Christ to take our flesh and suffer death upon a cruel cross.

in the glory of his resurrection; through Jesus Christ our
Lord, who is alive and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,
one God, now and forever. Amen.

The Story of Godâs People
A READING FROM THE BOOK OF ISAIAH 50: 4â9a
read by Darryl Nakamoto
In this servant poem from Isaiah, the writer may
have been thinking of an individual or of the nation
as a whole or of the coming Messiah,. But New
Testament writers saw in the words a description of
the Lordâs passion.
The Lord God has given me the tongue of a teacher,
that I may know how to sustain the weary with a
word. Morning by morning he wakensâwakens my
ear to listen as those who are taught. The Lord God
has opened my ear, and I was not rebellious, I did
not turn backward. I gave my back to those who
struck me, and my cheeks to those who pulled out
the beard; I did not hide my face from insult and
spitting. The Lord God helps me; therefore I have
not been disgraced; therefore I have set my face like
ïŹint, and I know that I shall not be put to shame; he
who vindicates me is near. Who will contend with
me? Let us stand up together. Who are my
adversaries? Let them confront me. It is the Lord
God who helps me; who will declare me guilty?
Hear what the Spirit is saying to Godâs People:
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 31: 9-16
Have mercy on me O LORD for I am in trou-ble; *
4. my eye is consumed with sorrow / and also my throat and
my bel-ly.
For my life is wasted with grief and my years with sigh-
ing; *my strength fails me because of affliction
and my bones are con-sumâd.
I have become a reproach to all my enemies and even to my
neighbors /
a dismay to those of my ac-quain-tance; *
when they see me in the street they a-void me.
I am forgotten like a dead man, out of mind; *
I am as useless as a bro-ken pot.
For I have heard the whispering of the crowd / fear is all a-
round; *
they put their heads together against me / they plot to take my
life.
But as for me I have trusted in you O LORD. *
I have said âYou are my God.
My times are in your hand; *
rescue me from the hand of my enemies / and from those
who per-se-cute me.
Make your face to shine upon your ser-vant, *
and in your lovingkind-ness save me.â
Glory be to the Father and to the Son:
and to the Ho-ly Spi-rit.
As it was in the beginning is now and ever shall be:
World with-out end A-men.
A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE PHILIPPIANS 2: 5â
11
read by Helen Taylor
In this passage, Paul sums up his belief in Jesus
Christ.
5. Let the same mind be in you that was in Christ Jesus,
who, though he was in the form of God, did not
regard equality with God as something to be
exploited, but emptied himself, taking the form of a
slave, being born in human likeness. And being
found in human form, he humbled himself and
became obedient to the point of deathâeven death
on a cross. Therefore God also highly exalted him
and gave him the name that is above every name, so
that at the name of Jesus every knee should bend, in
heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every
tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to
the glory of God the Father.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to Godâs People:
Thanks be to God.

body, live his risen life; we, who drink his cup, bring life to
others; we, whom the Spirit lights, give light to the world.
Keep us in the hope you have set before us, so that we and
all your children shall be free, and the whole earth live to
praise your name; through Christ our Lord. Amen.

PROCESSION OF PALMS â MALCOLM WILLIAMSON
In the late 1960s I was introduced to Procession of Palms by my
organ teacher who had the confidence to ask me to accompany
his choir in a Palm Sunday service. Since that time Iâve
incorporated it into several Palm Sunday services in different
10. ways, the most effective being at the start of the service in place
of an organ prelude and preceding the traditional procession.
The work is a bit longer than the usual anthem, being in 5
sections and using words familiar to us all. It begins with a
contemporary musical setting of âRide on, ride on in majestyâ,
followed by a jaunty âAll glory, laud and honourâ. Then comes
a more somber setting of the text âO Saviour of the world, who
by thy cross and precious blood âŠ..â, sung by 2 soloists. A
beautiful âBenedictus qui venitâ (Blessed is he who comes in
the name of the Lord) follows, and the work ends with rousing
shouts of âHosannaâ from the choir.
Malcolm Williamson (1931-2003) was Australian born but
spent his working life in the UK where he was Master of the
Queenâs Musick from 1975 until his death. He composed
Procession of Palms in 1961.
