thanksgiving: and show ourselves gladin him with psalms.

For the Lord is a great God: and a great king above all gods. In his hand are all the corners of the earth:and the strength of the hills is his also. The sea is his and he made it: and his hands prepared the dry land. O come, let us worship and fall down: and kneel before the Lord our Maker. For he is the Lord our God: and we are the people of his pasture, and

the sheep of his hand. Today if ye will hear his voice, harden not your hearts: as in the provocation, and as in the day of temptation in the

wilderness; When your fathers tempted me: proved me and saw my works. Forty years long was I grieved with this

generation and said:It is a people that do err in their hearts, for they have not known my ways. Unto whom I sware in my wrath: that they should not enter into my rest. Glory be to the Father, and to the Son: and to the Holy Ghost; as it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be: world without end. Amen.

The Lesson St Mark 12, vs. 28-34

Read by the Chaplain of the House of Keys:

And one of the scribes came up and heard themdisputing with one another, and seeing that heanswered them well, asked him, Whichcommandment is the most important of all?

Jesus answered, The most important is, Hear, OIsrael: The Lord our God, the Lord is one. Andyou shall love the Lord your God with all yourheart and with all your soul and with all yourmind and with all your strength.

The second is this: You shall love your neighbouras yourself. There is no other commandmentgreater than these. And the scribe said to him,

You are right, teacher. You have truly said that heis one, and there is no other beside him. And tolove him with all the heart and with allunderstanding and with all strength, and to loveone’s neighbour as oneself, is much more than allwhole burnt offerings and sacrifices.

And when Jesus saw that he answered wisely, hesaid to him, You are not far from the kingdom ofGod. And after that no one dared to ask him anymore questions.

ChorusGreat is thy faithfulness, great is thyfaithfulness! Morning by morning new mercies I see; All I have needed thy hand hath provided Great is thy faithfulness, Lord unto me!

2. Summer and winter, and springtime andharvest, Sun, moon and stars in their coursesabove, Join with all nature in manifold witness To thy great faithfulness, mercy andlove.

3. Pardon for sin and a peace thatendureth, Thy own dear presence to cheer and toguide; Strength for today and bright hope fortomorrow,Blessings all mine, with ten thousandbeside!
