THE COLLECT.
G RANT, we beseech thee, Almighty God: that like

as we do believe thy only-begotten Son our Lord
Jesus Christ to have ascended into the heavens; so we
may also in heart and mind thither ascend, and with
him continually dwell; who liveth and reigneth with
thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, ever one God,
world without end. Amen.
THE LESSON. Acts 1. 1.
T HE former treatise have I made, O Theophilus, of

all that Jesus began both to do and teach, until the
day in which he was taken up, after that he through
the Holy Spirit had given commandments unto the
Apostles whom he had chosen: to whom also he
showed himself alive after his passion by many proofs,
appearing unto them during forty days, and speaking
of the things pertaining to the kingdom of God: and,
being assembled together with them, commanded
them that they should not depart from Jerusalem, but
wait for the promise of the Father, which, saith he, ye
have heard of me. For John truly baptized with water,
but ye shall be baptized with the Holy Spirit not many
days hence.
When they therefore were come together, they
asked of him, saying, Lord, wilt thou at this time
restore again the kingdom to Israel? And he said unto
them, It is not for you to know the times or the
seasons, which the Father hath put in his own power.
But ye shall receive power after that the Holy Spirit is
come upon you; and ye shall be witnesses unto me,
both in Jerusalem, and in all Judæa, and in Samaria,
and unto the uttermost part of the earth. And when
P546
he had spoken these things, while they beheld, he was
taken up, and a cloud received him out of their sight.
And while they looked stedfastly toward heaven, as he
went up, behold, two men stood by them in white
apparel; which also said, Ye men of Galilee, why stand
ye gazing up into heaven? This same Jesus, which is
taken up from you into heaven, shall so come, in like
manner as ye have seen him go into heaven.

EG 689 (Alt). Ps. 47.

trumpet. Alleluia. V. Ps. 68. The Lord is among them as
in the holy places of Sinai, he is gone up on high: he

burden, / even the God who is our salvation. Alleluia.
20 He is our God, even the God of whom cometh
deliverance; / and God is the L O R D by whom we
escape death. Alleluia.
THE GOSPEL. St Mark 16. 14.
JESUS appeared unto the eleven as they sat at meat,

and upbraided them with their unbelief and
hardness of heart, because they believed not them
which had seen him after he was risen. And he said
unto them, Go ye into all the world, and preach the
Gospel to every creature. He that believeth and is
baptized shall be saved; but he that believeth not shall
P547
be condemned. And these signs shall follow them that
believe: In my name shall they cast out evil spirits; they
shall speak with new tongues; they shall take up
serpents; and if they drink any deadly thing, it shall
not hurt them; they shall lay hands on the sick, and
they shall recover.
So then after the Lord had spoken unto them, he
was received up into heaven, and sat on the right hand
of God. And they went forth and preached
everywhere, the Lord working with them, and
confirming the word with signs following.
After the Gospel, the Paschal Candle, figure of the risen Christ, is

B RETHREN: THE end of all things is at hand; be ye

of God. If any man speak, let him speak as the oracles

killeth you will think that he doeth God service. And

THE VIGIL OF PENTECOST

(WHITSUN EVE)
IF THE FONT IS TO BE BLESSED.
The Office having been said, the Priest and Ministers, vested in
violet, go up to the Altar, and after the reverence, the Priest kisses
it in the centre, and they go to the sedilia. Then are read the same
Prophecies (without title) as at the Easter Vigil, the candles of the
altar being unlighted up to the beginning of the Mass. At the end of
the Prophecies are said the Collects without Let us bow the knee.
After the last Collect the Celebrant and Ministers descend to the
Font during the Tract. Ps. 42. Like as the hart. Before he enters the
Baptistry to bless the Font he says these prayers.
Priest: The Lord be with you.

People: And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
G RANT, we beseech thee, Almighty God: that we

who celebrate the feast of the gift of the Holy
Spirit; being inflamed with heavenly desires may ever
thirst for the fountain of life, Jesus Christ thy Son our
Lord; who liveth and reigneth with thee, in the unity

Let us pray.
A LMIGHTY and everlasting God, who hast willed

thy Paschal Sacraments to be comprehended in the
mystery of fifty days: grant, we beseech thee; that the

people which were scattered abroad by the confusion
of tongues may, by thy heavenly gift, be gathered
together again into one confession of thy Name;
through Jesus Christ thy Son our Lord, who liveth and
reigneth with thee, in the unity of the Holy Ghost,
ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Then he proceeds to bless the Font as on Holy Saturday.
But where the Font is not blessed, when the last Prophecy and
Collect are ended the Celebrant lays aside his chasuble and with the
Ministers lie prostrate before the Altar: and all kneeling the Litany
of the Saints is chanted. But when has been said the final repetition
of R. Good Lord deliver us, the Priest and Ministers arise, and go to
the Sacristy to array themselves in red vestments for the Solemn
Mass; and meanwhile the Altar candles are lighted. At the end of
the Litany, Kyrie eleison is solemnly intoned, and repeated as
usual. This having been begun the Priest and the Ministers proceed
to the Altar, and make the Confession: then going up, the Priest
kisses the Altar, and censes it in the accustomed manner. The Kyrie
eleison being finished, Gloria in excelsis is solemnly begun and the
bells are rung.

THE LESSON. Acts 19. 1.∗
I T came to pass, that, while Apollos was at Corinth,

Paul having passed through the upper coasts came to
Ephesus: and finding certain disciples, he said unto
them, Did ye receive the Holy Ghost when ye
believed? And they said unto him, We have not so
much as heard whether there be any Holy Ghost. And
he said unto them, Unto what then were ye baptized?
And they said, Unto John’s baptism. Then said Paul,
John verily baptized with the baptism of repentance,
saying unto the people, that they should believe on
him which should come after him, that is, on Christ
Jesus. When they heard this, they were baptized in
the name of the Lord Jesus. And when Paul had laid
his hands upon them, the Holy Ghost came on them;
and they spake with tongues, and prophesied. And all
the men were about twelve. And he went into the
synagogue, and spake boldly for the space of three
months, reasoning and persuading as to the things
concerning the kingdom of God.

JESUS said unto his disciples, If ye love me, ye will

keep my commandments. And I will pray the Father,
and he shall give you another Comforter, that he may
abide with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth; whom
the world cannot receive, because it seeth him not,
neither knoweth him: but ye know him; for he
dwelleth with you, and shall be in you. I will not
leave you orphans: I will come to you. Yet a little
while, and the world seeth me no more; but ye see me:
because I live, ye shall live also. At that day ye shall
know that I am in my Father, and ye in me, and I in
you. He that hath my commandments, and keepeth

celebrate before thee the Feast of Pentecost; may
continue thine for ever; and daily increase in thy Holy
Spirit, until we come to thine eternal kingdom;
Spirit, ever one God, world without end. Amen.
W HEN the day of Pentecost was fully come, the

Disciples were all with one accord in one place.
And suddenly there came a sound from heaven, as of a
rushing mighty wind, and it filled all the house where
they were sitting. And there appeared unto them
cloven tongues, like as of fire, and it rested upon each
of them: and they were all filled with the Holy Spirit,
and began to speak with other tongues, as the Spirit
gave them utterance.
And there were dwelling at Jerusalem Jews, devout
men, out of every nation under heaven. Now when
this sound was heard, the multitude came together,
and were bewildered, because that every man heard
them speak in his own language. And they were all
amazed, and marvelled, saying one to another, Behold,
are not all these which speak Galilaeans? And how
hear we every man in our own tongue wherein we
were born? Parthians, and Medes, and Elamites, and
the dwellers in Mesopotamia, and in Judæa, and
Cappadocia, in Pontus, and Asia, Phrygia, and
Pamphylia, in Egypt, and in the parts of Libya about
Cyrene, and strangers from Rome, both Jews and
proselytes, Cretes and Arabians, we do hear them
speak in our tongues the wonderful works of God.

JESUS said unto his disciples, If ye love me, keep my

commandments. And I will pray the Father, and he
shall give you another Comforter, that he may abide
with you for ever; even the Spirit of truth, whom the
world cannot receive, because it seeth him not, neither
knoweth him: but ye know him; for he dwelleth with
you, and shall be in you.
I will not leave you comfortless; I will come to you.
Yet a little while, and the world seeth me no more; but
ye see me: because I live, ye shall live also. At that day
ye shall know that I am in my Father, and ye in me,
and I in you. He that hath my commandments, and
keepeth them, he it is that loveth me; and he that
loveth me shall be loved of my Father, and I will love
him, and will manifest myself to him. Judas saith unto
him, (not Iscariot,) Lord, how is it that thou wilt
manifest thyself unto us, and not unto the world?
Jesus answered and said unto him, If a man love me,
he will keep my words, and my Father will love him,
and we will come unto him, and make our abode with
him. He that loveth me not keepeth not my sayings:
and the word which ye hear is not mine, but the
Father's which sent me.
These things have I spoken unto you, being yet
present with you. But the Comforter, which is the
Holy Spirit, whom the Father will send in my name, he
shall teach you all things, and bring all things to your
remembrance, whatsoever I have said unto you. Peace

I N THOSE DAYS: Peter opened his mouth, and

said, Of a truth I perceive that God is no respecter of
persons; but in every nation he that feareth him, and
worketh righteousness, is accepted with him. The
word which God sent unto the children of Israel,
preaching good tidings of peace by Jesus Christ (he is
Lord of all); that word, I say, ye know, which was
published throughout all Judæa, beginning from
Galilee, after the baptism which John preached: how
God anointed Jesus of Nazareth with the Holy Spirit
and with power; who went about doing good, and
healing all that were oppressed by the devil: for God
was with him. And we are witnesses of all things
which he did, both in the land of the Jews, and in
Jerusalem; Whom they slew, and hanged on a tree: him
God raised up the third day, and showed him openly;
not to all the people, but unto witnesses chosen before
of God, even to us, who did eat and drink with him
P565
after he rose from the dead. And he commanded us to
preach unto the people, and to bear witness that it is
he who was ordained of God to be the Judge of quick
and dead. To him give all the prophets witness, that
through his name whosoever believeth in him shall
receive forgiveness of sins.
While Peter yet spake these words, the Holy Spirit
fell on all them which heard the word. And they of
the circumcision which believed were astonished, as
many as came with Peter, because that on the Gentiles
also was poured out the gift of the Holy Spirit. For
they heard them speak with tongues, and magnify
God. Then answered Peter, Can any man forbid water,
that these should not be baptized, which have received
the Holy Spirit as well as we? And he commanded
them to be baptized in the name of the Lord. Then
prayed they him to tarry certain days.

G OD so loved the world, that he gave his only-

should not perish, but have everlasting life. For God
sent not his Son into the world to judge the world, but
that the world through him might be saved. He that
believeth on him is not judged: but he that believeth
not is judged already; because he hath not believed in
the name of the only-begotten Son of God. And this is
the judgement, that light is come into the world, and
men loved darkness rather than light, because their
deeds were evil. For every one that doeth evil hateth

JESUS said unto his disciples, Verily, verily I say unto

thief and a robber. But he that entereth in by the door
is the shepherd of the sheep: to him the porter
openeth; and the sheep hear his voice, and he calleth
his own sheep by name, and leadeth them out. And,
when he putteth forth his own sheep, he goeth before
them, and the sheep follow him; for they know his
voice. And a stranger will they not follow; but will flee
from him; for they know not the voice of strangers.
This parable spake Jesus unto them: but they
understood not what things they were which he spake
unto them.
Then said Jesus unto them again; Verily, verily I say
unto you, I am the door of the sheep. All that ever
came before me are thieves and robbers; but the sheep
did not hear them. I am the door; by me if any man
enter in, he shall be saved, and shall go in and out,

A T that time: It came to pass on a certain day, that

he was teaching; and there were Pharisees and
doctors of the law sitting by, which were come out of
every town of Galilee, and Judaea, and Jerusalem: and
the power of the Lord was with him to heal. And,
behold, men brought on a bed a man which was taken
with palsy: and they sought means to bring him in,
and to lay him before him. And when they could not
find by what way they might bring him in because of
the multitude, they went upon the housetop, and let
him down through the tiling with his couch into the
midst before Jesus. And when he saw their faith, he
said unto him, Man, thy sins are forgiven thee. And
the scribes and the Pharisees began to reason, saying,
P587
Who is this which speaketh blasphemies? Who can
forgive sins, but God alone? But when Jesus perceived
their thoughts, he answering said unto them, What
reason ye in your hearts? Whether is easier, to say, Thy
sins be forgiven thee; or to say, Rise up and walk? But
that ye may know that the Son of man hath power
upon earth to forgive sins, (he said unto the sick of the

THE LESSON. Acts 13. 44-52.
T HE next sabbath day came almost the whole city

together to hear the word of God. But when the
Jews saw the multitudes, they were filled with envy,
and spake against those things which were spoken by
Paul, contradicting and blaspheming. Then Paul and
Barnabas waxed bold, and said, It was necessary that
the word of God should first have been spoken to you:
but seeing ye put it from you, and judge yourselves
unworthy of eternal life, lo, we turn to the Gentiles.
For so hath the Lord commanded us, saying, I have set
thee to be a light of the Gentiles, that thou shouldest
be for salvation unto the ends of the earth. And when
the Gentiles heard this, they were glad, and glorified
P590
the word of God: and as many as were ordained to
eternal life believed. And the word of the Lord was
spread abroad throughout all the region. But the Jews
stirred up the devout and honourable women and the
chief men of the city, and raised persecution against
Paul and Barnabas, and cast them out of their borders.
But they shook off the dust of their feet against them,
and came unto Iconium. And the disciples were filled
with joy and with the Holy Ghost.

A T that time: Jesus arose out of the synagogue, and

entered into Simon’s house. And Simon’s wife’s
mother was taken with a great fever; and they
besought him for her. And he stood over her, and
rebuked the fever; and it left her: and immediately she
arose and ministered unto them.
Now when the sun was setting, all they that had
any sick with divers diseases brought them unto him;
and he laid his hands on every one of them, and
healed them. And the devils also came out of many,
crying out, and saying, Thou art the Son of God. And
he rebuking them suffered them not to speak: for they
knew he was the Christ.
And when it was day, he departed and went into a
desert place: and the people sought him, and came
unto him, and would have kept him, that he should
not go from them. And he said unto them, I must
preach the kingdom of God to other cities also: for

THE LESSON. Revelation 4. 1.
I N THOSE DAYS: I [John] saw, and behold, a door

was opened in heaven: and the first voice which I
heard was as it were of a trumpet talking with me;
which said, Come up hither, and I will show thee
things which must be hereafter. And immediately I
was in the Spirit; and behold, a throne was set in
heaven, and one sat on the throne: and he that sat was
to look upon like a jasper and a sardius stone: and a
rainbow round about the throne, in sight like unto an
emerald. And round about the throne four and twenty
seats; and upon the seats I saw four and twenty elders
sitting, clothed in white raiment; and on their heads
crowns of gold: and out of the throne proceed
lightnings and thunderings and voices. And seven
lamps of fire burning before the throne, which are the
seven spirits of God; and before the throne as it were a
sea of glass, like unto crystal; and in the midst of the
throne, and round about the throne, four living
creatures, full of eyes before and behind; the first one
like a lion, and the second like a calf, and the third
having a face like a man, and the fourth like a flying
eagle; and every one of them had six wings; around
and within they are full of eyes; and they rest not day
or night, saying,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God the Almighty,
Which was, and which is, and which is to come.
And when those living beings give glory and honour
and thanks to him that sitteth upon the throne, who
liveth for ever and ever, the four and twenty elders fall
down before him that sitteth upon the throne, and
worship him that liveth for ever and ever, and cast
their crowns before the throne, saying,

To receive glory and honour and power;
For thou hast created all things,
And for thy pleasure they are, and were created.

T HERE was a man of the Pharisees, named

Nicodemus, a ruler of the Jews: the same came to
Jesus by night, and said unto him, Rabbi, we know
that thou art a teacher come from God: for no man can
do these signs that thou doest, except God be with
him. Jesus answered and said unto him, Verily, verily
I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot
see the kingdom of God. Nicodemus saith unto him,
How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter
the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily I say unto thee, Except a
man be born of water and of the Spirit, he cannot enter
into the kingdom of God. That which is born of the
flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is
spirit. Marvel not that I said unto thee, Ye must be
born again. The wind bloweth where it listeth, and
thou hearest the sound thereof, but canst not tell
whence it cometh, and whither it goeth; so is every one
P596
that is born of the Spirit. Nicodemus answered and
said unto him, How can these things be? Jesus
answered and said unto him, Art thou a master of
Israel, and knowest not these things? Verily, verily I
say unto thee, We speak that we do know, and testify
that we have seen; and ye receive not our witness. If I
have told you earthly things, and ye believe not; how
shall ye believe, if I tell you of heavenly things? And
no man hath ascended up to heaven, but he that came
down from heaven, even the Son of man, who is in
heaven. And as Moses lifted up the serpent in the
wilderness, even so must the Son of man be lifted up:
that whosoever believeth in him should not perish, but
have eternal life.

THE EPISTLE. 1 Corinthians 11. 23.
B RETHREN, I have received of the Lord that which

also I delivered unto you, That the Lord Jesus, the
same night in which he was betrayed, took bread; and
when he had given thanks, he brake it, and said, Take,
eat; this is my body, which is broken for you: this do
in remembrance of me. After the same manner also he
took the cup, when he had supped, saying, This cup is
the new covenant in my blood: this do ye, as oft as ye
drink it, in remembrance of me. For as often as ye eat
this bread, and drink this cup, ye do show the Lord's
death till he come.
P599
Wherefore, whosoever shall eat this bread, and
drink this cup of the Lord, unworthily, shall be guilty
of the body and blood of the Lord. But let a man
examine himself, and so let him eat of that bread, and
drink of that cup. For he that eateth and drinketh
unworthily eateth and drinketh condemnation to
himself, not discerning the Lord's body.

Lauda Sion Salvatorem.
L AUD, O Sion, thy salvation, Laud with hymns of

exultation Christ, thy King and Shepherd true:
Spend thyself, his honour raising, Who surpasseth all
thy praising; Never canst thou reach his due.
Sing today the mystery showing Of the living, life
bestowing Bread from heaven before thee set;
P600
E'en the same of old provided, When the Twelve,
divinely guided, At the holy Table met.
Full and clear ring out thy chanting, Joy nor sweetest
grace be wanting To thy heart and soul today.
When we gather up the measure Of that Supper and
its treasure, Keeping feast in glad array.
Lo, the new King's Table gracing, This new Passover of
blessing Hath fulfill'd the elder rite;
Now the new the old effaceth, Truth reveal'd the
shadow chaseth, Day is breaking on the night.
What he did at Supper seated, Christ ordain'd to be
repeated, His memorial ne'er to cease:
And, his word for guidance taking, Bread and wine we
hallow, making Thus our Sacrifice of peace.
This the truth to Christians given, Bread becomes his
Flesh from heaven, Wine becomes his holy Blood.
Doth it pass thy comprehending? Yet by faith, thy
sight transcending, Wondrous things are
understood.
Yea, beneath these signs are hidden Glorious things to
sight forbidden; Look not on the outward sign.
Wine is pour'd and Bread is broken, But in either
sacred token Christ is here by power divine.
Whoso of this Food partaketh, Rendeth not the Lord
nor breaketh: Christ is whole to all that taste.
Thousands are, as one, receivers; One, as thousands of
believers, Takes the Food that cannot waste.
Good and evil men are sharing One repast, a doom
preparing Varied as the heart of man;
Doom of life or death awarded, As their days shall be
recorded Which from one beginning ran.
When the Sacrament is broken, Doubt not in each
sever'd token, Hallow'd by the word once spoken,
Resteth all the true content.
Nought the precious Gift divideth, Breaking but the
sign betideth, He himself the same abideth, Nothing
of his fullness spent.
P601
Lo! the Angels' Food is given To the pilgrim who hath
striven; See the children's Bread from heaven, Which
to dogs may not be cast;
Truth the ancient types fulfilling, Isaac bound, a victim
willing, Paschal lamb, its life-blood spilling, Manna
sent in ages past.
Very Bread, good Shepherd, tend us, Jesu, of thy love
befriend us, Thou refresh us, thou defend us, Thine
eternal goodness send us In the Land of life to see;
Thou who all things canst and knowest, Who on earth
such food bestowest, Grant us with thy Saints,
though lowest, Where the heav'nly Feast thou
showest, Fellow-heirs and guests to be.
Amen, Alleluia.
JESUS said, Labour not for the meat which perisheth,

but for that meat which endureth unto everlasting
life, which the Son of Man shall give unto you: for him
hath God the Father sealed. Then said they unto him,
What shall we do, that we might work the works of
God? Jesus answered and said unto them, This is the
work of God, that ye believe on him whom he hath
sent. They said therefore unto him, What sign showest
thou then, that we may see, and believe thee? what
dost thou work? Our fathers did eat manna in the
desert; as it is written, He gave them bread from
heaven to eat. Then Jesus said unto them, Verily,
verily I say unto you, Moses gave you not that bread
from heaven; but my Father giveth you the true bread
from heaven. For the bread of God is he which cometh
down from heaven, and giveth life unto the world.
Then said they unto him, Lord, evermore give us this
bread. And Jesus said unto them, I am the bread of
life: he that cometh to me shall never hunger; and he
that believeth on me shall never thirst.
Creed is said.

offerings of the Lord, made by fire and the bread of
their God: therefore they shall be holy unto their God,

ever one God, world without end. Amen.
Preface of Maundy Thursday and Corpus Christi.

drink this Cup: ye do show the Lord's death till he
come. Wherefore, whosoever shall eat of this Bread,

guilty of the Body and Blood of the Lord, alleluia.
