The Twenty-third Sunday after Pentecost

Luke 21:5-19

When some were speaking about the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and gifts dedicated to God, Jesus said, "As for these things that you see, the days will come when not one stone will be left upon another; all will be thrown down."

They asked him, "Teacher, when will this be, and what will be the sign that this is about to take place?" And he said, "Beware that you are not led astray; for many will come in my name and say, `I am he!' and, `The time is near!' Do not go after them.

"When you hear of wars and insurrections, do not be terrified; for these things must take place first, but the end will not follow immediately." Then he said to them, "Nation will rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom; there will be great earthquakes, and in various places famines and plagues; and there will be dreadful portents and great signs from heaven.

"But before all this occurs, they will arrest you and persecute you; they will hand you over to synagogues and prisons, and you will be brought before kings and governors because of my name. This will give you an opportunity to testify. So make up your minds not to prepare your defense in advance; for I will give you words and a wisdom that none of your opponents will be able to withstand or contradict. You will be betrayed even by parents and brothers, by relatives and friends; and they will put some of you to death. You will be hated by all because of my name. But not a hair of your head will perish. By your endurance you will gain your souls."

Hail to the Lord's Anointed

Hail To The Lord’s Anointed;

Great David’s Greater Son!

Hail, In The Time Appointed,

His Reign On Earth Begun!

He Comes To Break Oppression,

To Set The Captive Free,

To Take Away Transgression,

And Rule In Equity.

He Comes, With Succour Speedy,

To Those Who Suffer Wrong;

To Help The Poor And Needy,

And Bid The Weak Be Strong:

To Give Them Songs For Sighing,

Their Darkness Turn To Light,

Whose Souls, Condemned And Dying,

Were Precious In His Sight.

He Shall Come Down Like Showers

Upon The Fruitful Earth:

Love Joy And Hope Like Flowers,

Spring In His Path To Birth:

Before Him, On The Mountains,

Shall Peace The Herald Go;

And Righteousness In Fountains,

From Hill To Valley Flow.

Kings Shall Fall Down Before Him,

And Gold And Incense Bring;

All Nations Shall Adore Him,

His Praise All People Sing;

For Him Shall Prayer Unceasing

And Daily Vows Ascend;

His Kingdom Still Increasing,

A Kingdom Without End.

O’er Every Foe Victorious,

He On His Throne Shall Rest;

From Age To Age More Glorious,

All-Blessing And All-Blest.

The Tide Of Time Shall Never

His Covenant Remove;

His Name Shall Stand For Ever,

His Changeless Name Of Love.
