INTROIT
I was glad when they said unto me,
We will go into the house of the Lord.
Our feet shall stand in thy gates, O Jerusalem.
Jerusalem is built as a city that is at unity in itself.
O pray for the peace of Jerusalem;
they shall prosper that love thee.
Peace be within thy walls,
and plenteousness within thy palaces.
Psalm 122: 1-3, 6-7 C. Hubert H. Parry (1848-1918)
INTRODUCTION
The Dean, The Very Reverend Stephen Waine, says:
We gather together to worship God
and in thanksgiving for the seventy years of faithful service
of our Sovereign Lady Queen Elizabeth.
We give thanks for her example of faithfulness
to God and to her people,
and pray God’s blessing on her
that she may continue to fulfil the promises she has made
with generosity and joy.
O Lord, open our lips
and our mouth shall proclaim your praise.
Let your ways be known upon earth,
your saving power among the nations.HYMN
The hymn begins with a trumpet fanfare,
followed by the first line of the melody.
All people that on earth do dwell,
sing to the Lord with cheerful voice;
him serve with fear, his praise forth tell,
come ye before him, and rejoice.
The Lord, ye know, is God indeed,
without our aid he did us make;
we are his folk, he doth us feed,
and for his sheep he doth us take.
Choir only: O enter then his gates with praise,
approach with joy his courts unto;
praise, laud, and bless his name always,
for it is seemly so to do.
All: For why? the Lord our God is good:
his mercy is for ever sure;
his truth at all times firmly stood,
and shall from age to age endure.
A trumpet fanfare precedes the final verse.To Father, Son, and Holy Ghost,
the God whom heaven and earth adore,
from men and from the Angel-host
be praise and glory evermore. Amen.

Read by Mr James Whitmore
High Sheriff of West Sussex
Does not wisdom call, and does not understanding raise her
voice? On the heights, beside the way, at the crossroads she takes
her stand; beside the gates in front of the town, at the entrance of
the portals she cries out: ‘To you, O people, I call, and my cry is
to all that live. O simple ones, learn prudence; acquire intelligence,
you who lack it. Hear, for I will speak noble things, and from my
lips will come what is right; for my mouth will utter truth;
wickedness is an abomination to my lips. All the words of my
mouth are righteous; there is nothing twisted or crooked in them.
They are all straight to one who understands and right to those
who find knowledge. Take my instruction instead of silver, and
knowledge rather than choice gold; for wisdom is better than
jewels, and all that you may desire cannot compare with her. I,
wisdom, live with prudence, and I attain knowledge and
discretion. The fear of the Lord is hatred of evil. Pride and
arrogance and the way of evil and perverted speech I hate. I have
good advice and sound wisdom; I have insight, I have strength.
By me kings reign, and rulers decree what is just; by me rulers
rule, and nobles, all who govern rightly.
Proverbs 8: 1-16
The choir sings
PSALM 121
I will lift up mine eyes unto the hills: from whence cometh my help.
My help cometh even from the Lord: who hath made heaven and
earth.
He will not suffer thy foot to be moved: and he that keepeth thee
will not sleep.
Behold, he that keepeth Israel: shall neither slumber nor sleep.The Lord himself is thy keeper: the Lord is thy defence upon thy
right hand;
So that the sun shall not burn thee by day: neither the moon by
night.
The Lord shall preserve thee from all evil: yea, it is even he that
shall keep thy soul.
The Lord shall preserve thy going out, and thy coming in: from
this time forth for evermore.
NEW TESTAMENT READING
Read by Mr Andrew Blackman
HM Lord-Lieutenant of East Sussex
The Pharisees plotted to entrap Jesus in what he said. So they sent
their disciples to him, along with the Herodians, saying, ‘Teacher,
we know that you are sincere, and teach the way of God in
accordance with truth, and show deference to no one; for you do
not regard people with partiality. Tell us, then, what you think. Is
it lawful to pay taxes to the emperor, or not?’ But Jesus, aware of
their malice, said, ‘Why are you putting me to the test, you
hypocrites? Show me the coin used for the tax.’ And they brought
him a denarius. Then he said to them, ‘Whose head is this, and
whose title?’ They answered, ‘The emperor’s.’ Then he said to
them, ‘Give therefore to the emperor the things that are the
emperor’s, and to God the things that are God’s.’ When they
heard this, they were amazed; and they left him and went away.
Matthew 22: 16-22Please stand.
HYMN
Come down, O Love divine,
seek thou this soul of mine,
and visit it with thine own ardour glowing;
O Comforter, draw near,
within my heart appear,
and kindle it, thy holy flame bestowing.
O let it freely burn,
till earthly passions turn
to dust and ashes in its heat consuming;
and let thy glorious light
shine ever on my sight,
and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.
Let holy charity
mine outward vesture be,
and lowliness become mine inner clothing;
true lowliness of heart,
which takes the humbler part,
and o’er its own shortcomings weeps with loathing.And so the yearning strong,
with which the soul will long,
shall far outpass the power of human telling;
for none can guess its grace,
till he become the place
wherein the Holy Spirit makes his dwelling.

HYMN
During this hymn the choir processes to the Quire stalls.
Rejoice, O land, in God thy might;
his will obey, him serve aright;
for thee the Saints uplift their voice:
fear not, O land, in God rejoice.
Glad shalt thou be, with blessing crowned,
with joy and peace thou shalt abound;
yea, love with thee shall make his home
until thou see God’s kingdom come.
He shall forgive thy sins untold:
remember thou his love of old;
walk in his way, his word adore,
and keep his truth for evermore.

through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.O God, bless all members of the Commonwealth of nations,
bound together under one Queen.
Help us always to take seriously our great responsibilities,

that gives you alone the glory,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Almighty God,
fill the hearts of all in authority

we may be wise and worthy stewards of your gifts,
through Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
The Intercessions conclude with The Lord’s Prayer:
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, the power and the glory,
for ever and ever.
Amen.The choir sings
TE DEUM LAUDAMUS
We praise thee, O God; we acknowledge thee to be the Lord.
All the earth doth worship thee, the Father everlasting.
To thee all Angels cry aloud, the heavens and all the powers therein.
To thee Cherubin and Seraphin continually do cry,
Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord God of Sabaoth;
Heaven and earth are full of the Majesty of thy glory.
The glorious company of the Apostles praise thee.
The goodly fellowship of the Prophets praise thee.
The noble army of Martyrs praise thee.
The holy Church throughout all the world doth acknowledge thee;
the Father of an infinite Majesty;
thine honourable, true, and only Son;
also the Holy Ghost, the Comforter.
Thou art the King of glory, O Christ.
Thou art the everlasting Son of the Father.
When thou tookest upon thee to deliver man,
thou didst not abhor the Virgin’s womb.
When thou hadst overcome the sharpness of death,
thou didst open the kingdom of heaven to all believers.
Thou sittest at the right hand of God in the glory of the Father.
We believe that thou shalt come to be our Judge.
We therefore pray thee, help thy servants,
whom thou hast redeemed with thy precious blood.
Make them to be numbered with thy Saints in glory everlasting.
O Lord, save thy people, and bless thine heritage.
Govern them, and lift them up for ever.
Day by day we magnify thee;
and we worship thy Name, ever world without end.
Vouchsafe, O Lord to keep us this day without sin.
O Lord, have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us.
O Lord, let thy mercy lighten upon us, as our trust is in thee.
O Lord, in thee have I trusted; let me never be confounded.
