A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 6: 1–13
read by Rueben Russouw
In the year that King Uzziah died, I saw the Lord sitting on a
throne, high and lofty; and the hem of his robe filled the temple.
Seraphs were in attendance above him; each had six wings: with
two they covered their faces, and with two they covered their
feet, and with two they flew. And one called to another and said:

3. “Holy, holy, holy is the Lord of hosts; the whole earth is full of
his glory.” The pivots on the thresholds shook at the voices of
those who called, and the house filled with smoke. And I said:
“Woe is me! I am lost, for I am a man of unclean lips, and I live
among a people of unclean lips; yet my eyes have seen the
King, the Lord of hosts!” Then one of the seraphs flew to me,
holding a live coal that had been taken from the altar with a pair
of tongs. The seraph touched my mouth with it and said: “Now
that this has touched your lips, your guilt has departed and your
sin is blotted out.” Then I heard the voice of the Lord saying,
“Whom shall I send, and who will go for us?” And I said, “Here
am I; send me!” And he said, “Go and say to this people: ‘Keep
listening, but do not comprehend; keep looking, but do not
understand.’ Make the mind of this people dull, and stop their
ears, and shut their eyes, so that they may not look with their
eyes, and listen with their ears, and comprehend with their
minds, and turn and be healed.”
Then I said, “How long, O Lord?” And he said: “Until cities lie
waste without inhabitant, and houses without people, and the
land is utterly desolate; until the Lord sends everyone far away,
and vast is the emptiness in the midst of the land. Even if a
tenth part remain in it, it will be burned again, like a terebinth or
an oak whose stump remains standing when it is felled.” The
holy seed is its stump.
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
PSALM 138 (Tone II.1)
I will give thanks to you O LORD with my whole heart; *
before the gods I will sing your praise.
2 I will bow down toward your holy temple
and praise your Name, *
because of your love and faith-ful-ness.

4. 3 For you have glorified your Name *
and your word a-bove all things.
4 When I called you an-swer’d me; *
you increased my strength with-in me.
5 All the kings of the earth will praise you O LORD, *
when they have heard the words of your mouth.
6 They will sing of the ways of the LORD, *
that great is the glory of the LORD.
7 Though the LORD be high he cares for the low-ly; *
he perceives the haughty from a-far.
8 Though I walk in the midst of trouble you keep me safe; *
you stretch forth your hand against the fury of my
enemies /
your right hand shall save me.
9 The LORD will make good his purpose for me; *
O LORD your love endures for ever /
do not abandon the works of your hands.
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
world without end A-men.
A READING FROM THE FIRST LETTER OF PAUL TO THE
CORINTHIANS 15: 1–11 read by Jenny Reid
Now I would remind you, brothers and sisters, of the good news
that I proclaimed to you, which you in turn received, in which
also you stand, through which also you are being saved, if you
hold firmly to the message that I proclaimed to you—unless you

5. have come to believe in vain. For I handed on to you as of first
importance what I in turn had received: that Christ died for our
sins in accordance with the scriptures, and that he was buried,
and that he was raised on the third day in accordance with the
scriptures, and that he appeared to Cephas, then to the twelve.
Then he appeared to more than five hundred brothers and sisters
at one time, most of whom are still alive, though some have
died. Then he appeared to James, then to all the apostles. Last of
all, as to one untimely born, he appeared also to me. For I am
the least of the apostles, unfit to be called an apostle, because I
persecuted the church of God. But by the grace of God I am
what I am, and his grace toward me has not been in vain. On the
contrary, I worked harder than any of them—though it was not
I, but the grace of God that is with me. Whether then it was I or
they, so we proclaim and so you have come to believe.
The word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Gospeller: The Lord be with you.
All: And also with you.
Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ
according to Luke 5: 1–11.
All: Glory to you, Lord Jesus Christ.
Once while Jesus was standing beside the lake of Gennesaret,
and the crowd was pressing in on him to hear the word of God,
he saw two boats there at the shore of the lake; the fishermen
had gone out of them and were washing their nets. He got into

6. one of the boats, the one belonging to Simon, and asked him to
put out a little way from the shore. Then he sat down and taught
the crowds from the boat. When he had finished speaking, he
said to Simon, “Put out into the deep water and let down your
nets for a catch.” Simon answered, “Master, we have worked all
night long but have caught nothing. Yet if you say so, I will let
down the nets.” When they had done this, they caught so many
fish that their nets were beginning to break. So they signalled
their partners in the other boat to come and help them. And they
came and filled both boats, so that they began to sink. But when
Simon Peter saw it, he fell down at Jesus’ knees, saying, “Go
away from me, Lord, for I am a sinful man!” For he and all who
were with him were amazed at the catch of fish that they had
taken; and so also were James and John, sons of Zebedee, who
were partners with Simon. Then Jesus said to Simon, “Do not
be afraid; from now on you will be catching people.” When
they had brought their boats to shore, they left everything and
followed him.
The Gospel of Christ: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Ye powers who stand before the eternal Light,

an endless alleluia.

The holy city shall take up your strain,
and with glad songs resounding wake again
an endless alleluia.
In blissful antiphons ye thus rejoice

an endless alleluia.
There, in one grand acclaim, for ever ring,
the strains which tell the honor of your King,
an endless alleluia.
While thee, by whom were all things made, we praise
for ever, and tell out in sweetest lays
an endless alleluia.
Almighty Christ, to thee our voices sing
glory for evermore; to thee we bring
an endless alleluia.

10. Music Notes:
“And lo, the angel of the Lord appeared unto Beatrice the
organist and delivered unto her a new hymn from the Lord God
and bade her play it on Sunday. But Beatrice sighed and
explained that the congregation would rise up as one and smite
her with pew cushions if she were to assault their ears with an
unfamiliar sound. And the angel went sorrowing away.”
Well, there’s a new hymn this week at St. Barnabas’ and
Beatrice is prepared for the onslaught! The text is anonymous,
5th Century (Alleluia piis edite laudibus in the original),
translated from Latin to English by John Ellerton in The
Churchman’s Family Magazine, 1865; but it is a fitting
conclusion to the last Sunday of the Epiphany season and the
last before the beginning of Lent (remembered by many of us as
Quinquagesima), a final opportunity to utter the word ‘alleluia’
word before Easter (and there are many opportunities this
morning!). The simple music, recently written, is dedicated to
all of the terrific people of St. Barnabas’ (Chester). To give you
a chance to assimilate the tune, we’ve asked the choir to sing
the first 2 verses of the hymn and for the congregation to join in
verse 3.
Danish born and German raised, Dietrich Buxtehude
(c1637-1709) wrote more than 125 works for choir, although
these have long been overshadowed by those of his younger
contemporary, J.S. Bach. But Buxtehude was a major influence
on Bach, both as performer and composer. This morning’s
anthem “Alleluia” is from one of his cantatas, and is a
delightfully quirky and exuberant piece of music.
Herbert Howells wrote two “airs” for clarinet and piano,
probably for a music festival competition, both of which have
been transcribed for organ. Healey Willan composed

11. ‘Epilogue’ prior to his emigration to Canada in 1913, apparently
for an event at St Alban’s Cathedral. It is not one of his most
performed pieces, but deserves to be heard more often than it is.
