Processional Hymn - I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Come unto me and rest.
Lay down, O weary one,
Lay down your head upon my breast.”
I came to Jesus as I was,
So weary, worn, and sad.
I found in him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“Behold, I freely give
The living water, thirsty one;
Stoop down and drink and live.”
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream.
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
“I am the dawning light.
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
and all your day be bright.”
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun,
And in that light of life I’ll walk
Till trav’ling days are done.
First Reading - Exodus 23:20-23
Thus says the LORD:
"See, I am sending an angel before you,
to guard you on the way and bring you to the place I have prepared.
Be attentive to him and heed his voice.
Do not rebel against him, for he will not forgive your sin.
My authority resides in him.
If you heed his voice and carry out all I tell you,
I will be an enemy to your enemies and a foe to your foes.
"My angel will go before you and bring you to the
Amorites, Hittites, Perizzites,
Canaanites, Hivites, and Jebusites;
and I will wipe them out.
Responsorial Psalm - Psalm 91
R. Be with me LORD when I am in trouble. Be with me LORD I pray.
You who dwell in the shelter of the LORD most high,
Who abide in the shadow of our God,
Say to the LORD, “My refuge and fortress, the God in whom I trust!”
R. Be with me LORD when I am in trouble. Be with me LORD I pray.
No evil shall befall you, no pain come near.
For the angels stand close by your side,
Guarding you always and bearing you gently,
Watching over your life.
R. Be with me LORD when I am in trouble. Be with me LORD I pray.
Those who cling to the LORD live secure in God's love, lifted high those who trust in God's name,
Call on the LORD, who will never forsake you.
God will bring you salvation and joy.
R. Be with me LORD when I am in trouble. Be with me LORD I pray.
Gospel - Matthew 18:1-5, 10
The disciples approached Jesus and said, “Who is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven?”
He called a child over, placed it in their midst, and said, “Amen, I say to you, unless you turn and become like children, you will not enter the Kingdom of heaven.
Whoever humbles himself like this child is the greatest in the Kingdom of heaven.
And whoever receives one child such as this in my name receives me.
“See that you do not despise one of these little ones, for I say to you that their angels in heaven
always look upon the face of my heavenly Father.”

Communion Hymn - On Eagles Wings
You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord
Who abide in His shadow for life
Say to the Lord, “My refuge
My rock, in whom I trust!”
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
The snare of the fowler will never capture you
And famine will bring you no fear
Under His wings, your refuge
His faithfulness, your shield
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the brеath of dawn
Make you to shine like thе sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
You need not fear the terror of the night
Nor the arrow that flies by day
Though thousands fall about you
Near you, it shall not come
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
For to His angels, He's given a command
To guard you in all of your ways
Upon their hands, they will bear you up
Lest you dash your foot against a stone
And He will raise you up on eagle's wings
Bear you on the breath of dawn
Make you to shine like the sun
And hold you in the palm of His hand
And hold you, hold you in the palm of His hand.
Recessional Hymn - Holy, Holy, Holy
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning, our song shall rise to thee.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity!
Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea,
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
God everlasting through eternity.
Holy, holy, holy! Though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye made blindby sin thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy, there is none beside thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love and purity.
Holy, holy, holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy name, in earth and sky and sea.
Holy, holy, holy! Merciful and mighty,
God in three persons, blessed Trinity.
