The December seventh service celebrates Nicholas, Bishop of Myra also known as Nicholas the Wonderworker. Saint Nicholas is the patron saint of sailors, merchants, archers, repentant thieves, children, brewers, pawnbrokers, unmarried people, and students in various cities and countries around Europe. His reputation evolved among the pious, as was common for early Christian saints, and his legendary habit of secret gift-giving gave rise to the traditional model of Santa Claus ("Saint Nick") through Sinterklaas[1].The Very Rev. Bernard J Owens will officiate. Judith Eckelmeyer's Trinity Hodie Service will be sung by the Trinity Cathedral Choir.

Anthem: E'en So Lord Jesus Quickly Come - Paul Manz (1919-2009)

Anthem

E'en So, Lord Jesus, Quickly Come - Paul ManzRevelation 22, adapted by Ruth ManzPeace be to you and grace from him Who freed us from our sins,

Who loved us all and shed his blood That we might saved be.

Sing holy, holy to our Lord,

The Lord, Almighty God,

Who was and is and is to come; Sing holy, holy, Lord!

Rejoice in heaven, all ye that dwell therein, Rejoice on earth, ye saints below,

For Christ is coming, is coming soon,

For Christ is coming soon!

E'en so, Lord Jesus, quickly come, And night shall be no more;

They need no light nor lamp nor sun, For Christ will be their All!

The writing of this anthem came at a time of great stress in the Manz household. John Manz, the three-year-old son of Paul and Ruth Manz, developed a rare type of double pneumonia. The illness produced a very high fever, which required hospitalization and painful treatments to lower his temperature. It became important for Paul and Ruth to give twenty-four hour attention as John's condition became critical. During this time Paul composed a motif and Ruth wrote a text based on the last chapter of Revelation as a way of expressing their hope and grief. John recovered and later became a Pastor in the Lutheran Church. The original dedication of the piece read, "For those who prayed for John," but the dedication was later shortened to read, "To John."Permission to podcast/stream the music in this service obtained from ONE LICENSE with license #719993-A.

Anthem My Song is Love Unkown - Malcolm Archer (b. 1952)

ANTHEM:

My Song is Love Unknown - Malcolm Archer (b. 1952)

My song is love unknown, My Saviour's love to me,

Love to the loveless shown that they might lovely be.

O who am I, that for my sake My Lord should take frail flesh and die.

He came from his blest throne, Salvation to bestow:

But men made strange, and none the longed for Christ would know.

But O my Friend, My friend indeed who at my need his life did spend!

Sometimes they strew his way, and his sweet praises sing;

Resounding all the day Hosannas to their King.

Then 'Crucify!' is all their breath, and for his death they thirst and cry.

Here might I stay and sing, no story so divine;

Never was love dear King, never was grief like thine!

This is my friend, in whose sweet praise I all my days could gladly spend.

Amen.

Anthem: Valiant-for-Truth - Ralph Vaughan Williams

After this it was noised abroad, that Mr Valiant-for-truth was taken with a summons...; and had this for a token that the summons was true, 'That his pitcher was broken at the fountain.' When he understood it, he called for his friends, and told them of it. Then, said he, 'I am going to my Father's, and though with great difficulty I am got hither, yet now I do not repent me of all the trouble I have been at to arrive where I am. My sword, I give to him that shall succeed me in my pilgrimage, and my courage and skill, to him that can get it. My marks and scars I carry with me, to be a witness for me, that I have fought his bales, who now will be my rewarder.' When the day that he must go hence, was come, many accompanied him to the riverside, into which, as he went, he said, 'Death, where is thy sng?' And as he went down deeper, he said, 'Grave, where is thy victory?' So he passed over, and all the trumpets sounded for him on the other side.

Anthem King of glory, King of peace - Harold Friedell

King of glory, King of peace, I will love thee; and that love may never cease, I will move Thee. Thou hast granted my request, Thou hast heard me; Thou didst note my working breast, Thou hast spared me. Wherefore with my utmost art I will sing Thee, and the cream of all my heart I will bring Thee. Though my sins against me cried, Thou didst clear me; and alone, when they replied, Thou didst hear me. Sev'n whole days, not one in sev'n, I will praise Thee; in my heart, though not in heav'n, I can raise Thee. Small it is, in this poor sort to enroll Thee: e'en eternity's too short to extol Thee.
