Hail, redeemer, king divine! Priest and lamb, the throne is thine; King whose reign shall never cease, Prince of everlasting peace. Angels, saints, and nations sing: Praised be Jesus Christ our King; Lord of earth and sky and sea, king of love on cavalry.
King of everlasting might! Be to us eternal light, till in peace each nation rings with thy praises, king of kings. Angels, saints, and nations sing: Praised be Jesus Christ our King; Lord of earth and sky and sea, king of love on cavalry.
Offertory Hymn: Precious Lord
Precious Lord, take my hand, lead me on, let me stand; I am tired, I am weak, I am worn; Through the storm, through the night, lead me on to the light: Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
When my way grows drear, precious Lord, linger near, when my life is almost gone; Hear my cry, hear my call, hold my hand lest I fall: Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
When the darkness appears and the night draws near, and the day is past and gone, At the river I stand, guide my feet, hold my hand: Take my hand, precious Lord, lead me home.
Communion Hymn: The Cry of the Poor
(Refrain) The Lord hears the cry of the poor. Blessed be the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times, with praise ever in my mouth. Let my soul glory in the Lord, who will hear the cry of the poor. (To Refrain)
Let the lowly hear and be glad; the Lord listens to their pleas; and to hearts broken, God is near,
who will hear the cry of the poor. (To Refrain)
Every spirit crushed, God will save; will be ransom for their lives;
will be safe shelter for their fears, and will hear the cry of the poor. (To Refrain)
We proclaim your greatness, O God, your praise ever in our mouth;
every face brightened in your light, for you hear the cry of the poor. (To Refrain)
2nd Communion Hymn: Taste and See
(Refrain)Taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord. O taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times. Praise shall always be on my lips; my soul shall glory in the Lord for God has been so good to me. (To Refrain)
Glorify the Lord with me. Together let us all praise God's name. I called the Lord who answered me; from all my troubles I was set free. (To Refrain)
Worship the Lord, all you people. You'll want for nothing if you ask. Taste and see that the Lord is good; in God we need put all our trust. (To Refrain)
Recessional Hymn: A Mighty Fortress
A mighty fortress is our God, a bulwark never failing; our helper he, amid the flood of mortal ills prevailing. For still our ancient foe doth seek to work us woe; his craft and power are great, and armed with cruel hate, on earth is not his equal.
Did we in our own strength confide, our striving would be losing, were not the Savior on our side, the Man of God's own choosing. Dost ask who that may be? Christ Jesus, it is he; Lord Sabaoth his name, from age to age the same; and he must win the battle.
