Organ Voluntary Schmücke dich, O liebe Seele setting: Johannes Brahms

Deck thyself, my soul, with gladness,Leave the gloomy haunts of sadness;Come into the daylight’s splendor,There with joy thy praises renderUnto him whose grace unboundedHath this wondrous banquet founded;High o’er all the heav’ns he reigneth,Yet to dwell with thee he deigneth.

Jesus, Bread of life, I pray thee,Let me gladly here obey thee;Never to my hurt invited,Be thy love with love requited;From this supper let me measure,Lord, how vast and deep its treasure;Through the gifts thou here dost give me,As thy guest in heaven receive me. (Hymn 339)

GreetingDear brothers and sisters, tonight, together with all the faithful in Christ, the Church begins the Sacred Triduum, and devotes herself to the remembrance of the Last Supper. At supper on the night he was betrayed, the Lord Jesus, loving those who were his own in the world, loved them to the end, and offered his Body and Blood in the bread and the wine, gave them to the apostles to eat and drink, and enjoined the apostles to offer them in turn. This Mass is the memorial of Christ’s institution of the Eucharist, by which under sacramental signs he perpetuated among us the sacrifice of the New Covenant. This night is also the memorial of that love by which the Lord loved us even to death, and the command he gave to his Church, the body of all the faithful to love and serve one another as he had done. Let us then, solemnly embark on this sacred journey in union with one another and the whole Church throughout the world.

The AcclamationBless be God, Father, Son and Holy Spirit;

And blessed be his kingdom, now and for ever. Amen.

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 you, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

§ Please say togetherGloria in excelsisGlory be to God on high, and on earth peace, good will towards men.We praise thee, we bless thee, we worship thee, we glorify thee,we give thanks to thee for thy great glory,O Lord God, heavenly King, God the Father Almighty.O Lord, the only-begotten Son, Jesus Christ;O Lord God, Lamb of God, Son of the Father, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.Thou that takest away the sins of the world, receive our prayer.Thou that sittest at the right hand of God the Father, have mercy upon us.For thou only art holy; thou only art the Lord; thou only, O Christ, with the Holy Ghost, art most high in the glory of God the Father. Amen.

Collect for Maundy ThursdayThe Lord be with you.And with thy spirit.Let us pray.Almighty Father, whose dear Son, on the night before he suffered, did institute the Sacrament of his Body and Blood: Mercifully grant that we may thankfully receive the same in remembrance of him who in these holy mysteries giveth us a pledge of life eternal, the same thy Son Jesus Christ our Lord; who now liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit ever, one God, world without end. Amen.

THE LITURGY OF THE WORD

The Reading, Exodus 12:1-14 The Lord said to Moses and Aaron in the land of Egypt: This month shall mark for you the beginning of months; it shall be the first month of the year for you. Tell the whole congregation of Israel that on the tenth of this month they are to take a lamb for each family, a lamb for each household. If a household is too small for a whole lamb, it shall join its closest neighbor in obtaining one; the lamb shall be divided in proportion to the number of people who eat of it. Your lamb shall be without blemish, a year-old male; you may take it from the sheep or from the goats. You shall keep it until the fourteenth day of this month; then the whole assembled congregation of Israel shall slaughter it at twilight. They shall take some of the blood and put it on the two doorposts and the lintel of the houses in which they eat it. They shall eat the lamb that same night; they shall eat it roasted over the fire with unleavened bread and bitter herbs. Do not eat any of it raw or boiled in water, but roasted over the fire, with its head, legs, and inner organs. You shall let none of it remain until the morning; anything that remains until the morning you shall burn. This is how you shall eat it: your loins girded, your sandals on your feet, and your staff in your hand; and you shall eat it hurriedly. It is the passover of the Lord. For I will pass through the land of Egypt that night, and I will strike down every firstborn in the land of Egypt, both human beings and animals; on all the gods of Egypt I will execute judgments: I am the Lord. The blood shall be a sign for you on the houses where you live: when I see the blood, I will pass over you, and no plague shall destroy you when I strike the land of Egypt. This day shall be a day of remembrance for you. You shall celebrate it as a festival to the Lord; throughout your generations you shall observe it as a perpetual ordinance. The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

§ Please say together

Gradual Psalm 116:1, 10-171. I love the LORD, because he has heard the voice of my supplication, *

because he has inclined his ear to me whenever I called upon him.10.How shall I repay the LORD *

for all the good things he has done for me?11.I will lift up the cup of salvation *

and call upon the Name of the LORD.

12.I will fulfill my vows to the LORD * in the presence of all his people.

13.Precious in the sight of the LORD * is the death of his servants.

14.O LORD, I am your servant; * I am your servant and the child of your handmaid; you have freed me from my bonds.

15.I will offer you the sacrifice of thanksgiving * and call upon the Name of the LORD.

16.I will fulfill my vows to the LORD * in the presence of all his people,

17.In the courts of the LORD’s house, * the midst of you, O Jerusalem.

The Second Reading, 1 Corinthians 11:23-26 I received from the Lord what I also handed on to you, that the Lord Jesus on the night when he was betrayed took a loaf of bread, and when he had given thanks, he broke it and said, "This is my body that is for you. Do this in remembrance of me." In the same way he took the cup also, after supper, saying, "This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, as often as you drink it, in remembrance of me." For as often as you eat this bread and drink the cup, you proclaim the Lord's death until he comes. The Word of the Lord.Thanks be to God.

Holy Gospel, John 13:1-17, 31-35 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to John.Glory be to thee, O Lord Now before the festival of the Passover, Jesus knew that his hour had come to depart from this world and go to the Father. Having loved his own who were in the world, he loved them to the end. The devil had already put it into the heart of Judas son of Simon Iscariot to betray him. And during supper Jesus, knowing that the Father had given all things into his hands, and that he had come from God and was going to God, got up from the table, took off his outer robe, and tied a towel around himself. Then he poured water into a basin and began to wash the disciples' feet and to wipe them with the towel that was tied around him. He came to Simon Peter, who said to him, "Lord, are you going to wash my feet?" Jesus answered, "You do not know now what I am doing, but later you will understand." Peter said to him, "You will never wash my feet." Jesus answered, "Unless I wash you, you have no share with me." Simon Peter said to him, "Lord, not my feet only but also my hands and my head!" Jesus said to him, "One who has bathed does not need to wash, except for the feet, but is

entirely clean. And you are clean, though not all of you." For he knew who was to betray him; for this reason he said, "Not all of you are clean." After he had washed their feet, had put on his robe, and had returned to the table, he said to them, "Do you know what I have done to you? You call me Teacher and Lord—and you are right, for that is what I am. So if I, your Lord and Teacher, have washed your feet, you also ought to wash one another's feet. For I have set you an example, that you also should do as I have done to you. Very truly, I tell you, servants are not greater than their master, nor are messengers greater than the one who sent them. If you know these things, you are blessed if you do them. Jesus said, "Now the Son of Man has been glorified, and God has been glorified in him. If God has been glorified in him, God will also glorify him in himself and will glorify him at once. Little children, I am with you only a little longer. You will look for me; and as I said to the Jews so now I say to you, `Where I am going, you cannot come.' I give you a new commandment, that you love one another. Just as I have loved you, you also should love one another. By this everyone will know that you are my disciples, if you have love for one another." The Gospel of the Lord.Praise be to thee, O Christ.

§ Please say togetherHoly, holy, holy, Lord God of Hosts:Heaven and earth are full of thy glory.Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High.Blessed is he that cometh in the name of the Lord.Hosanna in the highest.

The Prayer of ConsecrationAll glory be to thee, O Lord our God, for that thou didst create heaven and earth, and didst make us in thine own image; and, of thy tender mercy, didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to take our nature upon him, and to suffer death upon the cross for our redemption. He made there a full and perfect sacrifice for 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 to thee, he broke 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 this, all of you; for this is my Blood of the New Covenant, 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, we thy people do celebrate and make, 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; and looking for his coming again with power and great glory.And we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us, and, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, to bless and sanctify these gifts of bread and wine, that they may be unto us the Body and Blood of thy dearly-beloved Son Jesus Christ.And we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness to accept this our sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, whereby we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies. Grant, we beseech thee, that all who partake of this Holy Communion may worthily receive the most precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, and be filled with thy grace and heavenly benediction; and also that we and all thy whole Church may be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him; through the same Jesus Christ our Lord;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 now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say,

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.

Breaking of the BreadChrist our Passover is sacrificed for us.Therefore let us keep the feast.O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, have mercy upon us.O Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world, grant us thy peace.

Invitation to CommunionBehold the Lamb of God; behold Him who taketh away the sins of the world. Happy are those who are called to his supper.Lord, I am not worthy that thou shouldest come under my roof; but speak the word only and my soul shall be healed.

§ At this time you are invited to make your Spiritual Communion. Please pray the following, either silently or together with the

Celebrant:

In union, O Lord, with the faithful at every altar of your Church, where the Holy Eucharist is now being celebrated, I desire to offer you praise and thanksgiving. I present to you my soul and body with the earnest wish that I may always be united to you. And since I cannot now receive you sacramentally, I ask you to come spiritually into my heart. I unite myself to you, and embrace you with all the affections of my soul. Let nothing ever separate you from me. May I live and die in your love. Amen.

§ Please observe a time of silent meditation. Then pray together

Post Communion Thanksgiving Almighty God, we receive new life from the supper thy Son hath given us in this world. We pray that we may find full contentment in the heavenly banquet we hope to share in thy eternal kingdom. We ask this through Christ our Lord, who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Ghost, one God now and forever. Amen.

Transfer of the Blessed Sacrament§ The Blessed Sacrament is carried to the place of reposition,

while this hymn is played

Meditation on Pange Lingua David H. WilliamsNow, my tongue, the mystery telling / of the glorious Body sing,And the Blood, all price excelling, / which the Gentiles’ Lord and King,Once on earth among us dwelling, / shed for this world’s ransoming. (Hymn 329)

The Stripping of the Altar§ The Celebrant and assisting minister return to the chancel

for the stripping of the altar (which represents Christ), during which all are invited to meditate on this Psalm.

A Portion Psalm 88 O Lord, my God, my Savior, * by day and night I cry to you.Let my prayer enter into your presence; * incline your ear to my lamentation.For I am full of trouble; * my life is at the brink of the grave.I am counted among those who go down to the Pit; *I have become like one who has no strength;Lost among the dead, * like the slain who lie in the grave,Whom you remember no more, * for they are cut off from your hand.You have laid me in the depths of the Pit, * in dark places, and in the abyss.

Your anger weighs upon me heavily, * and all your great waves overwhelm me.Lord, why have you rejected me? * why have you hidden your face from me?Your blazing anger has swept over me; * your terrors have destroyed me;They surround me all day long like a flood; * they encompass me on every side.My friend and my neighbor you have put away from me, *and darkness is my only companion.

§ The Liturgy concludes in silence; there is no dismissal.

THE FLOWERS AT THE ALTAR are given to the Glory of God by Cynthia Woolley, in loving memory of Charlotte Nevin Pyle,
