8. Lift every voice and sing
till earth and heaven ring, ring with the harmonies of liberty; let our rejoicing rise high
as the listening skies, let it resound loud as the rolling sea. Sing a song full of the faith
that the dark past has taught us, sing a song full of the hope
that the present has brought us; facing the rising sun of our new day begun, let us march on till victory is won.

9. Stony the road we trod,
bitter the chastening rod, felt in the days when hope unborn had died; yet with a steady beat,
have not our weary feet come to the place for which our people sighed? We have come over a way
that with tears has been watered; we have come, treading our path through the blood of the slaughtered, out from the gloomy past,
till now we stand at last where the white gleam of our bright star is cast.

10. God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us
God of our weary years,
God of our silent tears, thou who hast brought us
thus far on the way; thou who hast, by thy might,
led us into the light, keep us forever in the path, we pray. Lest our feet stray from the places,
our God, where we met thee, lest, our hearts drunk with the wine of the world, we forget thee; shadowed beneath thy hand, may we forever stand, true to our God, true to our native land.

11. God our Mother and Father, we come to you as children.
Opening Prayer
Father’s Day / 2 Cor
God our Mother and Father,
we come to you as children.
Be with us as we learn to see one another with new eyes, hear one another with new hearts, and treat one another in a new way. Amen.

31. Scripture Reading Psalm 9:9-20
9 The Lord is a stronghold for the oppressed,     a stronghold in times of trouble. 10 And those who know your name put their trust in you,     for you, O Lord, have not forsaken those who seek you.
11 Sing praises to the Lord, who dwells in Zion.     Declare his deeds among the peoples. 12 For he who avenges blood is mindful of them;     he does not forget the cry of the afflicted.
13 Be gracious to me, O Lord.     See what I suffer from those who hate me;     you are the one who lifts me up from the gates of death, 14 so that I may recount all your praises,     and, in the gates of daughter Zion,     rejoice in your deliverance.

32. Scripture Reading Psalm 9:9-20
15 The nations have sunk in the pit that they made;     in the net that they hid has their own foot been caught. 16 The Lord has made himself known, he has executed
judgment; the wicked are snared in the work of their own
hands. Higgaion. Selah
17 The wicked shall depart to Sheol,     all the nations that forget God.
18 For the needy shall not always be forgotten,     nor the hope of the poor perish forever.
19 Rise up, O Lord! Do not let mortals prevail;     let the nations be judged before you. 20 Put them in fear, O Lord;     let the nations know that they are only human.

33. Scripture Reading 2 Cor 6:1-13
6 1 As we work together with him, we urge you also not to accept the grace of God in vain. 2 For he says, “At an acceptable time I have listened to you, and on a day of salvation I have helped you.” See, now is the acceptable time; see, now is the day of salvation! 3 We are putting no obstacle in anyone’s way, so that no fault may be found with our ministry, 4 but as servants of God we have commended ourselves in every way: through great endurance, in afflictions, hardships, calamities, 5 beatings, imprisonments, riots, labors, sleepless nights, hunger; 6 by purity, knowledge, patience, kindness, holiness of spirit, genuine love,

34. Scripture Reading 2 Cor 6:1-13
7 truthful speech, and the power of God; with the weapons of righteousness for the right hand and for the left; 8 in honor and dishonor, in ill repute and good repute. We are treated as impostors, and yet are true; 9 as unknown, and yet are well known; as dying, and see—we are alive; as punished, and yet not killed; 10 as sorrowful, yet always rejoicing; as poor, yet making many rich; as having nothing, and yet possessing everything. 11 We have spoken frankly to you Corinthians; our heart is wide open to you. 12 There is no restriction in our affections, but only in yours. 13 In return—I speak as to children—open wide your hearts also.

Come, ye disconsolate,
Where’er ye languish,
Come to the mercy seat,
Fervently kneel.
Here bring your wounded hearts,
Here tell your anguish.
Earth has no sorrows
That Heav’n cannot heal.
Joy of the desolate,
Light of the straying,
Hope of the penitent,
Fadeless and pure!
Here speaks the Comforter,
Tenderly saying,
“Earth has no sorrows
that Heav’n cannot cure.”
