Prelude: Here I am to Worship (HS 908)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/908-Here-I-Am-to-Worship-Songbook_0001-e1615052833991.png)
Light of the world
You stepped down into darkness
Opened my eyes, let me see
Beauty that made
This heart adore You
Hope of a life spent with You
So here I am to worship
Here I am to bow down
Here I am to say that You’re my God
And You’re altogether lovely
Altogether worthy
Altogether wonderful to me
King of all days
Oh so highly exalted
Glorious in heaven above
Humbly You came
To the earth You created
All for love’s sake became poor
And I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross
And I’ll never know how much it cost
To see my sin upon that cross

Entrance Hymn: O God, Our Help in Ages Past (Gather 588)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/O-God-Our-Help-in-Ages-Past-GC2588-1-92294.png)
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Our shelter from the stormy blast,
And our eternal home.
Under the shadow of your throne
Your saints have dwelt secure;
Sufficient is your arm alone,
And our defense is sure.
Before the hills in order stood,
Or earth received its frame,
From everlasting you are God,
To endless years the same.
A thousand ages in your sight
Are like an evening gone,
Short as the watch that ends the night
Before the rising sun.
Time, like an ever rolling stream,
Soon bears us all away;
We fly forgotten, as a dream
Dies at the op’ning day.
O God, our help in ages past,
Our hope for years to come,
Still be our guard while troubles last,
And our eternal home.

Offertory Hymn: Only in God (Gather 591)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/06/Only-in-God-GC2591-1-92490.png)
Only in God will my soul be at rest. From him comes my hope, my salvation.
He alone is my rock of safety, my strength, my glory, my God.
Trust in him at all times, O people, and pour out your hearts.
God himself is a refuge for us and a stronghold for our fear.
Many times have I heard him tell of his long lasting love.
You yourself, Lord, reward all who labor for love of your name.

Communion Hymn: Bread of Heaven (BB 277)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2022/03/Bread-of-Heaven.gif)
Bread of heaven, Savior broken,
cup of life outpoured;
we your people thirst and hunger.
Come renew us, Lord;
come renew us, Lord.
1. From the mountain, blessing spoken
where we came to pray;
with the simple truth before us:
love them in my name;
love them in my name.
2. From the garden dark with sorrow,
from the tears you wept,
bloomed the flower of salvation:
new life born of death,
new life born of death.
Bridge
From the hill where love was lifted
on the heavy wood,
flow the blood and streams of mercy
where your Mother stood,
where your Mother stood. (to Verse 3)
3. From the tomb that could not hold you
in the dark of night,
broke that morning of redemption,
raising us to life,
raising us to life.

![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2023/02/Exposition_O-Saving-Victim.gif)
1. O King Exalted, savior of nations,
we lift our eyes to heaven’s throne.
Hear us, Redeemer, show us your mercy;
we place our trust in you alone.
O Saving Victim, open wide
the gate of heaven to us below.
Our foes press on from every side;
thine aid supply, thy strength bestow.
2. Might of the Father, way of salvation,
no sin is hidden from your sight.
Show us your mercy, free us from darkness,
reveal to us your glorious light.Bridge
Worthy is the Lamb.
