1928 Book of Common Prayer + BACK + NEXT Collects, Epistles, and Gospels for Trinity Season The Twenty-third Sunday after Trinity. Missal Propers The Collect. O GOD, our refuge and strength, who art the author of all godliness; Be ready, we beseech thee, to hear the devout prayers of thy Church; and grant that those things which we ask faithfully we may obtain effectually; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. The Epistle. Philippians iii. 17. BRETHREN, be followers together of me, and mark them which walk so as ye have us for an ensample. (For many walk, of whom I have told you often, and now tell you even weeping, that they are the enemies of the cross of Christ: whose end is destruction, whose god is their belly, and whose glory is in their shame, who mind earthly things.) For our citizenship is in heaven; from whence also we look for the Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ: who shall change the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed unto the body of his glory, according to the working whereby he is able even to subject all things unto himself. The Gospel. St. Matthew xxii. 15. THEN went the Pharisees, and took counsel how they might entangle him in his talk. And they sent out unto him their disciples with the Herodians, saying, Master, we know that thou art true, and teachest the way of God in truth, neither carest thou for any man: for thou regardest not the person of men. Tell us therefore, What thinkest thou? Is it lawful to give tribute unto Caesar, or not? But Jesus perceived their wickedness, and said, Why tempt ye me, ye hypocrites? Shew me the tribute money. And they brought unto him a penny. And he saith unto them, Whose is this image and superscription? They say unto him, Caesar's. Then saith he unto them, Render therefore unto Caesar the things which are Caesar's; and unto God the things that are God's. When they had heard these words, they marvelled, and left him, and went their way.   Hymn Suggestions + +   Note: Requires "Scorch" plugin God of our fathers, known of old - Old112th 147 Now that the daylight fills the sky - Jam lucis orto sidere 159 Now that the daylight fills the sky- Herr Jesu Christ 159 And now, O Father, mindful of the love - Unde et memores 189 Here, O my Lord, I see thee face to face - Penitentia 208 Bread of heaven, on thee we feed - Bread of heaven 212 All people that on earth do dwell - Old 100th 278 Praise to the living God - Leoni 286 Give praise and glory unto God - Elbing 287 Before the Lord's eternal throne - Winchester New 300 Praise the Lord through every nation - Sleepers wake 351 Thou art the Way, to thee alone - St. James 361 Jesus, lead the way - Rochelle 425 Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing - Sicilian Mariners 489 Lord, dismiss us with thy blessing - Dismissal 489 City not made with hands - Old 112th 491 When wilt thou save the people - Kendal 496 O God of earth and altar - King's Lynn 521 God the Omnipotent - Russia 523 Father eternal, Ruler of creation - Langham 532 Christ for the world we sing - Moscow 537 Jesus shall reign whereer the sun - Duke Street 542 Sing Alleluia forth in duteous praise - Martins 583
