"Are you speaking for yourself about this, or did others tell you this

concerning Me?" Pilate answered, "Am I a Jew? Your own nation and the

chief priests have delivered You to me. What have You done?" Jesus

answered, "My kingdom is not of this world. If My kingdom were of this

world, My servants would fight, so that I should not be delivered to

the Jews; but now My kingdom is not from here." Pilate therefore said

to Him, "Are You a king then?" Jesus answered, "You say rightly that I

am a king. For this cause I was born, and for this cause I have come

into the world, that I should bear witness to the truth. Everyone who

is of the truth hears My voice."

* Jesus Calls Us C.F. Alexander (1852) 87.87. STUTTGART (ELH 87)

1 Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult
Of our life's wild, restless

sea,


Day by day His sweet voice soundeth, Saying, "Christian, follow Me."

2 As of old Saint Andrew heard it
By the Galilean lake,


Turned from home and toil and kindred, Leaving all for His dear sake.

3 Jesus calls us from the worship Of the vain world's golden store,

From each idol that would keep us, Saying, "Christian, love Me more."

4 In our joys and in our sorrows, Days of toil and hours of ease,


Still He calls, in cares and pleasures, "Christian, love Me more than

these."

5 Jesus calls us; By Thy mercies, Savior, make us hear Thy call;


Give our hearts to Thine obedience, Serve and love Thee best of all.

* The Collect for St. Andrew's Day:

Almighty God,
who gave such grace to your apostle Andrew
that he

readily obeyed the call of your Son Jesus Christ, and brought his

brother with him: Give us,
who are called by your holy Word,
grace

to follow Him without delay,
and to bring those near to us into His

gracious presence; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit,

one God, now and for ever.
Amen.

* Advent Tells Us Christ Is Near

1 Advent tells us Christ is near; Christmas tells us Christ is here.

In Epiphany we trace
All the glory of His grace.

2 Then three Sundays will prepare For the time of faithful prayer,

That, with hearts made penitent, We may keep a faithful Lent.

3 Holy Week and Easter then Tell who died and rose again:

O that happy Paschal day! "Christ is ris'n indeed," we say.

4 Yes, and Christ ascended, too, To prepare a place for you;


So we give Him special praise after those great forty days.

5 Then He sent the Holy Ghost On the day of Pentecost,


With us ever to abide:
God, our Comfort, by our side.

6 Last of all, by grace we sing Glory to our God and King,

Glory to the One in Three, Glory to the Trinity.

Revelation 21:1-5 Then I saw a new heaven and a new earth, for the

first heaven and the first earth had passed away, and there was no

longer any sea. I saw the Holy City, the new Jerusalem, coming down

out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride beautifully dressed for

her husband. And I heard a loud voice from the throne saying, "Now the

dwelling of God is with men, and he will live with them. They will be

his people, and God himself will be with them and be their God. He

will wipe every tear from their eyes. There will be no more death or

mourning or crying or pain, for the old order of things has passed

away." He who was seated on the throne said, "I am making everything

new!" Then he said, "Write this down, for these words are trustworthy

and true."

Revelation 22:1-5 Then the angel showed me the river of the water of

life, as clear as crystal, flowing from the throne of God and of the

Lamb down the middle of the great street of the city. On each side of

the river stood the tree of life, bearing twelve crops of fruit,

yielding its fruit every month. And the leaves of the tree are for the

healing of the nations. No longer will there be any curse. The throne

of God and of the Lamb will be in the city, and his servants will

serve him. They will see his face, and his name will be on their

foreheads. There will be no more night. They will not need the light

of a lamp or the light of the sun, for the Lord God will give them

light. And they will reign forever and ever.
