Just As I Am, without One Plea

Just as I am, without one plea,

but that thy blood was shed for me,

and that thou bidd'st me come to thee,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, though tossed about

with many a conflict, many a doubt,

fightings and fears within, without,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, thou wilt receive,

wilt welcome, pardon, cleanse, relieve;

because thy promise I believe,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come,

Just as I am; thy love unknown

has broken ev'ry barrier down;

now to be thine, yea, thine alone,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Let us Talents and Tongues Employ

Let us talents and tongues employ,

reaching out with a shout of joy:

bread is broken, the wine is poured,

Christ is spoken and seen and heard.

Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,

pass the Word around: loaves abound!

Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,

pass the Word around: loaves abound!

Christ is able to make us one,

at the table he sets the tone,

teaching people to live to bless,

love in word and in deed express.

Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,

pass the Word around: loaves abound!

Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,

pass the Word around: loaves abound!

Jesus calls us in, sends us out

bearing fruit in a world of doubt,

gives us love to tell, bread to share:

God (Immanuel) ev'rywhere!

Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,

pass the Word around: loaves abound!

Jesus lives again, earth can breathe again,

pass the Word around: loaves abound!

COMMUNION SONG 1: ELW 461

All Who Hunger, Gather Gladly

All who hunger gather gladly;

holy manna is our bread.

Come from wilderness and wand'ring.

Here in truth we will be fed.

You that yearn for days of fullness,

all around us is our food.

Taste and see the grace eternal.

Taste and see that God is good.

All who hunger, never strangers;

seeker, be a welcome guest.

Come from restlessness and roaming.

Here in joy we keep the feast.

We that once were lost and scattered

in communion's love have stood.

Taste and see the grace eternal.

Taste and see that God is good.

All who hunger, sing together,

Jesus Christ is living bread.

Come from loneliness and longing.

Here in peace we have been fed.

Blest are those who from this table

live their days in gratitude.

Taste and see the grace eternal.

Taste and see that God is good.

COMMUNION SONG 2: ELW 484

You Satisfy the Hungry Heart (Gift of Finest Wheat)

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

As when the shepherd calls his sheep,

they know and heed his voice;

so when you call your fam'ly, Lord,

we follow and rejoice. 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

With joyful lips we sing to you

our praise and gratitude

that you should count us worthy, Lord,

to share this heav'nly food. 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

Is not the cup we bless and share

the blood of Christ outpoured?

Do not one cup, one loaf, declare

our oneness in the Lord? 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

The myst'ry of your presence, Lord,

no mortal tongue can tell:

whom all the world cannot contain

comes in our hearts to dwell. 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

You give yourself to us, O Lord;

then selfless let us be,

to serve each other in your name

in truth and charity. 

You satisfy the hungry heart

with gift of finest wheat.

Come give to us, O saving Lord,

the bread of life to eat.

God, be the love to search and keep me;

O Christ, surround me; O Christ, surround me.

Bind to myself the name of Holy,

great cloud of witnesses enfold;

O Christ, surround me; O Christ, surround me.

Brightness of sun and glow of moonlight,

flashing of lightning, strength of wind,

depth of the sea to soil of planet:

O Christ, surround me; O Christ, surround me.

Walking behind to hem my journey,

going ahead to light my way,

and from beneath, above, and all ways:

O Christ, surround me; O Christ, surround me.

Christ in the eyes of all who see me,

Christ in the ears that hear my voice,

Christ in the hearts of all who know me:

O Christ, surround me; O Christ, surround me.

Build a Longer Table

Build a longer table, not a higher wall,

feeding those who hunger, making room for all.

Feasting together, stranger turns to friend,

Christ breaks walls to pieces; false divisions end.

Build a safer refuge, not a larger jail;

where the weak find shelter, mercy will not fail.

For any place where justice is denied,

Christ will breach the jail wall, freeing all inside.

Build a broader doorway, not a longer fence.

Love protects all people, sparing no expense.

When we embrace compassion more than fear,

Christ tears down our fences: all are welcome here.

When we lived as exiles, refugees abroad,

Christ became our doorway to the reign of God.

So must our tables welcome those who roam.

None can be excluded; all must find a home.

My Hope is Built on Nothing Less

My hope is built on nothing less

than Jesus' blood and righteousness;

no merit of my own I claim,

but wholly lean on Jesus' name.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

When darkness veils his lovely face,

I rest on his unchanging grace;

in ev'ry high and stormy gale

my anchor holds within the veil

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

His oath, his covenant, his blood

sustain me in the raging flood;

when all supports are washed away,

he then is all my hope and stay.

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

When he shall come with trumpet sound,

oh, may I then in him be found,

clothed in his righteousness alone,

redeemed to stand before the throne!

On Christ, the solid rock, I stand;

all other ground is sinking sand,

all other ground is sinking sand.

As the Grains of Wheat

As the grains of wheat once scattered on the hill

were gathered into one to become our bread;

so may all your people from all the ends of earth

be gathered into one in you.

As this cup of blessing is shared within our midst,

may we share the presence of your love.  Refrain

As the grains of wheat once scattered on the hill

so may all your people from all the ends of earth

be gathered into one in you.

Let this be a foretaste of all that is to come

By Your Hand You Feed Your People

By your hand you feed your people,

food of angels, heaven's bread.

For these gifts we did not labour,

by your grace have we been fed:

Christ's own body, blessed and broken,

cup o'er flowing, life outpoured,

given as a living token

of your world redeemed, restored.

In this meal we taste your sweetness,

bread for hunger, wine of peace.

Holy word and holy wisdom

satisfy our deepest needs.

Christ's own body, blessed and broken,

cup o'er flowing, life outpoured,

given as a living token

of your world redeemed, restored.

Send us now with faith and courage

to the hungry, lost, bereaved.

In our living and our dying,

we become what we receive:

cup o'er flowing, life outpoured,

given as a living token

And speak the words "You are mine."

GATHERING SONG: ACS 1040

Love Has Brought Us Here Together

Love has brought us here together;

love of fam'ly, love of friends;

love, our vow till death should part us;

love, God's gift, that never ends.

From our birth, throughout our lifetime,

love's insistence calls our name.

Floods of waters cannot drown it

or put out its dancing flame.

Love is gentle, love is patient,

soft in words and kind in deeds.

Love is strong and never pompous;

love puts first the other's needs.

Not quick-tempered or resentful,

prone to take offense or brood,

love excels in grace and mercy,

never jealous, never rude.

Love does not rejoice at evil;

love rejoices in the right.

Keen in giving and forgiving,

spreading love is love's delight.

When two people pledge their union,

all who witness are renewed,

feasting at love's earthly banquet,

tasting heav'n's beatitude.

Let Streams of Living Justice

Let streams of living justice

flow down upon the earth;

give freedom's light to captives,

let all the poor have worth.

The hungry's hands are pleading,

the workers claim their rights,

the mourners long for laughter,

the blinded seek for sight.

Make liberty a beacon,

strike down the iron pow'r;

abolish ancient vengeance:

proclaim your people's hour.

For healing of the nations,

for peace that will not end,

for love that makes us lovers,

God grant us grace to mend.

Weave our varied gifts together;

knit our lives as they are spun;

on your loom of time enrol us

till our thread of life is run.

O great weaver of our fabric,

bind church and world in one;

dye our texture with your radiance,

light our colours with your sun.

Your city's built to music;

we are the stones you seek;

your harmony is language;

we are the words you speak.

Our faith we find in service,

our hope in others' dreams,

our love in hand of neighbour;

our homeland brightly gleams.

Inscribe our hearts with justice;

your way—the path untried;

your truth—the heart of stranger;

your life—the Crucified.

COMMUNION SONG 2: ACS 1035

Though the Earth Shall Change

Though the earth shall change,

though the mountains tremble,

though the waters rage,

you, God, are here.

Though the nations war,

though the peoples battle,

though the empire falters,

we will not fear.

Though the earth shall change,

though the mountains tremble,

though the waters rage,

you, God, are here.

Though the nations war,

though the peoples battle,

though the empire falters,

we will not fear.

POST COMMUNION PRAYER

SENDING SONG: ELW 396

Spirit of Gentleness

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,

blow through the wilderness calling and free;

Spirit, Spirit of restlessness,

stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.

You moved on the waters, you called to the deep,

then you coaxed up the mountains

from the valleys of sleep;

and over the eons you called to each thing:

"Awake from your slumbers and rise on your wings."

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,

blow through the wilderness calling and free;

Spirit, Spirit of restlessness,

stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.

You swept through the desert,

you stung with the sand,

and you goaded your people with a law and a land;

and when they were blinded with idols and lies,

then you spoke through your prophets

to open their eyes.

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,

blow through the wilderness calling and free;

Spirit, Spirit of restlessness,

stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.

You sang in a stable, you cried from a hill,

then you whispered in silence

when the whole world was still;

and down in the city you called once again,

when you blew through your people

on the rush of the wind.

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,

blow through the wilderness calling and free;

Spirit, Spirit of restlessness,

stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.

You call from tomorrow,

you break ancient schemes.

From the bondage of sorrow

all the captives dream dreams;

our women see visions, our men clear their eyes.

With bold new decisions your people arise.

Spirit, Spirit of gentleness,

blow through the wilderness calling and free;

Spirit, Spirit of restlessness,

stir me from placidness, wind, wind on the sea.
