adapt. Rev. Dr. Nori J. Rost

6. Here in this place new light is streaming,
Verse 1
Here in this place new light is streaming,
now is the darkness vanished away;
see in this place our fears and our dreaming,
brought here to all in the light of this day.

7. Gather us in the lost and forsaken, gather us in no two just the same;
Chorus 1
Gather us in the lost and forsaken,
gather us in no two just the same;
call to us now, and we shall awaken,
we shall arise at the sound of our name.

8. We are the young, our lives are a myst’ry,
Verse 2
We are the young, our lives are a myst’ry,
we are the old with wisdom and grace;
we have been sung throughout all of hist’ry,
called to be light to the whole human race.

9. Gather us in the Buddhist and Pagan,
Chorus 2
Gather us in the Buddhist and Pagan,
Humanist, Atheist join in the throng;
gather us in the Theist and Seeking,
give us the courage to enter the song.

10. Not in the dark of buildings confining,
Verse 3
Not in the dark of buildings confining,
not in some heaven light years away;
here in this place the new light is shining,
now is the moment, now is the day.

11. Gather us in from all tribes and nations,
Chorus 3
Gather us in from all tribes and nations,
gather us in, no one left alone;
gather us in, a great celebration,
fire of love in our flesh and our bones.

21. It is as if families on the run are shattered by something other than just grenades. The flight and fear tears us apart and those parts land in all kinds of places - we don't even know where. But we always try to find them afterwards.
― Henning Mankell, Tea-Bag

Offertory Reading
Terry Schultz
ASUUC Board of Trustees

27. In our hearts we know that with a different fate, we, too, could be in the ranks of the dispossessed, stripped of our identities and belonging nowhere. The refugee becomes a sinister symbol of what can quickly happen once personhood is denied and people are transformed into disposable units of contemptible impediments to the greed or power-mongering of others.
― Dave Mearns, Person-Centered Therapy Today: New Frontiers in Theory and Practice

28. We now have an opportunity to give of our financial resources, so that by our acts of generosity and love, we can be part of the antidote to the greed and power-mongering of others, so that personhood can be restored to those from whom it has been denied.
