INTROIT Christ Be Beside Me James Quinn Christ be beside me; Christ be before me; Christ be behind me, King of my heart. Christ be within me; Christ be below me; Christ be above me, never to part. Christ on my right hand, Christ on my left hand, Christ all around me, shield in the strife. Christ in my sleeping, Christ in my sitting, Christ in my rising, light of my life. Christ be in all hearts thinking about me; Christ be on all tongues telling of me. Christ be the vision in eyes that see me; in ears that hear me Christ ever be.

ANTHEM Your Word Went Forth Sally Morris and Herman Stuempfle Your Word went forth and light awoke. The darkness fled; bright day was born and swiftly sped across primeval earth. It was creation’s morn. Your Word went forth and shot a flame of light from light. Our flesh it wore and walked among us in this darkened world, creation to restore. Your Word goes forth, and light erupts from kindled speech and ancient page, your Spirit’s fire igniting human words to lighten, to lighten every age. Send forth your Word, your silence break. Shine in this time in which our night is terror torn by dreams of fiery death. Come, be our light. Come, be our life, our light. Come, be our life, our light.
