Entrance Hymn: Praise to the Lord
Praise to the Lord, the Almighty, the king of creation! O my soul, praise him, for he is your health and salvation! Come, all who hear: Now to his altar draw near, joining in glad adoration!
Praise to the Lord, who shall prosper our work and defend us; Surely his goodness and mercy shall daily attend us. Ponder anew what the Almighty can do, who with his love will befriend us.
Praise to the Lord! O let all that is in us adore him! All that has life and breath come now with praises before him! Let the “Amen” sound from his people again, now as we worship before him!
Offertory Hymn: Love Goes On
Love is patient, love is kind, never ending, never ending; slow to anger, rich in mercy, love goes on beyond all time.
Love is faithful, love is true, ever joyful and forgiving; love endures when life is over, love is old and love is new.
Love alone has shaped our soul, and our hearts are always restless until love becomes our purpose, new creation to unfold.
Love our journey, love our goal. Though our faith may move the mountains, love alone can heal the broken; only love will make us whole.
Love, our Savior’s one command: “Love the way that I have loved you,” with a towel and a basin, washing feet with servant hands.
There are three gifts that remain when all other things have perished. Only faith, hope, love enduring, and the greatest gift is love.
Communion Solo: If You Love Me
Recessional Hymn: America the Beautiful
Oh, beautiful for spacious skies, For amber waves of grain, For purple mountain majesties Above the fruited plain. America! America! God shed his grace on thee, And crown thy good with brotherhood From sea to shining sea.
Oh, beautiful for pilgrim feet, Whose stern, impassioned stress A thoroughfare of freedom beat across the wilderness! America! America! God mend thine ev’ry flaw, Confirm thy soul in self-control, Thy liberty in law.
O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife, who more than self their country loved, and mercy more than life. America! America! May God thy gold refine, till all success be nobleness and every grain divine.
O beautiful for patriot dream that sees beyond the years thine alabaster cities gleam, undimmed by human tears! America! America! God shed his grace on thee, and crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea.
