Anthem As the Dark Awaits the Dawn Carl Schalk
text Susan Palo Cherwein
As the dark awaits the dawn
So we await your light
O Star of promise, scatter night
Loving bright, loving bright
Till shades of fear are gone
As the blue expectant hour
Before the silv’ring skies
We long to see your day arise
Whole and wise, whole and wise
O lucent Morning Star
As the moon reflects the sun
Until the night’s decrease
May we your healing light release
Living peace, living peace
Unto your holy dawn
Shine your future on this place
Enlighten ev’ry guest
That through us stream your holiness
Bright and blest, bright and blest
Come dawn, O Sun of grace
Anthem Where There is Love Karen Crane / Summer Choir
Tina Egan, viola
Where there is love, doors are opened,
Hope restored and fears released.
Where there is love, the path is clear.
O let the light of love live in me.
Where there is love, hearts are mended,
Grace bestowed and souls redeemed.
Where there is love, we can begin.
O let the light of love live in me.
O let God’s love flow through me like the air I breathe,
Every word that I say be a testament of grace.
In my song, through my prayer, love will flourish there.
Love will heal and restore,
Let me shine love’s light evermore.
Where there is love chains are broken,
Spirits soar, and hearts set free
Where there is love all things are possible.
O let the light of love live in me.
Let there be love.
Anthem In This Place Carl Meyer / Summer Choir
There is a welcome for the weary;
There is a rest, for it is here we
Find the power of our family’s healing love;
For as Christ has welcomed all by grace,
There is a welcome in this place.
There is a healing for the hurting;
There is a balm, for it is certain
That our God who feels our pain is here to heal;
For as God has healed us all by grace,
There is a healing in this place.
There is a comfort for our sorrow;
There is a hope for each tomorrow.
God’s compassion reaches to our needs;
For as Christ brings comfort through God’s grace,
There is a welcome, healing, peace, in this place.
