A READING FROM THE BOOK OF JOB 42: 1-6, 10-17

3. Read by Esma Brathwaite
Then Job answered the Lord: “I know that you can do
all things, and that no purpose of yours can be
thwarted. ‘Who is this that hides counsel without
knowledge?’ Therefore I have uttered what I did not
understand, things too wonderful for me, which I did
not know. ‘Hear, and I will speak; I will question you,
and you declare to me.’ I had heard of you by the
hearing of the ear, but now my eye sees you;
therefore I despise myself, and repent in dust and
ashes.” And the Lord restored the fortunes of Job
when he had prayed for his friends; and the Lord
gave Job twice as much as he had before. Then there
came to him all his brothers and sisters and all who
had known him before, and they ate bread with him
in his house; they showed him sympathy and
comforted him for all the evil that the Lord had
brought upon him; and each of them gave him a piece of money
and a gold ring. The Lord blessed the latter days of Job more
than his beginning; and he had fourteen thousand sheep, six
thousand camels, a thousand yoke of oxen, and a thousand
donkeys. He also had seven sons and three daughters. He named
the first Jemimah, the second Keziah, and the third Keren-
happuch. In all the land there were no women so beautiful as
Job’s daughters; and their father gave them an inheritance along
with their brothers. After this Job lived one hundred and forty
years, and saw his children, and his children’s children, four
generations. And Job died, old and full of days.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.
PSALM 34: 1-8 (sung)

4. I will bless the LORD at all times; *
his praise shall ever be in my mouth.
I will glory in the LORD; *
let the humble hear and re-joice.
Proclaim with me the greatness of the LORD; *
let us exalt his Name to-ge-ther.
I sought the LORD, and he answered me *
and delivered me out of all my ter-ror.
Look upon him and be rad-i-ant, *
and let not your fa-ces be a-sham’d.
I called in my affliction and the LORD heard me *
and saved me from all my trou-bles.
The angel of the LORD encompasses those who fear him, *
and he will de-li-ver them.
Taste and see that the LORD is good; *
happy are they who trust in him!
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 TO THE HEBREWS 7: 23-28
Read by Louise MacKenzie
Furthermore, the former priests were many in number, because
they were prevented by death from continuing in office; but he
holds his priesthood permanently, because he continues forever.
Consequently he is able for all time to save those who approach
God through him, since he always lives to make intercession for
them. For it was fitting that we should have such a high priest,
holy, blameless, undefiled, separated from sinners, and exalted
above the heavens. Unlike the other high priests, he has no need
to offer sacrifices day after day, first for his own sins, and then

5. for those of the people; this he did once for all when he offered
himself. For the law appoints as high priests those who are
subject to weakness, but the word of the oath, which came later
than the law, appoints a Son who has been made perfect forever.
Hear what the Spirit is saying to God’s People:
Thanks be to God.

They came to Jericho. As Jesus and his disciples and
a large crowd were leaving Jericho, Bartimaeus son
of Timaeus, a blind beggar, was sitting by the
roadside. When he heard that it was Jesus of
Nazareth, he began to shout out and say, “Jesus, Son
of David, have mercy on me!” Many sternly ordered
him to be quiet, but he cried out even more loudly,
“Son of David, have mercy on me!” Jesus stood still
and said, “Call him here.” And they called the blind
man, saying to him, “Take heart; get up, he is calling
you.” So throwing off his cloak, he sprang up and
came to Jesus. Then Jesus said to him, “What do you
want me to do for you?” The blind man said to him,
“My teacher, let me see again.” Jesus said to him,

6. “Go; your faith has made you well.” Immediately he
regained his sight and followed him on the way.
The Gospel of Christ. Praise be to thee, O Christ.
Homily
Anthem: Expectans, expectavi – Sir Charles Wood
This sanctuary of my soul,
Unwitting I keep white and whole,
Unlatch'd and lit, if Thou should'st care
To enter or to tarry there.
With parted lips and outstretch'd hands,
And list'ning ears Thy servant stands.
Call Thou early, call Thou late,
to Thy great service dedicate.
My soul, keep white, and whole.

Music Notes:

10. Charles Hamilton Sorley (1895 – 1915) was a British World
War I poet who was shot during the Battle of Loos, and whose
life and work are commemorated on a stone in Poet’s Corner,
Westminster Abbey. The text of today’s anthem is taken from
the final two verses of Sorley’s “Expectans,
expectavi” (translated as ‘I waited patiently’) ... here are the
opening verses:
From morn to night, all day through,
I laugh and play as others do,
I sin and chatter, just the same
As others with a different name.
And all year long upon the stage,
I dance and tumble and do rage
So vehemently, I scarcely see
The inner and eternal me.
I have a temple I do not
Visit, a heart I have forgot,
A self shrine—and yet, and yet …
As a composer, Charles Wood (1866-1926) exhibited
"fastidious taste and fine scholarship". Wood was an important
teacher at Cambridge University where he became Professor of
Music in 1924 following Stanford's death. “Expectans
expectavi” was published in 1919. It is slightly unusual in its
construction: it has a short and effective pianissimo coda, and a
bar of silence before the build-up to the climax begins.

11. REMEMBERING - Sunday 11 November @ 4 pm
Along with piper Rob Crabtree, our four lead singers are
featured at the Remembrance Day concert, each contributing a
solo - Skye Boat Song (Fiona), Heart of Oak (Ross), Dido's
Lament ("When I am laid in earth") by Henry Purcell (Virginia)
and O Danny Boy (Ed). From the organ you'll hear the beautiful
and moving Nimrod from Sir Edward Elgar's Enigma Variations
and the 'oh-so-English' Spitfire Prelude by Sir William Walton.
Along with some music for choir, patriotic songs (3 verses each
for O Canada and God Save the Queen!), some singalongs (The
Maple Leaf Forever, It's a Long Way to Tipperary, I Vow to Thee
my Country) and a reading by Neville Reid of In Flanders
Fields, the concert promises to be a fitting tribute to the victims
of both World Wars and to the veterans who served. If you
haven't done so, please get a ticket from one of the choir
members or from Mary in the church office. They are only $8
in advance ($10 at the door), and we hope you'll invite your
friends and relatives to come along too.
