Call to Worship [Traditional]

Alleluia! Christ is risen!
He is risen indeed! Alleluia!

On this mountain The Holy One of hosts will make for all peoples a feast of rich food, a feast of well-aged wines, of rich food filled with marrow, of well-aged wines strained clear.
And The Holy One will destroy on this mountain the shroud that is cast over all peoples, the sheet that is spread over all nations; he will swallow up death forever.
Then The Holy God will wipe away the tears from all faces, and the disgrace of his people he will take away from all the earth, for The Holy One has spoken.
It will be said on that day, Lo, this is our God; we have waited for him, so that he might save us. This is The Holy One for whom we have waited; let us be glad and rejoice in his salvation.

Isaiah 25:6-9
