Song Evening Hymn from Mountain Vespers by Kent Gustavson
Joyous light of glorious God
Heavenly Holy Jesus Christ
We have come to the setting of the sun,
and we look to the evening light.
We sing to Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,
Our voices pure together.
O precious, God Giver of life.
we sing your praises forever.

Sermon
Song Mercy on this Fallen World by Larry Olson and Hans Peterson
Chorus:
Have mercy
on this fallen world
Have mercy on us
Have mercy
on this fallen world
Mercy, Lord have mercy on us
For all of the days that
have fallen apart,
have mercy
For every life,
for every heart,
have mercy
For all those who hunger
and struggle each day,
have mercy
For all of the times
that we turn away
For all who have fears
that come with the night,
have mercy
For all those who need
to be held in the light,
have mercy
For all of creation
through famine or feast,
have mercy
For all of the world
to live in your peace

Prayer Song O God of Life By Brian Schroeder
O God of Life
All that is good is you
All that delights is you
All that gives life is you
O God of Life
You take delight in us
We see your life in us
How you reside with us
Pre Chorus:
Come on, come on
Everything that grows
Come on, come on
Everything that knows
Come on, come on
And join in the song of life
Chorus:
O God of life, we praise you
O God of life, we raise a song
to you in gratitude
O God of life, we worship
O God of life, we turn our hearts
to you in gratitude
O God of life
All the earth sings to you
Creation, it rings with you
New life, it springs from you
O God of life
You celebrate it all
With great joy, you made it all
With love, you sustain it all
And all shall be well

Song Prayer of Good Courage from Mountain Vespers by Kent Gustavson
O God, you have called us
To ventures where
we cannot see the end
By paths never yet taken
Through perils unknown
Give us good courage
Not knowing where we go
To know that your
hand is leading us
Wherever we might go
Amen
