Proclamation Prayer for Illumination (in unison) Gracious God, you call us to fullness of life: deliver us from unbelief and send your Spirit now to illuminate your holy word; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Old Testament Lessons Isaiah 5:1 7 and Isaiah 43:1 4a (read in Japanese, French, and Korean) Let me sing for my beloved my love-song concerning his vineyard: My beloved had a vineyard on a very fertile hill. He dug it and cleared it of stones, and planted it with choice vines; he built a watch-tower in the midst of it, and hewed out a wine vat in it; he expected it to yield grapes, but it yielded wild grapes. And now, inhabitants of Jerusalem and people of Judah, judge between me and my vineyard. What more was there to do for my vineyard that I have not done in it? When I expected it to yield grapes, why did it yield wild grapes? And now I will tell you what I will do to my vineyard. I will remove its hedge, and it shall be devoured; I will break down its wall, and it shall be trampled down. I will make it a waste; it shall not be pruned or hoed, and it shall be overgrown with briers and thorns; I will also command the clouds that they rain no rain upon it. For the vineyard of the Lord of hosts is the house of Israel, and the people of Judah are his pleasant planting; he expected justice, but saw bloodshed; righteousness, but heard a cry!... But now thus says the Lord, he who created you, O Jacob, he who formed you, O Israel: Do not fear, for I have redeemed you; I have called you by name, you are mine. When you pass through the waters, I will be with you; and through the rivers, they shall not overwhelm you; when you walk through fire you shall not be burned, and the flame shall not consume you. For I am the Lord your God, the Holy One of Israel, your Savior. I give Egypt as your ransom, Ethiopia and Seba in exchange for you. Because you are precious in my sight, and honoured, and I love you, I give people in return for you, nations in exchange for your life. Lector: This is the word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

4 Anthem Come to the Water John Foley (b. 1939) arr. Howard Helvey O let all who thirst, let them come to the water. And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord: without money, without price. Why should you pay the price, except for the Lord? And let all who seek, let them come to the water. And let all who have nothing, let them come to the Lord: without money, without strife. Why should you spend your life, except for the Lord? And let all who toil, let them come to the water. And let all who are weary, let them come to the Lord: all who labor, without rest. How can your soul find rest, except for the Lord? And let all the poor, let them come to the water. Bring the ones who are laden, bring them all to the Lord: bring the children without might. Easy the load and light: come to the Lord. *Gradual Hymn 548 (Stanzas 1 2) In Christ There Is No East or West (All turn to face the Gospel Procession.) *Gospel Lesson Matthew 21:33 46 (NT page 22 3) Lector: This is the word of the Lord.

The heavens are not too high, his praise may thither fly: The earth is not too low, his praises there may grow. The Church with Psalms must shout, no door can keep them out: But above all, the heart must bear the longest part. *Doxology George Herbert ( ) lasst uns erfreuen Praise God from whom all blessings flow; Praise God, all creatures here below; Alleluia, Alleluia!
