Song Sheet May 5th
Entrance Hymn: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling
Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heaven to earth come down! Fix in us your humble dwelling; All your faithful mercies crown. Jesus, source of all compassion, love unbounded, love all pure; Visit us with your salvation, Let your love in us endure.
Come, almighty to deliver; Let us all your life receive; Suddenly return and never, never more your temples leave. Lord, we would be always blessing, serve you as your hosts above, pray, and praise you without ceasing, glory in your precious love.
Finish then your new creation, pure and spotless, gracious Lord; Let us see your great salvation perfectly in you restored. Changed from glory into glory, till in heaven we take our place, till we sing before the almighty, lost in wonder, love, and praise.
Offertory Hymn: Love Goes On
e 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 Hymn: I Received the Living God
(Refrain) I received the living God, and my heart is full of joy. I received the living God, and my heart is full of joy.
Jesus said: I am the bread kneaded long to give you life; you who will partake of me need not ever fear to die. (To refrain)
Jesus said: I am the way, and my Father longs for you; so I come to bring you home to be one with us anew. (To refrain)
Jesus said: I am the truth; come and follow close to me. You will know me in your heart, and my word shall make you free. (To refrain)
Jesus said: I am the life far from whom no thing can grow, but receive this living bread, and my Spirit you shall know. (To refrain)
Recessional Hymn: How Can I Keep From Singing
My life flows on in endless song; Above earth’s lamentation. I hear the real though far off hymn that hails a new creation.
(Refrain) No storm can shake my inmost calm, while to that rock I’m clinging. Since love is Lord of heaven and earth, how can I keep from singing?
Through all the tumult and the strife, I hear that music ringing; It sounds and echoes in my soul; How can I keep from singing? (To Refrain)
What though the tempest ‘round me roar, I hear the truth it liveth. What though the darkness ‘round me close, songs in the night it giveth. (To Refrain)
