tHe invoCation 

tHe PsaLmody from Luke 1 

P: Mary said, “My soul magnifies the Lord 

C: and my spirit rejoices in God my Savior, 

P: for He has looked on the humble estate of His servant. 

C: For behold, from now on all generations will call me blessed; 

P: for He who is mighty has done great things for me, 

C: and holy is His name. 

P: And his mercy is for those who fear Him 

C: from generation to generation. 

P: He has shown strength with His arm; 

C: He has scattered the proud in the thoughts of their hearts; 

P: He has brought down the mighty from their thrones 

C: and exalted those of humble estate; 

P: He has filled the hungry with good things, 

C: and the rich He has sent away empty. 

P: He has helped his servant Israel, 

C: in remembrance of His mercy; 

P: as He spoke to our fathers, 

C: to Abraham and to His offspring forever.” 

All: Glory be to the Father and to the Son, and to the Holy Spirit; 

as it was in the beginning, is now and will be forever. Amen.

tHe Hymn oF Praise “Savior of the Nations, Come” 

Lutheran Service Book (LSB) 332 

(selected st.) 

1. Savior of the nations, come; Virgin’s Son, here make Your home! 

Marvel now, O heav’n and earth, That the Lord chose such a birth. 

2. Here a maid was found with child, Yet remained a virgin mild. 

In her womb this truth was shown: God was there upon His throne. 

3. God the Father was His source, Back to God He ran His course. 

Into hell His road went down, Back then to His throne and crown. 

4. Glory to the Father sing, Glory to the Son, our king, 

Glory to the Spirit be Now and through eternity.

tHe Hymn “Lord, Take My Hand and Lead Me” LSB 722 

1. Lord, take my hand and lead me Upon life’s way; 

Direct, protect and feed me From day to day. 

Without your grace and favor I go astray; 

So take my hand, O Savior, And lead the way. 

2. Lord, when the tempest rages, I need not fear; 

For you, the Rock of Ages, Are always near. 

Close by your side abiding, I fear no foe, 

For when your hand is guiding, In peace I go. 

3. Lord, when the shadows lengthen And night has come, 

I know that you will strengthen My steps toward home, 

And nothing can impede me, O blessed Friend! 

So take my hand and lead me Unto the end. 

tHe Prayers 

tHe Lord’s Prayer 

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.

aCademiC CostUmes 

Caps and gowns have been in use in the United States since colonial times, 

but it was not until 1895 that an Intercollegiate Code was prepared, regulating the 

design or pattern of the gowns and hoods and the colors and materials to be used. 

The three types of gowns generally worn are made of black material. The 

bachelor’s gown has long, pointed sleeves; the master’s is made with a long, 

closed sleeve and a slit for the arm. The doctor’s gown has a full, round, open 

sleeve. It is faced with velvet and has three bars of velvet on each sleeve. The 

black mortarboard style cap is worn for all degrees, but only doctors or presidents 

of institutions may wear a gold tassel. 

The hood is the most important and distinctive feature of the academic 

costume. It enables anyone to distinguish at a glance the various ranks and at the 

same time recognize the university which has given the degree. 

The doctor’s hood, of black cloth matching the gown, is four feet in length 

and made with a wide panel. The master’s and bachelor’s hoods are three and 

one-half and three feet in length, respectively. The hoods for all the degrees are 

lined with silk in the official academic color or colors of the institution which has 

conferred the degree. The colors are not necessarily the same as the school’s 

athletic colors, although in many cases they are. Many schools that use the same 

colors distinguish themselves by using different shades of that color. Where there 

is more than one official color, the chevron is used. Concordia’s colors are blue 

and white, so hoods will include those colors as well as the color of the major. 

The binding or trim of all the hoods is velvet; two, three, and five inches 

wide for the bachelor’s, master’s, and doctor’s degrees respectively. The color of 

this velvet trim indicates the department of learning or faculty to which the 

degree pertains. 

Apricot signifies nursing; brown – art; citron – social work; crimson/scarlet 

– communications; dark blue – philosophy; drab – business, management 

communications; gold – computer science, health care administration, justice and 

public policy / criminal justice, radiologic technology, science; lemon – library 

science; light blue – education; orange – engineering; pink – music; peacock – 

physical therapy; purple – paralegal; sage – athletic training, exercise leadership, 

exercise physiology, occupational therapy, physical education; scarlet – theology; 

white – counseling, history, humanities, liberal arts, mathematics, psychology, 

student personnel administration.

tHe CHaPeL oF CHrist triUmPHant 

baccalaureate service 

december 15, 2012 

Joined together–Built on Christ 

ephesians 2:19-22 

How is a baccalaureate service different from a graduation exercise? Quite 

simply the graduation or commencement exercise celebrates the fact that a 

student has completed all the academic work required in order to earn a certain 

degree. A baccalaureate service celebrates the calling of God in that person’s 

life into a specific vocation. You will notice that not all the vocations 

celebrated today are professional church vocations. They are, however, all 

Christian vocations. During our service today, the hymns and the Scripture 

readings celebrate the fact that God in his grace is calling these women and 

men into his service as nurses, social workers, teachers and lay ministers. Our 

prayer of thanksgiving is that they joyfully hear God’s call in their life, 

confident that His plans for them are good plans.

tHe ProCessionaL Hymn “Lift Up Your Heads, Ye MightyGates” 

Lutheran Service Book (LSB) 341 

1. Lift up your heads, ye mighty gates! Behold, the King of glory waits. 

The King of kings is drawing near; the Savior of the world is here. 

Life and salvation He doth bring; therefore rejoice and gladly sing. 

To God the Father raise your joyful songs of praise. 

2. A righteous Helper comes to thee; His chariot is humility, 

His kingly crown is holiness, His scepter, pity in distress. 

The end of all our woe He brings; therefore the earth is glad and sings: 

To Christ the Savior raise your grateful hymns of praise. 

3. How blest the land, the city blest, where Christ the Ruler is confessed! 

O peaceful hearts and happy homes to whom this King in triumph comes! 

The cloudless sun of joy is He who comes to set His people free. 

To God the Spirit raise your happy shouts of praise. 

39

4. Fling wide the portals of your heart; make it a temple set apart 

From earthly use for heav’n’s employ, adorned with prayer and love and joy. 

So shall your Sov’reign enter in and new and nobler life begin. 

To God alone be praise for word and deed and grace! 

5. Redeemer, come and open wide my heart to Thee; here, Lord, abide! 

O enter with Thy grace divine; thy face of mercy on me shine. 

Thy Holy Spirit guide us on until our glorious goal is won. 

Eternal praise and fame we offer to Thy name.

C: our tongues with songs of joy. 

P: Then it was said among the nations, 

C: “The Lord has done great things for them.” 

P: The Lord has done great things for us, 

C: and we are filled with joy. 

P: Restore our fortunes, O Lord, 

C: like streams in the Negev. 

P: Those who sow in tears 

C: will reap with songs of joy. 

P: He who goes out weeping, carrying seed to sow, 

C: will return with songs of joy, carrying sheaves with him.

in the beginning, is now, and will be forever. amen.

That mourns in lonely exile here Until the Son of God appear. 

Refrain: Rejoice! Rejoice! Emmanuel shall come to thee, O Israel! 

O come, Thou Wisdom from on high, Who ord’rest all things mightily; 

To us the path of knowledge show, And teach us in her ways to go. 

Refrain 

O come, Thou Key of David, come, And open wide our heav’nly home; 

Make safe the way that leads on high, And close the path to misery.

O come, Desire of nations, bind In one the hearts of all mankind; 

Bid Thou our sad divisions cease, And be Thyself our King of Peace.

Dear desire of ev’ry nation, joy of ev’ry longing heart. 

Born Thy people to deliver, born a child and yet a king! 

Born to reign in us forever, now Thy gracious kingdom bring. 

By Thine own eternal Spirit rule in all our hearts alone; 

By Thine all-sufficient merit raise us to Thy glorious throne.

tHe CantiCLe “We Praise You and Acknowledge You, O God” 

~a versification of the Te Deum laudamus~ LSB 941 

1. We praise You and acknowledge You, O God, to be the Lord, 

The Father everlasting, by all the earth adored. 

To you all angel powers cry aloud, the heavens sing, 

The cherubim and seraphim their praises to You bring: 

“O holy, holy, holy Lord God of Sabaoth; 

Your majesty and glory fill the heavens and the earth!” 

2. The band of the apostles in glory sing Your praise; 

The fellowship of prophets their deathless voices raise. 

The martyrs of your kingdom, a great and noble throng, 

Sing with the holy Church throughout all the world this song 

“O all majestic Father, Your true and only Son, 

And Holy Spirit, Comforter—forever Three in One!” 

3. You, Christ, are King of glory, the everlasting Son, 

Yet You, with boundless love, sought to rescue ev’ry one: 

You laid aside Your glory, were born of virgin’s womb, 

Were crucified for us and were placed into a tomb; 

Then by Your resurrection You won for us reprieve— 

You opened heaven’s kingdom to all who would believe. 

4. You sit in splendid glory, enthroned at God’s right hand, 

Upholding earth and heaven by forces You command. 

We know that You will come as our Judge that final day, 

So help Your servants You have redeemed by blood, we pray; 

May we with saints be numbered where praises never end, 

In glory everlasting. Amen, O Lord, Amen!

tHe reCessionaL Hymn “Of the Father’s Love Begotten” 

LSB 384 

1. Of the Father’s love begotten ere the worlds began to be, 

He is Alpha and Omega, He the source, the ending He, 

Of the things that are, that have been, 

And that future years shall see evermore and evermore. 

2. Oh, that birth forever blessèd, when the virgin, full of grace, 

By the Holy Ghost conceiving, bore the Savior of our race, 

And the babe, the world’s redeemer, 

First revealed His sacred face evermore and evermore. 

3. This is He whom seers in old time chanted of with one accord, 

Whom the voices of the prophets promised in their faithful word. 

Now He shines, the long expected; 

Let creation praise its Lord evermore and evermore. 

4. O ye heights of heav’n, adore him; angel hosts, His praises sing. 

Pow’rs, dominions, bow before Him and extol our God and King. 

Let no tongue on earth be silent, 

Ev’ry voice in concert ring evermore and evermore. 

5. Christ, to Thee, with God the Father, and, O Holy Ghost, to Thee 

Hymn and chant and high thanksgiving and unending praises be, 

Honor, glory, and dominion, 

And eternal victory evermore and evermore.
