Here is our hymn of the week for Jan. 17th. The Gospel reading is John 2:1-11, the story of the miracle of Cana. Out of great need, Jesus supplied great abundance. And Jesus provided this abundance for both the wedding couple and for His brothers and sisters who remain in great need yet are given gifts without end.
408 Come, Join in Cana's Feast
1 Come, join in Cana’s feast
Where Christ is honored guest.
He welcomes all who come to taste
The wine His hands have blessed.
2 The old wine now is gone
From jars that stand apart.
No longer can it satisfy
The yearning, thirsting heart.
3 But Christ, the Word made flesh,
Bids water turn to wine.
He fills our empty cups again
With grace and truth divine.
4 Come, friends, and share the feast;
Here drink the wine supplied
By Him who is both guest and host—
For us, the crucified.
5 For now He lives and reigns
Through all eternity
With Father, Spirit, Three in One,
The glorious Trinity.

Hi Jeremy, I don't mean to be a downer here, but just FYI. Posting copyrighted texts for hymns is a no-no and the music industry watches this stuff like a hawk. The text you posted is copyrighted by Hope Publishing and the Lutheran Service Builder's licenses do not give you permission to post texts like this on a blog. We, in turn, are not given that right by the publishers so using LSB doesn't make it kosher. Hope you understand.
If you have any questions, let me know.
Blessings,
