“Take Up Your Cross, the Savior Said”
INTROIT
Lewis, 1814
Psalm 22.23-24
“Stay with Us”
Taize Chant
CALL TO WORSHIP
L: During Lent our faith is stretched by the realities of life. Fear and anxiety,
as well as confidence and courage, find a place in our soul.
P: Each day is a day closer to a relationship with God. Each day we grow
closer to knowing truth.
L: In worship we raise our voices in praise, knowing that our help comes from
the Lord, who made heaven and earth.
“Come Sing to God”
Verses 1-3
Ellacombe
*PRAYER OF CONFESSION
L: Lord, your love is our strength and stay. In turn our prayer of confession
exhibits our love. Hear our prayer:
All: God of mercy, you are full of tenderness and compassion, slow to anger,
rich in mercy, and always ready to forgive. Grant us grace to renounce
all evil and to cling to Christ, that in every way we may prove to be your
loving children. Turn us from thoughts and behaviors that reinforce the
abuses of the world. Forget our sin and lead us to build up life, celebrate
goodness, and love our neighbors. O hear our prayer:
CONGREGATIONAL INFORMATION
Rev. Heimach
Kyrie Eleison (The cantor will sing a phrase and the people will repeat it.)
*ASSURANCE OF PARDON
L: Though our journey through Lent reminds us of the sorrow and passion of
Christ, we know that this journey ends in the joy of Easter.
P: Christ assures us that sorrow and sin cannot overcome the love of God.
This is the good news of the Gospel. Thanks be to God.
Response
Ellacombe
You changed my grief to joy-filled dance; my sorrows you destroy.
In faithfulness you hear my cry and fill my life with joy.
And so to you my heart shall sing; my voice your goodness raise.
You are my God, forevermore. My life shall sing your praise.

In effect, the first stanza of this paraphrase of Psalm 30 states the general truth that has been learned from the
personal experience described in the last three stanzas. It is set to an 18th-century German tune brought into
use with English hymnody in the 19th century.

Beginning with rather conventional Easter imagery, this text moves into unexpected territory by declaring
that Christ’s Resurrection is for “all whose lives are messed or mangled, all who find religion strange.” The
name of this traditional Welsh melody simply means “lullaby.”

Sometimes this prolific 19th-century hymnwriter wrote texts for others to set, and sometimes she created
words for tunes others had composed. This text was of the second kind, and the resulting close fit between
words and music has made them both popular and inseparable.
