Opening Hymn: Dear Christians, One and All, Rejoice LSB 556 sts. 1, 57, 10

5 God said to His belovd Son:Its time to have compassion.

Then go, bright jewel of My crown,And bring to all salvation.

From sin and sorrow set them free;

Slay bitter death for them that theyMay live with You forever.

6 The Son obeyed His Fathers will,Was born of virgin mother;

And Gods good pleasure to fulfill,He came to be my brother.

His royal powr disguised He bore;

A servants form, like mine, He woreTo lead the devil captive.

7 To me He said: Stay close to Me,I am your rock and castle.

Your ransom I Myself will be;For you I strive and wrestle.

For I am yours, and you are Mine,And where I am you may remain;

The foe shall not divide us.

10 What I on earth have done and taughtGuide all your life and teaching;

So shall the kingdoms work be wroughtAnd honored in your preaching.

But watch lest foes with base alloyThe heavnly treasure should destroy;

This final word I leave you.Text and Music: Public domain

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 heavenand was incarnate by the Holy Spirit of the virgin Maryand 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 heavenand 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 deadand the life TTTT of the world to come.
