Then (Jesus) said to him, “A certain man gave a great supper and invited many, and sent his servant at supper time to say to those who were invited, “Come, for all things are now ready.’ But they all with one accord began to make excuses. The first said to him, “I have bought a piece of ground, and I must go and see it. I ask you to have me excused.’ And another said, “I have bought five yoke of oxen, and I am going to test them. I ask you to have me excused.’ Still another said, “I have married a wife, and therefore I cannot come.’ So that servant came and reported these things to his master. “Then the master of the house, being angry, said to his servant, “Go out quickly into the streets and lanes of the city, and bring in here the poor and the maimed and the lame and the blind.’ And the servant said, “Master, it is done as you commanded, and still there is room.’ Then the master said to the servant, “Go out into the highways and hedges, and compel them to come in, that my house may be filled. For I say to you that none of those men who were invited shall taste my supper.’” - Have Ye Heard the Invitation?
B. Kornelius, 2020 Have ye heard the invitation, sinners ruined by the fall? Famished souls who seek salvation, have ye heard the loving call? Hark! A herald of the Father bids you of his supper taste. Round the sacred table gather, all is ready; sinners, haste! O ye chosen, have ye slighted this sweet call to you proclaimed? Lo! The King hath now invited all the halt, the blind, the maimed: “Come, ye poor from out the highways, come, a feast awaits you, come!” Leave the hedges and the byways, hasten to the Father’s home. We have heard thee call, dear Father, in thy Word and sacrament; round thy festal board we’ll gather till our life’s last day is spent. Ours the risen Savior’s merit, ours the bounties of thy love, ours thy peace, till we inherit endless life in heav’n above. A. Hoppe, 1919 - Homily
- Sing Praise to God Who Reigns Above
C. Fuller 2009 Sing praise to God who reigns above, the God of all creation. The God of power, the God of love, The God of our salvation; With healing balm my soul he fills, And every faithless murmur stills: To God all praise and glory. What God’s almighty power hath made, His gracious mercy keepeth; By morning glow or evening shade his watchful eye ne’er sleepeth. Within the kingdom of his might, Lo! All is just and all is right: To God all praise and glory. Let all who name Christ’s holy name give God all praise and glory; Let all who know his pow’r proclaim aloud the wondrous story! Cast each false idol from its throne, the Lord is God, and he alone: To God all praise and glory. J.J. Schütz, 1640-1690, tr. F.E. Cox, 1812-1897 - The Kyrie (p. 124)
