Almighty God, you have built your Church upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ himself being the chief cornerstone: Grant us so to be joined together in unity of spirit by their teaching, that we may be made a holy temple acceptable to you; through Jesus Christ our Lord, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. Amen.
10:40 “Whoever receives you receives me, and whoever receives me receives him who sent me. 41 The one who receives a prophet because he is a prophet will receive a prophet's reward, and the one who receives a righteous person because he is a righteous person will receive a righteous person's reward. 42 And whoever gives one of these little ones even a cup of cold water because he is a disciple, truly, I say to you, he will by no means lose his reward.”
The poem “Christ Hath a Garden,” by the English poet Robert Seymour Bridges, portrays the Church as Christ’s garden—nurtured by grace and awaiting the presence of the “Beloved Master.” Although often associated with Advent, its themes make it fitting throughout the church year. Today, the choir sings Gerald Near’s anthem setting of this text. Near, a contemporary American composer and church musician, served for many years as Canon Precentor of St. Matthew’s Cathedral in Dallas, Texas. Two of his hymns appear in our hymnal as well service music. Throughout most of the year, we sing his “Christ our Passover is sacrificed for us” at the Fraction.
