St. Matthew is a friendly congregation located in Palmyra, Wisconsin. Some of us are newcomers to the area…other of us belong to families which have been here for generations. We are a group of Christians with a common mission: To share the love of Christ Jesus. We welcome you.
Join us for weekly online services (below) with readings, songs and sharing of the Word.

We come to the hungry feast
hungry for a word of peace.
To hungry hearts unsatisfied
the love of God is not denied.
We come, we come to the hungry feast.
We come to the hungry feast
hungry for a world released
from hungry folk of ev’ry kind,
the poor in body, poor in mind.
We come, we come to the hungry feast.
We come to the hungry feast
hungry that the hunger cease,
and knowing, though we eat our fill,
the hunger will stay with us; still
we come, we come to the hungry feast.
You
satisfy the hungry heart With gift of finest wheat
Come give to us, O Saving Lord The Bread of Life to eat
As
when the shepherd calls his sheep They know and heed his voice
So when you call your family Lord We follow and rejoice
You satisfy the hungry heart With gift of finest wheat
Come give to us, O Saving Lord The Bread of Life to eat
With
joyful lips, we sing to you Our praise and gratitude
That you should count us worthy Lord To share this Heavenly food
You satisfy the hungry heart With gift of finest wheat
Come give to us, O Saving Lord The Bread of Life to eat
Is
not the cup we bless and share The blood of Christ outpoured?
Do not one cup, one load, declare Our oneness in the Lord?
You satisfy the hungry heart With gift of finest wheat
Come give to us, O Saving Lord The Bread of Life to eat
The
mystery of your presence, Lord, No mortal tongue can tell;
Whom all the world cannot contain Comes in our hearts to dwell.
You satisfy the hungry heart With gift of finest wheat
Come give to us, O Saving Lord The Bread of Life to eat
You give yourself to us, O Lord; Then selfless let us be.
To serve each other in your name In truth and charity
You satisfy the hungry heart With gift of finest wheat
Come give to us, O Saving Lord The Bread of Life to eat

ELW #793 Be Thou My Vision
EWL #547 Sent Forth By God’s Blessing
REFRAIN: Take my life, that I may be
consecrated, Lord to thee,
Take my moments and my days;
let them flow in ceaseless praise
Take
my hands and let them move
At the impulse of thy love;
Take my feet and let them be
Swift and beautiful for thee REFRAIN
Take
my silver and my gold,
Not a mite would I withhold;
Take my intellect and use
every power as though shalt choose REFRAIN
Take
my voice and let me sing
Always, only for my King;
Take my lips and let them be
Filled with messages from thee. REFRAIN
Take
my will and make it thine;
It shall be no longer mine;
Take my heart, it is thine own;
It shall be thy royal throne. REFRAIN
2. Bless, Lord, the labor
we bring to serve you,
that with our neighbor we may be fed.
Sowing or tilling, we would work with you,
harvesting, milling for daily bread.
4.
Then will your blessing reach ev’ry people,
freely confessing your gracious hand.
Where all obey you,, no one will hunger;
In your love’s swqy you nourish the land.
On
what has now been sown
Your blessing Lord, bestow,
The power is your alone
to make it sprout and grow
O Lord, in grace The harvest raise,
and yours alone shall be the praise!
To
you our wants are known,
from you are all our powers
Accept what is your own
and pardon what is ours.
Our praises Lord, And prayers receive
and to your word a blessing give
Oh,
grant that each of us,
Now met before you here,
May meet together thus
when you and yours appear
And follow you To heaven our home.
Even so, Amen! Lord Jesus come!
