  20. Come forth, O Love divine, seek now this soul of mine, and visit it with your own ardor glowing; O Comforter, draw near, within my heart appear, and kindle it, your holy flame bestowing.

  21. O let it freely burn, till earthly passions turn to dust and ashes in its heat consuming; And let your glorious light shine ever on my sight, and clothe me round, the while my path illuming.

  39. Choral Blessing “A Closing Prayer” by Don Besig

  40. The time has come, O Lord, for us to leave this place. Guide us and protect us, and lead us in Thy grace. Wherever life may take us, as we go our separate ways, Help us share with others the things we’ve shared today.

  41. May the peace of God, Creator, and the love of Christ, God’s son, guide us in the days ahead and strengthen us, each one. May the blessings of the spirit fill us from within. God bless us and return us to this fellowship once again. A-men, a-men, a-men, a-men, a-men.
