GATHERING SONG: ELW 631

Love Divine, All Loves Excelling

Love divine, all loves excelling,

Joy of heav'n, to earth come down!

Fix in us thy humble dwelling,

all thy faithful mercies crown.

Jesus, thou art all compassion,

pure, unbounded love thou art;

visit us with thy salvation,

enter ev'ry trembling heart.

Breathe, oh, breathe thy loving Spirit

into ev'ry troubled breast;

let us all in thee inherit;

let us find thy promised rest.

Take away the love of sinning;

Alpha and Omega be;

end of faith, as its beginning,

set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty, to deliver;

let us all thy life receive;

suddenly return, and never,

nevermore thy temples leave.

Thee we would be always blessing,

serve thee as thy hosts above,

pray, and praise thee without ceasing,

glory in thy perfect love.

Finish then thy new creation,

pure and spotless let us be;

let us see thy great salvation

perfectly restored in thee!

Changed from glory into glory,

till in heav'n we take our place,

till we cast our crowns before thee,

lost in wonder, love, and praise!

Blest Be the Tie That Binds

Blest be the tie that binds

our hearts in Christian love;

the unity of heart and mind

is like to that above.

Before our Father's throne

we pour our ardent prayers;

our fears, our hopes, our aims are one,

our comforts and our cares.

We share our mutual woes,

our mutual burdens bear,

and often for each other flows

the sympathizing tear.

From sorrow, toil, and pain,

and sin we shall be free;

and perfect love and friendship reign

through all eternity.

Day of Arising

Day of arising,

Christ on the roadway,

unknown companion walks with his own.

When they invite him,

as fades the first day,

and bread is broken, 

Christ is made known.

When we are walking,

doubtful and dreading,

blinded by sadness, slowness of heart,

yet Christ walks with us,

ever awaiting

our invitation: Stay, do not part.

Lo, I am with you,

Jesus has spoken.

This is Christ's promise, this is Christ's sign:

when the church gathers,

when bread is broken,

there Christ is with us in bread and wine.

Christ, our companion,

hope for the journey, 

bread of compassion, open our eyes.

Grant us your vision,

set all hearts burning

that all creation with you may rise.

God is Here

God is here! As we your people

meet to offer praise and prayer,

may we find in fuller measure

what it is in Christ we share.

Here, as in the world around us,

all our varied skills and arts

wait the coming of the Spirit

into open minds and hearts.

Here are symbols to remind us

of our lifelong need of grace;

here are table, font, and pulpit;

here the cross has central place.

Here in honesty of preaching,

here in silence, as in speech,

here, in newness and renewal,

God the Spirit comes to each.

Here our children find a welcome

in the Shepherd's flock and fold;

here as bread and wine are taken,

Christ sustains us as of old.

Here the servants of the Servant

seek in worship to explore

what it means in daily living

to believe and to adore.

Lord of all, of church and kingdom,

in an age of change and doubt,

keep us faithful to the gospel;

help us work your purpose out.

Here, in this day's dedication,

all we have to give, receive;

we, who cannot live without you,

we adore you! We believe!

Children of the Heavenly Father

Children of the heav'nly Father

safely in his bosom gather;

nestling bird nor star in heaven

such a refuge e'er was given.

God his own doth tend and nourish,

in his holy courts they flourish.

From all evil things he spares them,

in his mighty arms he bears them.

Neither life nor death shall ever

from the Lord his children sever;

unto them his grace he showeth,

and their sorrows all he knoweth.

Though he giveth or he taketh,

God his children ne'er forsaketh;

his the loving purpose solely

to preserve them pure and holy.

Unexpected and Mysterious

Unexpected and mysterious

is the gentle word of grace.

Everloving and sustaining

is the peace of God's embrace.

If we falter in our courage

and we doubt what we have known,

God is faithful to console us

as a mother tends her own.

In a momentary meeting

of eternity and time,

Mary learned that she would carry

both the mortal and divine.

Then she learned of God's compassion,

of Elizabeth's great joy,

and she ran to greet the woman

who would recognize her boy.

We are called to ponder myst'ry

and await the coming Christ,

to embody God's compassion

for each fragile human life.

God is with us in our longing

to bring healing to the earth,

while we watch with joy and wonder

for the promised Savior's birth.

For All the Faithful Women

For all the faithful women

who served in days of old,

to you shall thanks be given;

to all, their story told.

They served with strength and gladness

in tasks your wisdom gave.

To you their lives bore witness,

proclaimed your pow'r to save.

O God, for saints and servants,

those named and those unknown,

in whom through all the ages

your light of glory shone,

we offer glad thanksgiving

and fervent prayer we raise

that, faithful in your service,

our lives may sing your praise.

We praise your name for Miriam,

who sang triumphantly

while Pharaoh's vaunted army

lay drowned beneath the sea.

As Israel marched to freedom,

her chains of bondage gone,

so may we reach the kingdom

your mighty arm has won.

We honor faithful Mary,

fair maiden, full of grace.

She bore the Christ, our brother,

who saved our human race.

May we, with her, surrender

ourselves to your command

and lay upon your altar

our gifts of heart and hand.

All praise to God the Father!

All praise to Christ the Son!

All praise to God the Spirit,

who binds the church as one!

With saints who went before us,

with saints who witness still,

we sing glad alleluias

and strive to do your will.

Jesus Christ is Risen Today

Jesus Christ is ris'n today, Alleluia!

our triumphant holy day, Alleluia!

who did once upon the cross, Alleluia!

suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!

unto Christ, our heav'nly king, Alleluia!

who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!

sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!

our salvation have procured; Alleluia!

now above the sky he's king, Alleluia!

where the angels ever sing. Alleluia!

Sing we to our God above, Alleluia!

praise eternal as his love; Alleluia!

praise him, all you heav'nly host, Alleluia!

Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Alleluia!

SENDING SONG: ELW 376

Thine is the Glory

Thine is the glory,

risen, conqu'ring Son;

endless is the vict'ry

thou o'er death hast won!

Angels in bright raiment

rolled the stone away,

kept the folded grave-clothes

where thy body lay.

Thine is the glory,

risen, conqu'ring Son;

endless is the vict'ry

thou o'er death hast won!

Lo, Jesus meets thee,

risen from the tomb!

Lovingly he greets thee,

scatters fear and gloom;

let his church with gladness

hymns of triumph sing,

for the Lord now liveth;

death hath lost its sting!

Thine is the glory,

risen, conqu'ring Son;

endless is the vict'ry

thou o'er death hast won!

No more we doubt thee,

glorious Prince of life;

life is naught without thee;

aid us in our strife;

make us more than conqu'rors,

through thy deathless love;

bring us safe through Jordan

to thy home above.

Thine is the glory,

risen, conqu'ring Son;

endless is the vict'ry

thou o'er death hast won!

Go to the Dark Gethsamane

Go to dark Gethsemane,

all who feel the tempter's pow'r;

your Redeemer's conflict see.

Watch with him one bitter hour;

turn not from his griefs away;

learn from Jesus Christ to pray.

Follow to the judgment hall,

view the Lord of life arraigned;

oh, the wormwood and the gall!

Oh, the pangs his soul sustained!

Shun not suff'ring, shame, or loss;

learn from him to bear the cross.

Calv'ry's mournful mountain climb;

there, adoring at his feet,

mark that miracle of time,

God's own sacrifice complete.

"It is finished!" hear him cry;

learn from Jesus Christ to die.

Early hasten to the tomb,

where they laid his breathless clay;

all is solitude and gloom.

Who has taken him away?

Christ is ris'n! He meets our eyes.

Savior, teach us so to rise.

SONG OF THE DAY: ELW 349

Ah Holy Jesus

Ah, holy Jesus, how hast thou offended

that we to judge thee 

have in hate pretended? 

By foes derided, by thine own rejected, 

O most afflicted. 

Who was the guilty? Who brought this upon thee?

Alas, my treason, Jesus, hath undone thee. 

'Twas I, Lord Jesus, I it was denied thee; 

I crucified thee. 

Lo, the Good Shepherd 

for the sheep is offered;

the slave hath sinned, 

and the Son hath suffered; 

for our atonement, 

while we nothing heeded, 

God interceded. 

For me, kind Jesus, was thine incarnation,

thy mortal sorrow, 

and thy life's oblation;

thy death of anguish 

and thy bitter passion,

for my salvation.

Therefore, kind Jesus, 

since I cannot pay thee,

I do adore thee, and will ever pray thee;

think on thy pity and thy love unswerving,

not my deserving.

Seed that in Earth is Dying

Seed that in earth is dying

grows into ears of grain.

Grapes that are crushed in the vessel

turn into golden wine.

God, through this mystery grant us

faith in our deepest darkness,

life in our night and death.

We were baptized in Jesus,

into his death and grave,

to resurrection's promise:

praise and eternal life.

Heaven's own praises begin here

where you yourself are near us,

deep in our night and death.

Seed that in earth is dying

rises to bear much fruit.

Christ, as we meet at your table,

give us the bread of life.

Lord, we do thank and adore you!

Unceasing praise of the ages

rises from night and death.

Gather Us In

Here in this place

The new light is streaming,

Now is the darkness vanished away;

See in this space our fears and our dreamings

Brought here to you in the light of this day.

Gather us in, the lost and forsaken,

gather us in, the blind and the lame;

call to us now, and we shall awaken,

we shall arise at the sound of our name.

We are the young, our lives are a myst'ry,

we are the old who yearn for your face;

we have been sung

throughout all of hist'ry,

called to be light to the whole human race.

Gather us in, the rich and the haughty,

gather us in, the proud and the strong;

give us a heart, so meek and so lowly,

give us the courage to enter the song.

Here we will take the wine and the water,

here we will take the bread of new birth,

here you shall call

your sons and your daughters,

call us anew to be salt for the earth.

Give us to drink the wine of compassion,

give us to eat the bread that is you;

nourish us well, and teach us to fashion

lives that are holy and hearts that are true.

Not in the dark of buildings confining,

not in some heaven, light years away—

here in this place the new light is shining,

now is the kingdom, and now is the day.

Gather us in and hold us forever,

gather us in and make us your own;

gather us in, all peoples together,

fire of love in our flesh and our bone.

In the Cross of Christ I Glory

In the cross of Christ I glory,

Tow’ring o’er the wrecks of time.

All the light of sacred story

Gathers round its head sublime.

When the woes of life o’ertake me,

Hopes deceive and fears annoy,

Never shall the cross forsake me;

Lo, it glows with peace and joy.

When the sun of bliss is beaming

Light and love upon my way,

From the cross the radiance streaming

Adds more luster to the day.

Bane and blessing, pain and pleasure,

By the cross are sanctified;

Peace is there that know no measure,

Joys that through all time abide.

Jesus Calls Us; O’er the Tumult

Jesus calls us; o'er the tumult

of our life's wild, restless sea,

day by day his clear voice sounding,

saying, "Christian, follow me":

As of old Saint Andrew heard it

by the Galilean lake,

turned from home and toil and kindred,

leaving all for Jesus' sake.                       

Jesus calls us from the worship

of the vain world's golden store,

from each idol that would keep us,

saying, "Christian, love me more."

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."

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.

O God Beyond All Praising

O God beyond all praising,

we worship you today

and sing the love amazing

that songs cannot repay;

for we can only wonder

at ev'ry gift you send,

at blessings without number

and mercies without end:

we lift our hearts before you

and wait upon your word

we honor and adore you,

our great and mighty Lord.

The flow'r of earthly splendor

in time must surely die,

its fragile bloom surrender to you,

the Lord most high;

but hidden from all nature

the eternal seed is sown—

though small in mortal stature,

to heaven's garden grown:

for Christ, your gift from heaven,

from death has set us free,

and we through him are given

the final victory.

Then hear, O gracious Savior,

accept the love we bring,

that we who know your favor

may serve you as our King;

and whether our tomorrows

be filled with good or ill,

we'll triumph through our sorrows

and rise to bless you still:

to marvel at your beauty

and glory in your ways,

and make a joyful duty

our sacrifice of praise.

Borning Cry

"I was there to hear your borning cry,

I'll be there when you are old.

I rejoiced the day you were baptized

to see your life unfold.

I was there when you were but a child,

with a faith to suit you well;

in a blaze of light you wandered off

to find where demons dwell."

"When you heard the wonder of the Word

I was there to cheer you on;

you were raised to praise the living Lord,

to whom you now belong.

If you find someone to share your time

and you join your hearts as one,

I'll be there to make your verses rhyme

from dusk till rising sun."

"In the middle ages of your life,

not too old, no longer young,

I'll be there to guide you through the night,

complete what I've begun.

When the evening gently closes in

and you shut your weary eyes,

I'll be there as I have always been,

with just one more surprise."

"I was there to hear your borning cry,

I'll be there when you are old.

I rejoiced the day you were baptized

to see your life unfold."

GATHERING SONG: ELW 606

Our Father, We Have Wandered

Our Father, we have wandered

and hidden from your face;

in foolishness have squandered

your legacy of grace.

But now, in exile dwelling,

we rise with fear and shame,

as, distant but compelling,

we hear you call our name.

And now at length discerning

the evil that we do,

behold us, Lord, returning

with hope and trust to you.

In haste you come to meet us

and home rejoicing bring,

in gladness there to greet us

with calf and robe and ring.

O Lord of all the living,

both banished and restored,

compassionate, forgiving,

and ever-caring Lord,

grant now that our transgressing,

our faithlessness may cease.

Stretch out your hand in blessing,

in pardon, and in peace.

Amazing Grace, My Chains are Gone

Amazing grace, how sweet the sound

That saved a wretch like me

I once was lost, but now I'm found

Was blind, but now I see

'Twas grace that taught my heart to fear

And grace my fears relieved

How precious did that grace appear

The hour I first believed

My chains are gone, I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

My chains are gone, I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

The Lord has promised good to me

His word my hope secures

He will my shield and portion be

As long as life endures

My chains are gone, I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

My chains are gone, I've been set free

My God, my Savior has ransomed me

And like a flood His mercy rains

Unending love, Amazing grace

When we've been there

ten thousand years,

Bright Shining as the sun

We've no less days to sing God's praise

Than when we've first begun

Than when we've first begun

Here in this place

the new light is streaming,

now is the darkness vanished away;

see in this space

our fears and our dreamings

brought here to you

in the light of this day.

Gather us in, the lost and forsaken,

gather us in, the blind and the lame;

call to us now, and we shall awaken,

we shall arise at the sound of our name.

We are the young, our lives are a myst'ry,

we are the old who yearn for your face;

we have been sung

throughout all of hist'ry,

called to be light to the whole human race.

Gather us in, the rich and the haughty,

gather us in, the proud and the strong;

give us a heart, so meek and so lowly,

give us the courage to enter the song.

Here we will take the wine and the water,

here we will take the bread of new birth,

here you shall call

your sons and your daughters,

call us anew to be salt for the earth.

Give us to drink the wine of compassion,

give us to eat the bread that is you;

nourish us well, and teach us to fashion

lives that are holy and hearts that are true.

Not in the dark of buildings confining,

not in some heaven, light years away—

here in this place the new light is shining,

now is the kingdom, and now is the day.

Gather us in and hold us forever,

gather us in and make us your own;

gather us in, all peoples together,

fire of love in our flesh and our bone.

On Eagles’ Wings

You who dwell

who abide in this shadow for life,

say to the Lord:

"My refuge,

my rock in whom I trust!"

And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,

bear you on the breath of dawn,

make you to shine like the sun,

and hold you in the palm of his hand.

The snare of the fowler

will never capture you,

and famine will bring you no fear;

under God's wings your refuge,

with faithfulness your shield.

And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,

bear you on the breath of dawn,

make you to shine like the sun,

and hold you in the palm of his hand.

You need not fear the terror of the night,

nor the arrow that flies by day;

though thousands fall about you,

near you it shall not come.

And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,

bear you on the breath of dawn,

make you to shine like the sun,

and hold you in the palm of his hand.

For to the angels God's given a command

to guard you in all of your ways;

upon their hands they will bear you up,

lest you dash your foot against a stone.

And he will raise you up on eagle's wings,

bear you on the breath of dawn,

make you to shine like the sun,

and hold you in the palm of his hand;

and hold you,

hold you in the palm of his hand.

O God Beyond All Praising

O God beyond all praising,

we worship you today

and sing the love amazing

that songs cannot repay;

for we can only wonder

at ev'ry gift you send,

at blessings without number

and mercies without end:

we lift our hearts before you

and wait upon your word

we honor and adore you,

our great and mighty Lord.

The flow'r of earthly splendor

in time must surely die,

its fragile bloom surrender to you,

the Lord most high;

but hidden from all nature

the eternal seed is sown—

though small in mortal stature,

to heaven's garden grown:

for Christ, your gift from heaven,

from death has set us free,

and we through him are given

the final victory.

Then hear, O gracious Savior,

accept the love we bring,

that we who know your favor

may serve you as our King;

and whether our tomorrows

be filled with good or ill,

we'll triumph through our sorrows

and rise to bless you still:

to marvel at your beauty

and glory in your ways,

and make a joyful duty

our sacrifice of praise.

to bear the dreadful curse for my soul?

When I was sinking down,

sinking down, sinking down,

when I was sinking down, sinking down,

when I was sinking down

beneath God's righteous frown,

Christ laid aside his crown

for my soul, for my soul,

Christ laid aside his crown for my soul.

To God and to the Lamb

I will sing, I will sing;

to God and to the Lamb I will sing;

to God and to the Lamb,

who is the great I AM,

while millions join the theme,

I will sing, I will sing,

while millions join the theme, I will sing.

And when from death I'm free,

I'll sing on, I'll sing on;

and when from death I'm free, I'll sing on;

and when from death I'm free,

I'll sing God's love for me,

and through eternity

I'll sing on, I'll sing on;

and through eternity I'll sing on.

I Love to Tell the Story

I love to tell the story

of unseen things above,

of Jesus and his glory,

of Jesus and his love.

I love to tell the story,

because I know it's true;

it satisfies my longings

as nothing else would do.

I love to tell the story;

'twill be my theme in glory

to tell the old, old story

of Jesus and his love.
