My Lord What a Morning

My Lord, what a morning;

my Lord, what a morning;

oh, my Lord, what a morning,

when the stars begin to fall.

You will hear the trumpet sound,

to wake the nations underground,

looking to my God's right hand,

when the stars begin to fall.

My Lord, what a morning;

my Lord, what a morning;

oh, my Lord, what a morning,

when the stars begin to fall.

You will hear the sinner cry,

to wake the nations underground,

looking to my God's right hand,

when the stars begin to fall.

My Lord, what a morning;

my Lord, what a morning;

oh, my Lord, what a morning,

when the stars begin to fall.

You will hear the Christian shout,

to wake the nations underground,

Beautiful Saviour

Beautiful Saviour,

King of creation,

Son of God and Son of Man!

Truly I'd love thee,

truly I'd serve thee,

light of my soul, my joy, my crown.

Fair are the meadows,

fair are the woodlands,

robed in flow'rs of blooming spring;

Jesus is fairer,

Jesus is purer,

he makes our sorrowing spirit sing.

Fair is the sunshine,

fair is the moonlight,

bright the sparkling stars on high;

Jesus shines brighter,

Jesus shines purer

than all the angels in the sky.

Beautiful Saviour,

Lord of the nations,

Son of God and Son of Man!

Glory and honour,

praise, adoration,

now and forevermore be thine!

COMMUNION SONG 1: ELW 482

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.

Come, Christians, follow where our captain trod,

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

O Lord, once lifted on the glorious tree,

as thou hast promised, draw us all to thee. 

Lift high the cross, the love of Christ proclaim

Hope of a life spent with you.

Oh so highly exalted,

Glorious in heaven above,

Humbly you came to the earth you created.

All for love's sake became poor.

SONG OF THE DAY:

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 Saviour 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 Saviour 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

Blessed assurance, Jesus is mine!

Oh, what a foretaste of glory divine!

Heir of salvation, purchase of God,

born of his Spirit, washed in his blood.

This is my story, this is my song,

praising my Saviour, all the day long:

Perfect submission, perfect delight,

echoes of mercy, whispers of love.

This is my story, this is my song,

Neither Death nor Life

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Dwell in the one who raised Christ from the dead;

though your body shall die, in Christ you shall rise

through the Spirit who brings you to life.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

All who are led by the Spirit shall live

as children of God, and heirs with Christ Jesus,

God's adopted and chosen and loved.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

All of the suff'ring we now must endure

is nothing to the glory so soon to be revealed

when creation itself is set free.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

All of creation awaits the new birth,

the fullness of redemption, through labour pains of love,

and so we wait in patience and hope.

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

Who can separate us from the love of Christ?

Will hardship or distress, persecution or famine,

or nakedness or peril or sword?

Neither death, nor life, nor angels, nor rulers,

nor trials in the present, nor any trial to come,

neither height, nor depth, nor all of creation

can ever separate us  from the love of God

poured out in Christ Jesus, our Lord.

GATHERING SONG: ELW 774

What a Fellowship, What a Joy Divine

What a fellowship, what a joy divine,

leaning on the everlasting arms;

what a blessedness, what a peace is mine,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,

safe and secure from all alarms;

leaning, leaning,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

Oh, how sweet to walk in this pilgrim way,

leaning on the everlasting arms;

oh, how bright the path grows from day to day,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,

safe and secure from all alarms;

leaning, leaning,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

What have I to dread, what have I to fear,

leaning on the everlasting arms?

I have blessed peace with my Lord so near,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

Leaning, leaning,

safe and secure from all alarms;

leaning, leaning,

leaning on the everlasting arms.

OFFERING

SONG OF THE DAY: ELW 423

Shall We Gather at the River

Shall we gather at the river,

where bright angel feet have trod,

with its crystal tide forever

flowing by the throne of God?

Yes, we'll gather at the river,

the beautiful, the beautiful river;

gather with the saints at the river

that flows by the throne of God.

On the margin of the river,

washing up its silver spray,

we will walk and worship ever,

all the happy golden day.

Yes, we'll gather at the river,

the beautiful, the beautiful river;

gather with the saints at the river

that flows by the throne of God.

Ere we reach the shining river,

lay we ev'ry burden down;

grace our spirits will deliver,

and provide a robe and crown.

Yes, we'll gather at the river,

the beautiful, the beautiful river;

gather with the saints at the river

that flows by the throne of God.

Soon we'll reach the shining river,

soon our pilgrimage will cease;

soon our happy hearts will quiver

with the melody of peace.

Yes, we'll gather at the river,

the beautiful, the beautiful river;

gather with the saints at the river

that flows by the throne of God.

SENDING SONG: ELW 632

O God, Our Help in Ages Past

O God, our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come,

our shelter from the stormy blast,

and our eternal home:

Under the shadow of your throne

your saints have dwelt secure;

sufficient is your arm alone,

and our defense is sure.

Before the hills in order stood

or earth received its frame,

from everlasting you are God,

to endless years the same.

A thousand ages in your sight

are like an evening gone,

short as the watch that ends the night

before the rising sun.

Time, like an ever-rolling stream,

bears all our years away;

they fly forgotten, as a dream

dies at the op'ning day.

O God, our help in ages past,

our hope for years to come,

still be our guard while troubles last

and our eternal home.

Text: Isaac Watts, 1674-1748, alt.
