CALL TO WORSHIP

GATHERING SONG: ELW 532

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.

Come As You Are

Come out of sadness, from wherever you've been

Come broken hearted Let rescue begin

Come find your mercy Oh sinner come kneel

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal

So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame

All who are broken, Lift up your face

Oh wanderer come home, You're not too far

So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart

Come as you are

There's hope for the hopeless,
and all those who've strayed

Come sit at the table, Come taste the grace

There's rest for the weary, Rest that endures

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't cure

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't cure

So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame

All who are broken, Lift up your face

Oh wanderer come home, You're not too far

So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart

Come as you are, Come as you are

Fall in God’s arms, Come as you are

There's joy for the morning, Oh sinner be still

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal

Earth has no sorrow that heaven can't heal

So lay down your burdens, Lay down your shame

All who are broken, Lift up your face

Oh wanderer come home, You're not too far

So lay down your hurt, Lay down your heart

Come as you are, Come as you are,

Amazing Grace, How Sweet the Sound

Amazing grace! how sweet the sound

that saved a wretch like me!

I once was lost, but now am 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!

Through many dangers, toils, and snares      

I have already come;

'tis grace has brought me safe thus far,

and grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me;

his word my hope secures;

he will my shield and portion be

as long as life endures.

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'd first begun.

Jesus Keep Me Near the Cross

Jesus, keep me near the cross,

there's a precious fountain;

free to all, a healing stream

flows from Calv'ry's mountain.

In the cross, in the cross

be my glory ever;

till my ransomed soul shall find

rest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,

love and mercy found me;

there the bright and morning star

sheds its beams around me. 

In the cross, in the cross

be my glory ever;

till my ransomed soul shall find

rest beyond the river.

Near the cross! O Lamb of God,

bring its scenes before me;

help me walk from day to day

with its shadow o'er me. 

In the cross, in the cross

be my glory ever;

till my ransomed soul shall find

rest beyond the river.

Near the cross I'll watch and wait,

hoping, trusting ever,

till I reach the golden strand

just beyond the river.

In the cross, in the cross

be my glory ever;

till my ransomed soul shall find

rest beyond the river.

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.

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.

let the water and the blood,

from thy riven side which flowed,

be of sin the double cure;

cleanse me from its guilt and pow'r.

Not the labours of my hands

can fulfil thy law's demands;

could my zeal no respite know,

could my tears forever flow,

all for sin could not atone;

thou must save, and thou alone.

Nothing in my hand I bring;

simply to thy cross I cling.

Naked, come to thee for dress;

helpless, look to thee for grace;

foul, I to the fountain fly;

wash me, Saviour, or I die.

While I draw this fleeting breath,

when mine eyelids close in death,

when I soar to worlds unknown,

see thee on thy judgment throne,

your saints have dwelt secure;

Before the hills in order stood

or earth received its frame,

from everlasting you are God,

A thousand ages in your sight

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord,

my rock in whom I trust!"

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

bear you on the breath of dawn,

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.

LAND ACKNOWLEDGEMENT

GATHERING SONG: ELW 803

When I Survey the Wondrous Cross

When I survey the wondrous cross

on which the prince of glory died,

my richest gain I count but loss

and pour contempt on all my pride.

Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast

save in the death of Christ, my God;

all the vain things that charm me most,

I sacrifice them to his blood.

See, from his head, his hands, his feet,

sorrow and love flow mingled down.

Did e'er such love and sorrow meet,

or thorns compose so rich a crown?

Were the whole realm of nature mine,

that were a present far too small;

love so amazing, so divine,

demands my soul, my life, my all.

Text: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748

Create In Me A Clean Heart

Create in me a clean heart, oh God

OFFERING

SONG OF THE DAY: ELW 592

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.

SENDING SONG: ELW 793

Be Thou My Vision

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;

naught be all else to me, save that thou art:

thou my best thought both by day and by night,

waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

Be thou my wisdom, and thou my true word;

I ever with thee and thou with me, Lord.

Thou my soul's shelter, and thou my high tow'r,

raise thou me heav'nward, O Pow'r of my pow'r.

Riches I heed not, nor vain, empty praise,

thou mine inheritance, now and always:

thou and thou only, the first in my heart,

great God of heaven, my treasure thou art.

Light of my soul, after victory won,

may I reach heaven's joys, O heaven's Sun!

Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,

still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
