First Reading -
Jonah 3:1-5, 10

The word of the LORD came to Jonah, saying:
"Set out for the great city of Nineveh,
and announce to it the message that I will tell you."
So Jonah made ready and went to Nineveh,
according to the LORD'S bidding.
Now Nineveh was an enormously large city;
it took three days to go through it.
Jonah began his journey through the city,
and had gone but a single day's walk announcing,
"Forty days more and Nineveh shall be destroyed, "
when the people of Nineveh believed God;
they proclaimed a fast and all of them, great and small, put on sackcloth.

When God saw by their actions how they turned from their evil way, he repented of the evil that he had threatened to do to them; he did not carry it out.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm -
Ps. 25

R. Teach me your ways, O Lord.

Second Reading -
1 Cor. 7:29-31

Gospel Acclamation

R: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Gospel -
Mark 1:14-20

Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.

Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to Mark.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

After John had been arrested,
Jesus came to Galilee proclaiming the gospel of God:
"This is the time of fulfillment.
The kingdom of God is at hand.
Repent, and believe in the gospel."

As he passed by the Sea of Galilee,
he saw Simon and his brother Andrew casting their nets into the sea;
they were fishermen.
Jesus said to them,
"Come after me, and I will make you fishers of men."
Then they abandoned their nets and followed him.
He walked along a little farther
and saw James, the son of Zebedee, and his brother John.
They too were in a boat mending their nets.
Then he called them.
So they left their father Zebedee in the boat
along with the hired men and followed him.

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Homily (please sit)

Nicene Creed (please stand)

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,
maker of heaven and earth,
of all things visible and invisible.

I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ,
the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary,
and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Are you hurting and broken within?
Overwhelmed by the weight of your sin?
Jesus is calling
Have you come to the end of yourself?
Do you thirst for a drink from the well?
Jesus is calling

O come to the altar
The Father's arms are open wide
Forgiveness was bought with
The precious blood of Jesus Christ

Leave behind your regrets and mistakes
Come today, there's no reason to wait
Jesus is calling
Bring your sorrows and trade them for joy
From the ashes, a new life is born
Jesus is calling

Oh, what a Savior
Isn't He wonderful?
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen
Bow down before Him
For He is Lord of all
Sing hallelujah, Christ is risen

Processional Hymn - 764 - Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service

Lord, whose love in humble service
Bore the weight of human need,
Who upon the cross, forsaken,
Offered mercy's perfect deed:
We, your servants, bring the worship
Not of voice alone, but heart,
Consecrating to your purpose
Ev'ry gift that you impart.

2. Still the children wander homeless,
Still the hungry cry for bread.
Still the captives long for freedom,
Still in grief we mourn our dead.
As you Lord, in deep compassion,
Healed the sick and freed the soul,
Use the love your Spirit kindles
Still to save and make us whole.

3. As we worship, grant us vision,
Till your love's revealing light
In its height and depth and greatness
Dawns upon our human sight,
Making known the needs and burdens
Your compassion bids us bear,
Stirring us to faithful service,
Your abundant life to share.

4. Called from worship into service,
Forth in your great name we go
To the child, the youth, the aged,
Love in living deeds to show.
Hope and health, goodwill and comfort,
Counsel, aid, and peace we give
That your children, Lord, in freedom,
May your mercy know, and live.

Greeting:

Priest: The Lord be with you.

ALL: And with your spirit.

Lord, have mercy.

R. Teach me your ways, O Lord.

Your ways, O Lord, make known to me;
Teach me your paths.
Guide me in our truth and teach me,
for you are God my savior.
R. Teach me your ways, O Lord.

Remember that your compassion, O Lord,
and your love are from of old.
In your kindness remember me,
because of your goodness, O Lord.
R. Teach me your ways, O Lord.

Good and upright is the Lord;

Second Reading -
1 Cor. 7:29-31

I tell you, brothers and sisters, the time is running out.
From now on, let those having wives act as not having them,
those weeping as not weeping,
those rejoicing as not rejoicing,
those buying as not owning,
those using the world as not using it fully.
For the world in its present form is passing away.

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with him.
Avoid immorality.
Every other sin a person commits is outside the body, but the immoral person sins against his own body.
Do you not know that your body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you,
whom you have from God, and that you are not your own?
For you have been purchased at a price.
Therefore glorify God in your body.

The Word of the Lord.

Offertory Song - 790 - The Summons

Will you come and follow me
If I but call your name?
Will you go where you don't know
And never be the same?
Will you let my love be shown,
Will you let my name be known,
Will you let my life be grown
In you and you in me?

Will you leave yourself behind
If I but call your name?
Will you care for cruel and kind
And never be the same?
Will you risk the hostile stare
Should your life attract or scare?
Will you let me answer prayer
In you and you in me?

Will you let the blinded see
If I but call your name?
Will you set the pris’ners free
And never be the same?
Will you kiss the leper clean,
And do such as this unseen,
And admit to what I mean
In you and you in me?

Will you love the ‘you’ you hide
If I but call your name?
Will you quell that fear inside
And never be the same?
Will you use the faith you've found
To reshape the world around,
Through my sight and touch and sound
In you and you in me?

Lord, your summons echoes true
When you but call my name.
Let me turn and follow you
And never be the same.
In your company, I'll go
Where your love and footsteps show.
Thus I'll move and live and grow
In you, and you in me.

You that yearn for days of fullness,
All around us is our food.
Taste and see the grace eternal.
Taste and see that God is good.

All who hunger, never strangers;
Seeker, be a welcome guest.
Come from restlessness and roaming.
Here in joy we keep the feast.
We that once were lost and scattered
In communion’s love have stood.
Taste and see the grace eternal.
Taste and see that God is good.

All who hunger, sing together,

Live their days in gratitude.

Let us build the city of God
May our tears
Be turned into dancing
For the lord
Our light and our love
Has turned the night into day

We are sons of the morning,
We are daughters of day.
The one who has loved us
Has brightened our way.

The lord of all kindness
Has called us to be
A light for his people
To set their hearts free.

Let us build the city of God
May our tears
Be turned into dancing
For the lord
Our light and our love
Has turned the night into day

First Reading -
1 Samuel 3:3b—10,19

Samuel was sleeping in the temple of the LORD where the ark of God was.
The LORD called to Samuel, who answered, "Here I am."
Samuel ran to Eli and said, "Here I am. You called me."
"I did not call you, " Eli said. "Go back to sleep."
So he went back to sleep.
Again the LORD called Samuel, who rose and went to Eli.
"Here I am, " he said. "You called me."
But Eli answered, "I did not call you, my son. Go back to sleep."

At that time Samuel was not familiar with the LORD, because the LORD had not revealed anything to him as yet.
The LORD called Samuel again, for the third time.
Getting up and going to Eli, he said, "Here I am. You called me."
Then Eli understood that the LORD was calling the youth.
So he said to Samuel, "Go to sleep, and if you are called, reply, Speak, LORD, for your servant is listening."
When Samuel went to sleep in his place,
the LORD came and revealed his presence,
calling out as before, "Samuel, Samuel!"
Samuel answered, "Speak, for your servant is listening."

Samuel grew up, and the LORD was with him, not permitting any word of his to be without effect.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: Thanks be to God.

The body is not for immorality, but for the Lord, and the Lord is for the body;
God raised the Lord and will also raise us by his power.

Do you not know that your bodies are members of Christ? But whoever is joined to the Lord becomes one Spirit with him.
Avoid immorality.
Every other sin a person commits is outside the body,
but the immoral person sins against his own body.
Do you not know that your body
is a temple of the Holy Spirit within you,

For you have been purchased at a price.
Therefore glorify God in your body.

ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

John was standing with two of his disciples,
and as he watched Jesus walk by, he said,
"Behold, the Lamb of God."
The two disciples heard what he said and followed Jesus.
Jesus turned and saw them following him and said to them,
"What are you looking for?"
They said to him, "Rabbi" — which translated means Teacher —,
"where are you staying?"
He said to them, "Come, and you will see."
So they went and saw where Jesus was staying, and they stayed with him that day.
It was about four in the afternoon.
Andrew, the brother of Simon Peter,
was one of the two who heard John and followed Jesus.
He first found his own brother Simon and told him, "We have found the Messiah" — which is translated Christ —.
Then he brought him to Jesus.
Jesus looked at him and said,
"You are Simon the son of John;
you will be called Cephas" — which is translated Peter.

Processional Hymn - 459 - Songs of Thankfulness and Praise

Songs of thankfulness and praise,
Jesus, Lord, to you we raise,
Manifested by the star
to the sages from afar;
branch of royal David's stem,
in your birth at Bethlehem.
Anthems be to you addressed,
God in man made manifest.

Manifest at Jordan's stream,
Prophet, Priest, and King supreme,
and at Cana, wedding guest,
in your Godhead manifest;
manifest in pow'r divine,
changing water into wine.
Anthems be to you addressed,
God in man made manifest.

Manifest in making whole
palsied limbs and fainting soul;
manifest in valiant fight,
quelling all the devil's might;
manifest in gracious will,
ever bringing good from ill:
Anthems be to you addressed,
God in man made manifest.

Grant us grace to see you, Lord,
present in your holy Word.
By that grace which you endow
Help us imitate you now,
that we, pure like you may be
at your great epiphany
and may praise you, ever blest,
God in man made manifest.

Greeting:

Priest: The Lord be with you.

ALL: And with your spirit.

Kyrie:

Lord, have mercy.
Christ, have mercy.
Lord, have mercy.

I believe in one God,
the Father almighty,

the Only Begotten Son of God,
born of the Father before all ages.
God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God,
begotten, not made, consubstantial with the Father;
through him all things were made.
For us men and for our salvation
he came down from heaven,
and by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man.
For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate,
he suffered death and was buried,
and rose again on the third day
in accordance with the Scriptures.
He ascended into heaven
and is seated at the right hand of the Father.
He will come again in glory
to judge the living and the dead
and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Offertory Song - 777 - Here I Am

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.
I, who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear my light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord,
Is it I, Lord?
I have heard you calling in the night.
I will go, Lord,
If you lead me,
I will hold your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,
I have borne my people’s pain.
I have wept for love of them,
They turn away.
I will break their hearts of stone,
Give them hearts for love alone.
I will speak My word to them
Whom shall I send?

I, the Lord of wind and flame,
I will tend the poor and lame.
I will set a feast for them.
My hand will save.
Finest bread I will provide
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give my life to them,
Whom shall I send?

Communion Hymn - 939 - Behold the Lamb

Those who were in the dark
are thankful for the sunlight;
We who live, we who die
are grateful for this gift,
thankful for God’s love.

Behold, behold the Lamb of God.
All who eat, all who drink shall live;
and all, all who dwell with God,
shall come to know God’s glory!

Peaceful now, those whose hearts are blessed with understanding
Of the wheat, of the wine united with God’s word
and the love we share.

Gentle one, Child of God,
join with us at this table.
Bless our lives,
nourish all who hunger for this feast;
shelter them with peace.

Lord of all, give us light,
Deliver us from evil.
Make us one; be our shield.
Make still the winds that blow;
cradle us with love.

Closing Hymn - 635 - Let All Things Now Living

Let all things now living
a song of thanksgiving
To God the creator
triumphantly raise.
Who fashioned and made us,
protected and stayed us,
And guides us with care
to the end of our days.
God's banners are o'er us, God’s light goes before us,
A pillar of fire shining forth in the night.
Till shadows have vanished
and darkness is banished
As forward we travel from light into light.

God rules all the forces,
the stars in their courses
And sun in its orbit obediently shine;
The hills and the mountains,
the rivers and fountains,
The deeps of the ocean
proclaim God divine.
We too should be voicing
our love and rejoicing;
With glad adoration
a song let us raise
Till all things now living
unite in thanksgiving:
”To God in the highest,
hosanna and praise!”

1st Reading –
Is. 60:1-6

Rise up in splendor, Jerusalem! Your light has come, the glory of the Lord shines upon you.
See, darkness covers the earth,
and thick clouds cover the peoples;
but upon you the LORD shines,
and over you appears his glory.
Nations shall walk by your light,
and kings by your shining radiance.
Raise your eyes and look about;
they all gather and come to you:
your sons come from afar,
and your daughters in the arms of their nurses.

Then you shall be radiant at what you see,
your heart shall throb and overflow,
for the riches of the sea shall be emptied out before you, the wealth of nations shall be brought to you.
Caravans of camels shall fill you,
dromedaries from Midian and Ephah;
all from Sheba shall come
bearing gold and frankincense,
and proclaiming the praises of the LORD.

The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Brothers and sisters:
You have heard of the stewardship of God’s grace that was given to me for your benefit,
namely, that the mystery was made known to me by revelation.
It was not made known to people in other generations as it has now been revealed
to his holy apostles and prophets by the Spirit: that the Gentiles are coheirs, members of the same body,
and copartners in the promise in Christ Jesus through the gospel.

The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Priest or Deacon:

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Matthew.

When Jesus was born in Bethlehem of Judea, in the days of King Herod,
behold, magi from the east arrived in Jerusalem, saying,
“Where is the newborn king of the Jews?
We saw his star at its rising
and have come to do him homage.”
When King Herod heard this,
he was greatly troubled,
and all Jerusalem with him.
Assembling all the chief priests and the scribes of the people,
He inquired of them where the Christ was to be born.
They said to him, “In Bethlehem of Judea,
for thus it has been written through the prophet:
And you, Bethlehem, land of Judah,
are by no means least among the rulers of Judah; since from you shall come a ruler,
who is to shepherd my people Israel.”
Then Herod called the magi secretly
and ascertained from them the time of the star’s appearance.
He sent them to Bethlehem and said,
“Go and search diligently for the child.
When you have found him, bring me word,
that I too may go and do him homage.”
After their audience with the king they set out.
And behold, the star that they had seen at its rising preceded them, until it came and stopped over the place where the child was.
They were overjoyed at seeing the star,
and on entering the house they saw the child with Mary his mother.
They prostrated themselves and did him homage.
Then they opened their treasures
and offered him gifts of gold, frankincense, and myrrh.
And having been warned in a dream not to return to Herod, they departed for their country by another way.
The Gospel of the Lord.

All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

Offertory Hymn - We Three Kings

We three kings of Orient are
Bearing gifts we traverse afar
Field and fountain moor and mountain
Following yonder star

O star of wonder star of night
Star with royal beauty bright
Westward leading still proceeding
Guide us to Thy perfect light

Born a King on Bethlehem's plain
Gold I bring to crown Him again
King forever ceasing never
Over us all to reign

Frankincense to offer have I
Incense owns a Deity nigh
Prayer and praising all men raising
Worship Him God on high

Myrrh is mine its bitter perfume
Breathes a life of gathering gloom
Sorrowing sighing bleeding dying
Sealed in the stone cold tomb

Glorious now behold Him arise
King and God and sacrifice
Alleluia alleluia
Peals through the earth and skies

Communion Hymn - What Star is This?

What star is this, with beams so bright,
More lovely than the noonday light?
’Tis sent to announce a newborn king,
Glad tidings of our God to bring.

’Tis now fulfilled what God decreed,
“From Jacob shall a star proceed;”
And lo! the eastern sages stand
To read in heav'n the Lord’s command.

While outward signs, the star displays,
An inward light, the Lord conveys.
It urges them, with force benign,
To seek the Giver of the sign.

O Jesus, while the star of grace
Impels us on to seek your face,
Let not our slothful hearts refuse
The guidance of your light to use.

To God Creator, heav’nly light,
To Christ revealed in earthly night
To God the Spirit blest, we raise
An endless song of thankful praise!

Recessional Hymn - Go Tell it On the Mountain

Go tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and ev'rywhere
Go tell it on the mountain
That Jesus Christ is born

While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a holy light

The shepherds feared and trembled
When lo above the earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed the Savior's birth

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

Communion Hymn - 460 - The First Nowell

The first “Nowell” the angels did say
Was to certain poor shepherds in fields as they lay;
In fields where they lay keeping their sheep,
On a cold winter’s night that was so deep.

Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel!

They looked up and saw a star
Shining in the east, beyond them far;
And to the earth it gave great light,
And so it continued both day and night.

Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel!

And by the light of that same star
Three wise men came from country far;
To seek for a King was their intent,
And to follow the star wherever it went.

Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel!

This star drew nigh to the northwest:
O’er Bethlehem it took its rest;
And there it did both stop and stay,
Right over the place where Jesus lay.

Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel!

Then entered in those wise men three,
Full rev’rently upon their knee,
And offered there, in his presence,
Their gold and myrrh, and frankincense.

Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel!

Then let us all with one accord
Sing praises to our heavenly Lord
Who made the heavens and earth of naught,
And with His blood our life has bought.

Nowell! Nowell! Nowell! Nowell!
Born is the King of Israel!

Recessional Hymn - 462 - Epiphany Carol

Ev’ry nation sees the glory of a star that pierced the night.
As we tell the wondrous story we are bathed in radiant light.
Star sent forth from highest heaven, dancing light of God’s design,
Shine upon the gift that’s given: Word made flesh now born in time.

Ev’ry tongue shall sing the praises of his birth in deepest night.
He is healing for the ages; he is Christ, our God’s delight.
He proclaims within his being all our hopes, our great desires.
He shall die to rise redeeming all who follow with their lives.

Once again may we discover Word made flesh sent from above
In our neighbor, sister, brother, in the lonely and unloved.
May we touch him, may we hold him, may we cradle him with care
As we learn to love each other, bringing hope from our despair.

Gather, God, the world together in the brightness of your day.
Fill our hearts with joy forever, help us walk the holy way.
May your justice rule the nations; may all people live as one.
Now we see our true salvation in the glory of your Son.

Opening Hymn - Once in Royal David’s City

Once in royal David's city
Stood a lowly cattle shed
Where a mother laid her Baby
In a manger for His bed
Mary was that mother mild
Jesus Christ her little Child

He came down to earth from heaven
Who is God and Lord of all
And His shelter was a stable
And His cradle was a stall
With the poor and mean and lowly
Lived on earth our Savior holy

For He is our childhood's pattern
Day by day like us He grew
He was little weak and helpless
Tears and smiles like us He knew
And he feeleth for our sadness
And he shareth in our gladness

And our eyes at last shall see Him
Through His own redeeming love
For that Child so dear and gentle
Is our Lord in heaven above
And He leads His children on
To the place where He is gone

I will make your reward very great.”
But Abram said,
“O Lord GOD, what good will your gifts be,
if I keep on being childless
and have as my heir the steward of my house, Eliezer?”
Abram continued,
“See, you have given me no offspring,
and so one of my servants will be my heir.”
Then the word of the LORD came to him:
“No, that one shall not be your heir;
your own issue shall be your heir.”
The Lord took Abram outside and said,
“Look up at the sky and count the stars, if you can.
Just so,” he added, “shall your descendants be.”
Abram put his faith in the LORD,
who credited it to him as an act of righteousness.

The LORD took note of Sarah as he had said he would;
he did for her as he had promised.
Sarah became pregnant and bore Abraham a son in his old age,
at the set time that God had stated.
Abraham gave the name Isaac to this son of his
whom Sarah bore him.

The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

Responsorial Psalm –
Psalm 105

R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.

Give thanks to the LORD, proclaim his name;
make known his deeds among the people.
O sing to him, sing his praise,
tell all his wonderful works.
R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.

Glory in his holy name;
let the hearts that seek the LORD rejoice!
Turn to the LORD and his strength;
constantly seek his face.
R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.

O children of Abraham, his servant,
O descendants of the Jacob he chose,
He, the LORD, is our God;
his judgements are in all the earth.
R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.

He remembers his covenant forever;
the promise he ordained for a thousand generations,
the covenant he made with Abraham
the oath he swore to Isaac.
R. The Lord remembers his covenant for ever.

2nd Reading –
Hebrews 11:8, 11-12, 17-19

Brothers and sisters:
By faith Abraham obeyed when he was called to go out to a place
that he was to receive as an inheritance;
he went out, not knowing where he was to go.
By faith he received power to generate,
even though he was past the normal age
--and Sarah herself was sterile--
for he thought that the one who had made the promise was trustworthy.
So it was that there came forth from one man, himself as good as dead,
descendants as numerous as the stars in the sky and as countless as the sands on the seashore.

By faith Abraham, when put to the test, offered up Isaac,
and he who had received the promises was ready to offer
his only son,
of whom it was said,
“Through Isaac descendants shall bear your name.”
He reasoned that God was able to raise even from the dead,
and he received Isaac back as a symbol.

The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

When the days were completed for their purification
according to the law of Moses,
They took him up to Jerusalem
to present him to the Lord,
just as it is written in the law of the Lord,
Every male that opens the womb shall be consecrated to the Lord,
and to offer the sacrifice of
a pair of turtledoves or two young pigeons,
in accordance with the dictate in the law of the Lord.

Now there was a man in Jerusalem whose name was Simeon.
This man was righteous and devout,
awaiting the consolation of Israel,
and the Holy Spirit was upon him.
It had been revealed to him by the Holy Spirit that he should not see death
before he had seen the Christ of the Lord.
He came in the Spirit into the temple;
and when the parents brought in the child Jesus to perform the custom of the law in regard to him,
He took him into his arms and blessed God, saying:
“Now, Master, you may let your servant go
in peace, according to your word,
for my eyes have seen your salvation,
which you prepared in sight of all the peoples, a light for revelation to the Gentiles, and glory for your people Israel.”
The child’s father and mother were amazed at what was said about him;
and Simeon blessed them and said to Mary his mother,
“Behold, this child is destined
for the fall and rise of many in Israel,
and to be a sign that will be contradicted
—and you yourself a sword will pierce—
so that the thoughts of many hearts may be revealed.”
There was also a prophetess, Anna,
the daughter of Phanuel, of the tribe of Asher.
She was advanced in years,
having lived seven years with her husband after her marriage,
and then as a widow until she was eighty-four.
She never left the temple,
but worshiped night and day with fasting and prayer.
And coming forward at that very time,
she gave thanks to God and spoke about the child to all who were awaiting the redemption of Jerusalem.

When they had fulfilled all the prescriptions
of the law of the Lord,
they returned to Galilee,
to their own town of Nazareth.
The child grew and became strong, filled with wisdom;
and the favor of God was upon him.
The Gospel of the Lord.

All: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

What Child is this who laid to rest
On Mary's lap is sleeping
Whom angels greet with anthems sweet
While shepherds watch are keeping

This this is Christ the King
Whom shepherds guard and angels sing
Haste haste to bring Him laud
The Babe the Son of Mary

So bring Him incense gold and myrrh
Come peasant king to own Him
The King of kings salvation brings
Let loving hearts enthrone Him

Raise raise a song on high
The virgin sings her lullaby
Joy, joy for Christ is born
The Babe the Son of Mary (Mary)

The cross He bore for me for you
Hail hail the Word made flesh

Wood of the cradle, wood of the cross,
Bearing a lifetime of joy and of loss,
Who is your loved one?
Who could he be,
Born in a manger to die on a tree?
This, this is Jesus the Lord,
Here in the body and blood outpoured.
Come, come, come walk in his ways.
Kneel at the manger and rise from the grave.

Shepherds lie sleeping, deep in their dreams;
Angels awaken them. “What could this mean?
Whom do you herald? Whom must we find?
A child in a Manger? Our God born in time?”
This, this is Jesus the Lord,
Here in the body and blood outpoured.
Come, come, come walk in his ways.
Kneel at the manger and rise from the grave.

Star in the heavens bearing new light,
Guiding the sages and ages this night:
Where will you lead us? Where can he be,
The child born of myst’ry who died on a tree?
This, this is Jesus the Lord,
Here in the body and blood outpoured.
Come, come, come walk in his ways.
Kneel at the manger and rise from the grave.

Come, all who hunger, come, all who thirst;
Come, all who seek him. God's joy on the earth.
Find him a shelter, bright, safe, and warm;
See in all people his love being born.
This, this is Jesus the Lord,
Here in the body and blood outpoured.
Come, come, come walk in his ways.
Kneel at the manger and rise from the grave.

Go, tell it on the mountain
Over the hills and everywhere

While shepherds kept their watching
O'er silent flocks by night
Behold throughout the heavens
There shone a Holy light

The shepherds feared and trembled
When, lo! Above the Earth
Rang out the angel chorus
That hailed our Savior's birth

Down in a lowly manger
The humble Christ was born
And God sent us salvation
That blessed Christmas morn

You shall be a glorious crown in the hand of the LORD, a royal diadem held by your God.
No more shall people call you “Forsaken,” or your land “Desolate,” but you shall be called “My Delight,” and your land “Espoused.”
For the LORD delights in you and makes your land his spouse.
As a young man marries a virgin, your Builder shall marry you; and as a bridegroom rejoices in his bride so shall your God rejoice in you.

When he had accomplished purification from sins he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high, as far superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

For to which of the angels did God ever say:
   You are my son; this day I have begotten you?
Or again:
   I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me?
And again, when he leads the firstborn into the world, he says:

When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another,
“Let us go, then, to Bethlehem
to see this thing that has taken place,
which the Lord has made known to us.”

So they went in haste and found Mary and Joseph, and the infant lying in the manger.
When they saw this, they made known the message that had been told them about this child.
All who heard it were amazed by what had been told them by the shepherds.
And Mary kept all these things, reflecting on them in her heart.

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing;
The Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus!
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask you to stay
Close by me forever,
And love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care,
And fit us for heaven,

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

When the angels went away from them to heaven, the shepherds said to one another,
“Let us go, then, to Bethlehem
to see this thing that has taken place,
which the Lord has made known to us.”

Then the shepherds returned, glorifying and praising God for all they had heard and seen, just as it had been told to them.

Sweetly singing o'er the plains,
And the mountains in reply
Echo back their joyous strains.

Whom the choirs of angels praise;

While our hearts in love we raise.

Communion Hymns - 427 - Of the Father’s Love Begotten

Of the Father’s love begotten
Ere the worlds began to be,
He is Alpha and Omega,
He the source, the ending he
Of the things that are,
that have been,
And that future years shall see
Evermore and evermore!

O that birth forever blessed,
When the Virgin, full of grace,
Overshadowed by the Spirit,
Bore the Savior of our race;
And the babe, the world’s redeemer,
First revealed his sacred face.
Evermore and evermore!

This is he whom seers and sages
Sang of old with one accord,
Whom the voices of the prophets
Promised in their faithful word;
Now he shines, the long-expected;
Let creation praise its Lord
Evermore and evermore!

Let the heights of heav’n adore him;
Angel hosts, his praises sing;
Pow’rs, dominions bow before him
And extol our God and King;
Let no tongue on earth be silent,
Ev’ry voice in concert ring
Evermore and evermore!

Christ, to you, with God the Father,
And the Spirit, One in Three,
Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving
And unwearied praises be:
Honor, glory, and dominion,
And eternal victory
Evermore and evermore!

Brothers and sisters:
In times past, God spoke in partial and various ways to our ancestors through the prophets; in these last days, he has spoken to us through the Son,
   whom he made heir of all things
   and through whom he created the universe, who is the refulgence of his glory,
the very imprint of his being, and who sustains all things by his mighty word.
       When he had accomplished purification from sins, he took his seat at the right hand of the Majesty on high, as far superior to the angels as the name he has inherited is more excellent than theirs.

The Word of the Lord.
All: Thanks be to God.

A reading from the holy Gospel according to Luke

In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled.
This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town.
And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.

While they were there,
the time came for her to have her child,
and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.

Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields
and keeping the night watch over their flock.
The angel of the Lord appeared to them
and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were struck with great fear.

The angel said to them,
“Do not be afraid;
for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people.
For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord.
And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.”

And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel,
praising God and saying:
“Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

The Gospel of the Lord.

Away in a manger,
No crib for His bed,
The little Lord Jesus
Laid down His sweet head.
The stars in the bright sky
Looked down where He lay,
The little Lord Jesus,
Asleep on the hay.

The cattle are lowing;
The Baby awakes,
But little Lord Jesus
No crying He makes.
I love you, Lord Jesus!
Look down from the sky
And stay by my cradle,
'Til morning is nigh.

Be near me, Lord Jesus,
I ask you to stay
Close by me forever,
And love me, I pray.
Bless all the dear children
In Your tender care,
And fit us for heaven,
To live with You there

When King David was settled in his palace, and the LORD had given him rest from his enemies on every side, he said to Nathan the prophet, “Here I am living in a house of cedar, while the ark of God dwells in a tent!”
Nathan answered the king, “Go, do whatever you have in mind, for the LORD is with you.”
But that night the LORD spoke to Nathan and said: “Go, tell my servant David, ‘Thus says the LORD: Should you build me a house to dwell in?

“‘It was I who took you from the pasture and from the care of the flock to be commander of my people Israel.
“‘I have been with you wherever you went, and I have destroyed all your enemies before you.
“‘And I will make you famous like the great ones of the earth.
“‘I will fix a place for my people Israel; I will plant them so that they may dwell in their place without further disturbance.
“‘Neither shall the wicked continue to afflict them as they did of old, since the time I first appointed judges over my people Israel.
“‘I will give you rest from all your enemies.
“‘The LORD also reveals to you that he will establish a house for you.
“‘And when your time comes and you rest with your ancestors, I will raise up your heir after you, sprung from your loins, and I will make his kingdom firm.
“‘I will be a father to him, and he shall be a son to me.
“‘Your house and your kingdom shall endure forever before me; your throne shall stand firm forever.’”

ALL: Thanks be to God.

“Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.

Offertory Hymn - 451 - Lo! How a Rose E’re Blooming

Lo, how a Rose e’er blooming
From tender stem hath sprung!
From Jesse’s lineage coming,
As seers of old have sung.
It came, a blossom bright,
Amid the cold of winter,
When half spent was the night.

Isaiah ‘twas foretold it,
The Rose I have in mind;
With Mary we behold it,
The Virgin Mother kind.
To show God’s love aright,
She bore to us a Savior,
When half spent was the night.

This Flow’r, whose fragrance tender
With sweetness fills the air,
Dispels with glorious splendor
The darkness ev’rywhere.
True man, yet very God,
From sin and death he saves us,
And lightens every load.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord
And my spirit exalts in God my Savior
For He has looked with mercy
on my lowliness
And my name will be forever exalted
For the mighty God has done
great things for me
And His mercy will reach from age to age

And holy holy
Holy is His name

He has revealed His power and His glory
He has cast down the mighty in their arrogance
And has lifted up the meek and the lowly
He has come to help His servant Israel
He remembers His promise to our fathers

Recessional - 423 - Awake! Awake and Greet the New Morn

Awake! Awake, and greet the new morn,
For angels herald its dawning.
Sing out your joy for soon he is born,
Behold the Child of our longing!
Come as a baby weak and poor,
To bring all hearts together,
He opens wide the heav’ly door
And lives now inside us forever.

To us, to all in sorrow and fear,
Emmanuel comes a-singing;
His humble song is quiet and near,
Yet fills the earth with its ringing.
Music to heal the broken soul
And hymns of lovingkindness,
The thunder of his anthems roll
To shatter all hatred and blindness.

In darkest night his coming shall be,
When all the world is dispairing,
As morning light so quiet and free,
So warm and gentle and caring.
Then shall the mute break forth in song,
The lame shall leap in wonder,
The weak be raised above the strong,
And weapons be broken asunder.

Rejoice, rejoice, take heart in the night,
Though dark the winter and cheerless,
The rising sun shall crown you with light;
Be strong and loving and fearless.
Love be our song and love our prayer
And love our endless story.
May God fill every day we share
And bring us at last into glory.

Third Sunday of Advent (Sunday 5pm)

Processional Song -
Come, O Long Expected Jesus

Come, Thou long expected Jesus
Born to set Thy people free;
From our fears and sins release us,
Let us find our rest in Thee.
Israel's strength and consolation,
Hope of all the earth Thou art;
Dear desire of every nation,
Joy of every longing heart.

Born Thy people to deliver,
Born a child and yet a King,
Born to reign in us forever,
Now Thy gracious kingdom bring.
By Thine own eternal Spirit
Rule in all our hearts alone;
By Thine all sufficient merit,
Raise us to Thy glorious throne.

First Reading -
Isaiah 61:1-2A, 10-11

The spirit of the Lord GOD is upon me, because the LORD has anointed me; he has sent me to bring glad tidings to the poor, to heal the brokenhearted, to proclaim liberty to the captives and release to the prisoners, to announce a year of favor from the LORD and a day of vindication by our God.

I rejoice heartily in the LORD, in my God is the joy of my soul; for he has clothed me with a robe of salvation and wrapped me in a mantle of justice, like a bridegroom adorned with a diadem, like a bride bedecked with her jewels.
As the earth brings forth its plants, and a garden makes its growth spring up, so will the Lord GOD make justice and praise spring up before all the nations.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: THANKS BE TO GOD.

Responsorial Psalm -
Luke 1

R. My soul rejoices in my God, my soul rejoices in my God.

My soul proclaims the greatness of the Lord; my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, for he has looked upon his lowly servant.
From this day all generations will call me blessed.
R. My soul rejoices in my God, my soul rejoices in my God.

The Almighty has done great things for me, and holy is his Name.
He has mercy on those who fear him in every generation.
R. My soul rejoices in my God, my soul rejoices in my God.

He has filled the hungry with good things, and the rich he has sent away empty.
He has come to the help of his servant Israel for he has remembered his promise of mercy.
R. My soul rejoices in my God, my soul rejoices in my God.

Second Reading - 1 Thessalonians 5:16-24

Rejoice always. Pray without ceasing.
In all circumstances give thanks, for this is the will of God for you in Christ Jesus.
Do not quench the Spirit.
Do not despise prophetic utterances.
Test everything; retain what is good.
Refrain from every kind of evil.

May the God of peace make you perfectly holy and may you entirely, spirit, soul, and body, be preserved blameless for the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ.
The one who calls you is faithful, and he will also accomplish it.

The Word of the Lord.

John 1:6-8, 19-28

Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.

Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to John.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

A man named John was sent from God.
He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him.
He was not the light, but came to testify to the light.

And this is the testimony of John.
When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?”
He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.”
So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?”
And he said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”
He answered, “No.”
So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?
“What do you have to say for yourself?”
He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘make straight the way of the Lord,’” as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Some Pharisees were also sent.
They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?”
John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.”
This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The Gospel of the Lord.

and his kingdom will have no end.

I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life,
who proceeds from the Father and the Son,
who with the Father and the Son is adored and glorified,
who has spoken through the prophets.

I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church.
I confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life of the world to come. Amen.

Prayer for Our Lady of Angels Parish

Offertory Song -
Advent Hymn

Christ whose glory fills the skies
Christ the everlasting light
Son of righteousness arise
And triumph o'er these chains of mine
Come thou long awaited One
In the fullness of Your love
And loose this heart
bound up by shame
And I will never be the same
So here I wait in hope of You
All my soul's longing
through and through
Dayspring from on high be near
And Daystar in my heart appear
Dark and cheerless is the morn
Until Your love in me is born
And joyless is the evening song
Until Emmanuel has come

Communion Song 1 - O Come, O Come Emmanuel

The “O Antiphons” are sung the last seven days before Christmas, from Dec. 17-23, at Evening Prayer. Each day a different antiphon is sung, invoking a different title for the Messiah. Each invocation begins with the word “O,” hence the title “O Antiphons.” Since Dec. 17 occurs on a Sunday this year, it is very timely to sing this on the first day of the “O Antiphons.” Following an instrumental presentation, we will sing verse 1.

O Come, o come, Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That longs in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appear.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to you,
O Israel.

Communion Song 2 - Holy is His Name

Recessional -

Call back the sinner

Let ev'ry nation

Like a bride waiting for her groom
We'll be a Church ready for You

Even so come, Lord Jesus come

Jesus is coming soon

God we wait You're coming soon

Gospel -
John 1:6-8, 19-28

Priest or Deacon: The Lord be with you.
ALL: And with your spirit.

Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to John.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

A man named John was sent from God.
He came for testimony, to testify to the light, so that all might believe through him.
He was not the light, but came to testify to the light.

And this is the testimony of John.
When the Jews from Jerusalem sent priests and Levites to him to ask him, “Who are you?”
He admitted and did not deny it, but admitted, “I am not the Christ.”
So they asked him, “What are you then? Are you Elijah?”
And he said, “I am not.”
“Are you the Prophet?”
He answered, “No.”
So they said to him, “Who are you, so we can give an answer to those who sent us?
“What do you have to say for yourself?”
He said: “I am the voice of one crying out in the desert, ‘make straight the way of the Lord,’” as Isaiah the prophet said.”
Some Pharisees were also sent.
They asked him, “Why then do you baptize if you are not the Christ or Elijah or the Prophet?”
John answered them, “I baptize with water; but there is one among you whom you do not recognize, the one who is coming after me, whose sandal strap I am not worthy to untie.”
This happened in Bethany across the Jordan, where John was baptizing.

The Gospel of the Lord.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

1. To bring glad tidings to the lowly,

Communion Hymn - 415 - My Soul in Stillness Waits

The “O Antiphons” are sung the last seven days before Christmas, from Dec. 17-23, at Evening Prayer. Each day a different antiphon is sung, invoking a different title for the Messiah. Each invocation begins with the word “O,” hence the title “O Antiphons.” Since Dec. 17 occurs on a Sunday this year, it is very timely to sing this modern take on the “O Antiphons” today, Dec. 17, on the first day of the “O Antiphons.”

For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits. Truly my hope is in you.

O Lord of Light, our only hope of glory, your radiance shines in all who look to you.
Come light the hearts of all in dark and shadow.

For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits. Truly my hope is in you.

O Spring of Joy, rain down upon our spirits. Our thirsty hearts are yearning for your Word.
Come, make us whole; be comfort to our hearts.

For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits. Truly my hope is in you.

O Root of Life, implant your seed within us, and in your advent draw us all to you,
Our hope reborn in dying and in rising.

For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits. Truly my hope is in you.

O Key of Knowledge, guide us in our pilgrimage, we ever seek, yet unfulfilled remain.
Open to us the pathway of your peace.

For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits. Truly my hope is in you.

Come, let us bow before the God who made us.
Let every heart be opened to the Lord, for we are all the people of his hand.

For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits. Truly my hope is in you.

Here we shall meet the makers of the heavens, creator of the mountains and the seas,
Lord of the stars and present to us now.

For you, O Lord, my soul in stillness waits. Truly my hope is in you.

Furrows be glad. Though earth is bare,
One more seed is planted there.

That in course the flow’r may flourish.

Birds, though you long
have ceased to build,
Guard the nest that must be filled.
Even the hour when wings are frozen
God for fledging time has chosen.
People, look East and sing today -
Love, the Bird, is on the way.

Stars, keep the watch when night is dim.
One more light the bowl shall bring,
Shining beyond the frosty weather,
Bright as sun and moon together.

Angels announce with shouts of mirth
Him who brings new life to earth.
Set ev’ry peak and valley humming
With the word, the Lord is coming.

Second Sunday of Advent (Sunday 5pm)

Processional Song -
O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O come O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears

Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel
Shall come to thee O Israel

O come Thou Wisdom from on high
Who ordereth all things mightily
to us the path of knowledge show
and teach us in her ways to go.

Rejoice! Rejoice!
Emmanuel shall come to thee,
O Israel.

First Reading -
Isaiah 40:1-5, 9-11

Comfort, give comfort to my people,
says your God.
Speak tenderly to Jerusalem, and proclaim to her that her service is at an end,
her guilt is expiated;
indeed, she has received from the hand of the LORD double for all her sins.

A voice cries out:
In the desert prepare the way of the LORD!
Make straight in the wasteland a highway for our God!
Every valley shall be filled in,
every mountain and hill shall be made low;
the rugged land shall be made a plain,
the rough country, a broad valley.
Then the glory of the LORD shall be revealed, and all people shall see it together;
for the mouth of the LORD has spoken.

Go up on to a high mountain,
Zion, herald of glad tidings;
cry out at the top of your voice,
Jerusalem, herald of good news!
Fear not to cry out
and say to the cities of Judah:
Here is your God!
Here comes with power
the Lord GOD,
who rules by his strong arm;
here is his reward with him,
his recompense before him.
Like a shepherd he feeds his flock;
in his arms he gathers the lambs,
carrying them in his bosom,
and leading the ewes with care.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: THANKS BE TO GOD.

Responsorial Psalm -
Psalm 85

R. Lord, let us see your kindness and grant us your salvation.

Second Reading - 2 Peter 3:8-14

Do not ignore this one fact, beloved,
that with the Lord one day is like a thousand years
and a thousand years like one day.
The Lord does not delay his promise, as some regard “delay,”
but he is patient with you,
not wishing that any should perish
but that all should come to repentance.
But the day of the Lord will come like a thief,
and then the heavens will pass away with a mighty roar
and the elements will be dissolved by fire,
and the earth and everything done on it will be found out.

Since everything is to be dissolved in this way,
what sort of persons ought you to be,
conducting yourselves in holiness and devotion,
waiting for and hastening the coming of the day of God,
because of which the heavens will be dissolved in flames
and the elements melted by fire.
But according to his promise
we await new heavens and a new earth
in which righteousness dwells.
Therefore, beloved, since you await these things,
be eager to be found without spot or blemish before him, at peace.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: THANKS BE TO GOD.

As it is written in Isaiah the prophet:
Behold, I am sending my messenger ahead of you;
he will prepare your way.
A voice of one crying out in the desert:
“Prepare the way of the Lord,
make straight his paths.”
John the Baptist appeared in the desert
proclaiming a baptism of repentance for the forgiveness of sins.
People of the whole Judean countryside
and all the inhabitants of Jerusalem
were going out to him
and were being baptized by him in the Jordan River as they acknowledged their sins.
John was clothed in camel’s hair,
with a leather belt around his waist.
He fed on locusts and wild honey.
And this is what he proclaimed:
“One mightier than I is coming after me.
I am not worthy to stoop and loosen the thongs of his sandals.
I have baptized you with water;
he will baptize you with the Holy Spirit.”

1. Say to the cities of Judah:
Prepare the way of the Lord.
Go to the mountain top, lift your voice; Jerusalem, here is your God.

I will give you rest.

1. Creator of the stars of night,
Your people's everlasting light,
O Christ, Redeemer of us all,
We pray you hear us when we call.

2. In sorrow that the ancient curse
Should doom to death a universe,
You came, O Savior, to set free
Your own in glorious liberty.

3. When this old world
drew on toward night,
You came; but not in splendor bright,
Not as a monarch, but the child
Of Mary, blameless mother mild.

4. At your great Name, O Jesus, now
All knees must bend, all hearts must bow:
All things on earth with one accord,
Like those in heav'n, shall call you Lord.

5. Come in your holy might, we pray,
Redeem us for eternal day;
Defend us while we dwell below
From all assaults of our dread foe.

6. To God the Father, God the Son,
And God the Spirit, Three in One,
Praise, honor, might and glory be
From age to age eternally.

Announces that the Lord is nigh;
Awake and hearken, for he brings
Glad tidings of the King of kings!

Then cleansed be ev’ry life from sin;
Make straight the way for God within;
And let each heart prepare a home
Where such a mighty Guest may come.

For You are our Salvation, Lord,
Our Refuge, and our great Reward.
Without Your grace we waste away,
Like flow’rs that wither and decay.

To heal the sick stretch out Your hand,
And bid the fallen sinner stand;
Shine forth and let Your light restore
Earth's own true loveliness once more.

All praise to You, eternal Son,
Whose advent has our freedom won,
Whom with the Father, we adore,
And Holy Spirit, evermore.

First Reading - Genesis 3:9-15, 20

After the man, Adam, had eaten of the tree, the LORD God called to the man and asked him “Where are you?”
He answered, “I heard you in the garden; but I was afraid, because I was naked, so I hid myself.”
Then he asked, “Who told you that you were naked?
“You have eaten, then, from the tree of which I had forbidden you to eat!”
The man replied, “The woman whom you put here with me she gave me fruit from the tree, and so I ate it.”
The LORD God then asked the woman, “Why did you do such a thing?”
The woman answered, “The serpent tricked me into it, so I ate it.”

Then the LORD God said to the serpent:

“Because you have done this, you shall be banned from all the animals and from all the wild creatures; on your belly shall you crawl, and dirt shall you eat all the days of your life.
I will put enmity between you and the woman, and between your offspring and hers; he will strike at your head, while you strike at his heel.”

The man called his wife Eve, because she became the mother of all the living.

In love he destined us for adoption to himself through Jesus Christ, in accord with the favor of his will, for the praise of the glory of his grace that he granted us in the beloved.

In him we were also chosen, destined in accord with the purpose of the One who accomplishes all things according to the intention of his will, so that we might exist for the praise of his glory, we who first hoped in Christ.

Priest/Deacon: A reading from the Gospel according to John.
ALL: Glory to you, O Lord (while make a small sign of the Cross on the forehead, lips, and chest).

The angel Gabriel was sent from God to a town of Galilee called Nazareth, to a virgin betrothed to a man named Joseph, of the house of David, and the virgin’s name was Mary.
And coming to her, he said, “Hail, full of grace! The Lord is with you.”
But she was greatly troubled at what was said and pondered what sort of greeting this might be.
Then the angel said to her, “Do not be afraid, Mary, for you have found favor with God.
Behold, you will conceive in your womb and bear a son, and you shall name him Jesus.
He will be great and will be called Son of the Most High, and the Lord God will give him the throne of David his father, and he will rule over the house of Jacob forever, and of his Kingdom there will be no end.”
But Mary said to the angel, “How can this be, since I have no relations with a man?”
And the angel said to her in reply, “The Holy Spirit will come upon you, and the power of the Most High will overshadow you.
“Therefore the child to be born will be called holy, the Son of God.
“And behold, Elizabeth, your relative, has also conceived a son in her old age, and this is the called barren; for nothing will be impossible for God.”
Mary said, “Behold, I am the handmaid of the Lord.
“May it be done to me according to your word.
Then the angel departed from her.

ALL: Praise to you, Lord Jesus Christ.

“For know a blessed Mother thou shalt be,
“All generations laud and honor thee,
“Thy Son shall be Emmanuel, by seers foretold,
“Most highly favored lady, Gloria!”

Then gentle Mary meekly bowed her head,
“To me be as it pleaseth God,” she said,
“My soul shall laud and magnify his holy name.”

Sing of Mary, pure and lowly,
Virgin mother undefiled,

Who became her little child.
Fairest child of fairest mother,
God the Lord who came to earth,
Word made flesh, our very brother,
Takes our nature by his birth.

Sing of Jesus, son of Mary,
In the home at Nazareth.
Toil and labor cannot weary
Love enduring unto death.
Constant was the love he gave her,
Though he went forth from her side,
Forth to preach, and heal, and suffer,
Till on Calvary he died.

Glory be to God the Father;
Glory be to God the Son;
Glory be to God the Spirit;
Glory to the Three in One.
From the heart of blessed Mary,
From all saints the song ascends,
And the Church the strain reechoes
Unto earth's remotest ends.

O Come, O Come Emmanuel

O come O come Emmanuel
And ransom captive Israel
That mourns in lonely exile here
Until the Son of God appears

Rejoice rejoice Emmanuel

Disperse the gloomy clouds of night
And death's dark shadow put to flight

First Reading -
Isaiah 63:16b-17, 19b; 64:2-7

You, LORD, are our father,
our redeemer you are named forever.
Why do you let us wander, O LORD, from your ways, and harden our hearts so that we fear you not?
Return for the sake of your servants,
the tribes of your heritage.
Oh, that you would rend the heavens and come down, with the mountains quaking before you, while you wrought awesome deeds we could not hope for,
such as they had not heard of from of old.
No ear has ever heard, no eye ever seen, any God but you doing such deeds for those who wait for him.
Would that you might meet us doing right,
that we were mindful of you in our ways!
Behold, you are angry, and we are sinful;
all of us have become like unclean people,
all our good deeds are like polluted rags;
we have all withered like leaves,
and our guilt carries us away like the wind.
There is none who calls upon your name,
who rouses himself to cling to you;
for you have hidden your face from us
and have delivered us up to our guilt.
Yet, O LORD, you are our father;
we are the clay and you the potter:
we are all the work of your hands.

The Word of the Lord.

ALL: THANKS BE TO GOD.

Watch, therefore;

give ear to me, my nation:

As Jesus continued his journey to Jerusalem, he traveled through Samaria and Galilee.
As he was entering a village, ten persons with leprosy met him.
They stood at a distance from him and raised their voices, saying, “Jesus, Master! Have pity on us!”
And when he saw them, he said, “Go show yourselves to the priests.”
As they were going they were cleansed.
And one of them, realizing he had been healed, returned, glorifying God in a loud voice; and he fell at the feet of Jesus and thanked him.
He was a Samaritan.
Jesus said in reply, “Ten were cleansed, were they not?
Where are the other nine?
Has none but this foreigner returned to give thanks to God?”
Then he said to him, “Stand up and go; your faith has saved you.”

Processional Hymn - Crown Him with Many Crowns

Crown Him with many crowns,
The Lamb upon His throne.
Hark! How the heav’nly anthem drowns
All music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing
Of Him who set us free,
And hail Him as your heav’nly King
Through all eternity.

Crown Him the Lord of life,
Who triumphed o’er the grave,
And rose victorious in the strife
For those He came to save.
His glories now we sing,
Who died, and rose on high,
Who died, eternal life to bring,
And lives that death may die.

Crown Him the Lord of love,
Behold His hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angel in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bends his burning eye
At mysteries so bright.

Crown Him the Lord of peace,
Whose pow’r a scepter sways
From pole to pole, that wars may cease,
Absorbed by prayer and praise.
His reign shall know no end,
And round His pierc-èd feet
Fair flowers of paradise extend
Their fragrance ever sweet.

His dominion is an everlasting dominion that shall not be taken away, his kingship shall not be destroyed.

Pilate said to Jesus, “Are you the King of the Jews?”
Jesus answered, “Do you say this on your own or have others told you about me?”
Pilate answered, “I am not a Jew, am I?
Your own nation and the chief priests handed you over to me.
What have you done?”
Jesus answered, “My kingdom does not belong to this world.
If my kingdom did belong to this world, my attendants would be fighting to keep me from being handed over to the Jews.
But as it is, my kingdom is not here.”
So Pilate said to him, “Then you are a king?”
Jesus answered, “You say I am a king.
For this I was born and for this I came into the world, to testify to the truth.
Everyone who belongs to the truth listens to my voice.”

Sign of grace and mercy, the presence of the Lord.

Christ, the Father’s great “Amen” to all the hopes and dreams of ev’ry heart,
Peace beyond all telling, and freedom from all fear.

See the face of Christ revealed in ev’ry person standing by your side:
Gifts to one another, and temples of your love.

Recessional Hymn - To Jesus Christ, Our Sovereign King

To Jesus Christ, our Sov’reign King,
Who is the world’s salvation,
All praise and homage do we bring,
And thanks and adoration.
Christ Jesus Victor, Christ Jesus Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!

Your reign extend, O King benign,
To ev’ry land and nation,
For in Your kingdom, Lord divine,
Alone we find salvation.
Christ Jesus Victor, Christ Jesus Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!

To You and to Your Church, great King,
We pledge our hearts’ oblation,
Until before Your throne we sing,
In endless jubilation.
Christ Jesus Victor, Christ Jesus Ruler!
Christ Jesus, Lord and Redeemer!
