The Collect
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 thee, and worthily magnify thy holy Name; through Christ
our Lord. Amen.
The Summary of the Law
Hear what our Lord Jesus Christ saith.
THOU shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, and with all thy soul, and with all
thy mind. This is the first and great commandment. And the second is like unto it; Thou
shalt love thy neighbor as thyself. On these two commandments hang all the Law and
the Prophets.
Lord, have mercy upon us. Kyrie eleison
Christ, have mercy upon us. (Hymnal, 709)
Lord, have mercy upon us.
3O ALMIGHTY Lord, and everlasting God, vouchsafe, we beseech thee, to direct, sanctify,
and govern, both our hearts and bodies, in the ways of thy laws, and in the works of thy
commandments; that, through thy most mighty protection, both here and ever, we may
be preserved in body and soul; through our Lord and Saviour Jesus Christ. Amen.
The Lord be with you.
And with thy spirit.
Let us pray.
The Collect of the Day
Almighty and everlasting God, who, of thy tender love towards mankind, hast sent thy
Son, our Savior Jesus Christ, to take upon him our nature, and to suffer death upon the
Cross, giving us the example of his great humility: Mercifully grant that we may walk in
the way of his suffering, and also be made partakers in his resurrection; through the
same 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.
The People sit.
The Epistle: Ephesians 6:10-24
10Finally, be strong in the Lord and in the strength of his might. 11 Put on the whole
armor of God, that you may be able to stand against the wiles of the devil. 12 For we are
not contending against flesh and blood, but against the principalities, against the
powers, against the world rulers of this present darkness, against the spiritual hosts of
wickedness in the heavenly places. 13 Therefore take the whole armor of God, that you
may be able to withstand in the evil day, and having done all, to stand. 14 Stand
therefore, having girded your loins with truth, and having put on the breastplate of
righteousness, 15 and having shod your feet with the equipment of the gospel of
peace; 16 besides all these, taking the shield of faith, with which you can quench all the
flaming darts of the evil one. 17 And take the helmet of salvation, and the sword of the
Spirit, which is the word of God. 18 Pray at all times in the Spirit, with all prayer and
supplication. To that end keep alert with all perseverance, making supplication for all
the saints, 19 and also for me, that utterance may be given me in opening my mouth
boldly to proclaim the mystery of the gospel, 20 for which I am an ambassador in chains;
that I may declare it boldly, as I ought to speak. 21 Now that you also may know how I am
and what I am doing, Tychicus the beloved brother and faithful minister in the Lord will
tell you everything. 22 I have sent him to you for this very purpose, that you may know
how we are, and that he may encourage your hearts. 23 Peace be to the brethren, and
love with faith, from God the Father and the Lord Jesus Christ. 24 Grace be with all who
love our Lord Jesus Christ with love undying.

THE GRADUAL
Hymn 69 Drop, drop slow tears SONG 46
The Passion Gospel is announced.
The People respond: Glory be to thee, O Lord
All in the congregation, as the crowd read bolded verses.
The Passion: Mark 15:1-39
And as soon as it was morning the chief priests, with the elders and scribes, and the
whole council held a consultation; and they bound Jesus and led him away and
delivered him to Pilate.
2 And Pilate asked him,
Pilate: “Are you the King of the Jews?”
And he answered him,
Jesus: “You have said so.”
3 And the chief priests accused him of many things.
4 And Pilate again asked him,
Pilate: “Have you no answer to make? See how many charges they bring against you.”
5 But Jesus made no further answer, so that Pilate wondered.
6Now at the feast he used to release for them one prisoner for whom they asked. 7 And
among the rebels in prison, who had committed murder in the insurrection, there was a
man called Barabbas. 8 And the crowd came up and began to ask Pilate to do as he was
wont to do for them. 9 And he answered them,
Pilate: “Do you want me to release for you the King of the Jews?”
510 For he perceived that it was out of envy that the chief priests had delivered him
up. 11 But the chief priests stirred up the crowd to have him release for them Barabbas
instead. 12 And Pilate again said to them,
Pilate: “Then what shall I do with the man whom you call the King of the Jews?”
13 And they cried out again,
Crowd: “Crucify him.”
14 And Pilate said to them,
Pilate: “Why, what evil has he done?”
But they shouted all the more,
Crowd: “Crucify him.”
15So Pilate, wishing to satisfy the crowd, released for them Barabbas; and having
scourged Jesus, he delivered him to be crucified.
16And the soldiers led him away inside the palace (that is, the praetorium); and they
called together the whole battalion. 17 And they clothed him in a purple cloak, and
plaiting a crown of thorns they put it on him. 18 And they began to salute him,
Soldiers: “Hail, King of the Jews!”
19And they struck his head with a reed, and spat upon him, and they knelt down in
homage to him. 20 And when they had mocked him, they stripped him of the purple
cloak, and put his own clothes on him. And they led him out to crucify him. 21 And they
compelled a passer-by, Simon of Cyrene, who was coming in from the country, the
father of Alexander and Rufus, to carry his cross. 22 And they brought him to the place
called Golgotha (which means the place of a skull). 23 And they offered him wine
mingled with myrrh; but he did not take it. 24 And they crucified him, and divided his
garments among them, casting lots for them, to decide what each should take. 25 And it
was the third hour, when they crucified him. 26 And the inscription of the charge against
him read, “The King of the Jews.” 27 And with him they crucified two robbers, one on his
right and one on his left. 29 And those who passed by derided him, wagging their heads,
and saying,
6Crowd: “Aha! You who would destroy the temple and build it in three
days, 30 save yourself, and come down from the cross!”
31 So also the chief priests mocked him to one another with the scribes, saying,
Priests: “He saved others; he cannot save himself. 32 Let the Christ, the King of
Israel, come down now from the cross, that we may see and believe.”
Those who were crucified with him also reviled him.
33And when the sixth hour had come, there was darkness over the whole land until the
ninth hour. 34 And at the ninth hour Jesus cried with a loud voice,
The People kneel.
Jesus: “Elo-i, Elo-i, lama sabach-thani?” which means, “My God, my God, why
hast thou forsaken me?”
35 And some of the bystanders hearing it said,
Bystanders: “Behold, he is calling Elijah.”
36And one ran and, filling a sponge full of vinegar, put it on a reed and gave it to him to
drink, saying
Scoffer: “Wait, let us see whether Elijah will come to take him down.”
37And Jesus uttered a loud cry, and breathed his last. 38 And the curtain of the temple
was torn in two, from top to bottom. 39 And when the centurion, who stood facing him,
saw that he thus breathed his last, he said,
Centurion: “Truly this man was the Son of God!”
Silence is kept.
The people stand.
7The Nicene Creed
I BELIEVE in one God the Father Almighty, Maker of heaven and earth, And of all
things visible and invisible:
And in one Lord Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God; Begotten of his Father
before all worlds, God of God, Light of Light, Very God of very God; Begotten, not made;
Being of one substance with the Father; By whom all things were made: Who for us men
and for our salvation came down from heaven, And was incarnate by the Holy Ghost of
the Virgin Mary, And was made man: And was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate;
He suffered and was buried: And the third day he rose again according to the Scriptures:
And ascended into heaven, And sitteth on the right hand of the Father: And he shall
come again, with glory, to judge both the quick and the dead; Whose kingdom shall have
no end.
And I believe in the Holy Ghost, The Lord, and Giver of Life, Who proceedeth from
the Father and the Son; Who with the Father and the Son together is worshipped and
glorified; Who spake by the Prophets: And I believe one Catholic and Apostolic Church:
I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins: And I look for the Resurrection of
the dead: And the Life of the world to come. Amen.

Jesus, so lowly by Harold Friedell
Jesus, so lowly, Child of the earth:
Christen me wholly, bring me new birth.
Jesus, so lonely, weary and sad; teach me that only love maketh glad.
Jesus, so broken, silent and pale; be this the token love will not fail. Jesus,

The Prayers of the Church
Minister: Let us pray for the whole state of Christ’s Church.
The People kneel.
ALMIGHTY and everliving God, who by thy holy Apostle hast taught us to make
prayers, and supplications, and to give thanks for all men; We humbly beseech thee
most mercifully to accept our [alms and] oblations, and to receive these our prayers,
which we offer unto thy Divine Majesty; beseeching thee to inspire continually the
Universal Church with the spirit of truth, unity, and concord: And grant that all those
who do confess thy holy Name may agree in the truth of thy holy Word, and live in unity
and godly love.
We beseech thee also, so to direct and dispose the hearts of all Christian Rulers, that
they may truly and impartially administer justice, to the punishment of wickedness and
vice, and to the maintenance of thy true religion, and virtue.
Give grace, O heavenly Father, to all Bishops and other Ministers, that they may, both
by their life and doctrine, set forth thy true and lively Word, and rightly and duly
administer thy holy Sacraments.
9And to all thy People give thy heavenly grace; and especially to this congregation here
present; that, with meek heart and due reverence, they may hear, and receive thy holy
Word; truly serving thee in holiness and righteousness all the days of their life.
And we most humbly beseech thee, of thy goodness, O Lord, to comfort and succour
all those who, in this transitory life, are in trouble, sorrow, need, sickness, or any other
adversity.
And we also bless thy holy Name for all thy servants departed this life in thy faith and
fear; beseeching thee to grant them continual growth in thy love and service, and to give
us grace so to follow their good examples, that with them we may be partakers of thy
heavenly kingdom. Grant this, O Father, for Jesus Christ’s sake, our only Mediator and
Advocate. Amen.
YE who do truly and earnestly repent you of your sins, and are in love and charity with
your neighbours, and intend to lead a new life, following the commandments of God,
and walking from henceforth in his holy ways; Draw near with faith, and take this holy
Sacrament to your comfort; and make your humble confession to Almighty God,
devoutly kneeling.
General Confession
ALMIGHTY God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, Maker of all things, Judge
of all men; We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness,
Which we, from time to time, most grievously have committed, By thought,
word, and deed, Against thy Divine Majesty, Provoking most justly thy
wrath and indignation against us. We do earnestly repent, And are heartily
sorry for these our misdoings; The remembrance of them is grievous unto
us; The burden of them is intolerable. Have mercy upon us, Have mercy
upon us, most merciful Father; For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake,
Forgive us all that is past; And grant that we may ever hereafter Serve and
please thee In newness of life, To the honour and glory of thy Name;
Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
ALMIGHTY God, our heavenly Father, who of his great mercy hath promised
forgiveness of sins to all those who with hearty repentance and true faith turn unto him;
Have mercy upon you; pardon and deliver you from all your sins; confirm and
strengthen you in all goodness; and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ
our Lord. Amen.
10Hear what comfortable words our Saviour Christ saith unto all who truly turn to him.
COME unto me, all ye that travail and are heavy laden, and I will refresh you.
Matthew 11:28
So God loved the world, that he gave his only-begotten Son, to the end that all that
believe in him should not perish, but have everlasting life. John 3:16
Hear also what Saint Paul saith.
This is a true saying, and worthy of all men to be received, That Christ Jesus came into
the world to save sinners. 1 Timothy 1:15
Hear also what Saint John saith.
If any man sin, we have an Advocate with the Father, Jesus Christ the righteous; and
he is the Propitiation for our sins. 1 John 2:1-2
Lift up your hearts. Sursum corda
We lift them up unto the Lord.
Let us give thanks unto our Lord God.
It is meet and right so to do.
IT is very meet, right, and our bounden duty, that we should at all times, and in all
places, give thanks unto thee, O Lord, Holy Father, Almighty, Everlasting God.
THEREFORE with Angels and Archangels, and with all the company of heaven, we laud
and magnify thy glorious Name; evermore praising thee, and saying,
HOLY, HOLY, HOLY, Lord God of, hosts, Sanctus
Heaven and earth are full of thy glory: (Hymnal, 711)
Glory be to thee, O Lord Most High. Amen.
The Prayer of Consecration
ALL glory be to thee, Almighty God, our heavenly Father, for that thou, of thy tender mercy,
didst give thine only Son Jesus Christ to suffer death upon the Cross for our redemption;
who made there (by his one oblation of himself once offered) a full, perfect, and sufficient
sacrifice, oblation, and satisfaction, for the sins of 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, he brake 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 ye all of this;
for this is my Blood of the New Testament, 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.
11The Oblation
WHEREFORE O Lord and heavenly Father, according to the institution of thy dearly
beloved Son our Saviour Jesus Christ, we, thy humble servants, do celebrate and make
here before thy Divine Majesty, 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; rendering
unto thee most hearty thanks for the innumerable benefits procured unto us by the
same.
The Invocation
AND we most humbly beseech thee, O merciful Father, to hear us; and, of thy almighty
goodness, vouchsafe to bless and sanctify, with thy Word and Holy Spirit, these thy gifts
and creatures of bread and wine; that we, receiving them according to thy Son our
Saviour Jesus Christ’s holy institution, in remembrance of his death and passion, may
be partakers of his most blessed Body and Blood.
AND we earnestly desire thy fatherly goodness, mercifully to accept this our sacrifice of
praise and thanksgiving; most humbly beseeching thee to grant that, by the merits and
death of thy Son Jesus Christ, and through faith in his blood, we, and all thy whole
Church, may obtain remission of our sins, and all other benefits of his passion. And here
we offer and present unto thee, O Lord, our selves, our souls and bodies, to be a
reasonable, holy, and living sacrifice unto thee; humbly beseeching thee, that we, and all
others who shall be partakers of this Holy Communion, may worthily receive the most
precious Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, be filled with thy grace and heavenly
benediction, and made one body with him, that he may dwell in us, and we in him. And
although we are unworthy, through our manifold sins, to offer unto thee any sacrifice;
yet we beseech thee to accept this our bounden duty and service; not weighing our
merits, but pardoning our offences, through Jesus Christ our Lord; by whom, and with
whom, in the unity of the Holy Ghost, all honour and glory be unto thee, O Father
Almighty, world without end. Amen.
And now, as our Saviour Christ hath 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.
12WE do not presume to come to this thy Table, O merciful Lord, trusting in
our own righteousness, but in thy manifold and great mercies. We are not
worthy so much as to gather up the crumbs under thy Table. But thou art
the same Lord, whose property is always to have mercy: Grant us therefore,
gracious Lord, so to eat the flesh of thy dear Son Jesus Christ, and to drink
his blood, that our sinful bodies may be made clean by his Body, and our
souls washed through his most precious Blood, and that we may evermore
dwell in him, and he in us. Amen.
O Lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world, Agnus, Dei
have mercy upon us. (Hymnal, 712)
O Lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world,
have mercy upon us.
O Lamb of God, that takes away the sins of the world,
Grant us thy peace.

The People kneel.
Let us pray:
ALMIGHTY and everliving God, we most heartily thank thee, for that thou dost vouchsafe
to feed us who have duly received these holy mysteries with the spiritual food of the most
precious Body and Blood of thy Son our Saviour Jesus Christ; and dost assure us thereby
of thy favour and goodness towards us; and that we are very members incorporate in the
mystical body of thy Son, which is the blessed company of all faithful people; and are also
heirs through hope of thy everlasting kingdom, by the merits of his most precious death
and passion. And we humbly beseech thee, O heavenly Father, so to assist us with thy
grace, that we may continue in that holy fellowship, and do all such good works as thou
hast prepared for us to walk in; through Jesus Christ our Lord, to whom, with thee and the
Holy Ghost, be all honour and glory, world without end. Amen.
13To be said in place of the Gloria in Excelsis as we enter Holy Week; People stand.
The Song of Isaiah: Surge, illuminare
Arise, shine; for thy light is come, and the glory of the LORD is risen upon
thee. For, behold, the darkness shall cover the earth, and gross darkness
the people: but the LORD shall arise upon thee, and his glory shall be seen
upon thee. And the Gentiles shall come to thy light, and kings to the
brightness of thy rising.
Therefore thy gates shall be open continually; they shall not be shut day nor
night; and they shall call thee, The city of the LORD, The Zion of the Holy
One of Israel.
Violence shall no more be heard in thy land, wasting nor destruction within
thy borders; but thou shalt call thy walls Salvation, and thy gates Praise.
The sun shall be no more thy light by day; neither for brightness shall the
moon give light unto thee: but the LORD shall be unto thee an everlasting
light, and thy God thy glory.
The People kneel.
The Blessing
THE Peace of God, which passeth all understanding, keep your hearts and minds in the
knowledge and love of God, and of his Son Jesus Christ our Lord: And the Blessing of God
Almighty, the Father, the Son, and the Holy Ghost, be amongst you, and remain with you
always. Amen.
