O speak to reassure me, to hasten or control! O speak, and make me listen, O guardian of my soul! 4 O Jesus, you have promised to all who follow you that where you are in glory your servant shall be, too; And, Jesus, I have promised to serve you to the end; O give me grace to follow my Savior and my Friend!

I Come with Joy

The love that made us, makes us one, and strangers now are friends, and strangers now are friends. 4 And thus we meet, and better know the Presence, ever near, And join our hearts and sing with joy that Christ is risen here, that Christ is risen here. 5 Together met, together bound in friendship we will stay, And go with joy to love the world and live the way we pray, and live the way we pray.

Here, in this day's celebration, all we have to give, receive: we, who cannot live without you, we adore you! We believe!
