Processional Hymn 585 Lord Jesus Christ, with Us Abide

5 Restrain, O Lord, the human pride

That seeks to thrust Your truth aside

Or with some man-made thoughts or things

Would dim the words Your Spirit sings.

6 Stay with us, Lord, and keep us true;

Preserve our faith our whole life through—

Your Word alone our heart’s defense,

The Church’s glorious confidence.

Stand Invocation, Confession and Absolution – LSB p. 203

P In the name of the Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen.

P Our help is in the name of the Lord,

C who made heaven and earth.

P If You, O Lord, kept a record of sins, O Lord, who could stand?

C But with You there is forgiveness; therefore You are feared.

P Since we are gathered to hear God’s Word, call upon Him in prayer and praise, and receive the body and blood of

our Lord Jesus Christ in the fellowship of this altar, let us first consider our unworthiness and confess before God

and one another that we have sinned in thought, word, and deed, and that we cannot free ourselves from our sinful

condition. Together as His people let us take refuge in the infinite mercy of God, our heavenly Father, seeking His

grace for the sake of Christ, and saying: God, be merciful to me, a sinner.

C Almighty God, have mercy upon us, forgive us our sins, and lead us to everlasting life. Amen.

P Almighty God in His mercy has given His Son to die for you and for His sake forgives you all your sins. As a

called and ordained servant of Christ, and by His authority, I therefore forgive you all your sins in the name of the

Father and of the T Son and of the Holy Spirit.

C Amen.

Holy Gospel Matthew 13:24–30, 36–43 At the end of this age, the Son of Man will send His angels to gather all people.

C Glory to You, O Lord.

After the reading:

C Praise to You, O Christ.

Nicene Creed

C I believe in one God,

the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth

and of all things visible and invisible.

And in one Lord Jesus Christ,

the only-begotten Son of God,

begotten of His Father before all worlds,

God of God, Light of Light,

very God of very God,

begotten, not made,

being of one substance with the Father,

by whom all things were made;

who for us men and for our salvation came down from heaven

and was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Mary

and was made man;

and was crucified also for us under Pontius Pilate.

He suffered and was buried.

And the third day He rose again according to the Scriptures

and ascended into heaven

and sits at the right hand of the Father.

And He will come again with glory to judge both the living and the dead,

whose kingdom will have no end.

And I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the Lord and giver of life,

who proceeds from the Father and the Son,

who with the Father and the Son together is worshiped and glorified,

who spoke by the prophets.

And I believe in one holy Christian and apostolic Church,

I acknowledge one Baptism for the remission of sins,

and I look for the resurrection of the dead

and the life T of the world to come. Amen.

Sit Hymn of the Day 827 Hark, the Voice of Jesus Calling

1 Hark, the voice of Jesus calling,

“Who will go and work today?

Fields are white and harvests waiting—

Who will bear the sheaves away?”

Loud and long the Master calleth;

Rich reward He offers thee.

Who will answer, gladly saying,

“Here am I, send me, send me”?

2 Some take up His task in morning,

To their Lord responding soon;

Some are called in heat of midday,

Others late in afternoon;

Even as the sun is setting,

Some are sent into the fields,

There to gather in the bounty

That God’s Word so richly yields.

The hymn continues on the next page.

3 For as rain and snow from heaven

Water seeds in dusty soil,

Causing them to bud and flower,

Giving bread to those who toil;

So the Lord sends forth His promise,

Words of life and joy and peace—

Never void to Him returning,

Bearing fruit with great increase.

4 Hearken to the Lord whose coming

Marks the time when grace shall end,

When with His angelic reapers

He in glory shall descend.

Soon the night, the final harvest;

Soon the time for work shall cease.

Then the souls His grace has garnered

Shall enjoy His Sabbath peace.

Prayer of the Church C Lord, have mercy.

Sit Offertory Music Preach You the Word setting by Johannes Brahms

Preach you the Word and plant it home

To men who like or like it not,

The Word that shall endure and stand

When flow’rs and men shall be forgot.

We know how hard, O Lord, the task

Your servant bade us undertake:

To preach Your Word and never ask

What prideful profit it may make.

Preach you the Word and plant it home

And never faint; the Harvest Lord

Who gave the sower seed to sow

Will watch and tend His planted Word. .

We welcome to the Lord’s Table members of St. Paul’s and members of sister congregations of The Lutheran Church―

Hymn 892 Come, Ye Thankful People, Come Stanzas 2–4 of this hymn reflect today’s Gospel reading.

1 Come, ye thankful people, come;

Raise the song of harvest home.

All be safely gathered in

Ere the winter storms begin;

God, our maker, doth provide

For our wants to be supplied.

Come to God’s own temple, come;

Raise the song of harvest home.

2 All the world is God’s own field,

Fruit unto His praise to yield;

Wheat and tares together sown,

Unto joy or sorrow grown.

First the blade and then the ear,

Then the full corn shall appear.

Lord of harvest, grant that we

Wholesome grain and pure may be.

3 For the Lord, our God, shall come

And shall take His harvest home,

From His field shall in that day

All offenses purge away,

Give His angels charge at last

In the fire the tares to cast,

But the fruitful ears to store

In His garner evermore.

4 Even so, Lord, quickly come

To Thy final harvest home;

Gather Thou Thy people in,

Free from sorrow, free from sin,

There, forever purified,

In Thy garner to abide:

Come with all Thine angels, come,

Raise the glorious harvest home.

Prayer before Communing

Dear Savior, at Your gracious invitation I come to Your table to eat and drink Your holy body and blood. Let me find favor in Your eyes to receive this holy Sacrament in faith for the salvation of my soul and to the glory of Your holy name; for You live and reign with the Father and the Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever. Amen.

Hymn 631 Here, O My Lord, I See Thee Face to Face

5 Mine is the sin, but Thine the righteousness;

Mine is the guilt, but Thine the cleansing blood;

Here is my robe, my refuge, and my peace:

Thy blood, Thy righteousness, O Lord my God.

6 Too soon we rise; the vessels disappear;

The feast, though not the love, is past and gone;

The bread and wine remove, but Thou art here;

Nearer than ever; still my shield and sun.

7 Feast after feast thus comes and passes by,

Yet, passing, points to that glad feast above,

Giving sweet foretaste of the festal joy,

The Lamb’s great marriage feast of bliss and love.

Solo Then Shall the Righteous Shine Forth Felix Mendelssohn

Then shall the righteous shine forth as the sun in their heavenly Father’s realm,

Joy on their head shall be for everlasting, all sorrow and mourning shall flee away forever.

(Matthew 13:43, from today’s Gospel; Isaiah 35:10)

Psalm 119:57–64 antiphon v. 50, setting by Henry Gerike

The refrain is sung first by the choir, then repeated by all.

The LORD is my portion; I promise to keep your words.

I entreat your favor with all my heart; be gracious to me according to your promise.

When I think on my ways, I turn my feet to your testimonies;

I hasten and do not delay to keep your commandments. Refrain

Though the cords of the wicked ensnare me, I do not forget your law.

At midnight I rise to praise you, because of your just and righteous decrees.

I am a companion of all who fear you, of those who keep your precepts.

The earth, O LORD, is full of your steadfast love; teach me your statutes!

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. Refrain

Nunc Dimittis– LSB p. 211 O Lord, now let Your servant

Depart in heav'nly peace,

For I have seen the glory

Of Your redeeming grace:

A light to lead the Gentiles

Unto Your holy hill,

The glory of Your people,

Your chosen Israel.

All glory to the Father,

All glory to the Son,

All glory to the Spirit,

Forever Three in One;

For as in the beginning,

Is now, shall ever be,

God's triune name resounding

Through all eternity.

Post-Communion Collect and Benediction – LSB p. 212

C Amen.

Hymn to Depart 589 Speak, O Lord, Your Servant Listens, stanzas 1& 4

1 Speak, O Lord, Your servant listens,

Let Your Word to me come near;

Newborn life and spirit give me,

Let each promise still my fear.

Death’s dread pow’r, its inward strife,

Wars against Your Word of life;

Fill me, Lord, with love’s strong fervor

That I cling to You forever!

4 As I pray, dear Jesus, hear me;

Let Your words in me take root.

May Your Spirit

e’er be near me

That I bear

abundant fruit.

May I daily sing

Your praise,

From my heart glad anthems raise,

Till my highest praise is given

In the endless joy of heaven.

Your offerings will be received at the door or your offering may be mailed to 1126 S. Barr St. Fort Wayne, IN 46802.

Please call the church office to set up electronic giving.

Prayer after Communing

Almighty and everlasting God, I thank and praise You for feeding me the life-giving body and blood of Your beloved Son, Jesus Christ. Send Your Holy Spirit that, having with my mouth received the holy Sacra-ment, I may by faith obtain and eternally enjoy Your divine grace, the forgiveness of sins, unity with Christ, and life eternal; through Jesus Christ, my Lord. Amen.

Small Catechism

The Seventh Petition

But deliver us from evil.

What does this mean?

We pray in this petition, in summary, that our Father

in heaven would rescue us from every evil of body

and soul, possessions and reputation, and finally,

when our last hour comes, give us a blessed end, and

graciously take us from this valley of sorrow to

Himself in heaven.

Large Catechism

Thus you see how God wants us to pray to him for

everything that affects our bodily welfare and directs us to

seek and expect help from no one but him. But this petition

he has put last, for if we are to be protected and delivered

from all evil, his name must first be hallowed in us, his

kingdom come among us, and his will be done. Then he will

preserve us from sin and shame and from everything else that

harms or injures us.

Thus God has briefly set before us all the afflictions that

may ever beset us in order that we may never have an excuse

for failing to pray. But the efficacy of prayer consists in our

learning also to say “Amen” to it—that is, not to doubt that

our prayer is surely heard and will be granted.

He draws near and dwells with us in all our afflictions (Romans 8:26) and cultivates a life that’s greater than physical comforts – like resurrection smuggled under cover of crucifixion and a harvest of wheat safely hidden to blossom behind weeds (Matthew 13:30).
