Song Sheet September 20th

Entrance: Praise My Soul The King of Heaven

Praise, my soul, the King of heaven; to His feet thy tribute bring; ransomed, healed, restored, forgiven, evermore his praises sing: Alleluia! Alleluia! Praise the everlasting King.

Praise Him for His grace and favor to his children, in distress; Praise Him still the same as ever, slow to chide, and swift to bless. Alleluia! Alleluia! Glorious in His faithfulness.

Father-like He tends and spares us; well our feeble frame He knows; In His hands He gently bears us, rescues us from all our foes. Alleluia! Alleluia! Widely yet His mercy flows.

Offertory: The Summons

Will you come and follow me if I but call your name? Will you go where you don’t know and never be the same? Will you let my love be shown? Will you let my name be known, will you let my life be grown in you and you in me?

Will you leave yourself behind if I but call your name? Will you care for cruel and kind and never be the same? Will you risk the hostile stare should your life attract or scare? Will you let me answer prayer in you and you in me?

Will you let the blinded see if I but call your name? Will you set the prisoners free and never be the same? Will you kiss the leper clean and do such as this unseen, and admit to what I mean in you and you in me?

Will you love the “you” you hide if I but call your name? Will you quell the fear inside and never be the same? Will you use the faith you’ve found to reshape the world around, Through my sight and touch and sound in you and you in me?

Lord your summons echoes true when you but call my name. Let me turn and follow you and never be the same. In Your company I’ll go where Your love and footsteps show. Thus I’ll move and live and grow in you and you in me.

Communion: Gift of Finest Wheat

(Refrain) You satisfy the hungry heart, with gift of finest wheat, Come give to us, O Saving Lord, The Bread of Life to eat.

As when the shepherd calls his sheep, they know and heed his voice, so when you call your family Lord, we follow and rejoice. (To refrain)

With joyful lips, we sing to you, our praise and gratitude. That you should count us worthy Lord to share this Heavenly food. (To refrain)

Is not the cup we bless and share, the blood of Christ outpoured? Do not one cup, one loaf declare, our oneness in the Lord? (To refrain)

The mystery of your presence, Lord, No mortal tongue can tell: Whom all the world can not contain comes in our hearts to dwell. (To refrain)

You give yourself to us, O Lord: Then selfless let us be, To serve each other in your name in truth and charity.(To Refrain)

Recessional: God We Praise You

God we praise you! God, we bless you! God we name you sovereign Lord. Mighty King whom angels worship, Father by your church adored: All creation shows your glory, heaven and earth draw near your throne, singing holy, holy, holy, Lord of hosts and God alone.

True apostles, faithful prophets, Saints who set their world ablaze, Martyrs, once unknown, unheeded, Join one growing song of praise, While your Church on earth confesses One majestic Trinity: Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, God, our hope eternally.

Jesus Christ, the King of glory, Everlasting Son of God, Humble was your virgin mother, Hard the lonely path you trod: By your cross is sin defeated, Hell confronted face to face, Heaven opened to believers, Sinners justified by grace.

Christ, at God's right hand victorious, You will judge the world you made; Lord, in mercy help your servants For whose freedom you have paid: Raise us up from dust to glory; Guard us from all sin today. King enthroned above all praises, Save your people, God, we pray.
