Order of Service: - Prelude: Christus, der ist mein Leben, arr. Jacob B. Weber (BLC '10) - Just Like a Deer - Joncas: Soloist: When will I come to the end of my pilgrimage and enter the presence of God? When will I come to the end of my pilgrimage and enter the presence of God? Congregation: When will I come to the end of my pilgrimage... S: Just like a deer longs for the stream, so do I long for you, my God. My heart and soul are thirsting for you, longing for you, my God. C: When will I come to the end of my pilgrimage... S: Tears are my food nightfall and dawn. “Where is your God?” I hear all day long. All I recall as I pour out my soul are the songs of the house of the Lord. C: When will I come to the end of my pilgrimage... S: Why so cast down, why bitter, my soul? Why do you mourn? Why do you groan? Hope in the Lord: count on his Word; trust in the Lord your God. C: When will I come to the end of my pilgrimage... - Psalm 136: 1-4, 23-26: Oh, give thanks to the LORD, for He is good! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of gods! For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the Lord of lords! For His mercy endures forever: To Him who alone does great wonders, For His mercy endures forever; …Who remembered us in our lowly state, For His mercy endures forever; And rescued us from our enemies, For His mercy endures forever; Who gives food to all flesh, For His mercy endures forever. Oh, give thanks to the God of heaven! For His mercy endures forever. - Hymn 63 - Now Thank We All Our God - Devotion - Prayer - Hymn 602 - God Bless Our Native Land - Blessing - Postlude Service Participants: Rev.
