NOTE ON THE MUSIC: Today’s prelude, Come, come, ye saints, is based on the hymn that would become the Mormon anthem, as set to the melody of the English folk song All is Well. The people crossing the Mormon trail would sing it as a marching song. It continues to be one of the favorite pieces of the Mormon Tabernacle Choir. Over one hundred fifty years have passed since Come, Come Ye Saints was written, and it shows no signs of losing its popularity. ­ from The Hymnal 1982 Companion -2- Order of Service PRELUDE Come, come, ye saints Grant Johannesen

READING Daniel 7:1­3, 15­18

In the first year of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head as he lay in bed. Then he wrote down the dream: I, Daniel, saw in my vision by night the four winds of heaven stirring up the great sea, and four great beasts came up out of the sea, different from one another.

As for me, Daniel, my spirit was troubled within me, and the visions of my head terrified me. I approached one of the attendants to ask him the truth concerning all this. So he said that he would disclose to me the interpretation of the matter: "As for these four great beasts, four kings shall arise out of the earth. But the holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom for ever—for ever and ever." -3- Reader: The Word of the Lord. People: Thanks be to God.

GRADUAL ANTHEM And I will praise him Michael Jothen And I will praise him with the cymbal, I will praise him with the tambourine! I will praise him on this day and I will praise him for evermore! I will praise him for the earth so green, I will praise him for the stars unseen, I will praise him for his endless love, I will sing to the Lord! And I will praise him.

And I will praise him with the cymbal, I will praise him with the tambourine! I will praise him on this day and I will praise him for evermore! For mountains high and seas that roll I will praise him everywhere I go. His mighty name I will sing to the Lord!

And I will praise him with the cymbal. I will praise him with the tambourine! I will praise him on this day and I will praise him for evermore! ­ Michael Jothen

PSALM 149 the psalm is recited 1 Hallelujah! Sing to the LORD a new song; * sing his praise in the congregation of the faithful. 2 Let Israel rejoice in his Maker; * let the children of Zion be joyful in their King. 3 Let them praise his Name in the dance; * let them sing praise to him with timbrel and harp. 4 For the LORD takes pleasure in his people * and adorns the poor with victory. 5 Let the faithful rejoice in triumph; * let them be joyful on their beds. 6 Let the praises of God be in their throat * and a two­edged sword in their hand; 7 To wreak vengeance on the nations * and punishment on the peoples; -4- 8 To bind their kings in chains * and their nobles with links of iron; 9 To inflict on them the judgment decreed; * this is glory for all his faithful people. Hallelujah!

HYMN 293 I sing a song of the saints of God Grand Isle Gospeller: The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Luke. People: Glory to you, Lord Christ.

GOSPEL Luke 6:20­31

Jesus looked up at his disciples and said:

"Blessed are you who are poor, for yours is the kingdom of God. "Blessed are you who are hungry now, for you will be filled. "Blessed are you who weep now, for you will laugh. "Blessed are you when people hate you, and when they exclude you, revile you, and defame you on account of the Son of Man. Rejoice in that day and leap for joy, for surely your reward is great in heaven; for that is what their ancestors did to the prophets. "But woe to you who are rich, for you have received your consolation. "Woe to you who are full now, for you will be hungry. "Woe to you who are laughing now, for you will mourn and weep. "Woe to you when all speak well of you, for that is what their ancestors did to the false prophets

"But I say to you that listen, Love your enemies, do good to those who hate you, bless those who curse you, pray for those who abuse you. If anyone strikes you on the cheek, offer the other also; and from anyone who takes away your coat do not withhold even your shirt. Give to everyone who begs from you; and if anyone takes away your goods, do not ask for them again. Do to others as you would have them do to you."
