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.

Scripture Luke 13:6-9

Sermon

Song God of the Harvest by Larry Olson & Karol Baer 

Chorus

You are God of the seed, 

God of the soil 

God of the hope, 

God of the toil 

You are God of the rain, 

God of the sun 

God of the harvest 

with blessings for everyone 

From the fields 

and the gardens 

come your blessed 

gifts of life 

Colors blossom, 

vines are dancing 

roots uplifted 

with our thanks

From the womb 

of all creation 

springs the fruit, 

the living light 

Grace abundant, 

mercy flowing 

nourishing and 

bringing life

Bridge

Where there is hunger 

where there is need 

may we share your bounty 

may we always see

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
