Cleasnsing of the Temple, Raymond Balze
Know the time, that the hour has come
for you to wake from sleep!
For salvation is nearer to us now
than when we first believed.
The night is far gone; the day is at hand…
Put on the Lord Jesus Christ!
Romans 13

The Second Sunday in Advent
Prayer after Communion:
We begin…
All
Let everything be said and done
in the name of the Lord Jesus,
giving thanks to God through Jesus Christ.
Sing psalms, hymns and sacred songs:
let us sing to God with thankful hearts.
Opening Song: Come
cf Colossians 3.16,17
now is the time to worship
Come now is the time to
worship
Come now is the time to give
your heart
Come just as you are to
worship
Come just as you are before
your God
Come
Willingly we choose to surrender our
lives
Willingly our knees will bow
With all our heart soul mind and
strength
We gladly choose You now
One day every tongue
Will confess You are God
One day every knee will bow
Still the greatest treasure remains
For those who gladly choose You
now
After the opening song we return to the liturgy booklets, bottom of page 1.
The Collect: Blessed Lord, who has caused all holy Scriptures to be written for our
learning: Grant that we may in such a way hear, read, mark, learn, and inwardly digest
them, that by patience, and comfort of your holy Word, we may embrace, and ever hold
fast the blessed hope of everlasting life, which you have given us in our Saviour Jesus
Christ.Amen.
Father of all, we give you thanks and praise,
that when we were still far off
you met us in your Son and brought us home.
Dying and living, he declared your love,
gave us grace, and opened the gate of glory.
May we who share Christ’s body live his risen life;
we who drink his cup bring life to others;
we whom the Spirit lights give light to the world.
Keep us firm in the hope you have set before us,
so we and all your children shall be free,
and the whole earth live to praise your name;
through Christ our Lord. Amen.
The priest then pronounces the Blessing.
After Birthdays and notices we stand to sing the final song
Final Song:
Days of Elijah
These are the days of Elijah
Declaring the Word of the Lord
And these are the days
Of Your servant Moses
Righteousness being restored
And though these are days
Of great trials
Of famine and darkness and sword
Still we are the voice
In the desert crying
Prepare ye the way of the Lord
Behold He comes
Riding on the clouds
Shining like the sun
At the trumpet call
So lift your voice
It's the year of Jubilee
And out of Zion's hill
Salvation comes
And these are the days of Ezekiel
The dry bones becoming as flesh
And these are the days
Of Your servant David
Rebuilding a temple of praise
And these are the days of the harvest
The fields are as white in the world
And we are the labourers
In Your vineyard
Declaring the Word of the Lord
There is no god like Jehovah
There is no god like Jehovah
There is no god like Jehovah
There is no god like Jehovah

Communion Songs:
Hear us from heaven
Open the blind eyes
Lord hear our cry
Unlock the deaf ears
Come heal our land
Come to Your people
Breathe life into these dry and thirsty
As we draw near
souls
Hear us from heaven
Lord hear our prayer
Touch our generation
Forgive our sin
We are Your people
And as we call on Your name
Crying out in desperation
Would You make this a place for Your
glory to dwell
Lord hear our cry
Your children worship
As we sing out Your praise
Would You make this a place
For Your glory to dwell
Healing rain
Healing rain is falling down
Healing rain is falling down
I'm not afraid I'm not afraid
Majesty
Now I've found the greatest love of all is
mine
Since You laid down Your life
Majesty majesty
Your grace has found me just as I am
Empty-handed but alive in Your
hands
Majesty majesty
Forever I am changed by Your love
In the presence of Your majesty
majesty
Post Communion Song: Draw me close to you
Draw me close to you
Draw me close to You never let me go
I lay it all down again
To hear You say that I'm Your friend
You are my desire no one else will do
'Cause nothing else could take Your
place
To feel the warmth of Your embrace
Help me find the way bring me back to
You
-2New Testament Lesson: Romans 15:4-13
Whatever was written in former days was written for our instruction, that through
endurance and through the encouragement of the Scriptures we might have hope. May the
God of endurance and encouragement grant you to live in such harmony with one another,
in accord with Christ Jesus, that together you may with one voice glorify the God and
Father of our Lord Jesus Christ. Therefore welcome one another as Christ has welcomed
you, for the glory of God. For I tell you that Christ became a servant to the circumcised to
show God's truthfulness, in order to confirm the promises given to the patriarchs, and in
order that the Gentiles might glorify God for his mercy. As it is written, “Therefore I will
praise you among the Gentiles, and sing to your name.” And again it is said, “Rejoice, O
Gentiles, with his people.” And again, “Praise the Lord, all you Gentiles, and let all the
peoples extol him.”And again Isaiah says, “The root of Jesse will come, even he who arises
to rule the Gentiles; in him will the Gentiles hope.” May the God of hope fill you with all
joy and peace in believing, so that by the power of the Holy Spirit you may abound in hope.
This is the word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Gradual Song: Holy is the Lord
We stand and lift up our hands
For the joy of the Lord is our
strength
We bow down and worship Him
now
How great how awesome is He
And together we sing
Ev'ryone sing
You're all I want
You're all I've ever needed
You're all I want
Help me know You are near
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
Holy is the Lord God Almighty
The earth is filled with His glory
The earth is filled with His glory
It is rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown
It's rising up all around
It's the anthem of the Lord's renown

The Gospel:
St. Luke 21:25-33
Before the Gospel we sing: Glory to you, O Lord
The Creed (sung to the tune: Ode to Joy)
“And there will be signs in sun and moon and stars, and on the earth distress of nations in
perplexity because of the roaring of the sea and the waves, people fainting with fear and
with foreboding of what is coming on the world. For the powers of the heavens will be
shaken. And then they will see the Son of Man coming in a cloud with power and great
glory. Now when these things begin to take place, straighten up and raise your heads,
because your redemption is drawing near.”
And he told them a parable: “Look at the fig tree, and all the trees. As soon as they come
out in leaf, you see for yourselves and know that the summer is already near. So also,
when you see these things taking place, you know that the kingdom of God is near. Truly, I
say to you, this generation will not pass away until all has taken place. Heaven and earth
will pass away, but my words will not pass away.
We believe in God the Father,
We believe in Jesus risen,
God Almighty, by whose plan
heaven's king to rule and reign,
earth and heaven sprang to being,
to the Father's side ascended
all created things began.
till as judge he comes again.
After the Gospel we sing: Praise to you, O Christ
Song: Hosanna
I see the King of glory
Coming on the clouds with fire
The whole earth shakes
The whole earth shakes yeah
I see His love and mercy
Washing over all our sin
The people sing
The people sing
Hosanna hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Hosanna hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
I see a generation
Rising up to take their place
With selfless faith
With selfless faith
I see a near revival
Stirring as we pray and seek
We're on our knees
We're on our knees
Heal my heart and make it clean
Open up my eyes to the things unseen
Show me how to love like You have loved me
Break my heart for what breaks Yours
Everything I am for Your Kingdom's cause
As I walk from earth into eternity
We believe in Christ the Savior,
Son of God in human frame,
We believe in God the Spirit;
virgin-born, the child of Mary
in one church, below, above;
upon whom the Spirit came.
saints of God in one communion,
one in holiness and love.
Christ, who on the cross forsaken,
So by faith, our sins forgiven,
like a lamb to slaughter led,
Christ our Savior, Lord and Friend,
suffered under Pontius Pilate,
we shall rise with him in glory
he descended to the dead.
to the life that knows no end.
