(Red #465)1 Precious Lord, take my hand,Lead me on, help me stand,I am tired, I am weak, I am worn;Through the storm, through the night,Lead me on to the light:Take my hand, precious Lord,Lead me home.2 When my way grows drear,Precious Lord, linger near,When my life is almost gone,Hear my cry, hear my call,Hold my hand lest I fall:Take my hand, precious Lord,Lead me home.3 When the darkness appearsAnd the night draws near,And the day is past and gone,At the river I stand,Guide my feet, hold my hand:Take my hand, precious Lord,Lead me home.Jesus the Light of the World Calls Us to JusticeExodus 25:31-40A Reflection on Creation’s LightLeviticus 24:1-4A Reflection on Constant LightI Will Light Candles by Howard ThurmanA Reflection on Continual LightWe’ve Come This Far By Faith (Red #341)We've come this far by faithLeaning on the LORDTrusting in His Holy WordHe’s never failed us yetOh' can't turn aroundWe've come this far by faithDon't be discouragedWith troubles in your lifeHe’ll bear your burdensAnd remove all misery and strifeThe Holy Spirit’s Fire Equips Us to do JusticeA Pastoral Prayer for the Church- by Dr. Martin Luther King Jr.Benediction from I Thessalonians 5Lift Every Voice and Sing (Red #44)1 Lift every voice and singTill earth and heaven ring,Ring with the harmonies of Liberty;Let our rejoicing riseHigh 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 begunLet us march on till victory is won.2 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 feetCome to the place for which our fathers 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 lastWhere the white gleam of our bright star is cast.3 God of our weary years,God of our silent tears,Thou who has brought us thus far on the way;Thou who has 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. ................
