Act of Penitence

This act of penitence may appropriately be used at the Sunday Service in Eastertide.

The president prays over a vessel of water

God our Father,

your gift of water brings life and freshness to the earth;

in baptism it is a sign of the washing away of our sins

and the gift of life eternal.

Sanctify this water, we pray.

Renew the living spring of your life within us,

that we may be free from sin and filled with your saving health;

through Christ our Lord.

Amen.

The president and people are sprinkled.

The president concludes with this absolution

May the God of love and power

forgive us and free us from our sins,

heal and strengthen us by his Spirit,

and raise us to new life in Christ our Lord.

Amen.

The Collect

God our redeemer,

you have delivered us from the power of darkness

and brought us into the kingdom of your Son:

grant, that as by his death he has recalled us to life,

so by his continual presence in us he may raise us

to eternal joy;

through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord,

who is alive and reigns with you,

in the unity of the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.

Amen.

Hymn

1. Peace is flowing like a river,

flowing out through you and me,

spreading out into the desert,

setting all the captives free.

Let it flow through me,

let it flow through me,

let the mighty peace of God

flow out through me,

let it flow through me,

let it flow through me,

let the mighty peace of God

flow out through me,

2. Love is flowing like a river,

flowing out through you and me,

spreading out into the desert,

setting all the captives free.

3. Joy is flowing like a river,

flowing out through you and me,

spreading out into the desert,

setting all the captives free.

4. Hope is flowing like a river,

flowing out through you and me,

spreading out into the desert,

setting all the captives free.

5. Christ brings peace to all creation,

flowing out through you and me,

love, joy, hope and true salvation,

setting all the captives free.

verse 5 © 1999 Kevin Mayhew Ltd

(Anglican Hymns Old & New – 613)

First Reading – Revelation 21.10,22–22.5

In the spirit the angel carried me away to a great, high mountain and showed me the

holy city Jerusalem coming down out of heaven from God. I saw no temple in the

city, for its temple is the Lord God the Almighty and the Lamb. And the city has no

need of sun or moon to shine on it, for the glory of God is its light, and its lamp is

the Lamb. The nations will walk by its light, and the kings of the earth will bring their

glory into it. Its gates will never be shut by day – and there will be no night there.

People will bring into it the glory and the honour of the nations. But nothing unclean

will enter it, nor anyone who practises abomination or falsehood, but only those

who are written in the Lamb’s book of life. Then the angel showed me the river of

6

the water of life, bright as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the Lamb

through the middle of the street of the city. On either side of the river is the tree of

life with its twelve kinds of fruit, producing its fruit each month; and the leaves of the

tree are for the healing of the nations. Nothing accursed will be found there any

more. But the throne of God and of the Lamb will be in it, and his servants will

worship him; they will see his face, and his name will be on their foreheads. And

there will be no more night; they need no light of lamp or sun, for the Lord God will

be their light, and they will reign for ever and ever.

Second Reading – John 5.1-9

After this there was a festival of the Jews, and Jesus went up to Jerusalem. Now in

Jerusalem by the Sheep Gate there is a pool, called in Hebrew Beth-zatha, which has

five porticoes. In these lay many invalids - blind, lame, and paralysed. One man was

there who had been ill for thirty-eight years. When Jesus saw him lying there and

knew that he had been there a long time, he said to him, ‘Do you want to be made

well?’ The sick man answered him, ‘Sir, I have no one to put me into the pool when

the water is stirred up; and while I am making my way, someone else steps down

ahead of me.’ Jesus said to him, ‘Stand up, take your mat and walk.’ At once the man

was made well, and he took up his mat and began to walk. Now that day was a

sabbath.

Sermon

Hymn

1. Have faith in God, my heart,

trust and be unafraid;

God will fulfil in every part

each promise he has made.

2. Have faith in God, my mind,

though oft thy light burns low;

God's mercy holds a wiser plan

than thou canst fully know.

3. Have faith in God, my soul,

his cross for ever stands;

and neither life nor death can pluck

his children from his hands.

4. Lord Jesus, make me whole;

grant me no resting place,

until I rest, heart, mind, and soul,

the captive of thy grace.

Blessing

God our Father,

whose Son Jesus Christ gives the water of eternal life:

may we thirst for you,

the spring of life and source of goodness,

through him who is alive and reigns, now and for ever.

God the Father,

by whose love Christ was raised from the dead,

open to us who believe the gates of everlasting life.

Amen.

God the Son,

who in bursting from the grave has won a glorious victory,

give us joy as we share the Easter faith.

Amen.

God the Holy Spirit,

who filled the disciples with the life of the risen Lord,

empower us and fill us with Christ’s peace.

Amen.

And the blessing of God almighty,

the Father, the Son, and the Holy Spirit,

be among us and remain with us always.

Go in peace to love and serve the Lord.

In the name of Christ. Amen.
