What a glorious day it will be when “all are welcomed and bound by Christ in unity.” As the Psalmist says, “how good it is when all earth’s people dwell in peace together.” In this service of Scripture proclamation, choral and congregational song, may these words guide our worship and guide us as we leave this place to carry the light of Christ—the light of ultimate peace—into a broken, hurting, and weary world. The songs that follow will guide us in our meditation as we look forward to that great day when we will all gather around the throne of grace, united in our praise to the risen and reigning Lord. Alleluia! Come quickly, Lord Jesus.
