OPENING HYMN

Openning Hymn
         “O Beautiful for Spacious Skies ELW Page 888 (Verses 1, 2, 3)
1. O beautiful for spacious skies,
For amber waves of grain;
For purple mountain majesties
Above the fruited plain!
America! America!
God shed His grace on thee,
And crown thy good with brotherhood,
From sea to shining sea.
2. O beautiful for heroes proved
In liberating strife,
Who more than self their country loved,
And mercy more than life!
America! America!
May God thy gold refine,
Till all success be nobleness,
And every gain divine.
3. O beautiful for patriot dream
That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam,
Undimmed by human tears!
America! America!
God mend thine every flaw,
Confirm thy soul in self control,
Thy liberty in law.  

SERMON HYMN “All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name” ELW Page 634 (Verses 1, 3, 4)
1.All hail the power of Jesus’ name!   Let angels prostrate fall;
Bring forth the royal diadem  And crown him Lord of all.
Bring forth the royal diadem And crown him Lord of all.
3.   Hail him, you heirs of David’s line,  whom David Lord did call-
the God incarnate, man divine-
and crown him Lord of all.
The God incarnate, man divine-
and crown him Lord of all.
4.  Sinners, whose love can ne’er forget  the wormwood and the gall, go spread your trophies at his feet  and crown him Lord of all.
Go spread your trophies at his feet  and crown him Lord of all.  

CLOSING HYMN “Mine Eyes Have Seen the Glory” ELW Page 890 (Verses 1, 2, 3)
1. Mine eyes have seen the glory
of the coming of the Lord;
he is trampling out the vintage
where the grapes of wrath are stored;
he has loosed the fateful lightning
of his terrible swift sword;
his truth is marching on.
Refrain:
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
2. He has sounded forth the trumpet
that shall never call retreat;
he is sifting out the hearts of men
before his judgment seat;
O be swift, my soul, to answer him;
be jubilant, my feet!
Our God is marching on.
 Refrain:
Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
3. In the beauty of the lilies
Christ was born across the sea,
with a glory in his bosom
that transfigures you and me;
as he died to make men holy,
let us live to make men free,
while God is marching on.
(Refrain) Glory, glory, hallelujah! Glory, glory, hallelujah!
Glory, glory, hallelujah! His truth is marching on.
