FRIDAY

March 30, 2018 7:00 p.m., Sanctuary

PRELUDE | Saraband (In Modo Elegiaco) | Herbert Howells, composer O God of Love | John Corigliano, composer Chris Widomski, organ WELCOME CALL TO WORSHIP Lord, make me an instrument of Thy peace; where there is hatred let me sow love; where there is injury, pardon; where there is doubt, faith; where there is despair, hope; where there is darkness, light; and where there is sadness, joy.

O Divine Master, grant that I may not so much seek to be consoled, as to console; to be understood, as to understand; to be loved, as to love; for it is in giving that we receive, it is in pardoning that we are pardoned, and it is in dying that we are born to eternal life.

OPENING HYMN | When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 298 | Hamburg 3 See, from his head, his hands, his feet, 1 When I survey the wondrous cross sorrow and love flow mingled down. on which the Prince of Glory died; Did e’er such love and sorrow meet, my richest gain I count but loss, or thorns compose so rich a crown. and pour contempt on all my pride.

2 Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; all the vain things that charm me most, I sacrifice them to his blood.

4 Were the whole realm of nature mine, that were an offering far too small; love so amazing, so divine, demands my soul, my life, my all.

MUSIC | Stay With Us Egil Hovland, composer Stay with us, Lord Jesus, stay with us.

Stay with us, it soon is evening.

Stay with us, Lord Jesus, stay with us, it soon is evening and night is falling.

Jesus Christ, the world’s true light!

Shine so the darkness cannot overcome it!

Stay with us, Lord Jesus, it soon is evening.

Stay with us, Lord Jesus, for night is falling.

Let your light pierce the darkness and fill your church with its glory.

READING MUSIC | Spiegel im Spiegel Arvo Pärt, composer | Craig Leffer, cello; Dr. Jonathan Gregoire, piano READING

MUSIC | And So It Goes Billy Joel, composer | Nate Lucena, soloist In every heart there is a room, A sanctuary safe and strong, To heal the wounds from lovers past, Until a new one comes along.

But if my silence made you leave Then that would be my worst mistake.

So I will share this room with you And you can have this heart to break.

I spoke to you in cautious tones, You answered me with no pretense, And still I feel I said too much, My silence is my self defense.

And this is why my eyes are closed, It’s just as well for all I’ve seen.

And so it goes, and so it goes, And you’re the only one who knows.

And every time I’ve held a rose It seems I only felt the thorns.

And so it goes, and so it goes, And so will you soon I suppose.

So I would choose to be with you, That’s if the choice were mine to make.

But you can make decisions too, And you can have this heart to break.

READING

And so it goes, and so it goes, And you’re the only one who knows.

MUSIC | Kyrie Ola Gjeilo, composer | Chancel Choir Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison.

Lord have mercy. Christ have mercy. Lord have mercy.

READING MUSIC | That Lonesome Road James Taylor, composer | Taylor Davis, arranger | Nate Lucena and Sarah Brammer, soloists Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself, Don’t turn your head back over your shoulder, And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon Is shining high above the trees.

If I had stopped to listen once or twice, If I had closed my mouth and opened my eyes, If I had cooled my head and warmed my heart, I’d not be on this road tonight.

Carry on.

Never mind feeling sorry for yourself.

It doesn’t save you from your troubled mind.

Walk down that lonesome road all by yourself, Don’t turn your head back over your shoulder, And only stop to rest yourself when the silver moon Is shining high above the trees.

MEDITATION | Rev. Arthur Jones READING

MUSIC | One Moment More Mindy Smith, composer | Taylor Davis, arranger | Nate Lucena, soloist Hold me, even though I know you’re leaving, And show me all the reasons you would stay.

It’s just enough to feel your breath on mine To warm my soul and ease my mind.

You’ve got to hold me and show me love.

Give me just one part of you to cling to And keep me everywhere you are.

It’s just enough to steal my heart and run And fade out with the fooling sun.

Oh, please don’t go. Let me have you just one moment more.

Oh, all I need, all I want is just one moment more.

You’ve got to hold me and keep me now.

Tell me that someday you’ll be returning And maybe, maybe I’ll believe.

It’s just enough to see a shooting star To know you’re never really far.

It’s just enough to see a shooting star To know you’re never really gone.

Oh, please don’t go. Let me have you just one moment more.

Oh, all I need, all I want is just one moment more.

Oh, please don’t go. Let me have you just one moment more.

Oh, all I need, all I want is just one moment more.

You’ve got to hold me and maybe I’ll believe.

So hold me, even though I know you’re leaving.

Te mane laudum carmine, te deprecemur vespere: te nostra supplex gloria per cuncta laudet saecula.

Please depart in silence.
