Great and Wonderful
Great and wonderful are your deeds
O Lord God the almighty:
just and true are your ways
O Sovereign of the nations.
Who shall not revere and praise your name
O Lord?:
for you alone are holy.
All nations shall come and worship
in your presence:
for your just dealings have been revealed.
To the One who is seated on the throne
and to the Lamb:
be blessing and honour, glory and might
for ever and ever.
Amen.
Gospel Reading - The servant one with the master
20Some Greeks who had come to Jerusalem to attend the Passover 21paid a visit to Philip,a who was from Bethsaida, and said, “Sir, we want to meet Jesus.” 22Philip told Andrew about it, and they went together to ask Jesus.
23-24Jesus replied that the time had come for him to return to his glory in heaven, and that “I must fall and die like a kernel of wheat that falls into the furrows of the earth. Unless I die I will be alone — a single seed. But my death will produce many new wheat kernels — a plentiful harvest of new lives. 25If you love your life down here — you will lose it. If you despise your life down here — you will exchange it for eternal glory.
26“If these Greeksb want to be my disciples, tell them to come and follow me, for my servants must be where I am. And if they follow me, the Father will honor them.
. . . . .John 12:20-26- His name was Greek, though he was a Jew.
- Literally, “If any man.”
The Lord's Prayer
Our Father in heaven,
hallowed be your name,
your kingdom come,
your will be done,
on earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins
as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial
and deliver us from evil.
For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours
now and for ever.
Amen.
