HYMN OF THE DAY In All Our Grief (Fredericktown)
ELW 615
Many people will recognize "Lord, have mercy, Christ, have mercy" as words that are borrowed from the Kyrie. Interestingly, "grant us peace" is also borrowed from part of the liturgy - the Agnus Dei (Lamb of God) - which is sung as we come to the communion table.

SENDING HYMN Build a Longer Table (Noel Nouvelet)
ACS 1062
"If you have more than you need," says a popular proverb, "it's better to build a longer table than a taller fence." In this proverb, hymnwriter David Bjorlin heard a resonance with the obstacles that refugees often meet when seeking safety far from their countries of origin. Bjorlin's text uses the love of Christ as its model in calling us to respond to refugees with long tables, wide doorways, and safe refuges rather than with violence and exclusion. (from Sundays and Seasons)
This familiar tune began it's life in France as a Christmas carol. We probably associate it more closely with Easter and the text "Now the green blade rises."

CLOSING VOLUNTARY Oh, Love, How Deep (Deo Gracias)
setting, Stephen Gabrielsen
The text of this hymn was sung by the Festival Choir at the musical offering. The tune, Deo Gracias, dates to the 15th century.
Also known as the Agincourt Hymn, the tune originally carried a text that memorialized the Battle of Agincourt in 1415 wherein an English army, led by Henry V, defeated French Forces led by Charles VI.
The text and this tune can be found together at ELW 322.
