8. Opening Song
“Let My People Seek Their
Freedom”
#586 red hymnal

9. “Let my people seek their freedom
in the wilderness awhile,
from the slave pens of the Delta,
from the ghettos on the Nile”:

10. So God spoke from out of Sinai,
so God spoke and it was done,
and a people crossed the waters
toward the rising of the sun.

11. “Let my people seek their freedom
in the wilderness awhile,
from the aging shrines and
structures,
from the cloister and the aisle”:

12. so the Son of God has spoken,
and the storm clouds are unfurled,
for God’s people must be scattered
to be servants in the world.

13. When we murmur on the mountains
for the old Egyptian plains,
when we miss our ancient bondage,
and the hope, the promise, wanes;

14. then the rock shall yield its water
and the manna fall by night,
and with visions of a future
shall we march toward the light.

15. In the maelstrom of the nations,
in the journeying into space,
in the clash of generations,
in the hungering for grace,

16. in the agony and glory,
we are called to newer ways
by the Lord of our tomorrows
and the God of earth’s todays.

“By the Babylonian River”
#2217 black hymnal

27. By the Babylonian riverswe sat
down in grief and wept;hung our
harps upon a willow,mourned for
Zion when we slept.

28. There our captors, in derisiondid
require of us a song;so we sat with
staring visionand the days were
hard and long.

29. How shall we sing the Lord's songin
a strange and bitter land; Can our
voices veil the sorrow? Lord God

For thine is the kingdom,
and the power, and the glory,
forever.

36. Anthem
“Go Down Moses”
#448 red
hymnal

37. When Israel was in Egypt´s Land:
let my people go;
oppressed so hard they could not
stand,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;

38. Thus saith the Lord," bold Moses
said,
let my people go;
"If not, I´ll smite your firstborn
dead,"
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,

39. No more shall they in bondage toil,
let my people go;
let them come out with Egypt's
spoil,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;

40. We need not always weep and
mourn,
let my people go;
and wear those slavery chains
forlorn,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,

41. Come, Moses, you will not get lost,
let my people go;
stretch out your rod and come
across,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;

42. As Israel stood by the water's side,
let my people go;
at God's command it did divide,
Let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;
tell old Pharaoh to let my people go!

43. When they had reached the other
shore,
let my people go;
they sang a song of triumph o'er,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;

44. O Moses, the cloud shall cleave the
way,
let my people go;
a fire by night, a shade by day,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;

45. Your foes shall not before you stand,
let my people go;
and you'll possess fair Canaan's
land,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;

46. This world's a wilderness of woe,
let my people go;
O let us on to Canaan go,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;
tell old Pharaoh to let my people go!

47. O let us all from bondage flee,
let my people go;
and let us all in Christ be free,
let my people go.
Go down, Moses,
way down in Egypt´s land;
tell old Pharaoh to let my people go!

48. Scripture Reading

49. Exodus 3:7-15 (NIV)
7 The Lord said, “I have indeed
seen the misery of my people in Egypt.
I have heard them crying out because
of their slave drivers, and I am
concerned about their suffering. 8 So I
have come down to rescue them from
the hand of

50. the Egyptians and to bring them up out
of that land into a good and spacious
land, a land flowing with milk and
honey—the home of the Canaanites,
Hittites, Amorites, Perizzites,
Hivites and Jebusites. 9 And now the
cry of the Israelites has reached me,
and I have seen the way the Egyptians

51. are oppressing them.
10 So now, go.
I am sending you to Pharaoh to bring
my people the Israelites out of Egypt.”
11 But Moses said to God, “Who am
I that I should go to Pharaoh and bring
the Israelites out of Egypt?”
12 And God said, “I will be with you.

52. And this will be the sign to you that it
is I who have sent you: When you have
brought the people out of Egypt,
you will worship God on this
mountain.”
13 Moses said to God, “Suppose I go to
the Israelites and say to them, ‘The God
of your fathers has sent me to you,

53. and they ask me, ‘What is his
name?’ Then what shall I tell them?”
14 God said to Moses, “I am who I
am. This is what you are to say to the
Israelites: ‘I am has sent me to you.’”
15 God also said to Moses, “Say to the
Israelites, ‘The Lord, the God of your
fathers—the God of Abraham,

54.
the God of Isaac and the God of Jacob
—has sent me to you.’ “This is my
name forever, the name you shall call
me from generation to generation.

55. Luke 4:14-22 (NIV)
Jesus Rejected at Nazareth
14 Jesus returned to Galilee in the
power of the Spirit, and news about
him spread through the whole
countryside. 15 He was teaching in
their synagogues,

56. and everyone praised him.
16 He went to Nazareth, where he had
been brought up, and on the Sabbath
day he went into the synagogue, as was
his custom. He stood up to read,
17 and the scroll of the prophet Isaiah
was handed to him. Unrolling it, he
found the place where it is written:

57. 18 “The Spirit of the Lord is on me,
because he has anointed me to proclaim
good news to the poor. He has sent me
to proclaim freedom for the
prisoners and recovery of sight for the
blind, to set the oppressed free, 19 to
proclaim the year of the Lord’s favor.”
20 Then he rolled up the scroll,

58. gave it back to the attendant and sat
down. The eyes of everyone in the
synagogue were fastened on him.
21 He began by saying to them,
“Today this scripture is fulfilled in your
hearing.”
22 All spoke well of him and were
amazed at the gracious words that came

59. from his lips. “Isn’t this Joseph’s son?”
they asked.

People of God.
People:
Thanks be to God.
