Trinity Sunday 2019 Year C - 16 June at 9 & 11
ALMIGHTY God, unto whom all hearts are open, all desires known, and from whom no secrets are
hid; Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of thy Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love
thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Celebrant Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith.
THOU shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all thy mind. This
is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou shalt love thy neighbour as
thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and the Prophets.
Kyrie Willan
ALMIGHTY and everlasting God, you have given to us 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
and ever. Amen.
The First Lesson is written in the Sixth Chapter of the Book of Isaiah, beginning at the First verse.
In the year that King Uzziah died I saw the Lord sitting upon a throne, high and lifted up; and the
train of his robe filled the temple. Above him stood the seraphim. Each had six wings: with two he
covered his face, and with two he covered his feet, and with two he flew. And one called to another
and said:
“Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts;
the whole earth is full of his glory!”
Page 3
And the foundations of the thresholds shook at the voice of him who called, and the house was filled
with smoke. And I said: “Woe is me! For I am lost; for I am a man of unclean lips, and I dwell in the
midst of a people of unclean lips; for my eyes have seen the King, the Lordof hosts!”
Then one of the seraphim flew to me, having in his hand a burning coal that he had taken with tongs
from the altar. And he touched my mouth and said: “Behold, this has touched your lips; your guilt is
taken away, and your sin atoned for.”
Here endeth the Lesson.
Psalm 29
Ascribe to the Lord, you gods, *
ascribe to the Lord glory and strength.
Ascribe to the Lord the glory due his Name; *
worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness.
The voice of the Lord is upon the waters; the God of glory thunders; *
the Lord is upon the mighty waters.
The voice of the Lord is a powerful voice; *
the voice of the Lord is a voice of splendor.
The voice of the Lord breaks the cedar trees; *
the Lord breaks the cedars of Lebanon;
He makes Lebanon skip like a calf, *
and Mount Hermon like a young wild ox.
The voice of the Lord splits the flames of fire; the voice of the Lord shakes the wilderness; *
the Lord shakes the wilderness of Kadesh.
The voice of the Lord makes the oak trees writhe *
and strips the forests bare.
And in the temple of the Lord *
all are crying, “Glory!”
The Lord sits enthroned above the flood; *
the Lord sits enthroned as King for evermore.
The Lord shall give strength to his people; *
the Lord shall give his people the blessing of peace.

Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Ghost:*
as it was in the beginning, is now, and ever shall be, world without end. Amen.
The Lesson appointed for the Epistle is written in the Fourth Chapter of the Book of Revelation,
beginning at the First Verse.
After this I looked, and behold, a door standing open in heaven! And the first voice, which I had heard
speaking to me like a trumpet, said, “Come up here, and I will show you what must take place after
this.” At once I was in the Spirit, and behold, a throne stood in heaven, with one seated on the
throne. And he who sat there had the appearance of jasper and carnelian, and around the throne was a
rainbow that had the appearance of an emerald.Around the throne were twenty-four thrones, and
seated on the thrones were twenty-four elders, clothed in white garments, with golden crowns on their
heads. From the throne came flashes of lightning, and rumblings and peals of thunder, and before the
throne were burning seven torches of fire, which are the seven spirits of God, and before the throne
there was as it were a sea of glass, like crystal.
And around the throne, on each side of the throne, are four living creatures, full of eyes in front and
behind: the first living creature like a lion, the second living creature like an ox, the third living
creature with the face of a man, and the fourth living creature like an eagle in flight.And the four living
creatures, each of them with six wings, are full of eyes all around and within, and day and night they
never cease to say,
“Holy, holy, holy, is the Lord God Almighty,
who was and is and is to come!”
And whenever the living creatures give glory and honor and thanks to him who is seated on the
throne, who lives forever and ever, the twenty-four elders fall down before him who is seated on the
throne and worship him who lives forever and ever. They cast their crowns before the throne, saying,
“Worthy are you, our Lord and God,
to receive glory and honor and power,
for you created all things,
and by your will they existed and were created.”
Here endeth the Lesson.

Gospel Hymn: 535 - Rise up, O men of God! (1940 Hymnal)
The Holy Gospel is written in the Sixteenth Chapter of the Gospel According to St. John, beginning
at the Fifth Verse.
People Glory be to thee, O Lord.
Jesus said, “Now I am going to him who sent me, and none of you asks me, ‘Where are you going?’
But because I have said these things to you, sorrow has filled your heart. Nevertheless, I tell you the
truth: it is to your advantage that I go away, for if I do not go away, the Helper will not come to you.
But if I go, I will send him to you. And when he comes, he will convict the world concerning sin and
righteousness and judgment: concerning sin, because they do not believe in me; concerning
righteousness, because I go to the Father, and you will see me no longer; concerning judgment,
because the ruler of this world is judged.
“I still have many things to say to you, but you cannot bear them now. When the Spirit of truth
comes, he will guide you into all the truth, for he will not speak on his own authority, but whatever
he hears he will speak, and he will declare to you the things that are to come. He will glorify me, for
he will take what is mine and declare it to you. All that the Father has is mine; therefore I said that
he will take what is mine and declare it to you.”
People Praise be to thee, O Christ.

At the Presentation
Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Old 100th
Praise him, all creatures here below;
Praise him above, ye heavenly host:
Praise Father, Son and Holy Ghost.
ALMIGHTY and everliving God, who by thy holy Apostle hast taught us to make prayers, and
supplications, and to give thanks for all men; We humbly beseech thee most mercifully to accept our
alms and oblations, and to receive these our prayers, which we offer unto thy Divine Majesty;
beseeching thee to inspire continually the Universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and
concord; and grant that all those who do confess thy holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy
Word, and live in unity and godly love.
We beseech thee also, so to direct and dispose the hearts of all Christian rulers, that they may truly
and impartially administer justice, to the punishment of wickedness and vice, and to the maintenance
of thy true religion, and virtue.
Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and other Ministers, that they may, both by their life
and doctrine, set forth thy true and lively Word, and rightly and duly administer thy holy Sacraments.
Page 8
And to all thy People give thy heavenly grace; [and especially ____] and to this congregation here
present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear, and receive thy holy Word; truly
serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of their life.
And we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succour all those who,
in this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other adversity, [especially ____].
And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and fear, [especially
____]; beseeching thee to grant them continual growth in thy love and service, and to give us grace
so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of thy heavenly kingdom. Grant
this, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only Mediator and Advocate. Amen.
ALMIGHTY God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge of all men; We
acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, Which we, from time to time, most
grievously have committed, By thought, word, and deed, Against thy Divine Majesty,
Provoking most justly thy wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, And are
heartily sorry for these our misdoings; The remembrance of them is grievous unto us; The
burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, Have mercy upon us, most merciful Father;
For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, Forgive us all that is past; And grant that we may ever
hereafter Serve and please thee In newness of life, To the honour and glory of thy Name;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all who truly turn to him.
COME unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you. (Matthew 11:28)
So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that believe in him
should not perish, but have everlasting life. (John 3:16)
IT is very meet, right, and our bounden duty that we should at all times, and in all places, give thanks
unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God.
WHO, with thine only-begotten Son, and the Holy Ghost, art one God, one Lord, in Trinity of Persons
and in Unity of Substance. For that which we believe of thy glory, O Father, the same we believe of
the Son, and of the Holy Ghost, without any difference of inequality.
THEREFORE with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud and magnify
thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying,
Sanctus Willan
Page 10
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. 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. 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.
WHEREFORE, O Lord and heavenly Father, according to the institution of thy dearly beloved Son
our Saviour Jesus Christ, we, thy humble servants, do celebrate and make here before thy Divine
Majesty, with these thy holy gifts, which we now offer unto thee, the memorial thy Son hath
commanded us to make; having in remembrance his blessed passion and precious death, his mighty
resurrection and glorious ascension; rendering unto thee most hearty thanks for the innumerable
benefits procured unto us by the same.
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 and passion, may be partakers of his most blessed Body and Blood.
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. And here we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, 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, be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction,
and made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him. 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; By whom, and with whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee,
O Father Almighty, world without end. Amen.
And now, as our Saviour Christ hath taught us, we are bold to say,
Page 11
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, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
WE do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in our own
righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not worthy so much as to gather
up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art the same Lord, whose property is always to have
mercy: Grant us therefore, gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and
to drink his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his body, and our souls washed
through his most precious blood, and that we may evermore dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.

ALMIGHTY and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe to
feed us who have duly received these holy mysteries, with the spiritual food of the most precious
Body and Blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby of thy favour
and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the mystical body of
thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also heirs through hope of
thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of his most precious death and passion. 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 honour and glory, world without
end. Amen.

People Representing Christ
Commemorating Ascension Day recently, we were reminded again of the Lord’s last words
to His followers: “But you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and
you will be my witnesses…to the end of the earth.” (Acts 1:8)
St. George’s parishioners have the privilege of funding the witness to orphan children in
Manyoni, Tanzania. There are some parishioners who “witness” in this way.
The witness being done through Manyoni Orphan Partners (MOPS) is providing lifesaving
care for orphan young people and preparing them for self-supporting living. One young man,
Michael Meshack, who was born with HIV began university studies provided by MOPS
funds last November. Since then he has been very sick with HIV related issues, long weeks
in the hospital, and now slowly recovering. He has missed a full semester of university and
will have to reapply. Please pray that Michael’s recovery will continue to full restoration.
Happiness Dominic, another long-term client had a breast swelling removed earlier this year
with the good report that it was benign and she is cancer-free. Word is received this week
that Happiness’ health is “presently good and Happiness is happily peaceful.”
This is just a tiny glimpse into the difference donors are making in the lives of people in
Tanzania. If you are not presently contributing to MOPS, you too could be the Lord’s witness
in this mission to Manyoni orphans bringing Jesus’ compassion to these lives!
