Light one Candle to Watch for Messiah

Light one Candle to Watch for Messiah

Light one candle to watch for Messiah:

let the light banish darkness.

He shall bring salvation to Israel,

God fulfills the promise.

Light two candles to watch for Messiah;

Let the light banish darkness

He shall feed the flock like a shepherd

Gently lead them home-ward

Light three candles to watch for Messiah:

let the light banish darkness.

Lift your heads and lift high the gateway

for the King of glory.

Text: Wayne L. Wold, b. 1954

ADVENT CANDLE LIGHTING:  JOY

When I look around, I see shadows of sadness, families who have lost loved ones, people in prison, people who are isolated and feel on
their own…

When I look around, I see shadows of grief, people dreading the holidays because of painful memories, or because they don't want to spend another Christmas alone

In the face of sadness, we light a candle of joy...

In the face of grief, in the face of loss,
we light a candle of joy...

(Light the third candle in your Advent wreath.)

May the light from this candle
overwhelm the world.

May the light from this candle
say to all that God’s joy is coming,
on earth as it already is in heaven.

Friends, be not afraid, God’s joy is at hand!

SONG OF THE DAY

Mary Did You Know?

Mary did you know that your baby boy
will one day walk on water?

Mary did you know that your baby boy
will save our sons and daughters?

Did you know that your baby boy
has come to make you new?

This child that you've delivered,
will soon deliver you.

Mary did you know that your baby boy
will give sight to a blind man?

Mary did you know that your baby boy
will calm a storm with his hand?

Did you know that your baby boy
has walked where angels trod?

And when you kiss your little baby,
you have kissed the face of God.

Oh Mary did you know

Oh Mary did you know

The blind will see, the deaf will hear
and the dead will live again.

The lame will leap, the dumb will speak,
the praises of the lamb.

Mary did you know that your baby boy
is Lord of all creation?

Mary did you know that your baby boy
will one day rule the nations?

Did you know that your baby boy
is heaven's perfect Lamb?

And the sleeping child you're holding
is the great I AM.

Let All Things Now Living

Let all things now living

to God the creator triumphantly raise,

who fashioned and made us,

protected and stayed us,

who still guides us on to the end of our days

God's banners are o'er us,

God's light goes before us,

a pillar of fire shining forth in the night,

till shadows have vanished

and darkness is banished,

as forward we travel from light into light.

God rules all the forces:

the stars in their courses

and sun in its orbit obediently shine;

the hills and the mountains,

the rivers and fountains,

the deeps of the ocean proclaim God divine.

We too should be voicing

our love and rejoicing;

with glad adoration a song let us raise

till all things now living

unite in thanksgiving:

"To God in the highest, hosanna and praise!"

To you their lives bore witness,

proclaimed your pow'r to save.

who toiled with pot and pan

while Mary sat in silence

Christ, keep our hearts attentive

to truth that you declare,

and strengthen us for service

when work becomes our prayer.

Recall the outcast woman

with whom our Lord conversed:

Christ gave her living water

to quench her deepest thirst.

Like hers, our hearts are yearning;

Christ offers us his word.

Then may our lips be burning

SENDING SONG: ELW 422

For All the Saints

For all the saints

who from their labours rest,

who thee by faith

before the world confessed,

thy name, O Jesus, be forever blest.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

Thou wast their rock, their fortress,

and their might;

thou, Lord, their captain

in the well-fought fight;

thou, in the darkness drear,

their one true light.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

And when the strife is fierce,

the warfare long,

steals on the ear

the distant triumph song,

and hearts are brave again

and arms are strong.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

But then there breaks

a yet more glorious day:

the saints triumphant rise in bright array;

the King of glory passes on his way.

Alleluia! Alleluia!

From earth's wide bounds,

from ocean's farthest coast,

through gates of pearl streams

in the countless host,

singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:

Alleluia! Alleluia!

And as He laid down His life

we offer this sacrifice

that we will live just as he died:

willing to pay the price,

How beautiful the radiant Bride

How beautiful when humble hearts give

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

1    O God, our help in ages past,

      our hope for years to come,

      our shelter from the stormy blast,

      and our eternal home:

2    Under the shadow of your throne

      your saints have dwelt secure;

      sufficient is your arm alone,

      and our defense is sure.

3    Before the hills in order stood

      or earth received its frame,

      from everlasting you are God,

4    A thousand ages in your sight

      are like an evening gone,

      before the rising sun.

5    Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

bears all our years away;

     they fly forgotten, as a dream

Stepped in and saved the day.

But as the thunder rolls I barely hear

And as Your mercy falls

I'll raise my hands and praise the God who gives, and takes away

And I'll praise You in this storm,

and I will lift my hands

For You are who You are,

And every tear I've cried,

You hold in Your hand,

You never left my side,

And though my heart is torn

I will praise You in this storm

I remember when I stumbled in the wind

You heard my cry,

You raised me up again

But my strength is almost gone,

How can I carry on, If I can't find You?

But as the thunder rolls I barely hear

You whisper through the rain

I will fear no evil of the morrow,

I will trust in your enduring grace.

Savior, help me bear

till in glory I behold your face.

Oh, what joy to know

that you are near me

when my burdens grow

too great to bear;

oh, what joy to know that

How Great Thou Art

O Lord my God,

when I in awesome wonder,

consider all the works

thy hand hath made,

I see the stars, I hear the mighty thunder,

thy pow'r throughout, 

the universe displayed;

Then sings my soul,

my Savior God, to thee,

how great thou art! How great thou art!

Then sings my soul,

my Savior God, to thee,

how great thou art! How great thou art!

When through the woods

and forest glades I wander,

I hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;

when I look down

from lofty mountain grandeur

and hear the brook

and feel the gentle breeze; 

Then sings my soul,

my Savior God, to thee,

how great thou art! How great thou art!

Then sings my soul,

my Savior God, to thee,

how great thou art! How great thou art!

But when I think

that God, his Son not sparing,

sent him to die, I scarce can take it in,

that on the cross

my burden gladly bearing

he bled and died to take away my sin;

Then sings my soul,

my Savior God, to thee,

how great thou art! How great thou art!

Then sings my soul,

my Savior God, to thee,

how great thou art! How great thou art!

When Christ shall come,

with shout of acclamation,

and take me home,

what joy shall fill my heart!

Then I shall bow in humble adoration

and there proclaim,

“My God, how great thou art!” 

Then sings my soul,

how great thou art! How great thou art!

Then sings my soul,

my Savior God, to thee,

how great thou art! How great thou art!

Chorus:

From the corners of creation

to the center where we stand

Let all things be blessed and holy,

all is fashioned by your hand;

Brother wind and sister water,

mother earth and father sky,

Sacred plants and sacred creatures,

sacred people of the land.

In the east, the place of dawning,

there is beauty in the morn.

Here the seeker finds new visions

as each sacred day is born;

All who honor life around them,

all who honor life within,

They shall shine with light and glory

when the morning breaks again.

Chorus

In the south, the place of growing,

there is wisdom in the earth,

Both the painful song of ding

and the joyful song of birth.

As the earth fives up her lifeblood

so her children’s hearts may beat,

We give back to her our rev’rence

holy ground beneath our feet.

Chorus

In the north, the place of wisdom,

there is holy darkness deep,

Here the silent song of myst’ry

may awake you from your sleep;

Here the music still and holy

sounds beneath the snow and night

In the ones who wait with patience

for the coming of the light.

Chorus

In the west, the place of seeing,

there is born a vision new,

Of the servant of the servants,

who proclaimed a gospel true;

Let the creatures of creation

echo back creation’s prayer,

Let the Spirit now breathe through us

and restore the sacred there.

      day by day his clear voice sounding,

      saying, "Christian, follow me":

2    As of old Saint Andrew heard it

      by the Galilean lake,

      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 your mercy,

      Savior, may we hear your call,

      give our hearts to your obedience,

      serve and love you best of all.

SENDING SONG: ELW 837

Many and Great

Wakantanka taku nitawa

Many and great, O God, are your works,

maker of earth and sky.

Your hands have set

the heavens with stars;

your fingers spread

the mountains and plains.

Lo, at your word

the waters were formed;

deep seas obey your voice.

Wakantanka taku nitawa

tankaya qa ota.

Mahpiya kin eyahnake ca,

maka kin he duowanca.

Mniowanca śbeya wanke cin,

hena oyakihi.

Grant unto us communion with you,

O Star-abiding One.

Come unto us and dwell with us;

with you are found the gifts of life.

Bless us with life that has no end,

eternal life with you.
