Collect of the Day BCP p. 245
First Reading Isaiah 25:6-9
All sit.
On this mountain the LORD of hosts will make for all peoples
a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines,
of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines
strained clear.
And he will destroy on this mountain
the shroud that is cast over all peoples,
the sheet that is spread over all nations;
he will swallow up death forever.
Then the Lord GOD will wipe away the tears from all faces,
and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all
the earth,
for the LORD has spoken.
It will be said on that day,
Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he
might save us.
This is the LORD for whom we have waited;
let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.
Remain seated.
Second Reading Revelation 21:1-6a
I saw a new heaven and a new earth; for the first heaven and
the first earth had passed away, and the sea was no more. And
I saw the holy city, the new Jerusalem, coming down out of
6
heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband.
And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying,
"See, the home of God is among mortals.
He will dwell with them as their God;
they will be his peoples,
and God himself will be with them;
he will wipe every tear from their eyes.
Death will be no more;
mourning and crying and pain will be no more,
for the first things have passed away."
And the one who was seated on the throne said, "See, I am
making all things new." Also he said, "Write this, for these
words are trustworthy and true." Then he said to me, "It is
done! I am the Alpha and the Omega, the beginning and the
end."

Holy Gospel John 11:32-44
When Mary came where Jesus was and saw him, she knelt at
his feet and said to him, "Lord, if you had been here, my
brother would not have died." When Jesus saw her weeping,
and the Jews who came with her also weeping, he was greatly
disturbed in spirit and deeply moved. He said, "Where have
you laid him?" They said to him, "Lord, come and see." Jesus
began to weep. So the Jews said, "See how he loved him!" But
8
some of them said, "Could not he who opened the eyes of the
blind man have kept this man from dying?"
Then Jesus, again greatly disturbed, came to the tomb. It was a
cave, and a stone was lying against it. Jesus said, "Take away
the stone." Martha, the sister of the dead man, said to him,
"Lord, already there is a stench because he has been dead four
days." Jesus said to her, "Did I not tell you that if you believed,
you would see the glory of God?" So they took away the stone.
And Jesus looked upward and said, "Father, I thank you for
having heard me. I knew that you always hear me, but I have
said this for the sake of the crowd standing here, so that they
may believe that you sent me." When he had said this, he cried
with a loud voice, "Lazarus, come out!" The dead man came
out, his hands and feet bound with strips of cloth, and his face
wrapped in a cloth. Jesus said to them, "Unbind him, and let
him go."

Watch over your child, O Lord, as her days increase; bless and

Communion Songs It is Well
Verse 1
Grander earth has quaked before
Moved by the sound of His voice
Seas that are shaken and stirred
Can be calmed and broken for my regard
Chorus
Through it all through it all
My eyes are on You
Through it all through it all
10
It is well
Through it all through it all
My eyes are on You
It is well with me
Verse 2
Far be it from me to not believe
Even when my eyes can't see
And this mountain that's in front of me
Will be thrown into the midst of the sea
Bridge
So let go my soul and trust in Him
The waves and wind still know His name
Ending
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well with my soul
It is well it is well with my soul

Postcommunion Prayer
Lord God, we thank you for giving us our daily bread. Through the
power of your Holy Spirit, give us grateful hearts so that we may
live generous lives. Strengthen us so that we may choose to love
one another with your honor and respect. Encourage us so that we
may always offer you the best of what we have. All this we ask
through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.
