PALM SUNDAY CANTATA

9:00 a.m.
PROCESSIONAL GOSPEL: Matthew 21:1-11
1
When they had come near Jerusalem and had reached Bethphage, at the Mount of Olives, Jesus
sent two disciples, 2saying to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately you will
find a donkey tied, and a colt with her; untie them and bring them to me. 3If anyone says
anything to you, just say this, ‘The Lord needs them.’ And he will send them immediately.” 4This
took place to fulfill what had been spoken through the prophet, saying,
5
“Tell the daughter of Zion,
Look, your king is coming to you,
humble, and mounted on a donkey,
and on a colt, the foal of a donkey.”
6
The disciples went and did as Jesus had directed them; 7they brought the donkey and the colt,
and put their cloaks on them, and he sat on them. 8A very large crowd spread their cloaks on the
road, and others cut branches from the trees and spread them on the road. 9The crowds that went
ahead of him and that followed were shouting,
“Hosanna to the Son of David!
Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!
Hosanna in the highest heaven!”
10
When he entered Jerusalem, the whole city was in turmoil, asking, “Who is this?” 11The crowds
were saying, “This is the prophet Jesus from Nazareth in Galilee.”

All glory, laud, and honor
to you, redeemer, king,
to whom the lips of children
made sweet hosannas ring.
1 You are the king of Israel
and David's royal Son,
now in the Lord's name coming,
our King and Blessed One. Refrain
3 The multitude of pilgrims
with palms before you went;
1our praise and prayer and anthems
before you we present. Refrain
4 To you, before your passion,
they sang their hymns of praise.
To you, now high exalted,
our melody we raise. Refrain

PRAYER OF THE DAY
Everlasting God, in your endless love for the human race you sent our Lord Jesus Christ to take
on our nature and to suffer death on the cross. In your mercy enable us to share in his obedience
to your will and in the glorious victory of his resurrection, who lives and reigns with you and the
Holy Spirit, one God, now and forever.
Amen.
PRAYERS OF INTERCESSION
Sustained by God’s abundant mercy, let us pray for the church, the world, and all of creation.
Save your church, O God. Enable us to boldly confess in every time and place that Jesus Christ is
Lord. With the humility of a servant, equip congregations, synods, and other ministry settings to
proclaim your extravagant love for all. Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
Save your creation, O God. Every living being you have made has purpose. Give us renewed
appreciation of farm animals who labor in the fields, service animals who accompany their
human companions, and beloved pets who live alongside us. Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
Save the peoples of the earth, O God. Restore dignity to those who are scorned and persecuted
for their religious beliefs or political activism, and deliver them from the hand of their enemies.
Bring peace to places where conflict runs deep (especially). Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
Save those who cry to you in any need, O God. Watch over all who are incarcerated or awaiting
trial, and stand with those who are unjustly accused. Be present with those feeling isolated,
lonely, or fearful (especially). Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
2Save us in your love, O God. Guide the work of church musicians, pastors, choirs, readers,
deacons, technicians, acolytes, and all who assist in worship. Sustain them in their leadership as
they accompany congregations through this Holy Week. Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
Here other intercessions may be offered.
Save us at the last, O God. We give you thanks for your saints of old who embodied your servant
love. As you came to their aid, so deliver us in times of trial, that every knee would bend in
praise to you. Merciful God,
receive our prayer.
We lift our prayers to you, O God, trusting in your steadfast love and your promise to renew your
whole creation; through Jesus Christ our Savior.
Amen.
LORD’S PRAYER
Gathered into one by the Holy Spirit, let us pray as Jesus taught us.
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.

Be Still
Lyrics by Herb Frombach
Music by Mary McDonald
3Beckenhorst Press, Inc. 2010
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am with you.
Be still and know that I will comfort you
When you come to Me in your hour of need.
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am here for you;
And I will wipe your tears; you will be renewed.
Come unto Me, my child, be still,
And know that I will give you rest.
I am present in your pain and I always will remain
Your Comforter and Friend.
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am with you.
Be still and know that I will comfort
When you come to Me in your hour of need.
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am here for you;
And I will wipe your tears; you will be renewed.
Peace leave with you; My peace, I give unto you.
Peace. Peace. Peace.
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still and know that I am God.
Be still. Be still. Be still.

Abba
Lyrics by Susan Bentall Boersma
Music by Craig Courtney
Beckenhorst Press, Inc. 2008
Abba, (Father) Abba, Like a whisper on the wind I hear my name.
In a sound so like a sigh, again it came.
4Your disciples gathered with You do not hear,
Yet the whisper of my name has reached my ear.
I am here, my Son, here in the upper room.
I hear the water gently splash,
I see the Servant King attending to His friends.
Here I am, here in the upper room.
But as You serve the bread and wine,
The broken body and the blood are ours alone.
Abba, Abba, Like a whisper on the wind I hear my name.
In a sound so like a sigh, again it came.
With a whisper that is heard by God alone,
My only Son begins His painful journey home.

Into the Garden
Lyrics by Douglas Nolan
Music by Peter Lutkin
Arranged by Douglas Nolan
Shawnee Press, Inc. 2002
Into the garden the Savior went as night began to fall.
Into the garden the Savior went as grace began to call.
In agony He prayed alone, in deepest grief His spirit groaned.
He prayed, “O Father, Thy will be done,”
When into the garden He went.
Into the garden the Savior went as stars began to fade.
Into the garden the Savior went. In agony He prayed.
The shadows of Gethsemane fell hard from ev’ry olive tree
As Jesus saw His destiny when into the garden He went.
Into the garden the Savior went beyond Golgatha’s hill.
Into the garden the Savior went, redemption to fulfill.
It was in love He gave His life, the Rose was crushed to pay the price,
With blood He purchased paradise when into the garden He went,
When into the garden He went.
Narration
Lamb of God
Adaptation of Isaiah 53
Music by John Reim
5Beckenhorst Press, Inc. 2017
Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world. Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world. Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world. Grant us peace, grant us peace.
Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world. With Your stripes we are
healed.
The Lord has placed on You the iniquity of all. Have mercy.
The chastisement of our peace was upon You.
You were despised, a man of sorrow and acquainted with grief and we esteemed
you not.
Grant us peace, Lord, grant us peace.
Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world. Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world. Have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, You take away the sin of the world, O Lamb of God.
Grant us peace, grant us peace, Lord, grant us peace. Grant us peace.

6SENDING SONG Where Charity and Love Prevail (v. 1,2,3) (ELW 359)
1 Where charity and love prevail,
there God is ever found;
brought here together by Christ's love,
by love we thus are bound.
2 With grateful joy and holy fear,
God's charity we learn;
let us with heart and mind and soul
now love God in return.
3 Let us recall that in our midst
dwells Christ, God's holy Son;
as members of each body joined,
in him we are made one.
BLESSING
God, the giver of love, ☩ Christ, the resurrection and the life,
and the Holy Spirit of rebirth bless you in this Lenten journey.
Amen.
DISMISSAL
Go in peace. Serve in Love.
Thanks be to God.
