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: The Servant Song
Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you; Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.
We are pilgrims on a journey, we are travelers on the road; We are here to help each other walk the mile and bear the load.
I will hold the Christlight for you in the night time of your fear; I will hold my hand out to you, speak the peace you long to hear.
I will weep when you are weeping; When you laugh I’ll laugh with you. I will share your joy and sorrow ‘til we’ve seen this journey through.
When we sing to God in heaven we shall find such harmony, born of all we’ve known together of Christ’s love and agony.
Will you let me be your servant, let me be as Christ to you; Pray that I may have the grace to let you be my servant, too.
Communion Hymn: One Bread, One Body
(Refrain) One bread, one body, one Lord of all, one cup of blessing which we bless. And we, though many, throughout the earth, we are one body in this one Lord.
Gentile or Jew, servant or free, woman or man, no more. (To refrain)
Many the gifts, many the works, one in the Lord of all. (To refrain)
Grain for the fields, scattered and grown, gathered to one, for all. (To refrain)
Recessional Hymn: Lord, Whose Love in Humble Service
Lord, whose love in humble service bore the weight of human need, who upon the cross forsaken offered mercy’s perfect deed; We, your servants, bring the worship not of voice alone, but heart: Consecrating to your purpose every gift which you impart.
Still your children wander homeless; Still the hungry cry for bread; Still the captives long for freedom: Still in grief we mourn our dead. As, O Lord, your deep compassion healed the sick and freed the soul, use the love your spirit kindles still to save and make us whole.
As we worship, grant us vision, till your love’s revealing light, till the height and depth and greatness dawns upon our human sight: Making known the needs and burdens your compassion bids us bear, stirring us to tireless striving, your abundant life to share.
