Opening Prayer

Hymn – Be Thou My Vision

Be Thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
Naught be all else to me, save that Thou art
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
Waking or sleeping, Thy presence my light.

Be Thou my wisdom, and Thou my true Word;
I ever with Thee and Thou with me, Lord;
Thou my great Father, and I Thy true son;
Thou in me dwelling, and I with Thee one.

Be Thou my Battle Shield, Sword for the fight;
Be Thou my Dignity, Thou my Delight;
Thou my soul’s Shelter, Thou my high Tower:
Raise Thou me heavenward, O Power of my power.

Riches I heed not, nor man’s empty praise,
Thou mine inheritance, now and always:
Thou and Thou only, first in my heart,
High king of heaven, my treasure Thou art.

High king of heaven, my victory won,
May I reach heaven’s joys, O bright heaven’s sun!
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
Still be my vision, O ruler of all.

Hymn – All Things Together

He’s the image of the invisible God
The firstborn of creation
By Him all things were created in heaven and earth
Seen and unseen
Rulers, dominions, and powers, and kings

He holds all things, all things
All things together
He holds all things, all things
All things together

He is the head of the body, the church
The firstborn from the dead
So in everything He is the head
And the fullness of God was pleased to dwell
In Him to reconcile to Himself

All things, all things, All things together
He holds all things, all things
All things together

Through Him and for Him, all things were made
Through Him and for Him, all things were made
He is before all things, in Him, all things hold together
Through Him and for Him, all things were made
Through Him and for Him, all things were made
He is before all things, in Him, all things hold together

He made peace, He made peace
He made peace by the blood of His cross
He made peace, He made peace
He made peace by the blood of His cross
He made peace, He made peace
He made peace by the blood of His cross

He holds all things, all things
All things together, He holds all things,
all things, All things together

Prayer

Hymn – I Stand Amazed in the Presence

I stand amazed in the presence
Of Jesus the Nazarene,
And wonder how He could love me,
A sinner condemned, unclean.

For me it was in the garden,
He prayed: “Not my will, but Thine.”
He had no tears for His own griefs,
But sweat-drops of blood for mine.

How marvelous! How wonderful!
And my song shall ever be:
How marvelous! How wonderful!
Is my Savior's love for me!

He took my sins and my sorrows,
He made them His very own;
He bore the burden to Calv’ry,
And suffered, and died alone.

O gather around the table
O taste of the Lord and see
The body and blood of Jesus
Was broken and shed for me.

Pastoral Prayer

Sermon

Hymn – Behold the Lamb (Communion Hymn)

Behold the Lamb who bears our sins away, slain for us
and we remember
the promise made that all who come in faith
find forgiveness at the cross.
So we share in this bread of life,
and we drink of His sacrifice
as a sign of our bonds of peace
around the table of the King.

The body of our Savior Jesus Christ, torn for you–
eat and remember
The wounds that heal, the death that brings us life
paid the price to make us one.
So we share in this bread of life,
and we drink of His sacrifice
as a sign of our bonds of love
around the table of the King.

The blood that cleanses every stain of sin, shed for you–
drink and remember
He drained death’s cup that all may enter in
to receive the life of God.
So we share in this bread of life,
and we drink of His sacrifice
as a sign of our bonds of grace
around the table of the King.

And so with thankfulness and faith we rise to respond
and to remember
our call to follow in the steps of Christ as His body here on earth.
As we share in His suffering,
we proclaim Christ will come again!
And we’ll join in the feast of heav’n
around the table of the King.
