Prelude

Welcome & Introduction

Opening Hymn - Be Thou My Vision - CP # 505

Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;

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

Thou my best thought, by day or by night,

waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.

 

Be thou my wisdom, be thou my true word;

I ever with thee, and thou with me, Lord.

Born of thy love, thy child may I be, 

thou in me dwelling and I one with thee.

 

Riches I heed not, nor vain empty praise;

thou mine inheritance, now and always.

Thou and thou only, first in my heart,

Ruler of heaven, my treasure thou art.

 

True Light of heaven, when vict’ry is won

may I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heav’n’s Sun!

Heart of my heart, whatever befall,

still be my vision, O Ruler of all.

 

The Grace

The grace of our Lord Jesus Christ, and the love of God, and the fellowship of the Holy Spirit, be with you all.  And also with you.

 

Kyrie Confession (from Common Worship)

You raise the dead to life in the Spirit:

Lord, have mercy. 

Lord, have mercy.

 

You bring pardon and peace to the broken in heart:

Christ, have mercy.

Christ, have mercy.

 

You make one by your Spirit the torn and divided:

Lord, have mercy.

Lord, have mercy.

 

A moment of silence for personal confession.

 

Absolution

 

May the God of love and power

Forgive you and free you from your sins,

Heal and strengthen you by the Spirit,

And raise you to new life in Christ our Lord.  Amen.

 

Collect Prayer

 

God of glory and might, speak to us with your wisdom, that we might truly hear you.  Display your majesty, that we might truly see you.  Transform the chaos of our lives with the clarity of your call, that we might worship you in spirit and in truth.  Amen.

Hymn - The King of Love My Shepherd Is - CP #520

 

The King of love my Shepherd is,

  Whose goodness faileth never;

I nothing lack if I am His,

  And He is mine forever.

 

Where streams of living water flow

  My ransomed soul He leadeth,

And, where the verdant pastures grow,

  With food celestial feedeth.

 

Perverse and foolish oft I strayed,

  But yet in love He sought me,

And on His shoulder gently laid,

  And home rejoicing brought me.

 

In death’s dark vale I fear no ill

  With Thee, dear Lord, beside me;

Thy rod and staff my comfort still,

  Thy Cross before to guide me.

 

Thou spread’st a table in my sight;

  Thy unction grace bestoweth;

And oh, what transport of delight

  From Thy pure chalice floweth!

 

And so through all the length of days

  Thy goodness faileth never;

Good Shepherd, may I sing Thy praise

  Within Thy house forever.

 

 

Prayers of the People - (With thanks to Susan Van Tijn)

 

Lord’s Prayer

 

Our Father in heaven,

Hallowed be your name,

Your kingdom come,

Your will be done,

On earth as in heaven.

Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sins

As we forgive those who sin against us.

Save us from the time of trial,

And deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power,

And the glory are yours,

Now and forever.  Amen.

 

Benediction

Blessed by God’s wisdom, we go forth refreshed and renewed.

Called by Christ, we go now to serve.

Amazed by God’s love, we go now to love.

 

Blessing

 

Closing Hymn - I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say - CP #508

I heard the voice of Jesus say, 

“Come unto me and rest.

Lay down, O weary one, 

lay down your head upon my breast.”

I came to Jesus as I was, 

so weary, worn, and sad.

I found in him a resting place,

and he has made me glad.

 

2 I heard the voice of Jesus say, 

“Behold, I freely give 

the living water, thirsty one; 

stoop down and drink and live.”

I came to Jesus, and I drank 

of that life-giving stream.

My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,

and now I live in him.

 

3 I heard the voice of Jesus say,

“I am the dawning light.

Look unto me, your morn shall rise,

and all your day be bright.”

I looked to Jesus, and I found 

in him my star, my sun,

and in that light of life I’ll walk 

till trav’ling days are done.
