  • Reading 1:  1 psalm 126
     A Song of Ascents.
    ​    126 When the Lord restored the fortunes of Zion,
        we were like those who dream.
    2 Then our mouth was filled with laughter,
        and our tongue with shouts of joy;
    then they said among the nations,
        “The Lord has done great things for them.”
    3 The Lord has done great things for us;
        we are glad.
    4 Restore our fortunes, O Lord,
        like streams in the Negeb!
    5 Those who sow in tears
        shall reap with shouts of joy!
    6 He who goes out weeping,
        bearing the seed for sowing,
    shall come home with shouts of joy,
        bringing his sheaves with him.

    reading 2:  revelation 7:13-17
    13 Then one of the elders addressed me, saying, “Who are these, clothed in white robes, and from where have they come?” 
    14 I said to him, “Sir, you know.” And he said to me, “These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation. They have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the Lamb.
    15 “Therefore they are before the throne of God,
    and serve him day and night in his temple;
    and he who sits on the throne will shelter them with his presence.
    16 They shall hunger no more, neither thirst anymore;
    the sun shall not strike them, nor any scorching heat.
    17 For the Lamb in the midst of the throne will be their shepherd, and he will guide them to springs of living water,
    and God will wipe away every tear from their eyes.”

    11 For as a belt is bound around the waist, so I bound all the people of Israel and all the people of Judah to me,’ declares the Lord, ‘to be my people for my renown and praise and honor. But they have not listened.’
