THE LITURGY OF THE WORD
THE FIRST LESSON
Jeremiah 31:7-14
Thus says the LORD:
Sing aloud with gladness for Jacob, and raise shouts for the
chief of the nations;
proclaim, give praise, and say, "Save, O LORD, your people, the
remnant of Israel."
See, I am going to bring them from the land of the north, and
gather them from the farthest parts of the earth,
among them the blind and the lame, those with child and those in
labor, together; a great company, they shall return here.
With weeping they shall come, and with consolations I will lead
them back,
I will let them walk by brooks of water, in a straight path in
which they shall not stumble;
for I have become a father to Israel, and Ephraim is my
firstborn.
Hear the word of the LORD, O nations, and declare it in the
coastlands far away;
say, "He who scattered Israel will gather him, and will keep him
as a shepherd a flock."
For the LORD has ransomed Jacob, and has redeemed him from hands
too strong for him.
They shall come and sing aloud on the height of Zion, and they
shall be radiant over the goodness of the LORD,
over the grain, the wine, and the oil, and over the young of the
flock and the herd;
their life shall become like a watered garden, and they shall
never languish again.
Then shall the young women rejoice in the dance, and the young
men and the old shall be merry.

I will turn their mourning into joy, I will comfort them, and
give them gladness for sorrow.
I will give the priests their fill of fatness, and my people
shall be satisfied with my bounty,
says the LORD.
Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.
Psalm 84 or 84:1-8 Quam dilecta!
1
How dear to me is your dwelling, O LORD of hosts! * My soul has
a desire and longing for the courts of the LORD; my heart and my
flesh rejoice in the living God.
2
The sparrow has found her a house and the swallow a nest where
she may lay her young; * by the side of your altars, O LORD of
hosts, my King and my God.
3
Happy are they who dwell in your house! * they will always be
praising you.
4
Happy are the people whose strength is in you! * whose hearts
are set on the pilgrims' way.
5
Those who go through the desolate valley will find it a place of
springs, * for the early rains have covered it with pools of
water.
6
They will climb from height to height, * and the God of gods
will reveal himself in Zion.
7
LORD God of hosts, hear my prayer; * hearken, O God of
Jacob.

8
Behold our defender, O God; * and look upon the face of your
Anointed.
[9
For one day in your courts is better than a thousand in my own
room, * and to stand at the threshold of the house of my God than
to dwell in the tents of the wicked.
10
For the LORD God is both sun and shield; * he will give grace
and glory;
11
No good thing will the LORD withhold * from those who walk with
integrity.
12
O LORD of hosts, * happy are they who put their trust in
you!]
THE EPISTLE Ephesians 1:3-6,15-19a
Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who has
blessed us in Christ with every spiritual blessing in the heavenly
places, just as he chose us in Christ before the foundation of the
world to be holy and blameless before him in love. He destined us
for adoption as his children through Jesus Christ, according to the
good pleasure of his will, to the praise of his glorious grace that
he freely bestowed on us in the Beloved.
I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love
toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give
thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God
of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a
spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that,
with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the
hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his
glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable
greatness of his power for us
who believe.
Reader The Word of the Lord. People Thanks be to God.

SEQUENCE HYMN: Away in a manger, no crib for a bed LEVAS 27 1
Away in a manger, no crib for a bed, 2 The cattle are lowing the
Baby awakes, The little Lord Jesus laid down His sweet head. But
little Lord Jesus, no crying He makes, The stars in the sky looked
down where He lay, I love thee, Lord Jesus! Look down from The
little Lord Jesus asleep on the hay. the sky, And stay by my cradle
till
morning is nigh. 3 Be near me, Lord Jesus, I ask thee to stay
Close by me forever, and love me, I pray. Bless all the dear
children in thy tender care, And fit us for heaven to heaven to
live with thee there.
THE HOLY GOSPEL Matthew 2:13-15,19-23
Gospeller The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to
Matthew. People Glory to you, Lord Christ.
After the wise men had left, an angel of the Lord appeared to
Joseph in a dream and said, "Get up, take the child and his mother,
and flee to Egypt, and remain there until I tell you; for Herod is
about to search for the child, to destroy him." Then Joseph got up,
took the child and his mother by night, and went to Egypt, and
remained there until the death of Herod. This was to fulfill what
had been spoken by the Lord through the prophet, "Out of Egypt I
have called my son."
When Herod died, an angel of the Lord suddenly appeared in a
dream to Joseph in Egypt and said, "Get up, take the child and his
mother, and go to the land of Israel, for those who were seeking
the child's life are dead." Then Joseph got up, took the child and
his mother, and went to the land of Israel. But when he heard that
Archelaus was ruling over Judea in place of his father Herod, he
was afraid to go there. And after being warned in a dream, he went
away to the district of Galilee. There he made his home in a town
called Nazareth, so that what had been spoken through the prophets
might be fulfilled, "He will be called a Nazorean."
Gospeller The Gospel of the Lord. People Praise to you, Lord
Christ.

THE NICENE CREED BCP 358
We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven
and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen.
We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God,
eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light,
true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the
Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our
salvation he came down from heaven: by the power of the Holy Spirit
he became incarnate from the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our
sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and
was buried. On the third day he rose again 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.
We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who
proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son
he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the Prophets.
We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We
acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for
the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.
Amen.
THE PRAYERS OF THE PEOPLE FORM III BCP 387 Deacon or other
leader
The Leader and People pray responsively Father, we pray for your
holy Catholic Church; That we all may be one. Grant that every
member of the Church may truly and humbly serve you; That your Name
may be glorified by all people. We pray for all bishops, priests,
and deacons; That they may be faithful ministers of your Word and
Sacraments. We pray for all who govern and hold authority in the
nations of the world; That there may be justice and peace on the
earth. Give us grace to do your will in all that we undertake; That
our works may find favor in your sight. Have compassion on those
who suffer from any grief or trouble; That they may be delivered
from their distress. Give to the departed eternal rest; Let light
perpetual shine upon them.

Confession of Sin BCP 360 The Officiant says to the people Most
merciful God, we confess that we have sinned against you in
thought, word, and deed, by what we have done, and by what we have
left undone. We have not loved you with our whole heart; we have
not loved our neighbors as ourselves. We are truly sorry and we
humbly repent. For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on
us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in
your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

soul, and drives away his fear. and to the weary, rest. 3 Dear

those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but

THE COMMUNION OF THE PEOPLE
All baptized Christians are welcome to receive Holy Communion.
We believe in the Real Presence of Christ in the Eucharist. You may
either stand or kneel when receiving communion. Children may
receive the Bread and Wine according to the discretion of the
parents. Cross your arms over your breast to receive a blessing if
you do not wish to receive either Bread or Wine. Because communion
is complete in either form, reception of either bread or wine alone
constitutes a full communion. If you need to receive Holy Communion
in your pew, please notify one of the ushers.
COMMUNION HYMN: Once in royal David's city HYMN 102 1. Once in
royal David's city 2. He came down to earth from heaven, stood a
lowly cattle shed, who is God and Lord of all, where a mother laid
her baby and his shelter was a stable, in a manger for his bed: and
his cradle was a stall; Mary was that mother mild, with the poor,
the scorned, the lowly Jesus Christ her little child. lived on
earth our Savior holy. 3 And thro' all his wondrous childhood 6.
Not in that poor lowly stable, he would honor and obey, with the
oxen standing round, love and watch the lowly maiden we shall see
him; but in heaven, in whose gentle arms he lay: where his saints
his throne surround: Christian children all must be Christ,
revealed to faithful eye, mild, obedient, good as he. set a God's
right hand on high.

At the end of Communion, all stand and join the Celebrant in
saying
Post Communion Prayer BCP 366 Almighty and everliving God, we
thank you for feeding us with the spiritual food of the most
precious Body and Blood of your Son our Savior Jesus Christ; and
for assuring us in these holy mysteries that we are living members
of the Body of your Son, and heirs of your eternal kingdom. And
now, Father, send us out to do the work you have given us to do, to
love and serve you as faithful witnesses of Christ our Lord. To
him, to you, and to the Holy Spirit, be honor and glory, now and
forever. Amen.
A Prayer Attributed To St. Francis BCP 833 Lord, make us
instruments of your peace. Where there is hatred, let us sow love;
where there is injury, pardon; where there is discord, union; where
there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is
darkness, light; where there is sadness, joy. Grant that we may not
so much seek to be consoled as to console; to be understood as to
understand; to be loved as to love. For it is in giving that we
receive; it is in pardoning that we are pardoned; and it is dying
that we are
born to eternal life. Amen.
THE BLESSING Go In Peace Go in peace and the peace of God be
with you this day. Go in peace and the peace of God be with you
always. Celebrate and share the joy! Celebrate new life! Go in
peace and the peace of God be with you always.
