Lord, let me know mine end Maurice Greene (1696-1755) Lord, let me know mine end and the number of my days, That I may be certified how long I have to live. Behold, Thou hast made my days as it were a span long; And mine age is as nothing in respect of Thee, And verily, ev’ry man living is altogether vanity. For man walketh in a vain shadow And disquieteth himself in vain; He heapeth up riches and cannot tell who shall gather them. And now, Lord, what is my hope? Truly my hope is ev’n in Thee. Hear my prayer, O Lord And with Thine ears consider my calling, Hold not Thy peace at my tears. O spare me a little, that I may recover my strength Before I go hence and be no more seen. Thou knowest Lord Henry Purcell (1659-1695) Thou knowest, Lord, the secrets of our hearts. Shut not thy merciful ears unto our prayers; But spare us, Lord most holy. O God most mighty O holy and most merciful Father Thou most worthy Judge eternal Suffer us not at our last hour For any pains of death to fall from Thee. Amen. Hear my prayer Hear my prayer, Lord, and let my crying come unto Thee. Henry Purcell O clap your hands Orlando Gibbons (1583-1625) O clap your hands together, all ye people, O sing unto God with the voice of melody, For the Lord is high and to be feared. He is the great King upon all the earth, of all the earth. He shall subdue the people under us, and the nations under our feet. He shall choose out an heritage for us, even the worship of Jacob, whom he loved. God is gone up with a merry noise and the Lord with the sound of the trumpet. O sing praises unto our God, O sing praises unto the Lord our King.
For God is the King of all the earth, sing ye praises with understanding. God reigneth over the heathen, God sitteth upon his holy seat. For God which is highly exalted, doth defend the earth as it were with a shield. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son to the Holy Ghost, As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be, world without end. Amen INTERVAL – 40 Minutes Blessed be the God and Father Samuel Sebastian Wesley (1810-1876) Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, which according to His abundant mercy hath begotten us again unto a lively hope by the resurrection of Jesus Christ from the dead. To an inheritance incorruptible, and undefiled, that fadeth not away, reserved in heaven for you, who are kept by the power of God through faith unto salvation ready to be revealed in the last time. But as He which hath called you is holy, so be ye holy in all manner of conversation. Pass the time of your sojourning here in fear. See that ye love one another with a pure heart fervently. Being born again, not of corruptible seed, but of incorruptible, by the word of God. For all flesh is as grass, and all the glory of man as the flower of grass. The grass withereth, and the flower thereof falleth away. But the word of the Lord endureth for ever. Amen Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace Samuel Sebastian Wesley Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace, whose mind is stayed on Thee. The darkness is no darkness with Thee, but the night is as clear as the day. The darkness and the light to Thee are both alike. God is light, and in Him is no darkness at all. O let my soul live, and it shall praise Thee, For Thine is the kingdom, the power and the glory, for evermore. Beati quorum via Charles Villiers Stanford (1852-1924) Beati quorum via integra est, Qui ambulant in lege Domini. Blessed are those whose way is blameless, who walk in the law of the Lord.
