Ever loving and Gracious God gathered here with our brothers and sisters of like hearts and spirits of one accord, we are grateful for music that brightens our thoughts and reminds us that a brighter day is promised. You are the God of all things, bright, beautiful and new. You are the God who is ever surprising humanity with deeds of wonder, love and grace. Help us to tune in to your ever-presence. You have promised to clothe us with joy. The songs of scripture assure us that even though weeping may linger through the night, joy comes with the morning; joy past grieving, joy beyond sorrow, joy that turns our mourning into dancing. Help us to rejoice now, trusting always in your promises kept. In the name of the Christ we pray. Amen.
