From: "Fr John W Fenton (by way of Rev. Eric J. Stefanski, )" To: Subject: HP: Exaudi Propers Date: Thursday, November 01, 2001 12:55 PM Following are the historic propers and hymns employed at Zion Church. (Of course, the OT reading is from the 1958 SBH.) EXAUDI, THE SUNDAY AFTER THE ASCENSION Second Class White Introit + Psalm 27.7-9,1 Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice, alleluia. When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Do not hide Your face from me; alleluia, alleluia. Ps. The Lord is my light and my salvation; Whom shall I fear? Glory be to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; As it was in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. Amen Hear, O Lord, when I cry with my voice, alleluia. When You said, “Seek My face,” my heart said to You, “Your face, Lord, I will seek.” Do not hide Your face from me; alleluia, alleluia. Collect Almighty and everlasting God: make us to have always a devout will toward You; and to serve Your Majesty with a pure heart, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit: one God, now and forever. Old Testament + Isaiah 32.14-20 A reading from the book of the prophet Isaiah. The Word of the Lord came to the prophet Isaiah saying: Because the palaces will be forsaken, the bustling city will be deserted. The forts and towers will become lairs forever, a joy of wild donkeys, a pasture of flocks—until the Spirit is poured upon us from on high, and the wilderness becomes a fruitful field, and the fruitful field is counted as a forest. Then justice will dwell in the wilderness, and righteousness remain in the fruitful field. The work of righteousness will be peace, and the effect of righteousness, quietness and assurance forever. My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places, though hail comes down on the forest, and the city is brought low in humiliation. Blessed are you who sow beside all waters, who send out freely the feet of the ox and the donkey. The Word of the Lord. First Alleluia + Psalm 47.8 Alleluia. Alleluia. God reigns over the nations: God sits on His holy throne. Alleluia. Epistle + 1 Peter 4.7-11 A reading from the first catholic epistle of blessed Peter the Apostle. Beloved: Be serious and watchful in your prayers. And above all things have fervent love for one another, for “love will cover a multitude of sins.” Be hospitable to one another without grumbling. As each one has received a gift, minister it to one another, as good stewards of the manifold grace of God. If anyone speaks, let him speak as the oracles of God. If anyone ministers, let him do it as with the ability which God supplies, that in all things God may be glorified through Jesus Christ, to whom belong the glory and the dominion forever and ever. Amen The Word of the Lord. Second Alleluia + St. John 14.18; 14.28; 16.22 Alleluia. Alleluia. I will not leave you orphans: I am going away and coming back to you, and your heart will rejoice. Alleluia. Gospel + St. John 15.26-16.4 The Lord be with you. The Holy Gospel of Our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ according to St. John. + At that time Jesus said to His disciples: “When the Helper comes, whom I shall send to you from the Father, the Spirit of truth who proceeds from the Father, He will testify of Me. And you also will bear witness, because you have been with Me from the beginning. These things I have spoken to you, that you should not be made to stumble. They will put you out of the synagogues; yes, the time is coming that whoever kills you will think that he offers God service. And these things they will do to you because they have not known the Father nor Me. But these things I have told you, that when the time comes, you may remember that I told you of them.” The Gospel of the Lord. Chief Hymn "Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice" Offertorium + Psalm 47.5 God has gone up with a shout: The Lord with the sound of a trumpet, alleluia. Preface + Ascension Communio + St. John 17.12,13,15 Father, while I was with them in the world, I kept those whom You gave Me, alleluia. But now I come to You. I do not pray that You should take them out of the world: But that You should keep them from the evil one, alleluia, alleluia. Post Communion Collect O Lord, who has satisfied us in this partaking of Your divine nature: grant, we beseech You; that we may both desire and hold fast to that which is godly, through Jesus Christ, Your Son, Our Lord; who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit: one God, now and forever.
