All: O for a thousand tongues to sing my great Redeemer's praise, the glories of my God and King, the triumphs of his grace! 

All: My gracious Master and my God, assist me to proclaim,  to spread through all the earth abroad the honors of thy name. 

Women: Jesus! the name that charms our fears,  that bids our sorrows cease; 'tis music in the sinner's ears, 'tis life, and health, and peace. 

Men: He breaks the power of canceled sin, he sets the prisoner free; his blood can make the foulest clean;  his blood availed for me.

All: In Christ, your head, you then shall know, shall feel your sins forgiven; anticipate your heaven below, and own that love is heaven

Almighty God, Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, maker of all things, judge of all people; We acknowledge and bewail our manifold sins and wickedness, which we from time to time most grievously have committed, by thought, word, and deed, against thy divine majesty.

We do earnestly repent, and are heartily sorry for these our misdoings; the remembrance of them is grievous unto us. Have mercy upon us, have mercy upon us, most merciful Father.

For thy Son our Lord Jesus Christ’s sake, forgive us all that is past; and grant that we may ever hereafter serve and please thee in newness of life, to the honor and glory of thy name; through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen

Scripture Reading Luke 7:11-17 Soon afterwards he went to a town called Nain, and his disciples and a large crowd went with him. 12 As he approached the gate of the town, a man who had died was being carried out. He was his mother’s only son, and she was a widow; and with her was a large crowd from the town. 13 When the Lord saw her, he had compassion for her and said to her, “Do not weep.” 

14 Then he came forward and touched the bier, and the bearers stood still. And he said, “Young man, I say to you, rise!” 15 The dead man sat up and began to speak, and Jesus gave him to his mother.16 Fear seized all of them; and they glorified God, saying, “A great prophet has risen among us!” and “God has looked favorably on his people!” 17 This word about him spread throughout Judea and all the surrounding country.

 This is a day of new beginnings, time to remember and move on, time to believe what love is bringing, laying to rest the pain that's gone.

For by the life and death of Jesus, love's mighty Spirit, now as then, can make for us a world of difference, as faith and hope are born again.

Then let us, with the Spirit's daring, step from the past and leave behind our disappointment, guilt and grieving, seeking new paths, and sure to find. 

Christ is alive, and goes before us to show and share what love can do  Christ is alive, and goes before us to show and share what love can do. This is a day of new beginnings -- our God is making all things new.
