*Hymn of the Day ~ LBW No. 567 ~ “God of Our Fathers”

1. God of our fathers, whose almighty hand leads forth in beauty all the starry band of

shining worlds in splendor through the skies: Our grateful songs before your throne

arise.

2. Your love divine has led us in the past; in this free land by you our lot is cast; Oh, be

our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay; your Word our law, your paths our chosen way.

3. From war’s alarms, from deadly pestilence, Make your strong arm our ever sure

defense. Your true religion in our hearts increase; Your bounteous goodness nourish

us in peace.

4. Refresh your people on their toilsome way; Lead us from night to never ending day; Fill

all our lives with heav’n born love and grace Until at last we meet before your face.

*Communion Hymn ~ LBW No. 222 ~ “O Bread of Life from Heaven”

2. O Fount of grace redeeming, O river ever streaming from Jesus’ wounded side: Come

now, you love bestowing on thirsting souls, and flowing till all are fully satisfied.

3. We love you, Jesus, tender, in all your hidden splendor within these means of grace.

Oh, let the veil be riven, and our clear eye in heaven Behold your glory face to face.

*Closing Hymn ~ LBW No. 569 ~ “God Bless Our Native Land”

1. God bless our native land; Firm may it every stand through storm and night. When the

wild tempests rave, ruler of wind and wave, Do thou our country save by thy great might.

2. So shall our prayers arise to God above the skies, on whom we wait. Thou who art ever

nigh, Guarding with watchful eye, To thee aloud we cry: God save the state! *Copyright © 1978 by Lutheran Church of America. All rights reserved.

NICENE CREED

We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father. Through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven; by the power of the Holy Spirit he became incarnate from the virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the Scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son. With the Father and the Son he is worshiped and glorified. He has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.
