Service of the Word
First Lesson Isaiah 52:1-7 The lesson will be read in English. Yesaya 52:1-7
Bangun, bangun! Kenakan kekuatanmu, hai Sion! Pakailah kehormatanmu, hai Yerusa-
lem, kota yang kudus! Sebab tidak seorangpun yang berkulup atau yang najis
akan masuk kepadamu. Kebaslah debu darimu, bangunlah, hai Yerusalem yang terta-
wan! Lepaskanlah ikatan dari lehermu hai putri Sion yang tertawan!
Sebab inilah firman Tuhan: Kamu dijual tanpa pembayaran, maka kamu akan ditebus
tanpa pembayaran. Sebab inilah firman Tuhan Allah: Dulu umatku berangkat ke Mesir
untuk tinggal di sana sebagai orang asing, lalu Asyur memeras mereka tanpa sebab.
Sekarang, ada lagikah urusanKu di sini? Demikianlah firman Tuhan.
Umatku dirampas begitu saja dan mereka memegahkan diri atas umatku, demikian fir-
man Tuhan, namaKu terus dihujat sepanjang hari. Sebab itu umatKu akan mengenal
namaKu dan waktu itulah mereka mengerti bahwa Akulah yang berbicara, ya Aku!
Betapa nampak keindahan dari puncak-puncak bukit kedatangan pembawa berita, yang
mengabarkan berita damai dan kabar baik, yang mengabarkan berita selamat dan ber-
kata kepada Sion: “Allahmu itulah Raja!”
Hymn, #267 Joy to the World
Second Lesson Hebrews 1:1-4 The lesson will be read in Indonesian. Ibrani 1:1-4
1Long ago God spoke to our ancestors in many and various ways by the prophets, 2but in
these last days he has spoken to us by a Son, whom he appointed heir of all things,
through whom he also created the worlds. 3He is the reflection of God’s glory and the
exact imprint of God’s very being, and he sustains all things by his powerful word.
When he had made purification for sins, he sat down at the right hand of the Majesty on
high, 4having become as much superior to angels as the name he has inherited is more
excellent than theirs.

Offertory Prayer Let us pray...Good and loving God,
we rejoice in the birth of Jesus, who came among the poor to bring the riches of your
grace. As you have blessed us with your gifts, let them be blessing for others. With the
trees of the field, with all earth and heaven, we shout for joy at the coming of your Son,
Jesus Christ our Lord.
Amen.
Eucharistic Prayer We give you thanks, Father, through Jesus Christ,
your beloved Son, whom you sent in this end of the ages
to save and redeem us and to proclaim to us your will.
He is your Word, inseparable from you.
Through him you created all things, and in him you take delight.
He is your Word, sent from heaven to a virgin’s womb.
He there took on our nature and our lot
and was shown forth as your Son,
born of the Holy Spirit and of the virgin Mary.
It is he, our Lord Jesus,
who fulfilled all your will and won for you a holy people;
he stretched out his hands in suffering
in order to free from suffering those who trust in you.
It is he who, handed over to a death he freely accepted,
in order to destroy death, to break the bonds of the evil one,
to crush hell under foot, to give light to the righteous,
to establish his covenant, and to show forth the resurrection,
taking bread and giving thanks to you, said:
Take and eat. This is my body, broken for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.

In the same way he took the cup, gave thanks,
and gave it for all to drink, saying:
This is my blood poured out for you.
Do this for the remembrance of me.
Remembering then his death and resurrection,
we lift this bread and cup before you,
giving thanks that you have made us worthy to stand before you
and to serve you as your priestly people.
And we ask you: Send your Spirit upon these gifts of your Church;
gather into one all who share this bread and wine;
fill us with your Holy Spirit to establish our faith in truth,
that we may praise and glorify you
through your Son Jesus Christ.
Through him all glory and honor are yours, Almighty Father,
with the Holy Spirit in your holy Church both now and forever.
Amen
Lord’s Prayer Please feel free to pray the prayer in any version of any language you wish.
