Song Sheet June 23rd

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: Church of God, Elect and Glorious

Church of God, elect and glorious, holy nation, chosen race; called as God’s own special people, royal priests and heirs of grace: know the purpose of your calling, show to all God’s mighty deeds; tell of love which knows no limits, grace which meets all human needs.

God has called you out of darkness into his most marvelous light; brought his truth to life within you, turned your blindness into sight. Let your light so shine around you that God’s name is glorified; and all find fresh hope and purpose in Christ Jesus crucified.

Once you were an alien people, strangers to God’s heart of love; but he brought you home in mercy, citizens of Heaven above. Let his love flow out to others, let them feel a Father’s care;

that they too may know his welcome and his countless blessings share.

Church of God, elect and holy, be the people he intends; strong in faith and swift to answer

each command your master sends: royal priests, fulfil your calling through your sacrifice and prayer; give your lives in joyful service, sing his praise, his love declare.

Communion Hymn: You are Near

(Refrain) O Lord, I know you are near, standing always at my side.

You guard me from the foe, and you lead me in ways everlasting.

Lord, you have searched my heart, and you know when I sit and when I stand. Your hand is upon me protecting me from death, keeping me from harm. (To Refrain)

Where can I run from Your love? If I climb to the heavens You are there; If I fly to the sunrise or sail beyond the sea, still I'd find You there. (To Refrain)

You know my heart and its ways, you who formed me before I was born in the secret of darkness before I saw the sun in my mother's womb. (To Refrain)

Marvelous to me are Your works; how profound are Your thoughts, my Lord. Even if I could count them, they number as the stars, You would still be there. (To Refrain)

Recessional Hymn: In the Day of the Lord

(Refrain) In the day of the Lord, the sun will shine like the dawn of eternal day. All creation will rise to dance and sing the glory of the Lord.

And on that day will justice triumph, on that day will all be free: Free from want, free from fear, free to live! (To refrain)

Then shall the nations throng together to the mountain of the Lord: They shall walk in the light of the Lord! (To refrain)

And they shall beat their swords to plowshares; there will be an end to war: one in peace, one in love, one in God! (To Refrain)
