At the start of the service this may be the Gloria in excelsis. If the procession is made before the Gospel, the hymn ‘Hail to the Lord who comes’ is appropriate. Nunc dimittis is more suitable when the procession is made at the end of the service. This service is appropriate for the Feast of the Epiphany, whether it is celebrated on 6 January or transferred to the Sunday falling between 2 and 8 January. ¶ The Gathering ↑ Concerning spiritual gifts, brethren, I would not have you ignorant. Ye know that ye were Gentiles, carried away unto these dumb idols, even as ye were led. Wherefore I give you to understand, that no man speaking by the Spirit of God calleth Jesus accursed; and that no man can say that Jesus is the Lord, but by the Holy Ghost. Now there are diversities of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are differences of administrations, but the same Lord. And there are diversities of operations, but it is the same God, who worketh all in all. But the manifestation of the Spirit is given to every man to profit withal. For to one is given by the Spirit the word of wisdom; to another the word of knowledge by the same Spirit; to another faith by the same Spirit; to another the gifts of healing by the same Spirit; to another the working of miracles; to another prophecy; to another discerning of spirits; to another divers kinds of tongues; to another the interpretation of tongues. But all these worketh that one and the self-same Spirit, dividing to every man severally as he will. The Gospel The procession, with the chalice or flagon of wine, moves to the holy table as a hymn is sung or music is played. The congregation may follow.

Henceforth I call you not servants; for the servant knoweth not what his lord doeth: but I have called you friends; for all things that I have heard of my Father I have made known unto you. Ye have not chosen me, but I have chosen you, and ordained you, that ye should go and bring forth fruit, and that your fruit should remain: that whatsoever ye shall ask of the Father in my name, he may give it you. these tables, verses are stated inclusively.
