O be joyful in the Lord, all ye lands;

serve the Lord with gladness and come before his presence with a song.

Be ye sure that the Lord is God; it is he that hath made us and not we ourselves; we are his people and the sheep of his pasture. O go your way into his gates with thanksgiving

THE FIRST LESSON Ezekiel 34:11-16, 20-24

Thus says the LORD God: I myself will search for my sheep, and will seek them out. As shepherds seek out their flocks when they are among their scattered sheep, so I will seek out my sheep. I will rescue them from all the places to which they have been scattered on a day of clouds and thick darkness. I will bring them out from the peoples and gather them from the countries, and will bring them into their own land; and I will feed them on the mountains of Israel, by the watercourses, and in all the inhabited parts of the land. I will feed them with good pasture, and the mountain heights of Israel shall be their pasture; there they shall lie down in good grazing land, and they shall feed on rich pasture on the mountains of Israel. I myself will be the shepherd of my sheep, and I will make them lie down, says the LORD God. I will seek the lost, and I will bring back the strayed, and I will bind up the injured, and I will strengthen the weak, but the fat and the strong I will destroy. I will feed them with justice. Therefore, thus says the LORD God to them: I myself will judge between the fat sheep and the lean sheep. Because you pushed with flank and shoulder, and butted at all the weak animals with your horns until you scattered them far and wide, I will save my flock, and they shall no longer be ravaged; and I will judge between sheep and sheep. I will set up over them one shepherd, my servant David, and he shall feed them: he shall feed them and be their shepherd. And I, the LORD, will be their God, and my servant David shall be prince among them; I, the LORD, have spoken. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

THE PSALM Psalm 47 “Clapping Music,” Steve Reich (b.1936) Performed by Christ Church, Winnetka

1 Clap your hands, all you peoples

shout to God with loud songs of joy. 2 For the LORD, the Most High, is awesome, a great king over all the earth. 3 God subdued peoples under us, and nations under our feet. 4 God chose our heritage for us, the pride of Jacob whom he loves. 5 God has gone up with a shout, the LORD with the sound of a trumpet. 6 Sing praises to God, sing praises; sing praises to our King, sing praises. 7 For God is the ruler of all the earth; sing praises with a psalm. 8 God is king over the nations; God sits on his holy throne. 9 The princes of the peoples gather as the people of the God of Abraham. 10 For the shields of the earth belong to God; he is highly exalted.

1 Aplaudan, pueblos todos; aclamen a Dios con voz de júbilo; 2 Porque el Señor Altísimo es temible, Rey grande sobre toda la tierra. 3 Somete a los pueblos a nuestro dominio, y sujeta a las naciones bajo nuestros pies. 4 Nos elige nuestra heredad, el deleite de Jacob, a quien ama. 5 Ascendió Dios entre gritos de júbilo, el Señor con sonido de trompeta. 6 Canten alabanzas a Dios, canten; canten alabanzas a nuestro Rey, canten; 7 Porque Dios es Rey de toda la tierra; canten alabanzas con esmero. 8 Dios reina sobre las naciones; se sienta sobre su santo trono. 9 Los nobles de los pueblos se han unido al pueblo del Dios de Abrahán. 10 Los soberanos de la tierra pertenecen a Dios, y él es excelso.

THE SECOND LESSON Ephesians 1:15-23

I have heard of your faith in the Lord Jesus and your love toward all the saints, and for this reason I do not cease to give thanks for you as I remember you in my prayers. I pray that the God of our Lord Jesus Christ, the Father of glory, may give you a spirit of wisdom and revelation as you come to know him, so that, with the eyes of your heart enlightened, you may know what is the hope to which he has called you, what are the riches of his glorious inheritance among the saints, and what is the immeasurable greatness of his power for us who believe, according to the working of his

Por esto, como sé que ustedes tienen fe en el Señor Jesús y amor para con todo el pueblo santo, no dejo de dar gracias a Dios por ustedes, recordándolos en mis oraciones. Pido al Dios de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, al glorioso Padre, que les conceda el don espiritual de la sabiduría y se manifieste a ustedes, para que puedan conocerlo verdaderamente. Pido que Dios les ilumine la mente, para que sepan cuál es la esperanza a la que han sido llamados, cuán gloriosa y rica es la herencia que Dios da al pueblo santo, y cuán grande y sin límites es su poder, el cual actúa en nosotros los creyentes. Este poder es el mismo que

great power. God put this power to work in Christ when he raised him from the dead and seated him at his right hand in the heavenly places, far above all rule and authority and power and dominion, and above every name that is named, not only in this age but also in the age to come. And he has put all things under his feet and has made him the head over all things for the church, which is his body, the fullness of him who fills all in all. The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.

Dios mostró con tanta fuerza y potencia cuando resucitó a Cristo y lo hizo sentar a su derecha en el cielo, poniéndolo por encima de todo poder, autoridad, dominio y señorío, y por encima de todo lo que existe, tanto en este tiempo como en el venidero. Sometió todas las cosas bajo los pies de Cristo, y a Cristo mismo lo dio a la iglesia como cabeza de todo. Pues la iglesia es el cuerpo de Cristo, de quien ella recibe su plenitud, ya que Cristo es quien lleva todas las cosas a su plenitud. Palabra del Señor. Demos gracias a Dios.

THE GOSPEL Matthew 25:31-46 The Holy Gospel of our Lord Jesus Christ according to Matthew. Glory to you, Lord Christ. Jesus said, “When the Son of Man comes in his glory, and all the angels with him, then he will sit on the throne of his glory. All the nations will be gathered before him, and he will separate people one from another as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats, and he will put the sheep at his right hand and the goats at the left. Then the king will say to those at his right hand, ‘Come, you that are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world; for I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me something to drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you gave me clothing, I was sick and you

Santo Evangelio de nuestro Señor Jesucristo, según Matthew. Gloria a ti, Cristo Señor. Jesús dijo: —Cuando el Hijo del hombre venga, rodeado de esplendor y de todos sus ángeles, se sentará en su trono glorioso. La gente de todas las naciones se reunirá delante de él, y él separará unos de otros, como el pastor separa las ovejas de las cabras. Pondrá las ovejas a su derecha y las cabras a su izquierda. Y dirá el Rey a los que estén a su derecha: “Vengan ustedes, los que han sido bendecidos por mi Padre; reciban el reino que está preparado para ustedes desde que Dios hizo el mundo. Pues tuve hambre, y ustedes me dieron de comer; tuve sed, y me dieron de beber; anduve como forastero, y me dieron alojamiento. Estuve sin ropa, y ustedes me la

took care of me, I was in prison and you visited me.’ Then the righteous will answer him, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry and gave you food, or thirsty and gave you something to drink? And when was it that we saw you a stranger and welcomed you, or naked and gave you clothing? And when was it that we saw you sick or in prison and visited you?’ And the king will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did it to one of the least of these who are members of my family, you did it to me.’ Then he will say to those at his left hand, ‘You that are accursed, depart from me into the eternal fire prepared for the devil and his angels; for I was hungry and you gave me no food, I was thirsty and you gave me nothing to drink, I was a stranger and you did not welcome me, naked and you did not give me clothing, sick and in prison and you did not visit me.’ Then they also will answer, ‘Lord, when was it that we saw you hungry or thirsty or a stranger or naked or sick or in prison, and did not take care of you?’ Then he will answer them, ‘Truly I tell you, just as you did not do it to one of the least of these, you did not do it to me.’ And these will go away into eternal punishment, but the righteous into eternal life.” The Gospel of the Lord. Praise to you, Lord Christ.

dieron; estuve enfermo, y me visitaron; estuve en la cárcel, y vinieron a verme.” Entonces los justos preguntarán: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos con hambre, y te dimos de comer? ¿O cuándo te vimos con sed, y te dimos de beber? ¿O cuándo te vimos como forastero, y te dimos alojamiento, o sin ropa, y te la dimos? ¿O cuándo te vimos enfermo o en la cárcel, y fuimos a verte?” El Rey les contestará: “Les aseguro que todo lo que hicieron por uno de estos hermanos míos más humildes, por mí mismo lo hicieron.” Luego el Rey dirá a los que estén a su izquierda: “Apártense de mí, los que merecieron la condenación; váyanse al fuego eterno preparado para el diablo y sus ángeles. Pues tuve hambre, y ustedes no me dieron de comer; tuve sed, y no me dieron de beber; anduve como forastero, y no me dieron alojamiento; sin ropa, y no me la dieron; estuve enfermo, y en la cárcel, y no vinieron a visitarme.” Entonces ellos le preguntarán: “Señor, ¿cuándo te vimos con hambre o con sed, o como forastero, o falto de ropa, o enfermo, o en la cárcel, y no te ayudamos?” El Rey les contestará: “Les aseguro que todo lo que no hicieron por una de estas personas más humildes, tampoco por mí lo hicieron.” Ésos irán al castigo eterno, y los justos a la vida eterna. El Evangelio del Señor. Te alabamos, Cristo Señor.

THE LORD’S PRAYER Led by Youngest Parishioners of Grace, New Lenox

CLOSING HYMN Thank You, Lord by Walter Hawkins (1949-2010) Performed by St. Thomas Episcopal Church, Chicago Teniya Mackey, soloist

Tragedies are commonplace, all kinds of diseases, people are slipping away; the economy’s down, people can’t get no pay. As for me, all I can say is Thank you, Lord, for all you’ve done for me! Folks without homes, living out in the streets, and drug habits some say they just can’t beat muggers and robbers, no place seems to be safe, But you need some protection every step of the way, (and I wanna say:) Thank you Lord, for all you’ve done for me! Thank you, thank you, thank you.
