Cantor Sins oft committed, now we lay before thee: with true
contrition, now no more we veil them: grant us Redeemer,
loving absolution.
Cantor Innocent captive, taken unresisting: falsely accused, and for us
sinners sentenced, save us, we pray thee, Jesu our Redeemer.

Hymn
Jesus, lover of my soul, let me to thy bosom fly,
while the nearer waters roll, while the tempest still is high.
Hide me, O my Saviour, hide, till the storm of life is past;
safe into the haven guide; O receive my soul at last.
PLEASE OBSERVE SILENCE BEFORE THE SERVICE BEGINS,
AND ENSURE THAT CELL PHONES ARE TURNED OFF.
PHOTOGRAPHY IS NOT PERMITTED DURING THE LITURGY.
Other refuge have I none; hangs my helpless soul on thee.
Leave, ah! leave me not alone; still support and comfort me.
All my trust on thee is stayed, all my help from thee I bring;
cover my defenseless head with the shadow of thy wing.
(PLEASE REMAIN SEATED)
Introit—Remember Not, O Lord
Henry Purcell
(from The Great Litany - Thomas Cranmer)
Thou, O Christ, art all I want; more than all in thee I find!
Raise the fallen, cheer the faint, heal the sick, and lead the blind.
Just and holy is thy name; I am all unrighteousness:
false and full of sin I am; thou art full of truth and grace.
Remember not, Lord, our offences, nor the offences of our forefathers;
Neither take thou vengeance of our sins, but spare us, good Lord.
Spare thy people, whom thou has redeemed with thy most precious blood,
And be not angry with us for ever. Spare us, good Lord.
Plenteous grace with thee is found, grace to cover all my sin;
let the healing streams abound; make and keep me pure within.
Thou of life the fountain art; freely let me take of thee;
spring thou up within my heart; rise to all eternity.

Henry Purcell
(Psalm 79: 5, 8, 9, 13)
Lord, how long wilt thou be angry?
Shall thy jealousy burn like fire for ever?
O remember not our old sins, but have mercy upon us,
and that soon, for we are come to great misery.
Help us, O God of our salvation, for the glory of thy name;
O deliver us, and be merciful unto our sins, for thy name’s sake.
Cantor To thee Redeemer, on thy throne of glory: lift we our weeping
eyes in holy pleadings: listen, O Jesu, to our supplications.
Cantor O Thou chief cornerstone, right hand of the Father: way of
salvation, gate of life celestial: cleanse thou our sinful souls from
all defilement.
Cantor God we implore thee, in thy glory seated: bow down and
hearken to thy weeping children: pity and pardon all our
grievous trespasses.
