Arise, your light has come! The mountains burst in song! Rise up like eagles on the wing, God s pow r will make us strong. The Nicene Creed ELW Page 104 We believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, seen and unseen. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, True God from true God, begotten, not made, of one being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate of the Holy Spirit and the virgin Mary and became fully human. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day he rose again in accordance with the scriptures; he ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the

5 prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic church. We acknowledge one baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come.

Communion Hymn On Eagle s Wings.ELW #787 You who dwell in the shelter of the Lord, who abide in this shadow for life, say to the Lord: My refuge, my rock in whom I trust! And he will raise you up on eagle s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand. The snare of the fowler will never capture you, and famine will bring you no fear; under God s wings your refuge, with faithfulness your shield.

7 And he will raise you up on eagle s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand. You need not fear the terror of the night, nor the arrow that flies by day; though thousands fall about you, near you it shall not come. And he will raise you up on eagle s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand. For to the angels God s given a command to guard you in all of your ways; upon their hands they will bear you up lest you dash your foot against a stone. And he will raise you up on eagle s wings, bear you on the breath of dawn, make you to shine like the sun, and hold you in the palm of his hand. And hold you, hold you in the palm of his hand.
