Today’s Music
Liturgy We Live
Today’s organ prelude is the quietly intense “Choral
Dorien” by Jehan Alain(1911-1940). Alain was born
in Saint-Germain-en-Laye in the western suburbs of
Paris, into a family of musicians. His father, Albert
Alain (1880–1971) was an enthusiastic organist, composer and organ-builder who had studied with Alexandre Guilmant and Louis Vierne. His younger brother
was the composer, organist and pianist Olivier Alain
(1918–1994), his youngest sister the organist MarieClaire Alain (1926–2013). Between 1927 and 1939,
he attended the Paris Conservatoire. Alain was posthumously awarded the Croix de Guerre for his bravery in
WWII and was buried, by the Germans, with full military honours. The postlude is the Plein Jeu of the Second Suite by French composer Louis-Nicolas Clerambault (1676-1749). Like Alain, Clérambault came from
a musical family (his father and two of his sons were
also musicians). Clérambault became the organist at the
church of the Grands-Augustins and entered the service
of Madame de Maintenon. After the death of Louis XIV,
he became organist at the church of Saint-Sulpice and
the royal house of Saint-Cyr.
by Dr. Gil Haas
In imperial Roman processions, the positions closer to
the emperor at the procession’s conclusion were places
of honor. Our Christian processions mimic this scenario.
A verger, with their verge, “clears the way”...making a
“path” through the congregation. The thurifer follows,
employing incense to “cleanse” ceremoniously the building in which the procession proceeds. The processional
cross, or crucifix (in Anglo-Catholic parishes), is next,
lit by honorific torches emphasizing Christ’s importance.
A single processional cross is the norm in most Anglican processions. If a layperson carries the Gospel book,
that person follows next. If a clergy carries the book, that
clergy maintains their usual position. Banners are processed before the person(s) that they honor. If the parish
is honored with its banner, the banner precedes the choir,
who process next. Laypersons in the service follow the
choir. A second, smaller cross can be carried before
the clergy processing in order of precedence: assisting
priests, subdeacon (replaced at St. Paul’s by a layperson
who reads the epistle), deacon, rector/dean (or celebrant
if the bishop is absent), bishop’s cross, bishop’s banner,
bishop’s chaplain (carrying the bishop’s crosier if the
bishop chooses not to), and finally, the bishop. Requested

The Cathedral Choir sings a setting of “O Salutaris Hostia” by Jehan Alain (see above).
Hymn Notes
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.
Jesus shall reign where e’er the sun - Hymnal 544
This is a paraphrase of the second part of Psalm 72. This
missionary hymn was actually written 50 years before
the beginning of the modern missionary movement.
Here is an example of Christianizing the Psalms, for
there was no doubt in Watts’ mind that the “King” of the
Psalm was Christ, whose kingdom would stretch around
the world.
God of grace and God of glory - Hymnal 594
This hymn text was written by Harry Emerson Fosdick
for the opening of Riverside Church in New York City.
Built with major financial support from the Rockefeller
family, the church was opened on October 5, 1930. To
mark this occasion Fosdick wrote this hymn at his summer home in Boothbay Harbor, Maine.

Processional Hymn
Hymnal 544, verses 1-5
Jesus shall reign where-e’er the sun
doth his successive journeys run;
his kingdom stretch from shore to shore,
till moons shall wax and wane no more.
To him shall endless prayer be made,
and praises throng to crown his head;
his Name like sweet perfume shall rise
with every morning sacrifice.
People and realms of every tongue
dwell on his love with sweetest song;
and infant voices shall proclaim
their early blessings on his Name.
Blessings abound where-e’er he reigns:
the prisoners leap to lose their chains,
the weary find eternal rest,
and all who suffer want are blest.
Let every creature rise and bring
peculiar honors to our King;
angels descend with songs again,
and earth repeat the loud amen.

Dominus regnavit
Exodus 33:12-23
A Reading from the Book of Exodus.
Moses said to the LORD, “See, you have said to me,
`Bring up this people’; but you have not let me know
whom you will send with me. Yet you have said, `I know
you by name, and you have also found favor in my sight.’
Now if I have found favor in your sight, show me your
ways, so that I may know you and find favor in your
sight. Consider too that this nation is your people.” He
said, “My presence will go with you, and I will give you
rest.” And he said to him, “If your presence will not go,
do not carry us up from here. For how shall it be known
that I have found favor in your sight, I and your people,
unless you go with us? In this way, we shall be distinct,
I and your people, from every people on the face of the
earth.” The LORD said to Moses, “I will do the very
thing that you have asked; for you have found favor in
my sight, and I know you by name.” Moses said, “Show
me your glory, I pray.” And he said, “I will make all my
goodness pass before you, and will proclaim before you
the name, `The LORD’; and I will be gracious to whom
I will be gracious, and will show mercy on whom I will
show mercy. But,” he said, “you cannot see my face; for
no one shall see me and live.” And the LORD continued,
“See, there is a place by me where you shall stand on the
rock; and while my glory passes by I will put you in a
cleft of the rock, and I will cover you with my hand until
I have passed by; then I will take away my hand, and you
shall see my back; but my face shall not be seen.”
The LORD is King; let the people tremble; *
he is enthroned upon the cherubim;
let the earth shake.
The LORD is great in Zion; *
he is high above all peoples.
Let them confess his Name,
which is great and awesome; *
he is the Holy One.
“O mighty King, lover of justice,
you have established equity; *
you have executed justice and righteousness
in Jacob.”
Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God
and fall down before his footstool; *
he is the Holy One.
Moses and Aaron among his priests,
and Samuel among those who call upon his Name, *
they called upon the LORD, and he answered them.
He spoke to them out of the pillar of cloud; *
they kept his testimonies
and the decree that he gave them.
The Word of the Lord.
Thanks be to God.
O LORD our God, you answered them indeed; *
you were a God who forgave them,
yet punished them for their evil deeds.
Proclaim the greatness of the LORD our God
and worship him upon his holy hill; *
for the LORD our God is the Holy One.

Gospel Hymn
1 Thessalonians 1:1-10
Hymnal 705, verses 1-2
As those of old their first fruits brought
of vineyard, flock, and field
to God, the giver of all good,
the source of bounteous yield;
so we today our first fruits bring,
the wealth of this good land,
of farm and market, shop and home,
of mind, and heart, and hand.
A Reading from the First Epistle to the Thessalonians.
Paul, Silvanus, and Timothy, To the church of the Thessalonians in God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ:
Grace to you and peace. We always give thanks to God
for all of you and mention you in our prayers, constantly
remembering before our God and Father your work of
faith and labor of love and steadfastness of hope in our
Lord Jesus Christ. For we know, brothers and sisters
beloved by God, that he has chosen you, because our
message of the gospel came to you not in word only,
but also in power and in the Holy Spirit and with full
conviction; just as you know what kind of persons we
proved to be among you for your sake. And you became
imitators of us and of the Lord, for in spite of persecution you received the word with joy inspired by the
Holy Spirit, so that you became an example to all the
believers in Macedonia and in Achaia. For the word of
the Lord has sounded forth from you not only in Macedonia and Achaia, but in every place your faith in God
has become known, so that we have no need to speak
about it. For the people of those regions report about us
what kind of welcome we had among you, and how you
turned to God from idols, to serve a living and true God,
and to wait for his Son from heaven, whom he raised
from the dead-- Jesus, who rescues us from the wrath
that is coming.
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.
Gospel
Matthew 22:15-22
W W W The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Matthew.
Glory be to thee, O Lord.
The Pharisees went and plotted to entrap Jesus in what
he said. So they sent their disciples to him, along with
the Herodians, saying, “Teacher, we know that you are
sincere, and teach the way of God in accordance with
truth, and show deference to no one; for you do not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you think.
Is it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?” But
Jesus, aware of their malice, said, “Why are you putting
me to the test, you hypocrites? Show me the coin used
for the tax.” And they brought him a denarius. Then he
said to them, “Whose head is this, and whose title?”
They answered, “The emperor’s.” Then he said to them,
“Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the
emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.” When
they heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and
went away.

Thanks be to God.

Wherefore, O Lord and heavenly Father, according to

And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father,
to hear us; and, of thy almighty goodness, vouchsafe
to bless and sanctify, with thy Word and Holy Spirit,
these thy gifts and creatures of bread and wine; that we,
receiving them according to thy Son our Savior Jesus
Christ’s holy institution, in remembrance of his death

Holy, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts:

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.

and worship only thee.
So shall my walk be close with God,
calm and serene my frame;
so purer light shall mark the road
that leads me to the Lamb.
Post-communion Prayer Let us pray.
BCP 339
[Please stand or kneel if you are able]
Almighty and everliving God,
we most heartily thank thee
for that thou dost feed us, in these holy mysteries,
with the spiritual food
of the most precious Body and Blood
of thy Son our Savior Jesus Christ;
and dost assure us thereby of thy favor
and goodness towards us;
and that we are very members incorporate
in the mystical body of thy Son,
the blessed company of all faithful people;
and are also heirs, through hope,
of thy everlasting kingdom.
And we humbly beseech thee,
O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy grace,
that we may continue in that holy fellowship,
and do all such good works
as thou hast prepared for us to walk in;
through Jesus Christ our Lord,
to whom, with thee and the Holy Ghost,
be all honor and glory, world without end. Amen.
Cure thy children’s warring madness,
bend our pride to thy control;
shame our wanton, selfish gladness,
rich in things and poor in soul.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal,
lest we miss thy kingdom’s goal.
Save us from weak resignation
to the evils we deplore;
let the gift of thy salvation
be our glory evermore.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
serving thee whom we adore,
serving thee whom we adore.
Blessing
BCP 339
The peace of God, which passeth all understanding,
keep your hearts and minds in the knowledge and love
of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord; and the
blessing of God Almighty, W the Father, the Son, and
the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you
always. Amen.
The Dismissal
Alleluia, Alleluia. Go in peace to love and serve the
Lord.
Thanks be to God. Alleluia, Alleluia.
[Please stand if you are able]
Closing Hymn
Postlude
Hymnal 594, verses 1-4
God of grace and God of glory,
on thy people pour thy power;
crown thine ancient Church’s story;
bring her bud to glorious flower.
Grant us wisdom, grant us courage,
for the facing of this hour,
for the facing of this hour.
Pastoral Prayers
Plein Jeu (Suite II)
Louis-Nicholas Clerambault
W
If you desire pastoral prayers, one of our clergy will
remain in the sanctuary after the conclusion of the worship service. Please come forward for private prayer,
the laying on of hands and the anointing of oil.
Lo! the hosts of evil round us
scorn thy Christ, assail his ways!
From the fears that long have bound us
free our hearts to faith and praise:
grant us wisdom, grant us courage
for the living of these days,
for the living of these days.

Parlor Library
Are you in the mood to read a good mystery or adventure story as cooler weather sets in? Check the St.
Paul’s library in the Parlor where we have a large variety of “good reads” by well known authors. Also
find books in all categories: spiritual, self-help, travel,
hobbies, etc. Thank you to all who have donated books
as well as thanks to all who take books to borrow and
return or pass on to others OR simply keep. Since we
want all books to have a chance to be read, books will
remain on the shelves for about 6 months, and then be
donated to the YWCA Women’s Shelter or the Jesus
House to make room for other books now in storage.
