Song Sheet August 11th

Entrance Hymn: All People That On Earth Do Dwell

All people that on Earth do dwell, sing to the Lord with cheerful voice; Him serve with mirth, his praise forth tell, come we before him, and rejoice.

Know that the Lord is God indeed; Without our aid he did us make; We are his folk, he does us feed, and for his sheep he does us take.

O enter then his gates with praise; Approach with joy his courts unto; Praise, laud, and bless his name always, for it is seemly so to do.

For why the Lord our God is good: His mercy is for ever sure; His truth at all times firmly stood, and shall from age to age endure.

Offertory 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)

Communion Hymn: I Received the Living God

(Refrain) I received the living God, and my heart is full of joy. I received the living God, and my heart is full of joy.

Jesus said: I am the bread kneaded long to give you life; you who will partake of me need not ever fear to die. (To refrain)

Jesus said: I am the way, and my Father longs for you; so I come to bring you home to be one with us anew. (To refrain)

Jesus said: I am the truth; come and follow close to me. You will know me in your heart, and my word shall make you free. (To refrain)

Jesus said: I am the life far from whom no thing can grow, but receive this living bread, and my Spirit you shall know. (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.
