Ordinary Time // Part 1 // Week 3 // June 26-July 2
Now, on land and sea descending,
brings the night its peace profound.
Let our vesper hymn be blending
with the holy calm around.
Soon as dies the sunset glory,
stars of heav’n shine out above,
telling still the ancient story
their Creator’s endless love.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!
Now, our wants and burdens leaving
to our God who cares for all,
cease we fearing, cease we grieving;
touched by God our burdens fall.
Jubilate! Jubilate! Jubilate! Amen!
As the darkness deepens o’er us,
lo! Eternal stars arise.
Hope and faith and love rise glorious,
shining in the Spirit’s skies.
Jubilate! Jubilate!
Jubilate! Amen!
