oPenIng hymn

God Of Our FathersGod of our fathers, whose almighty hand,Leads forth in beauty all the starry band,

Of shining worlds in splendor through the skies,Our grateful songs before thy throne arise.

Thy love divine hath led us in the past,In this free land by thee our lot is cast;

Be thou our ruler, guardian, guide, and stay,Thy word our law, thy paths our chosen way.

Refresh thy people on their toilsome way,Lead us from night to never-ending day;

Fill all our lives with love and grace divine,And glory, laud, and praise be ever thine.

Song of PraISeBy Faith

By faith we see the hand of God in the light of creation’s grand design,In the lives of those who prove His faithfulness,

Who walk by faith and not by sight.

By faith the prophets saw a day when the longed-for Messiah would appearWith the pow’r to break the chains of sin and death,

And rise triumphant from the grave.

ChorusWe will stand as children of the promise;

We will fix our eyes on Him, our soul’s reward.Till the race is finished and the work is done,

We’ll walk by faith and not by sight.

By faith the church was called to go in the pow’r of the Spirit to the lost,To deliver captives and to preach good news in ev’ry corner of the earth.

By faith this mountain shall be moved And the pow’r of the gospel shall prevail,

For we know in Christ all things are possible For all who call upon His name. Chorus

The Deacon and PeopleWe believe in one God, the Father, the Almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all that is, visible and invisible. We believe in one Lord, Jesus Christ, the only-begotten Son of God, eternally begotten of the Father, God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, of one Being with the Father; through him all things were made. For us and for our salvation he came down from heaven, was incarnate from the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary, and was made man. For our sake he was crucified under Pontius Pilate; he suffered death and was buried. On the third day

He will come again in glory to judge the living and the dead, and his kingdom will have no end. We believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the giver of life, who proceeds from the Father, who with the Father and the Son is worshiped and glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. We believe in one holy catholic and apostolic Church. We acknowledge one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins. We look for the resurrection of the dead, and the life of the world to come. Amen.

For all who are in danger, sorrow, or any kind of trouble;For those who minister to the sick, the friendless, and the needy.

For the peace and unity of the Church of God;For all who proclaim the Gospel, and all who seek the Truth.

For the sake of your Son Jesus Christ, have mercy on us and forgive us; that we may delight in your will, and walk in your ways, to the glory of your Name. Amen.

The OfficiantAlmighty God, our heavenly Father, who in his great mercy has promised forgiveness of sins to all those who sincerely repent and with true faith turn to him, have mercy upon you, pardon and deliver you from all your sins, confirm and strengthen you in all goodness, and bring you to everlasting life; through Jesus Christ our Lord.

the great thankSgIvIng The People remain standing. The Celebrant faces them and saysCelebrant The Lord be with you.PeoPle And also with you.Celebrant Lift up your hearts.PeoPle We lift them to the Lord.Celebrant Let us give thanks to the Lord our God.PeoPle It is right to give him thanks and praise.

The Celebrant proceeds

It is right, our duty and our joy, always and everywhere to give thanks to you, Father Almighty, Creator of heaven and earth.

The Celebrant says the Proper Preface

Though Jesus Christ our Lord, who on the first day of the week overcame death and the grave, and by his glorious resurrection opened to us the way of everlasting life.

Therefore we praise you, joining our voices with Angels and Archangels and with all the company of heaven, who for ever sing this hymn to proclaim the glory of your Name:

the SanctuSCelebrant and People

Holy, holy, holy Lord, God of power and might, heaven and earth are full of your glory. Hosanna in the highest. Blessed is he who comes in the name of the Lord. Hosanna in the highest.

the Prayer of conSecratIon The People kneel. Then the Celebrant continues

Holy and gracious Father: In your infinite love you made us for yourself; and when we had sinned against you and become subject to evil and death, you, in your mercy, sent your only Son Jesus Christ into the world for our salvation. By the Holy Spirit and the Virgin Mary he became flesh and dwelt among us. In obedience to your will, he stretched out his arms upon the Cross and offered himself once for all, that by his suffering and death we might be saved. By his resurrection he broke the bonds of death, trampling Hell and Satan under his feet. As our great high priest, he ascended to your right hand in glory, that we might come with confidence before the throne of grace.

9

On the night that he was betrayed, our Lord Jesus Christ took bread; and when he had given thanks, he broke it, and gave it to his disciples, saying, “Take, eat; this is my Body, which is given for you: Do this in remembrance of me.”

Likewise, after supper, Jesus took the cup, and when he had given thanks, he gave it to them, saying, “Drink this, all of you; for this is my Blood of the New Covenant, which is shed for you, and for many, for the forgiveness of sins: Whenever you drink it, do this in remembrance of me.”

Therefore we proclaim the mystery of faith: Celebrant and PeoPle Christ has died. Christ is risen. Christ will come again.

The Celebrant continues

We celebrate the memorial of our redemption, O Father, in this sacrifice of praise and thanksgiving, and we offer you these gifts.

Sanctify them by your Word and Holy Spirit to be for your people the Body and Blood of your Son Jesus Christ. Sanctify us also, that we may worthily receive this holy Sacrament, and be made one body with him, that he may dwell in us and we in him. In the fullness of time, put all things in subjection under your Christ, and bring us with all your saints into the joy of your heavenly kingdom, where we shall see our Lord face to face.

All this we ask through your Son Jesus Christ: By him, and with him, and in him, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, all honor and glory is yours, Almighty Father, now and for ever. Amen.

the lorD’S Prayer The Celebrant continuesAnd now as our Savior Christ has taught us, we are bold to pray:

The Celebrant and People together pray

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name. Thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever and ever. Amen.

Hallelujah! What A SaviorWords & Music by Philip P. Bliss (1838-1876)

Quartet Singers

Man of Sorrows! what a name for the Son of God, who came ruined sinners to reclaim. Hallelujah! What a Savior! Lifted up was he to die; “It is finished!” was his cry; now in heaven exalted high. Hallelujah! What a Savior! When he comes, our glorious King, all his ransomed home to bring, then anew this song we’ll sing:

Hallelujah! What a Savior!© Words Public Domain.

Behold The LambBehold the Lamb who bears our sins away, slain for us:

And we remember the promise made that all who come in faithFind 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 ev’ry 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 respondAnd 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.

Yet Not I, But Through Christ In MeWhat gift of grace is Jesus, my Redeemer. There is no more for heaven now to give.

He is my joy, my righteousness and freedom, My steadfast love, my deep and boundless peace.

To this I hold: my hope is only Jesus. For my life is wholly bound to His.Oh how strange and divine, I can sing: all is mine!

Yet not I, but through Christ in me.

cloSIng hymn

Lead On, O King EternalLead on, O King eternal, the day of march has come;

Henceforth in fields of conquest thy tents shall be our home:Through days of preparation thy grace has made us strong,

And now, O King eternal, we lift our battle song.

Lead on, O King eternal, till sin’s fierce war shall cease,And holiness shall whisper the sweet amen of peace;

For not with swords loud clashing, nor roll of stirring drums,But deeds of love and mercy, the heavenly kingdom comes.

Lead on, O King eternal: we follow, not with fears;For gladness breaks like morning where’er thy face appears.

Thy cross is lifted o’er us; we journey in its light:The crown awaits the conquest; lead on, O God of might!
