“Gather the Spirit”
Words & Music: Jim Scott

#347 Singing the Living Tradition
♦
Gather the spirit, harvest the power.
Our separate fires will kindle one flame.
Witness the mystery of this hour.
Our trials in this light appear all the same.
Gather in peace, gather in thanks,
Gather in sympathy now and then.
Gather in hope compassion and strength
Gather to celebrate once again.
Gather the spirit of heart and mind.
Seeds for the sowing are laid in store.
Nurtured in love and conscience refined,
With body and spirit united once more.
Gather in peace, gather in thanks,
Gather in sympathy now and then.
Gather in hope compassion and strength
Gather to celebrate once again.
Gather the spirit, growing in all,
Drawn by the moon and fed by the sun.
Winter to Spring, and Summer to Fall,
The chorus of life resounding as one.
Gather in peace, gather in thanks,
Gather in sympathy now and then.
Gather in hope compassion and strength
Gather to celebrate once again.

“I Wish I Knew How (It Would
Feel to Be Free)”
Words & Music: Dick Dallas and Billy Taylor

#151 Singing the Living Tradition
♦
I wish I knew how it would feel to be free
I wish I could break all these chains holding me
I wish I could say all the things that I should say
Say 'em loud say 'em clear for the whole wide
world to hear
Say 'em loud say 'em clear for the whole wide
world to hear
I wish I could share all the love in my heart
Remove all the bars that still keep us apart
And I wish you could know what it means to be
me
Then you'd see and agree everyone should be
free
Then you'd see and agree everyone should be
free
I wish I could give all I’m longing to give
I wish I could live like I’m longing to live
I wish could do all the things I can do
Though I’m way overdue I’d be starting anew
Though I’m way overdue I’d be starting anew
I wish I could be like a bird in the sky
How sweet it would be if I found I could fly
I'd soar to the sun and look down at the sea
Then I'd sing ‘cause I’d know how it feels to be
free
Then I'd sing ‘cause I’d know how it feels to be
free

“Hope is the Thing with Feathers”
Words: Emily Dickinson (1830-1886), Music: Kenny Potter (b. 1970)
Copyright © 2011 Santa Barbara Music Publishing, Inc; Used with permission
♦
“Hope” is the thing with feathers That perches in the soul And sings the tune without the words And never stops - at all And sweetest - in the Gale - is heard And sore must be the storm That could abash the little Bird
That kept so many warm -
I’ve heard it in the chillest land And on the strangest Sea Yet - never - in Extremity,
It asked a crumb - of me.

Music: Thomas Williams’ Psalmodia Evangelica, 1789

#58 Singing the Living Tradition
♦
Ring out, wild bells, to the wild sky,
The flying cloud, the frosty light:
The year is dying in the night;
Ring out, wild bells, and let him die.
Ring out the old, ring in the new,
Ring, happy bells, across the snow:
The year is going, let him go;
Ring out the false, ring in the true.
Ring out the grief that saps the mind,
For those that here we see no more;
Ring out the feud of rich and poor,
Ring in redress to all mankind.
Ring out false pride in place and blood,
The civic slander and the spite;
Ring in the love of truth and right,
Ring in the common love of good.

Another”

Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of
God; and everyone that loveth is born of God,

He that loveth not knoweth not God, for God is
love.

Benediction

“Life Calls Us On”
Words: Kendyl Gibbons, Music: Jason Shelton
Copyright © 2010; Used with permission
♦
1. Here in reverence now we gather
For the blessings we have known,
With a pledge to one another
That we journey not alone.
Joy and sorrow make us wise,
Kin to all that lives and dies;
Love calls us on, love calls us on.
2. Words and deeds of those before us
Waken here to keep us strong;
Blend our voices in the chorus
Of creation's living song.
Courage bids us lift our eyes
Upward to the shining skies;
Hope calls us on, hope calls us on.
(Benediction)
3. Loyal guides in love and duty
Lead us with a trusted light;
Blest are they whose inward beauty
Shows the path of truth a right.
Honor is their earthly prize;
By their work we realize,
Faith calls us on, faith calls us on.
4. We have shared a radiant hour
When the truth has made us free,
And the spirit's gracious power
Dreamed of good that yet shall be.
Bright the path before us lies.
Joyful pilgrims, now we rise;
Life calls us on, life calls us on.
