INTROIT: Jesus, Savior, Pilot Me by Stephan Casurella
Jesus, Savior, pilot me over life’s tempestuous sea; unknown waves before me roll, hiding rock and treacherous shoal. Chart and compass come from Thee: Jesus, Savior, pilot me. As a mother stills her child, Thou canst hush the ocean wild; boisterous waves obey Thy will when Thou say’st to them, “Be Still!” Wondrous Sovereign of the sea, Jesus, Savior, pilot me. When at last I near the shore and the fearful breakers roar ‘Twixt me and the peaceful rest, then, while leaning on Thy breast, may I hear Thee say to me, “Fear not, I will pilot thee.” [Edward Hopper]

ANTHEM: Perfect Peace by William David Young
Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee. When the shadows come and darkness falls, He giveth inward peace. He’s our only perfect resting place, He giveth perfect peace! Thou wilt keep him in perfect peace whose mind is stayed on Thee. He brings peace. Peace, perfect peace, where once unrest had been; God’s love and mercy whispers peace within. He giveth perfect peace! He brings peace, perfect peace. [Vivian Kretz, based on Isaiah 26:3]
