Opening Hymn

"Gather the Spirit"

#347 in Singing the Living Tradition


Gather the spirit, harvest the power.

Our sep'rate fires will kindle one flame.

Witness the mystery of this hour.

Our trials in this light appear all the same.


Gather in peace, gather in thanks.

Gather in sympathy now and then.

Gather in hope, compassion and strength.

Gather to celebrate once again.


Gather the spirit of heart and mind.

Seeds for the sowing are laid in store.

Nurtured in love and conscience refined,

With body and spirit united once more.


Gather in peace, gather in thanks.

Gather in sympathy now and then.

Gather in hope, compassion and strength.

Gather to celebrate once again.


Gather the spirit growing in all,

Drawn by the moon and fed by the sun.

Winter to spring, and summer to fall,

The chorus of life resounding as one.


Gather in peace, gather in thanks.

Gather in sympathy now and then.

Gather in hope, compassion and strength.

Gather to celebrate once again.

And love of the light in each other
