MINSTER SUNDAY SCHOOL
Welcome to the Minster Sunday School and Crèche who meet during the 10.00 service. Children
and helpers, and any parents, who wish to do so, may follow the cross during the Gradual hymn,
and return just before Communion. The Sunday School and Crèche are available to visitors as
well as to regular members of the congregation. If, however, you prefer to keep your children
with you throughout the service, that is fine.

SP 150 (NEH 271) All creating heavenly Giver
1
All-creating heavenly Giver,
bringing light and life to birth;
all-sustaining heavenly Father
of the families of earth:
we, your children, lift our voices
singing gladly of your love:
never-ending are the praises
rising to your throne above.
3
Life-conceiving wind of heaven,
breathing gifts upon us all;
life-enhancing Spirit, given
to enrich us, great and small:
we, whose talents widely differ,
now restore to you your own,
and in true thanksgiving offer
all we are before the throne.
2
Ever-living Lord and Saviour,
breaking chains of sin and shame;
ever-loving Intercessor,
prayers are answered in your name:
we, your servants, liberated
at a fearsome ransom-price,
in your kingdom are united
by that mighty sacrifice.
4
Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
blessing all within your hand:
full the cup that we inherit,
firm the ground on which we stand:
we, your people, undeserving
of the grace you freely give,
now and ever, in thanksgiving
to your praise and glory live.

Motet
'When he is King we will give Him the Kings'
gifts,
Myrrh for its sweetness, and gold for a crown,
Beautiful robes', said the young girl to Joseph,
Fair with her first-born on Bethlehem Down.
When he is King they will clothe Him in gravesheets,
Myrrh for embalming, and wood for a crown.
He that lies now in the white arms of Mary,
Sleeping so lightly on Bethlehem Down.
Bethlehem Down is full of the starlight Winds for the spices, and stars for the gold,
Mary for sleep, and for lullaby music
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.
Here He has peace and a short while for dreaming.
Close-huddled oxen to keep Him from cold,
Mary for love, and for lullaby music,
Songs of a shepherd by Bethlehem fold.

Music: Peter Warlock 1894-1930
Final Hymn
CP 581 (T ii)
1
Take my life, and let it be
Consecrated, Lord, to thee;
Take my moments and my days,
Let them flow in ceaseless praise.
4
Take my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect, and use
Every power as thou shalt choose
2
Take my hands, and let them move
At the impulse of thy love;
Take my feet, and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee.
5
Take my will, and make it thine;
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart-it is thine own;
It shall be thy royal throne.
3
Take my voice, and let me sing
Always, only, for my King;
Take my lips, and let them be
Filled with messages from thee.
6
Take my love; my Lord, I pour
At thy feet its treasure-store;
Take myself, and I will be
Ever, only, all for thee.
Frances R Havergal 1836-1879
Collect
God our creator, who in the beginning commanded the light to shine out of darkness: we pray that
the light of the glorious gospel of Christ may dispel the darkness of ignorance and unbelief, shine into
the hearts of all your people, and reveal the knowledge of your glory in the face of Jesus Christ your
Son our Lord, who is alive and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for
ever.
Post Communion
Generous Lord, in word and Eucharist we have proclaimed the mystery of your love: help us so to
live out our days that we may be signs of your wonders in the world; through Jesus Christ our
Saviour.
Receiving Holy Communion. If you normally receive communion in your own church you are
welcome to receive communion here. If you don’t want to take communion but would like a blessing,
please bring your service booklet with you to let the minister know.
The normal practice in York Minster is to receive the wafer into the hand. If you prefer not to drink
from the common cup, please take the wafer only. Gluten-free communion wafers are available at the
communion station nearest the pulpit at the front left of the Nave. If you require a gluten-free
communion wafer, please inform a Steward and make your way to the front of the Nave. When the
time comes to receive communion, please ask the priest for a gluten-free wafer. If you need to
receive communion in your seat please tell a Steward and this will be arranged.
The congregation is warmly invited to gather for a cup of coffee or tea in the Chapter House
following the 10.00 am service.

Videte miraculum matris Domini:
concepit virgo virilis ignara consortii,
stans onerata nobili onere Maria;
et matrem se laetam cognosci,
quae se nescit uxorem.
Haec speciosum forma prae filiis hominum
castis concepit visceribus,
et benedicta in aeternum
Deum nobis protulit et hominem.
Gloria Patri et Filio et Spiritui Sancto.
Behold the miracle of the mother of the Lord:
a virgin has conceived though she knows not a man,
Mary, who stands laden with her noble burden;
knowing not that she is a wife,
she rejoices to be a mother.
She has conceived in her chaste womb
one who is beautiful beyond the sons of men,
and blessed for ever,
she has brought forth God and man for us.
Glory to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost.

NOTICES
Tickets for all Minster Community events are available either from the Minster Community Table in
the Chapter House Vestibule following the 10 am Sunday Eucharist, or from the Box Office at
Church House: 01904 557208 or [email protected]
Security Arrangements – Entrance to the Minster
In the light of recent events the Minster team have reviewed security arrangements. Over time the
police cabin entrance in the Chapter House yard has become established as a semi-public entrance.
This leaves our private, back of house space vulnerable and also compromises the safety and
security of our colleagues in the Police team and our control function. Therefore, we intend to
revert to using this door as a controlled entrance again. The door is accessed via a fob system.
While we appreciate this may cause a change in your usual route or practice, we hope you will
understand the reasons for implementing this change and support us in enabling our Police team to
do their jobs at this time of heightened threat.
Considering Confirmation?
I am running a group for adults who would like to explore the basics of our faith beginning this
Monday 2nd February. We will be meeting at my house, 4, Minster Yard. We will meet at 7.30pm
and we will be finished by 9pm. This group is for anyone who would like to consider the possibility
of being confirmed (we will have Confirmations at the Minster on Easter Eve, Saturday 4 April) and
for anyone who would simply like to revisit some of the basics of our faith. The course will run until
Easter. I know a few people who are coming and if you would like to join in please drop me an email
([email protected]) or just turn up.
Community Event: Being a Hospital Chaplain – Joys and Challenges

CELEBRATING GOD’S GENEROSITY
Our focus on Celebrating God’s Generosity concludes today when we are all invited to return the
Response Cards that were enclosed with the letter from the Dean and place them in the
offering. If you have not returned your Response Card we would appreciate it if you would do in
the next few days as we intend to announce the outcome next Sunday.
Spare copies of the Dean’s letter and the other literature are available in the unaddressed
envelopes which can be found on a table. These can be picked up after the service. The location
of the table will be announced in the notices.
This focus on Responsible Stewardship is one of the five main areas of work that are identified in
the York Minster Strategic Plan. A positive response to our focus on Celebrating God’s Generosity
will enable us develop our ministry to the thousands of people who visit York Minster.
If you would like further information about this or to talk to someone about it, Gareth Foster
(the Community Committee Treasurer) would be very happy to discuss it with you.
