Processional Hymn O God Beyond All Praising (Holst/Perry/Kirkpatrick) All

3. O God of all creation, whose glory fills the sky. We gather in your presence, our spirits lifted high, To bring for humble service, those who answer to your call, That they may follow Christ, the example for us all, Protect them and guide them, their faith in you be strong, As now they journey onward, we sing the ancient song:

4. “You are a priest for ever,” within God’s church on earth, “In the order of Melchisedek,” a priest before your birth, Called out to be our pastor, the flock of Christ to serve; From the humble to the haughty, the Word of God make heard, To celebrate the sacraments, in fitting praise proclaim, In love of Holy Trinity, give honor to God’s name.

5. The flow’r of earthly splendor in them must surely die, Its fragile bloom surrender to you, the Lord most high; But hidden from all nature the eternal seed is sown Though small in mortal stature, to heaven’s garden grown: For Christ the man from heaven from death has set us free. And we through him are given the final victory.

Después de esto, el Señor escogió también a Cuando entren en una casa, saluden primero, otros setenta y dos, y los mandó de dos en dos diciendo: ‘Paz a esta casa.’ Y si allí hay gente de delante de él, a todos los pueblos y lugares a paz, su deseo de paz se cumplirá; pero si no, no donde tenía que ir se cumplirá

Les dijo: “Ciertamente la cosecha es mucha, pero Quédense en la misma casa y coman y beban los trabajadores son pocos de lo que ellos tengan, pues el trabajador tiene derecho a su paga Por eso, pidan ustedes al Dueño de la cosecha que mande trabajadores a recogerla No anden de casa en casa

Vayan ustedes; miren que los envío como corde- Al llegar a un pueblo donde los reciban, coman ros en medio de lobos lo que les sirvan, sanen a los enfermos que haya allí, y díganles: ‘El reino de Dios ya esta cerca No lleven bolsa ni monedero ni sandalias; y no de ustedes’.” se detengan a saludar a nadie en el camino Gospel Luke 10:1-9 Deacon Smith
