Processional Hymn Hymn 225 “Hail thee, festival day!”
The Pentecost Vesperal hymn Veni Creator Spiritus, in our hymnal as #504, ranks as one of the most well-known plainsong hymns. Both de Grigny and Duruflé’s settings of this chant rank among the finest compositional examples of their era. Born into a musical family, de Grigny most prominently served as organist of the Notre-Dame Cathedral in Reims - - famous as the cathedral in which France’s kings were crowned. De Grigny’s only published work for organ is the Livre d’Orgue from 1699 which includes five versets on Veni Creator of which we hear the first and fourth today. The first presents the chant in notes of lengthened duration on a prominent trumpet sound in the tenor voice surrounded by majestic fivevoice counterpoint. The lyrical fourth verset is an ornamented solo line based on a portion of the chant accompanied by the most delicate sounds of French Classic organs.

Maurice Duruflé Salve festa dies
The Opening Acclamation & Collect for Purity Celebrant Alleluia. Christ is risen. People
The Lord is risen indeed. Alleluia.
Almighty God, to you all hearts are open, all desires known, and from you no secrets are hid: Cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of your Holy Spirit, that we may perfectly love you, and worthily
Twentieth-century French composer Duruflé was among the first to grow up singing Gregorian chant as part of a renewed interest in chant. As a boy chorister at the Rouen Cathedral, he would have sung Veni Creator Spiritus every Pentecost for Vespers. His major organ work on this hymn was finished in 1930. A triptyque, it concludes with a hommage to the Baroque and Classic periods in French organ music, much like the de Grigny heard earlier, in a set of versets. Exactly like in the past, Duruflé’s first verset features a full statement of the chant using the organ’s shimmering principal chorus. More intimate variations follow. The concluding variation begins with a rhythmically active toccata figuration based on the chant melody whose energy swells to a glorious climax.

The Collect of the Day: Contemporary Celebrant The Lord be with you. People
And also with you.
Celebrant Let us pray. O God, who on this day taught the hearts of your faithful people by sending to them the light of your Holy Spirit: Grant us by the same Spirit to have a right judgment in all things, and evermore to rejoice in his holy comfort; through Jesus Christ your Son our Lord, who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen. Seated
The Lesson
Acts 2:1-21
When the day of Pentecost had come, the disciples were all together in one place. And suddenly from heaven there came a sound like the rush of a violent wind, and it filled the entire house where they were sitting. Divided tongues, as of fire, appeared among them, and a tongue rested on each of them. All of them were filled with the Holy Spirit and began
3
to speak in other languages, as the Spirit gave them ability. Now there were devout Jews from every nation under heaven living in Jerusalem. And at this sound the crowd gathered and was bewildered, because each one heard them speaking in the native language of each. Amazed and astonished, they asked, “Are not all these who are speaking Galileans? And how is it that we hear, each of us, in our own native language? Parthians, Medes, Elamites, and residents of Mesopotamia, Judea and Cappadocia, Pontus and Asia, Phrygia and Pamphylia, Egypt and the parts of Libya belonging to Cyrene, and visitors from Rome, both Jews and proselytes, Cretans and Arabs-- in our own languages we hear them speaking about God’s deeds of power.” All were amazed and perplexed, saying to one another, “What does this mean?” But others sneered and said, “They are filled with new wine.” But Peter, standing with the eleven, raised his voice and addressed them, “Men of Judea and all who live in Jerusalem, let this be known to you, and listen to what I say. Indeed, these are not drunk, as you suppose, for it is only nine o’clock in the morning. No, this is what was spoken through the prophet Joel: `In the last days it will be, God declares, that I will pour out my Spirit upon all flesh, and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams. Even upon my slaves, both men and women, in those days I will pour out my Spirit; and they shall prophesy. And I will show portents in the heaven above and signs on the earth below, blood, and fire, and smoky mist. The sun shall be turned to darkness and the moon to blood, before the coming of the Lord’s great and glorious day. Then everyone who calls on the name of the Lord shall be saved.’ “ Deacon

Thanks be to God.
Psalm 104:25-35, 37 (Anglican chant)
Edward C. Bairstow
O Lord, how manifold are your works! *
in wisdom you have made them all; the earth is full of your creatures.
Yonder is the great and wide sea with its living things too many to number, *
4
creatures both small and great.
There move the ships, and there is that Leviathan, *
which you have made for the sport of it.
All of them look to you *
to give them their food in due season.
You give it to them; they gather it; *
you open your hand, and they are filled with good things.
You hide your face, and they are terrified; *
you take away their breath, and they die and return to their dust.
You send forth your Spirit, and they are created; *
and so you renew the face of the earth.
May the glory of the Lord endure for ever; *
may the Lord rejoice in all his works.
He looks at the earth and it trembles; *
he touches the mountains and they smoke.
I will sing to the Lord as long as I live; *
I will praise my God while I have my being.
May these words of mine please him; *
I will rejoice in the Lord.
Bless the Lord, O my soul. * Hallelujah! Standing

Glory to you, Lord Christ.
On the last day of the festival, the great day, while Jesus was standing there, he cried out, “Let anyone who is thirsty come to me, and let the one who believes in me drink. As the scripture has said, ‘Out of the believer’s heart shall flow rivers of living water.’” Now he said this about the Spirit, which believers in him were to receive; for as yet there was no Spirit, because Jesus was not yet glorified.

Christ by Baptism into his death, and raised with him to

observance is ended, to renew the solemn promises and

all his works, and promised to serve God faithfully in his holy
Catholic Church.

renew your commitment to Jesus Christ?
People
I do.
Celebrant Do you believe in God the Father? People

earth.

and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead.

Hymn S 129 Sanctus and Benedictus
Robert Powell
Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself, and, when we had fallen into sin and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent Jesus Christ, your only and eternal Son, to share our human nature, to live and die as one of us, to reconcile us to you, the God and Father of all. He stretched out his arms upon the cross, and offered himself, in obedience to your will, a perfect sacrifice for the whole world.
At the following words concerning the bread, the Celebrant is to hold it, or lay a hand upon it; and at the words concerning the cup, to hold or place a hand upon the cup and any other vessel containing wine to be consecrated.
On the night he was handed over to suffering and death, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks to you, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, and said, “Take, eat: This is my Body, which is given for you. Do this for the remembrance of me.” After supper he took the cup of wine; and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, and said, “Drink this, all of you: This is my Blood of the new Covenant, which is shed for you and for many for the forgiveness of
11
sins. Whenever you drink it, do this for the remembrance of me.”
Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Christ has died.

praise and thanksgiving. Recalling his death, resurrection, and ascension, we offer you these gifts. Sanctify them by your Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son, the holy food and drink of new and unending life in him. Sanctify us also that we may faithfully receive this holy Sacrament, and serve you in unity, constancy, and peace; and at the last day bring us with all your saints into the joy of your eternal kingdom. All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. AMEN. And now, as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to say, Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.

Concluding Hymn Hymn 511 “Holy Spirit, ever living”
Abbot’s Leigh
Postlude Komm, heiliger Geist, BWV 561
Johann Sebastian Bach
Komm, heiliger Geist is a Pentecost hymn text by Martin Luther which begins with an adaptation of the Pentecost Sequence Veni, Sancte Spiritus. One of two settings of this hymn found in Bach’s “Leipzig Chorales,” today’s prelude is an extroverted piece ideal for celebrating the Feast of Pentecost. Perpetual motion writing for the hands (perhaps depicting the Holy Spirit as rushing wind, as in today’s reading from Acts 2) presents never-ceasing excitement over a slow and fervent pedal line, which features the hymn melody. The foregoing text of the worship service contained in this order of worship is taken from the Book of Common Prayer 1979. The Book of Common Prayer alone is of authority in the worship of the Episcopal Church. This program is provided for convenience of use on this occasion.
