Entrance Hymn
Gather Us In
Verse 1
Here in this place 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 nameVerse 3
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
Offertory Hymn
We Walk By Faith
Verse 1
We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
Of Him who spoke as none ne'er spoke,
But we believe him near.Verse 2
We may not touch His hands and side,
Nor follow where He trod;
Yet in His promise we rejoice,
And cry, "My Lord and God!"Verse 3
Help then, O Lord, our unbelief,
And may our faith abound;
To call on you when you are near,
And seek where you are found.Verse 4
That when our life of faith is done,
In realms of clearer light,
We may behold you as you are,
With full and endless sight.Verse 5
We walk by faith, and not by sight;
No gracious words we hear
Of Him who spoke as none ne'er spoke,
But we believe him near.
