2 Opening Hymn: 505 Be Thou My Vision Collect for Purity page 67 Summary of the Law page 69 Kyrie page 70 Collect of the Day Almighty God, whose Son was revealed in majesty before he suffered death upon the cross, give us faith to perceive his glory, that being strengthened by his grace we may be changed into his likeness, from glory to glory; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and for ever. Amen First Reading: GENESIS 15:1-12, A READING FROM THE BOOK OF GENESIS After these things the word of the Lord came to Abram in a vision, Do not be afraid, Abram, I am your shield; your reward shall be very great. But Abram said, O Lord God, what will you give me, for I continue childless, and the heir of my house is Eliezer of Damascus? And Abram said, You have given me no offspring, and so a slave born in my house is to be my heir. But the word of the Lord came to him, This man shall not be your heir; no one but your very own issue shall be your heir. He brought him outside and said, Look toward heaven and count the stars, if you are able to count them. Then he said to him, So shall your descendants be. And he believed the Lord; and the Lord reckoned it to him as righteousness. Then he said to him, I am the Lord who brought you from Ur of the Chaldeans, to give you this land to possess. But he said, O Lord God, how am I to know that I shall possess it? He said to him, Bring me a heifer three years old, a female goat three years old, a ram three years old, a turtledove, and a young pigeon. He brought him all these and cut them in two, laying each half over against the other; but he did not cut the birds in two. And when birds of prey came down on the carcasses, Abram drove them away. As the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram, and a deep and terrifying darkness

3 descended upon him. When the sun had gone down and it was dark, a smoking fire pot and a flaming torch passed between these pieces. On that day the Lord made a covenant with Abram, saying, To your descendants I give this land, from the river of Egypt to the great river, the river Euphrates. Reader: The Word of the Lord All: Thanks be to God Psalm: 27 page The Lord is my light and my salvation; whom then shall I fear? The Lord is the strength of my life; of whom then shall I be afraid? 2. When the wicked came upon me to eat up my flesh, even mine enemies and my foes, they stumbled and fell. 3. Though an host of men were laid against me, yet shall not my heart be afraid; and though there rose up war against me, yet will I put my trust in him. 4. One thing have I desired of the Lord, which I will require; even that I may dwell in the house of the Lord all the days of my life, to behold the fair beauty of the Lord, and to visit his temple. 5. For in the time of trouble he shall hide me in his tabernacle; yea, in the secret place of his dwelling shall he hide me, and set me up upon a rock of stone. 6. And now shall my head be lifted up above mine enemies round about me. 7. Therefore will I offer in his dwelling an oblation with great gladness: I will sing, and speak praises unto the Lord. 8. Hearken unto my voice, O Lord, when I cry unto thee; have mercy upon me and hear me. 9. My heart hath talked with thee: Seek ye my face ; Thy face, Lord will I seek. 10. O hide not thy face from me, nor cast thy servant away in displeasure. 11. Thou hast been my succour; leave me not, neither forsake me, O God of my salvation. 12. When my father and my mother forsake me, the Lord taketh me up. 13. Teach me thy way, O Lord, and lead me in the right way, because of mine enemies.

4 14. Deliver me not over into the will of mine adversaries; for there are false witnesses risen up against me, and such as speak wrong. 15. I believe that I shall see the goodness of the Lord in the land of the living. 16. O tarry thou the Lord s leisure; be strong, and let thy heart take courage, and wait upon the Lord. Glory be to the Father and the Son and the Holy Ghost All: As it was in the beginning, is now and ever shall be; world without end. Amen Second Reading: PHILIPPIANS 3:17-4:1 (Bill Dunlop) A READING FROM THE LETTER OF PAUL TO THE PHILIPPIANS Brothers and sisters, join in imitating me, and observe those who live according to the example you have in us. For many live as enemies of the cross of Christ; I have often told you of them, and now I tell you even with tears. Their end is destruction; their god is the belly; and their glory is in their shame; their minds are set on earthly things. But our citizenship is in heaven, and it is from there that we are expecting a Saviour, the Lord Jesus Christ. He will transform the body of our humiliation that it may be conformed to the body of his glory, by the power that also enables him to make all things subject to himself. Therefore, my brothers and sisters, whom I love and long for, my joy and crown, stand firm in the Lord in this way, my beloved. Reader: The Word of the Lord All: Thanks be to God Gospel: LUKE 13: Priest: The Holy Gospel of Our Lord Jesus Christ According to Luke Chapter 13 beginning to read at the 31 st verse. All: Glory be to Thee, O Lord At that very hour some Pharisees came and said to Jesus, Get away from here, for Herod wants to kill you. He said to them, Go

5 and tell that fox for me, Listen, I am casting out demons and performing cures today and tomorrow, and on the third day I finish my work. Yet today, tomorrow, and the next day I must be on my way, because it is impossible for a prophet to be killed outside of Jerusalem. Jerusalem, Jerusalem, the city that kills the prophets and stones those who are sent to it! How often have I desired to gather your children together as a hen gathers her brood under her wings, and you were not willing! See, your house is left to you. And I tell you, you will not see me until the time comes when you say, Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord. Priest: The Gospel of Christ All: Praise be to Thee, O Christ Hymn: Teach Me God To Wonder Verse 1 Teach me God to wonder Teach me God to see Let Your world of beauty Capture me Chorus Praise to You be given Love for You believed Life be celebrated Joy You give Verse 2 Let me God be open Let me loving be Let Your world of people Speak to me (Chorus) Verse 3 Let me God be ready Let me be awake In Your world of loving My place take (Chorus) CCLI Song # Ron Klusmeier Walter Farquharson CCLI License #
