Entrance 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.

Offertory Hymn: Prayer of St. Francis

Make me a channel of your peace. Where there is hatred let me bring your love, Where there is injury your pardon Lord, And where there's doubt true faith in you.

Make me a channel of your peace, Where there's despair in life, let me bring hope, Where there is darkness, only light, And where there's sadness, ever joy.

O Master grant that I may never seek, So much to be consoled as to console, To be understood as to understand, To be loved as to love with all my soul.

Make me a channel of your peace, It is in pardoning that we are pardoned, In giving of ourselves that we receive. And in dying that we're born to eternal life.

Communion Hymn: Take and Eat

(Refrain) Take and eat; take and eat: this is my body given up for you. Take and drink; take and drink: this is my blood given up for you.

I am the Word that spoke and light was made; I am the seed that died to be re-born; I am the bread that comes from heaven above; I am the vine that fills your cup with joy. (To Refrain)

I am the way that leads the exile home; I am the truth that sets the captive free; I am the life that raises up the dead; I am your peace, true peace my gift to you. (To Refrain)

I am the Lamb that takes away your sin; I am the gate that guards you night and day; You are my flock; you know the shepherd's voice; You are my own; your ransom is my blood. (To Refrain)

I am the cornerstone that God has laid; A chosen stone and precious in his eyes; You are God’s dwelling place, on me you rest; Like living stones, a temple for God’s praise. (To Refrain)

I am the light that came into the world; I am the light that darkness cannot hide; I am the morning star that never sets; Lift up your face, in you my light will shine. (To Refrain)

I am the first and last, the living one; I am the Lord who died that you might live; I am the bridegroom, this my wedding song; You are my bride, come to the marriage feast. (To Refrain)

Recessional Hymn: All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name

All hail the power of Jesus’ name! Let angels prostrate fall; Bring forth the royal diadem to crown him Lord of all; Bring forth the royal diadem to crown him Lord of all.

Hail him, you heirs of David’s line whom David Lord did call, the God incarnate, man divine, and crown him Lord of all; The God incarnate, man divine, and crown him Lord of all.

Crown him, you holy saints of God, who from his altar call; Extol him in whose path you trod, and crown him Lord of all; Extol him in whose path you trod, and crown him Lord of all.
