shall be called children of
God.”

made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore
are they before the throne of God, and serve him day
and night within his temple; and he who sits upon the
throne will shelter them with his presence. They shall
hunger now more, neither thirst anymore; the sun
shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat. For the
Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their
shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living
water; and God will wipe away every tear from their
eyes.”
Psalm 34
Response: O taste and see that the Lord is
gracious.
Choir: I will bless the Lord at all times;
his praise shall be ever in my mouth.
My soul shall glory in the Lord;
let the humble hear and be glad
Response (All)
Choir: O magnify the Lord with me;
let us exalt his name together.
I sought the Lord and he answered me
and delivered me from all my fears.
Response (All)
Collect
Choir: Look up on him and be radiant
and your faces shall not be ashamed.
This poor soul cried, and the Lord heard me
and saved me from all my troubles.
Response (All)
God of holiness, your glory is proclaimed in every age:
as we rejoice in the faith of your saints, inspire us to
follow their example with boldness and joy; through
Jesus Christ Our Lord, to whom with you and the Holy
Spirit be praise and honour, glory and might, now and
in all eternity. Amen
Choir: Fear the Lord, all you his holy ones,
for those who fear him lack nothing.
Lions may lack and suffer hunger,
but those who seek the Lord lack nothing that is good.

Second Reading
First Reading
A reading from the first letter of John (4:1-3)
A reading from the book of Revelation (7:9-end)
Beloved, do not believe every spirit, but test the
spirits to see whether they are of God; for many false
prophets have gone out into the world. By this you
know the Spirit of God: every spirit which confesses
that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh is of God, and
every spirit which does not confess Jesus is not of
God. This is spirit of antichrist, of which you heard
that it was coming, and now it is in the world already.
After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude
which no man could number from every nation, from
all tribes and peoples and tongues, standing before the
throne and before the Lamb, clothed in white robes,
with palm branches in their hands, and crying out
with a loud voice, “Salvation belongs to our God who
sits up on the throne, and to the Lamb!” And all the
angels stood round the throne and round the elders
and the four living creatures, and they fell on their
knees before the throne and worshipped God, saying
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom and
thanksgiving and honour and power and might be to
our God for ever and ever! Amen!”
Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are
these, clothed in white robes, and from where have
they come?” I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he
said to me, “These are they who have come out of the
great tribulation; they have washed their robes and

Blessed are the poor in spirit, for theirs in the
kingdom of heaven.
Blessed are those who mourn, for they shall be
comforted.
Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.
Blessed are those who hunger and thirst for
righteousness, for they shall be satisfied.
Blessed are the merciful, for they shall obtain mercy.
Blessed are the pure in heart, for they shall see God.
Blessed are the peacemakers, for they shall be called
children of God.
Blessed are those who are persecuted for
righteousness’ sake, for theirs is the kingdom of
heaven.
Blessed are you when men revile you and persecute
you and utter all kinds of evil against you falsely on my
account.
Rejoice and be glad, for your reward is great in
heaven, for so men persecuted the prophets who were
before you.
Post Communion Prayer (All)
God the source of all holiness and giver of all
good things: may we who have shared at this
table as strangers and pilgrims here on earth
be welcomed with all your saints to the
heavenly feast on the day of your kingdom;
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
