~ EVENSONG • Opening Sentence Yours is the day, O God, yours also the night; you established the moon and the sun. You fixed all the boundaries of the earth; you made both summer and winter. Psalm 74:15,16 • Collect of the Day ~ The Seventh Sunday of Easter O God, the King of glory, you have exalted your only Son Jesus Christ with great triumph to your kingdom in heaven: Do not leave us comfortless, but send us your Holy Spirit to strengthen us, and exalt us to that place where our Savior Christ has gone before; who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, in glory everlasting. Amen. • A Collect for the Presence of Christ Lord Jesus, stay with us, for evening is at hand and the day is past; be our companion in the way, kindle our hearts, and awaken hope, that we may know you as you are revealed in Scripture and the breaking of bread. Grant this for the sake of your love. Amen. • For Mission Keep watch, dear Lord, with those who work, or watch, or weep this night, and give your angels charge over those who sleep. Tend the sick, Lord Christ; give rest to the weary, bless the dying, soothe the suffering, pity the afflicted, shield the joyous; and all for your love’s sake. Amen. • For the Absent O God, whose fatherly care reaches to the uttermost parts of the earth: We humbly beseech you graciously to behold and bless whom we love, now absent from us. Defend them from all dangers of soul and body; and grant that both they and we, drawing nearer to you, may be bound together by your love in the communion of your Holy Spirit, and in the fellowship of your saints; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. • Anthem Libera sings “Eternal Light” Thoughts of love surround you Everywhere around you May your heart discover All the magic and the wonder Inside every moment Deeper than the ocean I just want to show you All the beauty and the glory In this clear eternal light This miracle of light You will never lose your way Because the eternal light will find you And guide you Life is but a journey Tides are always turning Seasons come and go here But youll never be alone here In this clear eternal light This miracle of light You will never lose your way Because the eternal light will find you And guide you every day Ahh, ahh, ahh There are times of long and sleepless nights But I will bring you peace and hope Shining like a rainbow In this clear eternal light This miracle of light You will never lose your way. This eternal light will find you To shine its guiding light on you. In this clear eternal light This miracle of light You will never lose your way This eternal light will find you And guide you in all life Ahh, ahh, ahh Songwriter: Akira Senju Published by UNIVERSAL MUSIC PUBLISHING LTD.
