Opening Hymn “Christ, the Life of All the Living” LSB 420

5 Thou hast suffered men to bruise Thee, That from pain I might be free;Falsely did Thy foes accuse Thee: Thence I gain security;Comfortless Thy soul did languishMe to comfort in my anguish. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.

6 Thou hast suffered great affliction And hast borne it patiently,Even death by crucifixion, Fully to atone for me;Thou didst choose to be tormentedThat my doom should be prevented. Thousand, thousand thanks shall be, Dearest Jesus, unto Thee.

7 Then, for all that wrought my pardon, For Thy sorrows deep and sore,For Thine anguish in the Garden, I will thank Thee evermore,Thank Thee for Thy groaning, sighing,For Thy bleeding and Thy dying, For that last triumphant cry, And shall praise Thee, Lord, on high.

Psalm Psalm 145; antiphon v. 1717The Lord is righteous in | all his ways*

and kind in | all his works.1I will extol you, my | God and King,*

and bless your name forever and | ever.2Every day I will | bless you*

and praise your name forever and | ever.3Great is the LORD, and greatly | to be praised,*

and his greatness is un- | searchable.4One generation shall commend your works to an- | other,*

and shall declare your | mighty acts.5On the glorious splendor of your | majesty,*

and on your wondrous works, I will | meditate.6They shall speak of the might of your | awesome deeds,*

and I will declare your | greatness.7They shall pour forth the fame of your abundant | goodness*

and shall sing aloud of your | righteousness.8The LORD is gracious and | merciful,*

slow to anger and abounding in | steadfast love.9The LORD is | good to all,*

and his mercy is over all that | he has made.10All your works shall give thanks to you, | O LORD,*

and all your saints shall | bless you!11They shall speak of the glory of your | kingdom*

and tell | of your power,12to make known to the children of man your | mighty deeds,*

and the glorious splendor of your | kingdom.13Your kingdom is an everlasting | kingdom,*

and your dominion endures throughout all gener- | ations.The LORD is faithful in | all his words*

and kind in | all his works.

14The LORD upholds all who are | falling*and raises up all who are | bowed down.

15The eyes of all | look to you,*and you give them their food in due | season.

16You open | your hand;*you satisfy the desire of every | living thing.

17The LORD is righteous in | all his ways*and kind in | all his works.

18The LORD is near to all who | call on him,*to all who call on | him in truth.

19He fulfills the desire of those who | fear him;*he also hears their cry and | saves them.

20The LORD preserves all who | love him,*but all the wicked he | will destroy.

21My mouth will speak the praise | of the LORD,*and let all flesh bless his holy name forever and | ever.

Glory be to the Father and to the Son*and to the Holy Spirit;

as it was in the beginning,*is now, and will be forever. Amen.

17The Lord is righteous in | all his ways*and kind in | all his works.

+READINGS+

Reading John 17:1–251When Jesus had spoken these words, he lifted up his eyes to

heaven, and said, “Father, the hour has come; glorify your Son that the Son may glorify you, 2since you have given him authority over all flesh, to give eternal life to all whom you have given him. 3And this is eternal life, that they know you the only true God, and Jesus Christ whom you have sent. 4I glorified you on earth, having accomplished the work that you gave me to do. 5And now, Father, glorify me in your own presence with the glory that I had with you before the world existed.

6“I have manifested your name to the people whom you gave me out of the world. Yours they were, and you gave them to me, and they have kept your word. 7Now they know that everything that you have given me is from you. 8For I have given them the words that you gave me, and they have received them and have come to know in truth that I came from you; and they have believed that you sent me. 9I am praying for them. I am not praying for the world but for those whom you have given me, for they are yours. 10All mine are yours, and yours are mine, and I am glorified in them. 11And I am no longer in the world, but they are in the world, and I am coming to you. Holy Father, keep them in your name, which you have given me, that they may be one, even as we are one. 12While I was with them, I kept them in your name, which you have given me. I have guarded them, and not one of them has been lost except the son of destruction, that the Scripture might be fulfilled. 13But now I am coming to you, and these things I speak in the world, that they may have my joy fulfilled in themselves. 14I have given them your word, and the world has hated them because they are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 15I do not ask that you take them out of the world, but that you keep them from the evil one. 16They are not of the world, just as I am not of the world. 17Sanctify them in the truth; your word is truth. 18As you sent me into the world, so I have sent them into the world. 19And for their sake I consecrate myself, that they also may be sanctified in truth.

20“I do not ask for these only, but also for those who will believe in me through their word, 21that they may all be one, just as you, Father, are in me, and I in you, that they also may be in us, so that the world may believe that you have sent me. 22The glory that you have given me I have given to them, that they may be one even as we are one, 23I in them and you in me, that they may become perfectly one, so that the world may know that you sent me and loved them even as you loved me. 24Father, I desire that they also, whom you have given me, may be with me where I am, to see my glory that you have given me because you loved me before the foundation of the world.

25O righteous Father, even though the world does not know you, I know you, and these know that you have sent me.

Collect of the DayP O Lord God, You led Your ancient people through the

wilderness and brought them to the promised land.

C Amen.

Collect for PeaceL O God, from whom come all holy desires, all good counsels, and

all just works, give to us, Your servants, that peace which the world cannot give, that our hearts may be set to obey Your commandments and also that we, being defended from the fear of our enemies, may live in peace and quietness; through Jesus Christ, Your Son, our Lord, who lives and reigns with You and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.

C Amen.
