One Great Hour of Sharing 2003

2003 Coordinator


The Lighting of Candles
In Remembrance

There are stars whose light reaches the earth only after they themselves have disintegrated. And there are individuals whose memory lights the world after they have passed from it. These lights shine in the darkest night and illumine for us the path.
---Hannah Senesh

In the rising of the sun and in its going down,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
In the blowing of the wind and in the chill of winter,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
In the opening of buds and in the rebirth of spring,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
In the blueness of the sky and in the warmth of summer,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
In the rustling of leaves and in the beauty of autumn,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
In the beginning of the year and when it ends,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
When we are weary and in need of strength,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
When we are lost and sick at heart,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
When we have joys we yearn to share,
WE REMEMBER THEM.
So long as we live, they too shall live,
For they are a part of us,
FOR WE REMEMBER THEM.

-Roland B. Gittlesohn (adapted)

God and Autumn
Levi H. Koehn

Let the Brightness of this day
Tell of the brightness of Thy glory;
The warmth of the autumn sun
Of Thy enfolding love;
The blue that stretches out into the unknown
Of Thy boundless purity;
Let the wind speak of Thy spirit
Moving among us.

Let the rows of shocks in the field,
The bulding bins in the yards of our farms,
The well-fed cattle in the browning pasture
Speak of Thy goodness to us.
