
I come with joy to meet my Lord,
Forgiven, loved, and free,
In awe and wonder to recall
His life laid down for me.
My God, and is thy table spread,
And doth thy cup with love o’erflow?
Thither be all thy children led,
And let them all thy sweetness know.
I come with Christians far and near
To find, as all are fed,
The new community of love
In Christ’s communion bread.
Hail, sacred feast which Jesus makes,
Rich banquet of his flesh and blood!
Thrice happy he who here partakes
The sacred stream, the heavenly food.
As Christ breaks bread and bids us share
Each proud division ends.
The love that made us, makes us one,
And strangers now are friends.
Why are its bounties all in vain
Before unwilling hearts displayed?
Was not for them the Victim slain?
Are they forbid the children’s bread?
And thus with joy we meet our Lord,
His presence, always near,
Is in such friendship better known:
We see, and praise him here.
O let thy table honoured be,
And furnished well with joyful guests;
And may each soul salvation see,
That here its sacred pledges tastes.
Together met, together bound,
We’ll go our different ways,
And as his people in the world
We’ll live and speak his praise.

Offertory Hymn
Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face;
Here would I touch and handle things unseen,
Here grasp with firmer hand the eternal grace,
And in my weariness upon thee lean.
Here would I feed upon the bread of God,
Here drink with thee the royal wine of heaven;
Here would I lay aside each earthly load,
Here taste afresh the calm of sin forgiven.
This is the hour of banquet and of song,
This is the heavenly table spread for me;
Here let me feast, and, feasting, still prolong
This hallowed hour of fellowship with thee.
Mine is the sin, but thine the righteousness;
Mine is the guilt, but thine the cleansing blood;
Here is my robe, my refuge and my peace–
Thy blood, thy righteousness, O Lord my God.
Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,
Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above,
Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,
The Lamb’s great bridal feast of bliss and love.

Final Hymn
Rejoice, the Lord is King;
Your Lord and King adore;
Let all give thanks and sing,
And triumph evermore;
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice.
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Jesus the Saviour reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purged our stains,
He took his seat above:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice.
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o’er earth and heaven;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus given:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice.
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
He sits at God’s right hand,
Till all his foes submit,
And bow at his command,
And fall beneath his feet:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice.
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
Rejoice in glorious hope;
Jesus the judge shall come,
And take his servants up
To their eternal home:
We soon shall hear th’archangel’s voice;
The trump of God shall sound, rejoice!

Praise the Lord; O give thanks to the Lord, for | he is | good :
and his | mercy . en- | dures for | ever.
Who can express the mighty | acts . of the | Lord :
or | fully | voice his | praise?
Blessed are those who act ac- | cording . to | justice :
who at | all times | do the | right.
Remember me, O Lord,
when you visit your people | with your | favour :
and come to me | also . with | your sal- | vation,
That I may see the prosperity | of your | hosen :
that I may rejoice with the rejoicing of your people,
and exult with | those who | are your | own.
We have sinned | like our | fathers :
we have acted per- | versely | and done | wrong. REFRAIN
At Horeb they made them- | selves a | calf :
and bowed down in | worship | to an | image.
And so they exchanged the | glory . of | God :
for the likeness of an | ox that | eats | hay.
They forgot God who | was their | saviour :
that had done such | great | things in | Egypt,
Who had worked his wonders in the | land of | Ham :
and his terrible | deeds . at the | Red | Sea.
Therefore he thought | to de- | stroy them :
had not Moses his servant stood before him in the breach,
to turn away his | wrath from . de- |stroying | them.

Outreach Poster October 2014
Laureate Prof. Graeme Clark AC,FAA,FRS,Hon.FRCS
At the Cavendish Physics Laboratory, Cambridge University, are the words from Psalm 111:2
“Great are the works of the Lord, they are pondered by
all who delight in them.”
I have been committed to science for a number of decades and also spent the same period
considering the importance of God as Father, Son and Holy Spirit. I have come to learn that
many leading philosophers and scientists see the laws that have produced the physical
universe and the origin of biological life on Earth are the result of a remarkable intelligence,
and their origin is next to impossible from mindless chance.
One of the most exciting discoveries in the last two centuries has been the functioning of the
human brain: probably the most complex structure in the Universe. The brain is more than an
incredibly complex arrangement of electrical circuits, connections & proteins; it is responsible
for our thinking, feeling, morality and creativity. This is a great mystery, and I believe can be
best explained by the fact that we have been created in the image of a God who is personal.
The nature of a personal God is supremely revealed in the life and teachings of Jesus
Christ. Jesus is undoubtedly an historical figure attested to by historians of the time and ancient historians today, as well as the writers of the New Testament, most of whom vouched
for the facts of Jesus’ crucifixion and resurrection with their lives.
A central tenet of Christianity is that “God the father so loved the world that he gave his only
begotten Son [Jesus] that whoever believes in him should not perish but have everlasting
life” (Jn 3:16). The love and self- sacrifice shown by Jesus in his earthly ministry were superlative. There is no one in history who is his equal. His life leaves us in awe. He is the cause
of countless lives being changed to become more like Him in showing love & self-sacrifice.
Finally, I am full of wonder that God would answer my prayers and enable me to reproduce
speech by electrical stimulation of the brain’s auditory pathways. What a privilege it has been
to see profoundly deaf adults & children given new life though the modern cochlear implant.
As Isaiah wrote in the bible “Lord all we have accomplished you have done for us” (Is. 26:12)

MINISTRY OF HOSPITALITY
Visitors to the Cathedral are often
interested in the Soldiers’ Chapel. It was
constructed after WW1.
On the screen facing the nave are the
words, “… erected to the glory of God and
in memory of the sons of the church in this
Diocese who gave their lives in the Great
War 1914-1919.”
These words give us plenty to think and
talk about!
