Come To Me, O Weary Traveler Paul A. Tate/Sylvia Dunstan
Come to me, O weary traveler, come to me with your distress.
Come to me, you heavy burdened, come to me and find your rest.
Do not fear, my yoke is easy, do not fear, my burden's light.
Do not fear the path before you, do not run from me in fright.
Take my yoke and leave your troubles, take my yoke and come with me.
Take my yoke, I am beside you, take and learn humility.
Rest in me, O weary traveler, come to me with your distress.
Rest in me, my heart is gentle, rest and cast away your care.
“In you, O Lord, I take refuge; let me never be put to shame.” (Psalm 71:1)
* Offertory Response #641 “When In Our Music God is Glorified” Fred Green
When in our music God is glorified, and adoration leaves no room for pride,
it is as though the whole creation cried: Alleluia!
Let every instrument be tuned for praise! Let all rejoice who have a voice to raise!
And may God give us faith to sign always: Alleluia!
Anthem Peace I Leave with You Walter Pelz; John 14:27
Peace I leave with you, my peace I give unto you:
Not as the world giveth give I unto you.
Let not your heart be troubled; neither let it be afraid.
“When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil …” (Matthew 21:10)
Gaelic Blessing, John Rutter
Deep peace of the running wave to you
Deep peace of the flowing air to you
Deep peace of the quiet earth to you
Deep peace of the shining stars to you
Deep peace of the gentle night to you
Moon and stars pour their healing light on you
Deep peace of Christ the light of the world to you
Deep peace of Christ to you
