Just as I am, though tossed about

with many a conflict, many a doubt,

O Lamb of God, I come, I come.

Just as I am, thou wilt receive,

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.

This is My Song

This is my song,

O God of all the nations,

a song of peace

for lands afar and mine.

This is my home,

the country where my heart is;

here are my hopes, my dreams,

my holy shrine;

but other hearts in other lands

are beating

with hopes and dreams

as true and high as mine.

My country's skies

are bluer than the ocean,

and sunlight beams

on cloverleaf and pine.

But other lands have sunlight too,

and clover,

and skies are ev'rywhere

as blue as mine.

So hear my song,

O God of all the nations,

a song of peace for their land

and for mine.

This is my prayer,

O God of all earth's kingdoms,

your kingdom come;

on earth your will be done.

O God, be lifted up

till all shall serve you,

and hearts united learn to live as one.

So hear my prayer,

O God of all the nations;

myself I give you;

let your will be done.

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.

the triumphs of his grace!

My gracious Master and my God,

assist me to proclaim,

The name of Jesus charms our fears

sings music in the sinner's ears,

brings life and health and peace.

He speaks, and list'ning to his voice,

new life the dead receive;

the mournful, broken hearts rejoice,

Look unto him, your Savior own,

When Long Before Time

When long before time

and the worlds were begun,

when there was no earth

and no sky and no sun,

and all was deep silence

and night reigned supreme,

and even our Maker had only a dream—

The silence was broken

when God sang the Song,

and light pierced the darkness

and rhythm began,

and with its first birth-cries

creation was born,

and creaturely voices

sang praise to the morn.

The sounds of the creatures

were one with their Lord's,

their harmonies sweet

and befitting the Word;

the Singer was pleased

as the earth sang the Song,

the choir of the creatures reechoed it long.

Though down through the ages

the Song disappeared,

its harmonies broken and almost unheard,

the Singer comes to us to sing it again,

our God-is-with-us

in the world now as then.

The Light has returned

as it came once before,

the Song of the Lord

is our own song once more,

so let us all sing with one heart

and one voice

the Song of the Singer in whom we rejoice.

To you, God the Singer,

our voices we raise,

to you, Song Incarnate,

we give all our praise,

to you, Holy Spirit,

our life and our breath,

be glory for ever,

through life and through death.

SENDING SONG

When We Face an Unknown Future

When we face an unknown future that we can't imagine yet,

when the closeness we have treasured

turns from blessing into threat —

As we miss our friends and loved ones, as we crave community,

may we look, God, in this season, for a whole new way to be.

Jesus faced the lonely desert as a time to look within.

There he met such trial and conflict; there he knew you were with him.

In this time of separation when we miss the life we've known,

may we hear your voice proclaiming: "I am here! You're not alone."

May we cherish those around us as we never have before.

May we think much less of profit; may we learn what matters more.

May we hear our neighbors' suffering;

may we see our neighbors' pain.

May we learn new ways of offering life and health and hope again.

God, when illness comes to threaten, and when so much here goes wrong,

may we know this thing for certain — that your love is sure and strong.

You're beside us in our suffering — and when times are surely tough,

we may face an unknown future, but it's filled, Lord, with your love.

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,

my faith, my knowledge all surpass,

but have no love, my gifts are vain

as clanging gong or blaring brass.

For love is patient, love is kind,

and never vain with boasting pride;

love bears all things,

all things endures.

All things must end; love will abide.

For now we peer at darkened glass;

our visions end;

our tongues all cease.

In part we know, in part now see:

then we will see love face to face.

The gifts are many, the Body one,

and into one are all baptized.

Beloved, share one heart, one mind,

one hope, one faith,

one love in Christ.

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.

It is well (it is well)

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.

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.

Here in honesty of preaching,

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.

COMMUNION SONG: ELW 258

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.

SENDING SONG: ELW 659

Will You Let Me Be Your Servant

Will you let me be your servant,

let me be as Christ to you?

Pray that I may have the grace to

let you be my servant, too.

We are pilgrims on a journey,

we are trav'lers on the road;

we are here to help each other

walk the mile and bear the load.

I will hold the Christ-light for you

in the nighttime of your fear;

I will hold my hand out to you,

speak the peace you long to hear.

I will weep when you are weeping;

when you laugh I'll laugh with you.

I will share your joy and sorrow

till we've seen this journey through.

Will you let me be your servant,

let me be as Christ to you?

Pray that I may have the grace to

let you be my servant, too.

GATHERING SONG: ELW 367

Now All the Vault of Heaven Resounds

Now all the vault of heav'n resounds

in praise of love that still abounds:

"Christ has triumphed! He is living!"

Sing, choirs of angels, loud and clear!

Repeat their song of glory here:

"Christ has triumphed! He is living!"

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Eternal is the gift he brings,

therefore our heart with rapture sings:

"Christ has triumphed! He is living!"

Now still he comes to give us life

and by his presence stills all strife.

"Christ has triumphed! He is living!"

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Oh, fill us, Lord, with dauntless love;

set heart and will on things above

that we conquer through your triumph;

grant grace sufficient for life's day

that by our lives we truly say:

"Christ has triumphed! He is living!"

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!

Adoring praises now we bring

and with the heav'nly blessed sing:

"Christ has triumphed! Alleluia!"

Be to the Father, and our Lord,

to Spirit blest, most holy God,

all the glory, never ending!

Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia!
