In the Season of Lent each year, God’s
Church calls us to observe practices as
together we seek to reorder and reorient
ourselves towards the life of Jesus, and
the service of his Kingdom. The past few
years I have chosen to read Mark’s
gospel account of the Transfiguration
each night during Compline. While this
may not have affected the brightness of
my laundry whites, it has been a
welcome reminder of the transforming
power of God in the darkness of Lent!
Jesus’ transfiguration on the mountain is
an open invitation for us all to respond
to the grace that flows in, through and
from him. This invitation is a foretaste of
the ‘theandric mystery’ – the union of
human nature with the divine. The
transfiguration reminds us of the innate
God-given human potential: to be called
into the loving embrace of God; to have
ourselves wholly taken, body and soul,
into himself to shine in glory.

Deans from every Cathedral across Australia will gather together. A great opportunity to pray together and meet at various sessions to discuss the problems common to all Cathedrals and share triumphs. Remember when Goulburn hosted the Deans conference 2009? Dean Phillip has prepared a presentation on the Restoration works carried out here which will be of great interest to the Deans. The Dean returns on Tuesday. Please hold the Deans in your prayers.

Opening Hymn
Christ, whose glory fills the skies,
Christ the true, the only light,
sun of righteousness, arise,
triumph over shades of night;
dayspring from on high, be near;
day-star, in my heart appear.
Dark and cheerless is the morn
if you seem not close to me;
joyless is the day's return,
till your mercy's beams I see,
till they inward light impart,
glad my eyes, and warm my heart.
Visit then this soul of mine;
pierce the gloom of sin and grief;
fill me, radiancy divine;
scatter all my unbelief;
more and more yourself display,
shining to the perfect day.
Charles Wesley 1707-88 alt.

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns 6th August 2017
Gradual Hymn
Love of the Father, Love of God the Son,
from whom all came, in whom was all begun;
who formest heavenly beauty out of strife,
creation’s whole desire and breath of life:
Thou the all-holy, thou supreme in might,
thou dost give peace, thy presence maketh right;
thou with thy favour all things doth enfold,
with thine all-kindness free from harm wilt hold.
Hope of all comfort, splendour of all aid,
that dost not fail nor leave the heart afraid:
to all that cry thou dost all help accord,
the angels’ armour, and the saints’ reward.
Purest and highest, wisest and most just,
there is no truth save only in thy trust;
thou dost the mind from earthly dreams recall,
and bring, through Christ, to him for whom are all.
Robert Bridges 1844-1930
based on Amor Patris et Filii, 12th century CP186 Tune TIS524
Offertory Hymn
.
Light’s abode, celestial Salem,
vision whence true peace doth spring,
brighter than the heart can fancy,
mansion of the highest King;
O how glorious are the praises
which of thee the prophets sing!
There is no cloud or passing vapour
dims the brightness of the air;
endless noon-day, glorious noon-day,
from the Sun of suns is there;
there no night brings rest from labour,
for unknown are toil and care.
O how glorious and resplendent,
fragile body, thou shalt be,
when endued with so much beauty,
full of health and strong and free,
full of vigour, full of pleasure
that shalt last eternally.
Laud and honour to the Father,
laud and honour to the Son,
laud and honour to the Spirit,
ever Three and ever One,
consubstantial, co-eternal,
while unending ages run. Amen
Ascribed to Thomas A Kempis C1380-1471

St Saviour’s Cathedral Hymns 6th August 2017
Final Hymn
Christ is the world's true light,
its captain of salvation,
the day-star clear and bright,
desire of every nation;
new life, new hope awakes
for all who own his sway:
freedom her bondage breaks,
and night is turned to day.
In Christ all races meet,
their ancient feuds forgetting,
the whole round world complete,
from sunrise to its setting:
when Christ is throned as Lord
all shall forsake their fear,
to ploughshare beat the sword,
to pruning-hook the spear.
One Lord, in one great name
unite us all who own you;
cast out our pride and shame
that hinder to enthrone you;
the world has waited long,
has travailed long in pain;
to heal its ancient wrong,
come, Prince of Peace, and reign.
George Wallace Briggs 1875-1959 alt.

Psalm 97
1 The Lord is king; let the earth rejoice:
let the multitude of islands be glad. 2 Clouds and darkness are round about him:
righteousness and justice are the foundation of his throne.
3 Fire goes before him: and burns up his enemies on every side.
4 His lightnings light the world: the earth sees it and quakes.
5 The mountains melt like wax before his face: from before the face of the Lord of all the earth.
6 The heavens have proclaimed his righteousness: and all peoples have seen his glory.
7 They are ashamed, all those who serve idols and glory in mere nothings:
all gods bow down before him. 8 Zion heard and was glad,
and the daughters of Judah rejoiced: because of your judgements, O God.
9 For you, Lord, are most high over all the earth: you are exalted far above all gods.
10 The Lord loves those that hate evil: the Lord guards the life of the faithful, and delivers them from the hand of the ungodly.
11 Light dawns for the righteous: and joy for the true of heart.
12 Rejoice in the Lord, you righteous:
and give thanks to his holy name.
