Hymn of Light

ELW #230 Joyous Light of Glory

Joyous light of glory, shine among your people; show us the loving face of God on high.

Jesus Christ our Savior, bring us here together as setting sun gives way to evening light.

We sing to God, Father, Son, and Sprit, Worthy of praise forever and ever. O Son of God, you give us life eternal; The universe proclaims your glory.

Joyous light of glory, shine among your people; show us the loving face of God on high.

Thanksgiving for Light

Behold, now is the accept- ^| able time;
now is the day ^| of salvation.

Turn us again, O God of ^| our salvation,
that the light of your face may ^| shine on us.

May your justice shine ^| like the sun;
and may the poor be ^| lifted up.

Victory for God’s anointed

Song – Week of Lent 5

ELW #416 At the name of Jesus

1 At the name of Jesus ev’ry knee shall bow, ev’ry tongue confess him king of glory now. It is God’s good pleasure we should call him Lord, who from the beginning was the mighty Word.

2 At his voice creation sprang at once to sight, all the angel faces, all the hosts of light, thrones and dominations, stars upon their way, all the heav’nly orders in their great array.

3 Humbled for a season, to receive a name from the lips of sinners unto whom he came, faithfully he bore it spotless to the last; brought it back victorious when from death he passed.

4 In your hearts enthrone him; there let him subdue all that is not holy, all that is not true. Crown him as your captain in temptation’s hour; let his will enfold you in its light and pow’r.

5 Christians, this Lord Jesus shall return again on the clouds of glory, with his angel train; for all wreaths of empire meet upon his brow, and our hearts confess him king of glory now.
