Trinity Sunday

June 7, 2009

The important point is not whether we can fully under-

stand the Trinity, even with the help of illustrations, but
whether we will believe what the Bible has to say about
the Father, Son and Holy Spirit, and about their relation-
ship to each other. — James Montgomery Boice
We are missional Anglicans seeking the kingdom of God
in our hearts, our homes, our church and our world.

The Prelude
How Great Is Our God
The splendor of the King, clothed in majesty
Let all the earth rejoice, All the earth rejoice
He wraps Himself in light, And darkness tries to hide
And trembles at His voice,, And trembles at His voice
(Chorus)
How great is our God
Sing with me, How great is our God
And all will see how great, How great is our God
And age to age He stands, And time is in His hands
Beginning and the End, Beginning and the End
The Godhead, three in one, Father, Spirit, Son
The Lion and the Lamb, The Lion and the Lamb
(Bridge)
Name above all names, Worthy of all praise
My heart will sing, How great is our God

Joyous Light
Hail Gladdening Light, sun so bright
Jesus Christ, end of night
Alleluia
Hail Gladdening Light, Eternal Bright
At evening time, 'round us shine,
Alleluia, Alleluia
(chorus)
We hymn the Father, we hymn the Son
We hymn the Spirit wholly Divine
No one more worthy of songs to be sung
To the Giver of Life all glory is Thine
Hail Gladdening Light, such joyous Light
O Brilliant Star, forever shine,
Alleluia, alleluia

The Hymn In Procession

Holy, Holy, Holy

Holy holy holy, Lord God Almighty
Early in the morning our song shall rise to Thee
Holy holy holy, merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, Blessed Trinity
Holy holy holy, all the saints adore Thee
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before Thee
Which wert and art and evermore shall be
Holy holy holy though the darkness hide Thee
Though the eye of sinful man, Thy glory may not see
Only Thou art holy, there is none beside Thee
Perfect in power, in love and purity
Holy holy holy Lord God Almighty
All Thy works shall praise Thy name in earth and sky and sea
Holy holy holy, merciful and mighty
God in three Persons, Blessed Trinity

your servants grace, by the confession of a true faith, to
acknowledge the glory of the eternal Trinity, and in the
power of your divine Majesty to worship the Unity: Keep
us steadfast in this faith and worship, and bring us at last to
see you in your one and eternal glory, O Father; who with
the Son and the Holy Spirit live and reign, one God, for ever

He has established the world; it shall never be moved;
2your throne is established from of old; *

you are from everlasting.

3The floods have lifted up, O LORD,

the floods have lifted up their voice; *
the floods lift up their roaring.
4More majestic than the thunders of mighty waters, *

more majestic than the waves of the sea,

majestic on high is the LORD!

5Your decrees are very sure; *

holiness befits your house,

O LORD, for evermore.

The Nicene Creed
We believe in one God,
the Father, the Almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all that is, seen and unseen.

We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ,

the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father,
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made,
of one Being with the Father.
Through him all things were made.
For us and for our salvation
he came down from heaven:
by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary,
and was made man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate;
he suffered death and was buried.
On the third day he rose again
in accordance with the Scriptures;
he ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead,
and his kingdom will have no end.

We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son.
With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified.
He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church.
We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins.
We look for the resurrection of the dead,
and the life of the world to come. Amen.

That your Name may be glorified by all people.

We pray for all bishops, priests, and deacons;

That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and Sacraments.

We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the nations of the world;
That there may be justice and peace on the earth.

Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake;

That our works may find favor in your sight.

Have compassion on those who suffer from any grief or trouble;

That they may be delivered from their distress.

Give to the departed eternal rest.

We praise you for your saints who have entered into joy;

things done and left undone;
and so uphold us by your Spirit
that we may live and serve you in newness of life,
to the honor and glory of your Name;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Wonderful, Merciful Savior

Wonderful merciful Savior
Precious Redeemer and Friend
Who would have thought that a Lamb
Could rescue the souls of men
Oh You rescue the souls of men
(Chorus)
You are the One that we praise
You are the One we adore
You give the healing and grace
Our hearts always hunger for
Oh our hearts always hunger for
Counselor Comforter Keeper

Falling before Your throne
Oh we're falling before Your throne

Than any earthly thing
So won't You reign in me again
