Blessèd are you, Sovereign God, ruler of the nations,
to you be glory and praise for ever!
From the rising of the sun to its setting
your name is proclaimed in all the world.
As the Sun of Righteousness dawns in our hearts,
anoint our lips with the seal of your Spirit
that we may witness to your gospel
and sing your praise in all the world,
Creator, Redeemer, and Giver of Life:
Blessèd be God for ever!
Amen.
Old Testament Reading - The Servant’s Mission
1Listen to me, all of you in far-off lands: The Lord called me before my birth. From within the womb he called me by my name. 2God will make my words of judgment sharp as swords. He has hidden me in the shadow of his hand; I am like a sharp arrow in his quiver.
3He said to me: “You are my servant, a prince of powera with God, and you shall bring me glory.”
4I replied, “But my work for them seems all in vain; I have spent my strength for them without response. Yet I leave it all with God for my reward.”
5“And now,” said the Lord — the Lord who formed me from my mother’s womb to serve him who commissioned me to restore to him his people Israel, who has given me the strength to perform this task and honored me for doing it!— 6“you shall do more than restore Israel to me. I will make you a Light to the nations of the world to bring my salvation to them too.”
. . . . .Isaiah 49:1-6- a prince of power, or “Israel.”
O worship the Lord in the beauty of holiness,
Let the whole earth stand in awe of God.
