Song Sheet August 10th
Entrance Hymn: Praise My Soul the King of Heaven
Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; to His feet thy tribute bring; ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, evermore his praises sing: Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King.
Praise Him for His grace and favor to his children, in distress; Praise Him still the same as ever, slow to chide, and swift to bless. Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness.
Father-like He tends and spares us; well our feeble frame He knows; In His hands He gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely yet His mercy flows.
Offertory Hymn: The Servant Song
Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you; Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.
We are pilgrims on a journey, we are travelers on the road; We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.
I will hold the Christlight for you in the night time of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping; When you laugh I’ll laugh with you. I will share your joy and sorrow ‘til we’ve seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven we shall find such harmony, born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony.
Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you; Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.
Communion Hymn: Center of My Life
(Refrain) O Lord, You are the center of my life. I will always praise you, I will always serve you, I will always keep you in my sight.
Keep me safe O God, I take refuge in you. I say to the Lord "You are my God, My happiness lies in you alone, My happiness lies in you alone." (To Refrain)
I will bless you, Lord, who give me counsel, And even at night directs my heart. I keep the Lord, ever in my sight, Since you are at my right I shall stand firm. (To Refrain)
And so my heart rejoices, my soul is glad; Even in safety shall my body rest For you will not leave my soul among the dead, Nor let your beloved know decay. (To Refrain)
You will show me the path of life, The fullness of joy in your presence, At your right hand, at your right hand Happiness forever. (To Refrain)
Recessional Hymn: There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy
There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the head.
For the love of God is broader, than the measure of our mind; And the heart of the Eternal, Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple we should take him at his word, And our lives would be thanksgiving for the goodness of our lord.
Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner and more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, there is healing in his blood.
