Entrance Hymn: Hail the Day That Sees Him Rise
Hail the day that sees him rise, Alleluia! to his throne beyond the skies. Alleluia! Christ, the Lamb for sinners given, Alleluia! enters now the highest heaven. Alleluia!
There for him high triumph waits; Alleluia! lift your heads, eternal gates. Alleluia! He has conquered death and sin; Alleluia! take the King of glory in. Alleluia!
Highest heaven its Lord receives; Alleluia! yet he loves the earth he leaves. Alleluia! Though returning to his throne, Alleluia! still he calls the world his own. Alleluia!
See he lifts his hands above. Alleluia! See he shows the wounds of love. Alleluia! Hark his gracious lips bestow, Alleluia! Blessings on his church below. Alleluia!
Offertory Hymn: In Christ Alone
In Christ alone my hope is found, He is my light, my strength, my song; This Cornerstone, this solid Ground Firm through the fiercest drought and storm. What heights of love, what depths of peace When fears are stilled, when strivings cease. My Comforter, my All in All Here in the love of Christ I stand.
In Christ alone, who took on flesh, Fullness of God in helpless babe. This gift of love and righteousness, Scorned by the ones He came to save. Till on that cross as Jesus died, The wrath of God was satisfied For every sin on Him was laid Here in the death of Christ I live.
There in the ground His body lay, Light of the world by darkness slain: Then bursting forth in glorious day Up from the grave He rose again And as He stands in victory Sin's curse has lost its grip on me, For I am His and He is mine Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life, no fear in death, This is the power of Christ in me From life's first cry to final breath, Jesus commands my destiny No power of hell, no scheme of man, Can ever pluck me from His hand Till He returns or calls me home Here in the power of Christ I'll stand.
Communion Hymn: This Bread That We Share
(Refrain) This bread that we share, the body of Christ, this cup of blessing his blood. We who come to this table come to be healed. When we love one another we become the sons and daughters of God, we become the bread, become the cup, the presence of Christ revealed.
We who come to this table of hope, come seeking strength for the journey. Here alone are the weary refreshed, the broken in spirit made whole. (To Refrain)
We who come to this table of peace, carry within us the promise: truth and justice shall flow through the land and righteousness fill every heart. (To Refrain)
We who come to this table of love, find here a friend who is faithful. Always present to us in our need, the love of the Lord never fails! (To Refrain)
Recessional Hymn: Alleluia! Sing to Jesus
Alleluia! Sing to Jesus, His the scepter, his the throne Alleluia! His the triumph, His the victory alone Hark! The songs of peaceful Zion thunder like a mighty flood Jesus out of every nation hath redeemed us by his blood.
Alleluia! Not as orphans are we left in sorrow now Alleluia! He is near us, faith believes nor questions how Though the cloud from sight received him when the forty days were o'er Shall our hearts forget his promise, I am with you evermore?
Alleluia! Bread of angels, here on earth our food and stay Alleluia! Here the sinful flee to thee from day to day Intercessor, Friend of sinners, earth's Redeemer, plead for me Where the songs of all the sinless sweep across the crystal sea.
Alleluia! King eternal, thee the Lord of Lords we own Alleluia! Born of Mary, earth your footstool, heaven your throne You within the veil have entered, robed in flesh, our great High Priest Here on earth both Priest and Victim in the Eucharistic Feast...
