Opening Ode WE GATHER TOGETHER TO ASK THE LORD'S BLESSING Nederlandtsch Gedenckclanck, 1626 We gather together to ask the Lord's blessing, He chastens and hastens His will to make known; The wicked oppressing now cease from distressing, Sing praises to His name - He forgets not His own. Beside us to guide us, our God with us joining, Ordaining, maintaining His kingdom divine, So from the beginning the fight we were winning; Thou, Lord, wast at our side, all glory be Thine. We all do extol Thee, Thou Leader triumphant, And pray that Thou still our defender wilt be. Let Thy congregation escape tribulation! Thy name be ever praised! O Lord, make us free!   Closing Ode LET THERE BE PEACE ON EARTH Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me Let There Be Peace on Earth The peace that was meant to be With God as our Father Brothers all are we Let me walk with my brother In perfect harmony. Let peace begin with me Let this be the moment now. With ev'ry step I take Let this be my solemn vow; To take each moment and live Each moment in peace eternally Let there be peace on earth And let it begin with me
