Entrance Hymn: I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say (Gather 622)
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast.’
I came to Jesus as I was,
So weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live.’
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
‘I am this dark world’s light;
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
And all your day be bright.’
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I’ll walk
Till trav’ling days are done.

O Lord, the guardian of my heart,

Communion Hymn: Taste and See (Gather 827)
Taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord.
O taste and see, taste and see the goodness of the Lord, of the Lord.
I will bless the Lord at all times. Praise shall always be on my lips;
my soul shall glory in the Lord for God has been so good to me.
Glorify the Lord with me. Together let us all praise God’s name.
I called the Lord who answered me; from all my troubles I was set free.
Worship the Lord, all you people. You’ll want for nothing if you ask.
Taste and see that the Lord is good; in God we need put all our trust.

Concluding Hymn: Rejoice, the Lord is King (Gather 493)
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
The Lord, our Savior, reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purged our sins,
He took his seat above:
His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o’er earth and heav’n;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus giv’n:
Rejoice in glorious hope!
Our Lord the judge shall come
And take his servants up
To their eternal home:

Alternate Hymn: Psalm 23 (HS 916)
The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still still waters
His goodness restores my soul
And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home
(Descant)
I will trust I will trust in You
I will trust I will trust in You
Endless mercy follows me
Goodness will lead me home
He guides my ways in righteousness
And He anoints my head with oil
And my cup it overflows with joy
I feast on His pure delights
And though I walk the darkest path
I will not fear the evil one
For You are with me
And Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know

Alternate Hymn: Like a Shepherd (Gather 332)
Like a shepherd he feeds his flock and gathers the lambs in his arms,
holding them carefully close to his heart, leading them home.
Say to the cities of Judah: Prepare the way of the Lord.
Go to the mountain top, lift your voice; Jerusalem, here is your God.
I myself will shepherd them, for others have led them astray.
The lost I will rescue and heal their wounds
and pasture them, giving them rest.
Come unto me if you are heavily burdened,
and take my yoke upon your shoulders, I will give you rest.

Alternate Hymn: There Is a Longing (BB 374)
There is a longing in our hearts, O Lord,
for you to reveal yourself to us.
There is a longing in our hearts
for love we only find in you, our God.
For justice, for freedom,
for mercy: hear our prayer.
In sorrow, in grief:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.
For wisdom, for courage,
for comfort: hear our prayer.
In weakness, in fear:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.
For healing, for wholeness,
for new life: hear our prayer.
In sickness, in death:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.
Lord save us, take pity,
light in our darkness.
We call you, we wait:
be near, hear our prayer, O God.
