Song Sheet August 18th

Entrance Hymn: I Sing the Mighty Power of God

I sing the mighty pow’r of God, that made the mountains rise, That spread the flowing seas abroad, and built the lofty skies. I sing the wisdom that ordained the sun to rule the day; The moon shines full at His command, and all the stars obey.

I sing the goodness of the Lord, who filled the earth with food, Who formed the creatures with his Word, and then pronounced them good. Lord, how Thy wonders are displayed, where’er I turn my eye, If I survey the ground I tread, or gaze upon the sky.

There’s not a plant or flow’r below, but makes Thy glories known, And clouds arise, and tempests blow, by order from Thy throne; While all that borrows life from Thee is ever in Thy care; And everywhere that I can be, Thou, God, art present there.

Offertory Hymn: One Love Released

(Refrain) One bread one body, one cup, one call, one faith, one Spirit present in us all. One prayer, one blessing, one hope, one peace, one church, one people, one love released.

Is not this bread we share, the body of our Lord? Is not this wine we drink, the blood of Christ out-poured? (To refrain)

I am the bread of life, eat and you shall live. To those who share this meal, my strength I’ll always give. (To refrain)

I am the living bread, as manna from the sky. This bread I give to you, that you may never die. (To refrain)

No one will come to me, unless our God has led. And I shall raise them up, raise them from the dead. (To refrain)

Communion Hymn: Spirit and Grace

Spirit and grace, here in this meal. You are the wind that breathes through the field. Gather the wheat and form us in Christ. Come, be our source and breath of life.

Refrain: In this bread, blessed, broken and shared, Christ is our life, whose presence we bear. Come, O spirit, make your grace revealed in this holy meal.

Spirit and grace, here in this meal. You are the life that flows through the vine. Gather this drink and form us in Christ. Come, be our source and blood of life. (To Refrain)

Spirit and grace, here in this place. You are the light that shines in this space. Gather your people and form us in Christ. Come, be the heartbeat of our lives. (To Refrain)

Spirit of God, sending us forth; We spread your wisdom throughout all the earth Gather the nations and form us in Christ. Come, be the presence in our lives. (To Refrain)

Recessional Hymn: Now Thank We All Our God

Now thank we all our God with heart, and hands and voices, who wondrous things hath done, in whom his world rejoices; Who, from our mother’s arms hath blessed us on our way with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.

O may this gracious God through all our life be near us, with ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us; Preserve us in his grace, and guide us in distress, and free us from all sin, till heaven we possess.

All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given, the Son, and Spirit blest, who reigns in highest heaven, Eternal, Triune God, whom earth and heaven adore; For thus it was, is now, and shall be, evermore.
