Music for the 13th Sunday after Pentecost: August 30, 2020

 

Opening Voluntary Will You Come and Follow Me (Kelvingrove)

setting, David Lasky 

Gathering Hymn Let Us Ever Walk with Jesus (Lasset uns min Jesu ziehen) ELW 802 

Hymn of the Day Would I Have Answered When You Called (Kingsfold)

This hymn is not in Evangelical Lutheran Worship. The text is by Herman G. Stuempfle, Jr. (1923-2007). He wrote some 550 hymns, eight of which are in ELW. 

Sending Hymn Jesus Still Lead On (Seelenbräutigam) ELW 624 

Closing Voluntary Fanfare on “Helmsley”                                               Karl Osterland

I know what you’re thinking – “An Advent Hymn at the end of August?” The last verse of the gospel reading begins with “For the Son of Man is to come with his angels in the glory of his Father. . .” Few hymns give us a better vision of this text than Charles Wesley’s “Lo! He Comes with Clouds Descending.” I tried to find other pieces to finish the service, but I kept coming back to this.
