O God the King of glory, you
have exalted your only Son Jesus
Christ with great triumph to your
kingdom in heaven: we beseech
you, leave us not comfortless, but
send your Holy Spirit to
strengthen us and exalt us to the
place where our Saviour Christ is
gone before, who is alive and
reigns with you and the Holy
Spirit, one God, now and for
ever. Amen.
GATHERING:
At the name of Jesus
every knee shall bow,
every tongue confess him
King of glory now;
'tis the Father's pleasure
we should call him Lord,
who from the beginning
was the mighty Word.
At his voice creation
sprang at once to sight:
all the angel faces,
all the hosts of light,
thrones and dominations,
stars upon their way,
all the heavenly orders
in their great array.
Humbled for a season,
to receive a name
from the lips of sinners,
unto whom he came;
faithfully he bore it
spotless to the last,
brought it back victorious
when from death he passed;
Bore it up triumphant,
with its human light,
through all ranks of creatures,
to the central height,
to the throne of Godhead,
to the Father's breast,
filled it with the glory
of that perfect rest.
In your hearts enthrone him;
there let him subdue
all that is not holy,
all that is not true.
Look to him, your Saviour,
in temptations' hour;
let his will enfold you

o'er the earth to reign; what tongue can recite?
for all wreaths of empire It breathes in the air,

and sweetly distills in the dew
and the rain.

FIRST READING
The First reading is from the book of
Acts.
Stephen, filled with the Holy Spirit,
gazed into heaven and saw the glory of
God, and Jesus standing at God’s right
hand. ‘I can see heaven thrown open’ he
said ‘and the Son of Man standing at the
right hand of God.’ At this all the
members of the council shouted out and
stopped their ears with their hands; then
they all rushed at him, sent him out of
the city and stoned him. The witnesses
put down their clothes at the feet of a
young man called Saul. As they were
stoning him, Stephen said in invocation,
‘Lord Jesus, receive my spirit.’ Then he
knelt down and said aloud, ‘Lord, do not
hold this sin against them’; and with
these words he fell asleep.
This is the word of the Lord.
Acts 7
RESPONSORIAL PSALM
The Lord is king,
most high above all the earth.
The Lord is king, let earth rejoice,
the many coastlands be glad.
His throne is justice and right. R/
The skies proclaim his justice;
all peoples see his glory.
All you spirits, worship him. R/
For you indeed are the Lord
most high above all the earth,
exalted far above all spirits. R/
Psalm 97
SECOND READING
The Second Reading is from the book of
Revelations.
I, John, heard a voice speaking to me:
‘Very soon now, I shall be with you
again, bringing the reward to be given to
every man according to what he
deserves. I am the Alpha and the
Omega, the First and the Last, the
Beginning and the End. Happy are those
who will have washed their robes clean,
so that they will have the right to feed
on the tree of life and can come through
the gates into the city.’
  I, Jesus, have sent my angel to make
these revelations to you for the sake of
the churches. I am of David’s line, the
root of David and the bright star of the
morning.
  The Spirit and the Bride say, ‘Come.’
Let everyone who listens answer, ‘Come.’
Then let all who are thirsty come: all
who want it may have the water of life,
and have it free.
  The one who guarantees these
revelations repeats his promise: I shall
indeed be with you soon. Amen; come,
Lord Jesus.
This is the word of the Lord.
Rev. 22
GOSPEL
A reading from the Holy Gospel
according to St John.
‘I ask not only on behalf of these, but
also on behalf of those who will believe
in me through their word, that they may
all be one. As you, Father, are in me and
I am in you, may they also be in us, so
that the world may believe that you have
sent me. The glory that you have given
me I have given them, so that they may
be one, as we are one, I in them and you
in me, that they may become completely
one, so that the world may know that
you have sent me and have loved them
even as you have loved me. Father, I
desire that those also, whom you have
given me, may be with me where I am,
to see my glory, which you have given
me because you loved me before the
foundation of the world.
‘Righteous Father, the world does not
know you, but I know you; and these
know that you have sent me. I made
your name known to them, and I will
make it known, so that the love with
which you have loved me may be in
them, and I in them.’
This is the Gospel of the Lord.
John 17
