A Joyful Assembly
We have come before God’s holy mountain:
the heavenly Jerusalem,
the city of the living God;
we have come before myriads of angels
in festal gathering:
before the assembly
of the first-born citizens of heaven;
we have come before God the judge of all:
before the spirits of the righteous made perfect,
and Jesus the mediator of a new covenant.
We are receiving a kingdom
that cannot be shaken:
let us therefore give thanks to God,
thus offering acceptable worship
with reverence and awe:
for our God is a consuming fire.
New Testament Reading - The night is far spent
11Another reason for right living is this: you know how late it is; time is running out. Wake up, for the coming of the Lord is nearer now than when we first believed. 12-13The night is far gone, the day of his returna will soon be here. So quit the evil deeds of darkness and put on the armor of right living, as we who live in the daylight should! Be decent and true in everything you do so that all can approve your behavior. Don’t spend your time in wild parties and getting drunk or in adultery and lust or fighting or jealousy. 14But ask the Lord Jesus Christ to help you live as you should, and don’t make plans to enjoy evil.
. . . . . Romans 13:11-14- Literally, “our salvation.”

For you alone, O God, our soul in silence waits,

Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Awake, O God, and decree justice;
let the peoples gather around you.
Christ, have mercy. E te Karaiti, kia aroha mai.
Send forth your strength, O Lord;
establish, O God, what you have wrought in us.
Lord, have mercy. E te Ariki, kia aroha mai.
Amen.
