PRAYER OF CONFESSION

Gracious Lord, We know your promise to be with us,to never leave or forsake us,to abide in us.

Yet we forget this.

We live hurried lives and fail to see you. We press ahead with our agenda and fail to hear you. We work hard, but we fail to rest in you.Forgive us. Open our eyes, open our ears, open our hearts.May we slow to see and trust you once again. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.

SOLO Come, Thou Fount of Every Blessing arr. John WyethKari Craig, alto

Come, Thou Fount of every blessing, tune my heart to sing Thy grace; streams of mercy, neverceasing, call for songs of loudest praise. Teach me some melodious sonnet, sung by flaming tongues above; praise the mount Im fixed upon it mount of Thy redeeming love.

Here I raise my Ebenezer, hither by Thy help I come; and I hope, by Thy good pleasuresafely to arrive at home. Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; He, to rescue me from danger, interposed His precious blood.

SOLO

At the River arr. Aaron Copland, 1900-199Kari Craig, alto

Shall we gather by the river, where bright angels feet have trod, with its crystal tide forever flowing by the throne of God? Yes, well gather by the river, the beautiful river, gather with the saints by the river that flows by the throne of God.

Soon well reach the shining river, soon our pilgrimage will cease, soon our happy hearts will quiver with the melody of peace. Yes, well gather by the river, the beautiful river, gather with the saints by the river that flows by the throne of God.
