T In Nomine Jesu T The congregation stands and faces the processional cross. Processional Hymn Come, Holy Ghost, Creator Blest (LSB 498; LW 158) 1. All Come, Holy Ghost, Creator blest, And make our hearts Your place of rest; Come with Your grace and heav nly aid, And fill the hearts which You have made. 2. Choir Come, Holy Ghost, our souls inspire, Ignite them with celestial fire; Spirit of God, You have the art Your gifts, the sev'nfold, to impart. 3. All To You, the Counselor, we cry, To You, the gift of God Most High; The fount of life, the fire of love, The soul s anointing from above. 4. Women Your blest outpouring from above Is comfort, life, and fire of love. Illumine with perpetual light The dullness of our blinded sight. 5. Choir In You, with graces sevenfold, We God s almighty hand behold While You with tongues of fire proclaim To all the world His holy name. 6. All Anoint and cheer our much-soiled face With the abundance of Your grace. Keep far our foes; give peace at home; Where You guide us, no ill can come. 7. Choir Your light to ev ry thought impart, And shed Your love in ev ry heart; The weakness of our mortal state With deathless might invigorate. 8. Men Drive far away our wily foe, And Your abiding peace bestow; With You as our protecting guide, No evil can with us abide. 9. All Teach us to know the Father, Son, And You, from both, as Three in One That we Your name may ever bless And in our lives the truth confess. 10. All Praise we the Father and the Son And Holy Spirit, with them One, And may the Son on us bestow The gifts that from the Spirit flow! 2

Canticle Song of Moses and Israel (LSB 925) The refrain is sung by the choir and immediately repeated by the congregation. The verses are sung antiphonally between choir and congregation, with the refrain sung by all where indicated. The LORD is my strength and my song,* and He has become my sal- vation; 4 this is my God, and I will praise Him,* my father s God, and I will ex- alt Him. Refrain The LORD is a man of war;* the LORD is His name. Pharaoh s chariots and his host He cast in- to the sea,* and his chosen officers were sunk in the Red Sea. The floods covered them;* they went down into the depths like a stone. Your right hand, O LORD, glorious in power,* Your right hand, O LORD, shatters the enemy. Refrain Who is like You, O LORD, a- mong the gods?* Who is like You, majestic in holiness, awesome in glorious deeds, doing wonders? You stretched out Your right hand;* the earth swallowed them. You have led in Your steadfast love the people whom You have redeemed;* You have guided them by Your strength to Your ho- ly abode. You will bring them in and plant them on Your own mountain,* the place, O LORD, which You have made for Your abode, the sanctuary, O LORD, which Your hands have es- tablished.* The LORD will reign forever and ever. Glory be to the Father and to the Son* and to the Holy Spirit; as it was in the be- ginning,* is now, and will be forever. Amen. Refrain
