Trusting in God s grace, let us confess our sin. God of great mercy, we confess that we have sinned against You. You provide our daily bread; still we hunger for other things. You give Your word to guide us; still we surrender to temptation. Forgive us, God of grace. Create a clean heart within us, teach us Your holy way, and restore the joy of salvation, through Jesus Christ our Lord. God s love has been poured into our hearts through the gift of the Holy Spirit. In the name of Jesus Christ, we are forgiven! Thanks be to God.

The Vision of the Congregation: We see ourselves as the embracing arms of Jesus Christ for each other, for the community, and for the world. Welcome to our friends and visitors! We hope that you find our congregation a welcoming one. Your presence enriches our worship of God. Please join us after worship for refreshments and fellowship in our courtyard lobby. There will be an Easter egg hunt in the courtyard after worship on Easter Sunday, Apr. 16. Today is the last day to order Easter plants. The annual Zuni Day in the Country event will be held on Sat., Apr. 22, 2017, from 10 a.m. - 3 p.m. at the Zuni Campus (5279 Homegrown Lane, Zuni, VA).

I. REQUIEM AETERNAM Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine; et lux perpetua luceat eis. Te decet hymnus, Deus in Sion: et tibi reddetur votum in Jerusalem. Exaudi orationem meam, ad te omnis caro veniet. Kyrie eleison. Christe eleison. Kyrie eleison. From Missa pro defunctis Grant them rest eternal, Lord our God, we pray to Thee: and light perpetual shine on them forever. Thou, Lord, art worshipped in Sion; Thy praises shall ever be sung in all Jerusalem. O hear us; O Lord, hear Thy faithful servants prayer; to Thee shall all mortal flesh return. Lord, have mercy. Christ, have mercy. Lord, have mercy. II. OUT OF THE DEEP Out of the deep have I called unto thee, O Lord: Lord, hear my voice. O let Thine ears consider well: the voice of my complaint. If Thou, Lord, wilt be extreme to mark what is done amiss; O Lord, who may abide it? For there is mercy with Thee: therefore shalt Thou be feared. I look for the Lord: my soul doth wait for Him; in His word is my trust. My soul fleeth unto the Lord: before the morning watch, I say, before the morning watch. O Israel, thrust in the Lord, for with the Lord there is a mercy: and with Him is plenteous redemption. And He shall redeem Israel: from all his sins. Psalm 130
III. PIE JESU Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis requiem. Pie Jesu Domine, dona eis sempiternam requiem. From Dies Irae, Missa pro defunctis Blessed Jesus, Lord I pray, in Thy mercy grant them rest. Lord our God, we pray Thee, grant them everlasting rest. IV. SANCTUS Sanctus, Sanctus, Sanctus, Dominus Deus Sabaoth. Pleni sunt caeli et terra gloria tua. Hosanna in excelsis. Benedictus qui venit in nomine Domini. Hosanna in excelsis. From Missa pro defunctis Holy, Holy, Holy Lord, god of power and majesty. Heaven and earth are full of Thy glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord our God. Hosanna in the highest. V. AGNUS DEI Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem. Lamb of God, that takest away the sins of the world: in Thy mercy, grant them rest. Man that is born of a woman hath but a short time to live, and is full of misery. He cometh up, and is cut down like a flower; he fleeth as it were a shadow. Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem. In the midst of life we are in death: of whom may we seek for succor? Agnus Dei, qui tollis peccata mundi, dona eis requiem. I am the resurrection and the life, saith the Lord: he that believeth in Me, though he were dead, yet shall he live: and whosoever liveth and believeth in Me shall never die. Latin text from Missa pro defunctis; English texts from The Burial Service, 1662 Book of Common Prayer
VI. THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD The Lord is my shepherd: therefore can I lack nothing. He shall feed me in a green pasture: and lead me forth beside the waters of comfort. He shall convert my soul: and bring me forth in the paths of righteousness, for His name s sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for Thou art with me; Thy rod and Thy staff comfort me. Thou shalt prepare a table before me against them that trouble me: Thou has anointed my head with oil, and my cup shall be full. But Thy loving-kindness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the Lord forever. VII. LUX AETERNA Psalm 23 I heard a voice from heaven saying unto me, blessed are the dead who die in the Lord, for they rest from their labours: even so saith the Spirit. Lux aeterna luceat eis, Domine: cum sanctis tuis in aeternum, quia pius es. Requiem aeternam dona eis Domine: et lux perpetua luceat eis. Light eternal shine upon them, Lord, we pray: with saints and angels ever dwelling, for Thy mercy s sake, may they rest in peace. Grant them rest eternal, Lord our God, we pray to Thee: and light perpetual shine on them forever.
