O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
Rolling as a mighty ocean
In its fullness over me.
Underneath me, all around me
Is the current of your love
Leading onward, leading homeward
Leading forth in your wondrous love

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Still holds us in its changeless tide
There is peace that knows no measure
Hope that through every age abides
With your love within us, your love before us,
Your love beneath us and above
Jesus, lead us onward, lead us homeward
Lead us forth in your wondrous love.

O the deep, deep love of Jesus
Vast, unmeasured, boundless, free
O the deep, deep love of Jesus
In its fullness rolling over me

O the deep, deep love
O the deep, deep love

The mighty one,  

God the LORD,

speaks and summons the earth

from the rising of the sun

to its setting.

Out of Zion,

the perfection of beauty, God shines forth.

Be hallow’d this and ev’ry day; let meekness be our morning ray,

And faithful love our noon-day light, our hope, our sunset, calm and bright. 

O Lord, with each returning morn, thine image to our hearts is borne 

Oh may we ever clearly see our Savior and our God in thee.

Lyrics: St. Ambrose, 4th century, translated by Louis F. Benson, with direct scripture quotation of Psalm 50:1 (NRSV)

In the morning before the sun rises

The world lays in silence, and everything seems still.

In the evening, the stillness is motion,

The moon rocks the ocean—lullaby of the whippoorwill.

In each days’ coming, a new world is humming

When our footsteps’ drumming is tuned to your heartbeat.

In our going, God, teach us to follow,

And breathe your love all over sun, and moon, and sea.

And in this ordinary time,

Shape our hearts and change our minds.

Teach us how to love like you,

Who are making all things new,

And when we lose our way,

When we wander astray,

God, find us with your grace in this ordinary time.

In our resting, renew and restore us,

And then set before us all that you’d have us do.

And in this ordinary time,

Shape our hearts and change our minds.

Teach us how to love like you,

Who are making all things new,

And when we lose our way,

When we wander astray,

God, find us with your grace in this ordinary time.

Now, on land and sea descending,

brings the night its peace profound.

Let our vesper hymn be blending 

with the holy calm around.

Soon as dies the sunset glory, 

stars of heav’n shine out above,

telling still the ancient story 

their Creator’s endless love.

Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!

Now, our wants and burdens leaving 

to our God who cares for all, 

cease we fearing, cease we grieving; 

touched by God our burdens fall.

Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!

As the darkness deepens o’er us, 

lo! Eternal stars arise.

Hope and faith and love rise glorious, 

shining in the Spirit’s skies.

Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!

In you, O LORD, I take refuge; 

let me never be put to shame. (In your righteousness) 

deliver me and rescue me; 

incline your ear to me and save me.

Be to me a rock of refuge, 

a strong fortress, to save me,

for you are my rock and my fortress.

Rescue me, O my God,

Psalm 103:1-8

103:1 Bless the LORD, O my soul, 

and all that is within me,

bless his holy name.

103:2 Bless the LORD, O my soul, 

and do not forget all his benefits--

103:3 who forgives all your iniquity, 

who heals all your diseases,

103:4 who redeems your life from the Pit,

who crowns you with steadfast love and mercy,

103:5 who satisfies you with good 

as long as you live 

so that your youth is renewed

renewed like the eagle's.

103:6 The LORD works vindication and justice 

for all who are oppressed.

103:8 The LORD is merciful and gracious, 

slow to anger 

and abounding in steadfast love.

When we don’t know how to pray

Don’t know how to say grace

When our neighbors are hungry and we

Don’t know how to pray

Don’t know how to say grace

God, reach out and fill

God, reach out and fill

Lord, have mercy

Christ, have mercy

Jesus had no place to rest his head

Jesus had no place to rest his head

Jesus had no place to rest his head

Without a house and without a bed

Jesus had no place to rest his head

Jesus said come follow me 

Jesus said come follow me

Share what you have with those in need

Jesus said come follow me 

Jesus sees the hurt and tired

Jesus sees the hurt and tired

With Mary and Martha he sat and cried

Jesus sees the hurt and tired

Jesus loves the meek and low

Jesus loves the meek and low

All who have no place to go

Jesus loves the meek and low 

Jesus washed his disciples feet

Jesus washed his disciples feet

Taught us how to serve, and to follow his lead

Jesus washed his disciples feet

Jesus says come follow me 

Jesus says come follow me

Make a place at the table for my children to eat

Jesus says come follow me 

Jesus had no place to rest his head

Jesus had no place to rest his head

Without a house and without a bed

Jesus had no place to rest his head
