While all that borrows life from you is ever in your care, and everywhere that we can be, you, God, are present there. Scripture: Psalm 104 Used With Tune: ELLACOMBE

And did not Jesus sing a Psalm that night when utmost evil strove against the Light? Then let us sing, for whom he won the fight: "Alleluia!" Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise! And may God give us faith to sing always: "Alleluia!" Used With Tune: ENGELBERG

Jesus sought me when a stranger, wandering from the fold of God; he, to rescue me from danger, interposed his precious blood. 3 O to grace how great a debtor daily I'm constrained to be! Let thy goodness, like a fetter, bind my wandering heart to thee. Prone to wander, how I feel it, prone to leave the God I love; here's my heart, O take and seal it, seal it for thy courts above.
