Song Sheet Sept. 13th

Entrance: There’s a Wideness in God’s Mercy

There’s a wideness in God’s mercy, Like the wideness of the sea; There’s a kindness in His justice, Which is more than liberty. There is plentiful redemption in the blood that has been shed; There is joy for all the members in the sorrows of the head.

For the love of God is broader, than the measure of our mind; And the heart of the Eternal, Is most wonderfully kind. If our love were but more simple we should take him at his word, And our lives would be thanksgiving for the goodness of our lord.

Troubled souls, why will you scatter like a crowd of frightened sheep? Foolish hearts, why will you wander from a love so true and deep? There is welcome for the sinner and more graces for the good; There is mercy with the Savior, there is healing in his blood.

Offertory: Loving and Forgiving

(Refrain) Loving and Forgiving are you O Lord; slow to anger, rich in kindness, loving and forgiving are you.

All my being, bless the Lord, bless the holy name of God. All my being, bless the lord, remembering the goodness of God. (to refrain)

God forgives us all our sins, healing those who live in pain, saving us from final death. God fills us with goodness and love. (to refrain)

Good and gracious is the Lord, slow to anger rich in love. Go remembers not our sins, forgiving and loving is God. (to refrain)

As heavens soar above the earth, so great the love of God for us. As far as east is from the west, the Lord takes our sins from us. (to refrain)

Communion: 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: For the Beauty of the Earth

For the beauty of the earth, for the glory of the skies, for the love which from our birth over and around us lies: Lord of all, to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

For the beauty of each hour, of the day and of the night, hill and vale, and tree and flower, sun and moon, and stars of light: Lord of all, to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.

For the joy of human love, brother, sister, parent, child. Friends on earth and friends above; For all gentle thoughts and mild: Lord of all, to you we raise this our hymn of grateful praise.
