Prelude: Harpsichord Prelude in C major (J.S. Bach)

Played by Adrian Boynton

Introit for Ascensiontide: Eternal Monarch, King most high (plainchant)

Sung and played by Adrian Boynton

Hymn: We sing the praise of Jesus, of our ascending Lord

We sing the praise of Jesus,
of our ascending Lord;
the triumph of our Saviour,
of Christ the Son of God.
The forty days are over,
earth sees his face no more;
our Christ the King of glory
we worship and adore.

Rejoicing in Christ’s promise
we wait in prayer and praise,
the Spirit sent from heaven
to set the earth ablaze;
we pray with expectation,
we praise with one accord,
we wait for living fire,
the power of the Lord.

Therefore with saints and angels
and all the hosts above
we lift our hearts and voices
to bless the God of love;
to sing of our Redeemer
who intercedes and prays,
that God the Holy Spirit
may guide us all our days.

With songs of alleluia
let earth and heaven ring;
and praises to the Father
let all creation sing.
All honour be to Jesus,
God’s own eternal Son;
and to the Holy Spirit
let endless praise be done!

Responsorial Psalm:
God goes up with shouts of joy (Psalm 47)

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

All peoples, clap your hands,
cry to God with shouts of joy!
For the Lord, the Most High, we must fear,
great king over all the earth.

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
Sing praise for God, sing praise,
sing praise to our king, sing praise.

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

God is king of all the earth,
sing praise with all your skill.
God is king over the nations;
God reigns on his holy throne.

God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.
God goes up with shouts of joy;
the Lord goes up with trumpet blast.

Hymn: Open the eyes of my heart, Lord

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see You, I want to see You.

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see You, I want to see You.

To see you high and lifted up,
shining in the light of Your glory.
Pour out Your power and love,
as we sing, ‘Holy, holy, holy.’

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see You, I want to see You.

Open the eyes of my heart, Lord,
Open the eyes of my heart.
I want to see You, I want to see You.

To see you high and lifted up,
shining in the light of Your glory.
Pour out Your power and love,
as we sing, ‘Holy, holy, holy.’

Holy, holy, holy,
holy, holy, holy,
holy, holy, holy,
I want to see You.

Hymn: Christ is the King! O friends rejoice

Christ is the King! O friends rejoice;
brothers and sisters with one voice
tell all the world he is your choice.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

O magnify the Lord, and raise
anthems of joy and holy praise
for Christ’s brave saints of ancient days.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Christ through all ages is the same:
place the same hope in his great name,
with the same faith his words proclaim.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

Let love’s unconquerable might
your scattered companies unite
in service to the Lord of light.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia

So shall God’s will on earth be done,
new lamps be lit, new tasks begun,
and the whole church at last be one.
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia
