How Good, Lord, to Be Here!
Played by Pat Berger
ELW Hymn 315
How good, Lord, to be here!
Your glory fills the night;
your face and garments, like the sun,
shine with unborrowed light.
How good, Lord, to be here!
your beauty to behold
where Moses and Elijah stand,
your messengers of old.
Fulfiller of the past
and hope of things to be,
we hail your body glorified
and our redemption see.
Before we taste of death,
we see your kingdom come;
we long to hold the vision bright
and make this hill our home.
How good, Lord, to be here!
Yet we may not remain;
but since you bid us leave the mount,
come with us to the plain.

The Lord’s Prayer
Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name,
thy kingdom come,
thy will be done,
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread;
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those
who trespass against us;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever and ever. Amen.
