The Feast of the Epiphany

January 6, 2011

The church is in darkness and the service begins in silence.

Tolling of the bell

Priest:  Light and peace, in Jesus Christ our Lord.

People:  Thanks be to God.

Reader:Arise, shine; for your light has come,
And the glory of the Lord has risen upon you.
For darkness shall cover the earth, and thick darkness the peoples;
But the Lord will arise upon you, and his glory will appear over you.
Nations shall come to your light,
And kings to the brightness of your dawn.  (Isaiah 60:1-3)

Priest:

Almighty God, we give you thanks for surrounding us, as daylight fades, with the brightness of the vesper light; and we implore you of your great mercy that, as you enfold us with the radiance of this light, so you would shine into our hearts the brightness of your Holy Spirit; through Jesus Christ our Lord.  Amen.

Lighting of the candles

O Gracious Light                  (sung by choir)                                               H 25

Priest:  The Lord be with you.

People:  And also with you.

Priest:  Let us pray.

O God, by the leading of a star you manifested your only Son to the peoples of the earth:  Lead us, who know you now by faith, to your presence, where we may see your glory face to face; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever.  Amen

Psalm 134  (Read in Unison)

Come, bless the Lord, all you servants of the Lord,
Who stand by night in the house of the Lord!
Lift up your hands to the holy place, and bless the Lord;
May the Lord, maker of heaven and earth, bless you from Zion.
Glory to the Father, and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit,
As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be.

Amen

Prayers of the People

Lord Jesus, stay with us, for the darkness is at hand, and the day is past; be our light along the way, kindle our hearts and awaken our hope, that we may know you as you are revealed in scripture and in the breaking of the bread.  Grant that we may be witnesses to your light for the sake of your love.  Amen.

We pray that as the people of God, called together to be the church, we may be witnesses to your light and love to a world that waits in darkness.  Amen.

We pray for our nation, divided by distrust and suspicion of one another.  We pray that the light of your love will lead us toward understanding, tolerance and love for one another, so that we can be a people at peace among ourselves and a blessing to the other nations of the earth.  Amen.

We pray for those among us who are ill, those among us who are suffering from depression, those among us who are suffering from grief, those among us who are suffering from addiction, those among us who are dying.  We pray that we may be witnesses to them of your healing light and love.  Amen.

We pray for those serving in our military, that they may have the light of Your way ever in front of them as they enter into the darkness of battle and conflict.  Amen.

We pray for those who have died, that they come to dwell in the joy of your eternal light and life.  Amen.

God of light, hear the prayers of your people, offered  either silently or aloud.

O God, the source of eternal light:  send your unending light upon us who watch for you, that together we may sing your praises, and that our lives may reflect your light.  Be our light in the darkness, O Lord, and in your great mercy defend us from the darkness of this night, through the love of your Son, the true light that has come into the world. Amen.

Lord God Almighty, in whose Name the founders of this country won liberty for themselves and for us, and lit the torch of freedom for nations yet unborn:  Grant that we and all the people of this land, especially those serving in our armed forces, may have the grace to maintain these liberties, being protected under Your great might and guidance, in order that our land will continue to be blessed by the light of freedom.  Help each of us to serve You in righteousness, and ultimately in peace and in safety, through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, forever and ever.  Amen.   

Our fathers’ God to thee, author of liberty, to thee we sing.

Long may our land be bright, with freedom’s holy light.

Protect us by Thy might, great God our King.  Amen
