All Hallows Evening Prayer for Saturday Evening (July 25, 2020)


I just posted All Hallows Evening Prayer for Saturday Evening (July 25, 2020).

The order of service is adapted from the Anglican Church of Canada’s The Book of Alternative Services (1985).

The Phos hilaron is David von Kampen’s a cappella choral arrangement of the Lutheran Book of Worship’s translation of the ancient lamp-lighting hymn, “Joyous Light of Glory.”

The penitential evening Psalm is Tony Alonso’s responsorial setting of Psalm 141, “Like Burning Incense, O Lord.”

The psalm prayer is taken from the Lutheran Book of Worship Ministers Desk Edition.

The variable psalm is “O God You Have Searched Me, and You Know Me,” written by Bernadette Farrell. The hymn tune RADIANT was also composed by Ms. Farrel. The hymn is a paraphrase of Psalm 139 and appears in two Anglican hymnals, Ancient and Modern: Hymns and Songs for Refreshing Worship and Anglican Hymns Old and New (Revised and Enlarged).

The psalm prayer is taken from the Church of England’s Common Worship (2000) .

The reading is Matthew 18: 21-35.

The homily is titled “Do to Others as You Would Have God Do to You.” It examines Jesus’ teaching about forgiveness and the implications for ourselves.

The gospel canticle is Anne Carter’s paraphrase of the Magnificat, “My Soul Proclaims the Lord My God,” sung to the American folk hymn tune NEW BRITAIN. It may also be sung to ST. PETER (Reinagle) and ST. COLUMBA.

The intercessions are taken from Praise God in Song: Ecumenical Daily Prayer (1979).

The dismissal hymn is Nancy M. Raabe’s arrangement of Rosamond Herklott’s hymn, “Forgive Our Sins as We Forgive” for SAB voices and piano. This version of Ms. Herklott’s hymn comes from Evangelical Lutheran Worship (2006).

Please feel free to share the link with anyone who may be interested.

I hope that this service will be a blessing to you and will serve as a fitting beginning to your observance of the Lord's Day.
