Gathering Hymn

Gathered here in the mystery of the hour

Gathered here in one strong body.

Gathered here in the struggle and the power.

Spirit, draw near.

Covenant

Love is the doctrine of this church.     

The quest of truth is its sacrament,

And service is its prayer.

To dwell together in peace;

To seek knowledge in freedom;

To serve humankind in fellowship;

Thus do we covenant with each other.

Hymn of Praise

From all that dwell below the skies

Let songs of hope and faith arise

Let peace, good will on earth be sung

Through every land, by every tongue.                  ~ based on Isaac Watts

Go now in peace, go now in peace,

Sung Response

Sung to the tune of
“We Are Climbing Jacob’s Ladder”

On and on the circle’s moving (3x), sisters, brothers, all.

Every round a generation (3x), brightening our world.

If I stumble, will you help me? (3x) We are climbing on.

Strong is what we make each other (3x), sisters, brothers, all.
