    Drawn to the Light

     

    People who walk in darkness have sought

    a light in the heart of the darkest night.

    Just when we thought all would be lost,

    we were drawn to the light of God.

     

    Dawn is in sight! Gone is the night,

    drawn to the light and the morning.

    Glorious and bright, oh, what a sight

    to be drawn to the light of God.

     

    How can we tell a heaven from hell

    if ev'ryone dwells in the dark of night?

    Morning dispels, gently compels,

    and we're drawn to the light of God.

     

    Dawn is in sight! Gone is the night,

    drawn to the light and the morning.

    Glorious and bright, oh, what a sight

    to be drawn to the light of God.

     

    Where is the sun? Oh, there will be none!

    The Lamb is the one who is shining bright,

    bids us to come! Life has begun

    when we're drawn to the light of God.

     

    Dawn is in sight! Gone is the night,

    drawn to the light and the morning.

    Glorious and bright, oh, what a sight

    to be drawn to the light of God.

    COMMUNION SONG 1: ELW 939

    Touch That Soothes and Heals

     

    Touch that soothes and heals the hurting,

    hands that break a loaf of bread;

    steps that walk beside the weary,

    bearing burdens in their stead:

     

    "See my hands and feet," said Jesus,

    love arisen from the grave.

    "Be my hands and feet," said Jesus,

    "live as ones I died to save."

    Feed the hungry, clothe the naked,

    visit ones in need of care,

    give the homeless warmth and shelter:

    Christ will find a welcome there.

     

    "See my hands and feet," said Jesus,

    love arisen from the grave.

    "Be my hands and feet," said Jesus,

    "live as ones I died to save."

     

    Love and serve without distinction

    all earth's people, first and least.

    Know within each act of kindness

    hope and wholeness are increased.

     

    "See my hands and feet," said Jesus,

    love arisen from the grave.

    "Be my hands and feet," said Jesus,

    "live as ones I died to save."

     

    Hands that beckon little children,

    bind a wound, prepare a meal,

    feet that rush to share good tidings,

    Christ arisen , still reveal.

     

    "See my hands and feet," said Jesus,

    love arisen from the grave.

    "Be my hands and feet," said Jesus,

    "live as ones I died to save."

    God, Be the Love to Search and Keep Me

     

    God, be the love to search and keep me;

    God, be the prayer to move my voice;

    God, be the strength to now uphold me:

    O Christ, surround me;

    O Christ, surround me.

     

    Bind to myself the name of Holy,

    great cloud of witnesses enfold;

    prophets, apostles, angels witness:

    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.

    I Come with Joy

     

    I come with joy, a child of God,

    forgiven, loved, and free,

    the life of Jesus to recall

    in love laid down for me,

    in love laid down for me.

     

    I come with Christians far and near

    to find, as all are fed,

    the new community of love

    in Christ's communion bread,

    in Christ's communion bread.

     

    As Christ breaks bread and bids us share,

    each proud division ends.

    The love that made us, makes us one,

    and strangers now are friends,

    and strangers now are friends.

     

    The Spirit of the risen Christ,

    unseen, but ever near,

    is in such friendship better known,

    alive among us here,

    alive among us here.


    Together met, together bound

    by all that God has done,

    we'll go with joy, to give the world

    the love that makes us one,

    the love that makes us one.

    When Peace Like a River

     

    When peace like a river attendeth my way,

    when sorrows like sea billows roll,

    whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say,

    it is well, it is well with my soul.

     

    It is well (it is well)

    with my soul, (with my soul,)

    it is well, it is well with my soul.

     

    Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come,

    let this blest assurance control,

    that Christ has regarded my helpless estate,

    and has shed his own blood for my soul.

    with my soul, (with my soul,)

    it is well, it is well with my soul.

     

    He lives--oh, the bliss of this glorious thought;

    my sin, not in part, but the whole,

    is nailed to his cross and I bear it no more.

    Praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

    It is well (it is well)

    with my soul, (with my soul,)

    it is well, it is well with my soul.

     

    Lord, hasten the day when our faith shall be sight,

    the clouds be rolled back as a scroll,

    the trumpet shall sound and the Lord shall descend;

    even so it is well with my soul.

     

    It is well (it is well)

    with my soul, (with my soul,)

    it is well, it is well with my soul,

    it is well, it is well with my soul.

    that one day they be free;

    and we sing for generations yet to be,

    that they never have a reason

    to doubt that they are blest.

    May they, in your love, find rest.

     

    Oh, may our hearts and minds be opened,

    fling the church doors open wide.

    May there be room enough for ev'ryone inside.

    For in God there is a welcome, in God we all belong.

    May that welcome be our song.

     

    Oh, we pray for all the young lives

    cut short by fear and shame,

    so afraid of who they are and whom they love.

    May the message now be banished

    that your love is for the few;

    may their faith in you renew.

     

    Oh, may our hearts and minds be opened,

    fling the church doors open wide.

    May there be room enough for ev'ryone inside.

    For in God there is a welcome, in God we all belong.

    May that welcome be our song.

     

    God, we're working for the future

    when children far and wide

    can live their lives with dignity and pride.

    As they grow in strength and stature,

    may they join us hand in hand,

    as against all hate we stand.

     

    Oh, may our hearts and minds be opened,

    fling the church doors open wide.

    May there be room enough for ev'ryone inside.

    For in God there is a welcome, in God we all belong.

    May that welcome be our song.

    What a Beautiful Name

    You were the Word at the beginning

    One with God the Lord Most High

    Your hidden glory in creation

    Now revealed in You our Christ

     

    What a beautiful Name it is

    What a beautiful Name it is

    The Name of Jesus Christ my King

    What a beautiful Name it is

    Nothing compares to this

    What a beautiful Name it is

    The Name of Jesus

     

    You didn’t want heaven without us

    So Jesus You brought heaven down

    My sin was great Your love was greater

    What could separate us now

     

    What a wonderful Name it is

    What a wonderful Name it is

    The Name of Jesus Christ my King

    What a wonderful Name it is

    Nothing compares to this

    What a wonderful Name it is

    The Name of Jesus

     

    Death could not hold You

    The veil tore before You

    You silence the boast of sin and grave

    The heavens are roaring

    The praise of Your glory

    For You are raised to life again

     

    You have no rival

    You have no equal

    Now and forever God You reign

    Yours is the kingdom

    Yours is the glory

    Yours is the Name above all names

     

    What a powerful Name it is

    What a powerful Name it is

    The Name of Jesus Christ my King

    What a powerful Name it is

    Nothing can stand against

    What a powerful Name it is

    The Name of Jesus

     

    What a powerful Name it is The Name of Jesus

    What a powerful Name it is The Name of Jesus

    Now the Green Blade Rises

     

    Now the green blade rises from the buried grain,

    wheat that in dark earth many days has lain;

    love lives again, that with the dead has been;

    love is come again like wheat arising green.

     

    In the grave they laid him, love by hatred slain,

    thinking that he would never wake again;

    laid in the earth like grain that sleeps unseen;

    love is come again like wheat arising green.

     

    Forth he came at Easter, like the risen grain,

    he that for three days in the grave had lain;

    raised from the dead, my living Lord is seen;

    love is come again like wheat arising green.

     

    When our hearts are wintry, grieving, or in pain,

    your touch can call us back to life again,

    fields of our hearts that dead and bare have been;

    love is come again like wheat arising green.

    GATHERING SONG: ELW 361

    The Day of Resurrection

    The day of resurrection!

    Earth, tell it out abroad,

    the passover of gladness,

    the passover of God.

    From death to life eternal,

    from sin's dominion free,

    our Christ has brought us over

    with hymns of victory.

     

    Let hearts be purged of evil

    that we may see aright

    the Lord in rays eternal

    of resurrection light,

    and list'ning to his accents,

    may hear, so calm and plain,

    his own "All hail!" and hearing,

    may raise the glad refrain.

     

    Now let the heav'ns be joyful,

    let earth its song begin,

    the round world keep high triumph

    and all that is therein.

    Let all things, seen and unseen,

    their notes of gladness blend;

    for Christ the Lord has risen,

    our joy that has no end!


    All praise to God the Father,

    all praise to Christ the Son,

    all praise to God the Spirit,

    eternal Three in One!

    Let all the ransomed number

    fall down before the throne,

    and honour, pow'r, and glory

    ascribe to God alone!

    Saviour Like a Shepherd Lead Us


    Saviour, like a shepherd lead us;

    much we need your tender care.

    In your pleasant pastures feed us,

    for our use your fold prepare.

    Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

    you have bought us; we are yours.

    Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

    you have bought us; we are yours.

     

    We are yours; in love befriend us,

    be the guardian of our way;

    keep your flock, from sin defend us,

    seek us when we go astray.

    Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

    hear us children when we pray.

    Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

    hear us children when we pray.

     

    You have promised to receive us,

    poor and sinful though we be;

    you have mercy to relieve us,

    grace to cleanse, and pow'r to free.

    Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

    early let us turn to you.

    Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

    early let us turn to you.

     

    Early let us seek your favour,

    early let us do your will;

    blessed Lord and only Saviour,

    with your love our spirits fill.

    Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

    you have loved us, love us still.

    Blessed Jesus, blessed Jesus,

    you have loved us, love us still.

    COMMUNION SONG 1:
    All the People Said Amen

     

    You are not alone if you are lonely

    When you feel afraid you're not the only

    We are all the same in need of mercy

    To be forgiven and be free

    It's all you got to lean on

    But thank God it's all you need

     

    And all the people said amen whoa

    And all the people said amen

    Give thanks to the Lord for His love never ends

    And all the people said amen

     

    If you're rich or poor well it don't matter

    Weak or strong you know love is what we're after

    We're all broken but we're all in this together

    God knows we stumble and fall

    And He so loved the world

    He sent His son to save us all

     

    Blessed are the poor in spirit who are torn apart

    Blessed are the persecuted and the pure in heart

    Blessed are the people hungry for another start

    For theirs is the kingdom the kingdom of God

     

    And all the people said amen whoa

    And all the people said amen

    Give thanks to the Lord for His love never ends

    And all the people said amen

    God, Be the Love to Search and Keep Me

     

    God, be the love to search and keep me;

    God, be the prayer to move my voice;

    God, be the strength to now uphold me:

    O Christ, surround me;

    O Christ, surround me.

     

    Bind to myself the name of Holy,

    great cloud of witnesses enfold;

    prophets, apostles, angels witness:

    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.

    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!
