(Chorus:)
Gather in peace, gather in thanks. Gather in sympathy now and then.
Gather in hope, compassion and strength. Gather to celebrate once again.

1. Gather the spirit, harvest the power. Our sep’rate fires will kindle one flame.
Witness the mystery of this hour. Our trials in this light appear all the same.   (Chorus)

2. 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.  (Chorus)

(Instrumental Interlude)

3. 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.  (Chorus)

What wondrous love is this that brings my heart such bliss,
and takes away the pain of my soul, of my soul, and takes away the pain of my soul.

2. When I was sinking down, sinking down, sinking down, when I was sinking down, sinking down,
when I was sinking down beneath my sorrows ground,
friends to me gather’d round, O my soul, O my soul, friends to me gather’d round, O my soul.

3. To love and to all friends I will sing, I will sing, to love and to all friends I will sing.
To love and to all friends who pain and sorrow mend,
with thanks unto the end I will sing, I will sing, with thanks unto the end I will sing.

Postlude: Link to Video        “Art Thou Troubled?”    G.F.Handel    performed by the Vancouver Youth Choir Junior and Kids

Art thou troubled? Music will calm thee. Art thou weary? Rest shall be thine.
Music, source of all gladness heals thy sadness at her shrine.
Music, music ever divine. Music, music calleth with voice divine.

When the welcome spring is smiling, all the earth with flow’rs beguiling after winter’s dreary reign,
Sweetest music doth attend her, heavenly harmonies doth lend her, chanting praises in her train.

Welcome and Chalice Lighting    

Opening Words      “Great Green Goodness”  

Hymn          #207   “Earth Was Given As A Garden”

Earth was given as a garden, cradle for humanity;
Tree of life and tree of knowledge placed for our discovery.
Here was home for all your creatures born of land and sky and sea;
All created in your image, all to live in harmony.

Show to us again the garden where all life flows fresh and free.
Gently guide your sons and daughters into full maturity.
Teach us how to trust each other, how to use for good our power,
How to touch the earth with rev’rence. Then once more will Eden flower.

Bless the earth and all your children, one creation: make us whole,
Interwoven, all connected, planet wide and inmost soul.
Holy mother, life bestowing, bid our waste and warfare cease.
Fill us all with grace o’erflowing. Teach us how to live in peace.

Welcome and Opening Words 

Song             “Morning Has Broken”               Joe McDonald

Morning has broken, like the first morning,
Blackbird has spoken like the first bird.
Praise for the singing! Praise for the morning!
Praise for them, springing fresh from the Word!

Sweet the rain’s new fall sunlit from heaven, 
Like the first dewfall on the first grass.
Praise for the sweetness of the wet garden,
Sprung in completeness where God’s feet pass.

Mine is the sunlight! Mine is the morning
Born of the one light Eden saw play!
Praise with elation, praise every morning,
God’s re-creation of the new day!
