Entrance Hymn: Christ is Made the Sure Foundation (Gather 642)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/Christ-Is-Made-the-Sure-Foundation-GC2642-1-92119-e1614617496962.png)
Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone;
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the Church in one;
Holy Zion’s help for ever,
And her confidence alone.
To this temple where we call you,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With your wonted loving kindness
Hear your servants as they pray,
And your fullest benediction
Shed in all its bright array.
Grant, we pray, to all your people,
All the grace they ask to gain;
What they gain from you for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And here-after in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.

Preparation Hymn: Depth Of Mercy (HS 917)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/03/Depth-of-Mercy-e1625236125563.png)
Depth of mercy can there be
Mercy reaching even me
God the just His wrath forbears
Me the chief of sinners spares
So many times my heart has strayed
From His kind and perfect ways
Making clear my desp’rate need
For His blood poured out for me
Give me grace Lord let me own
All the wrongs that I have done
Let me now my sins deplore
Look to You and sin no more
There for me the Savior stands
Holding forth His wounded hands
Scars which ever cry for me
Once condemned but now set free

Communion Hymn: Come to the Water (Gather 502)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/Come-to-the-Water-e1625237021375.gif)
O let all who thirst,
let them come to the water.
And let all who have nothing,
let them come to the Lord:
without money, without price.
Why should you pay the price,
except for the Lord?
And let all who seek,
let them come to the water.
And let all who have nothing,
let them come to the Lord:
without money, without strife.
Why should you spend your life,
except for the Lord?
And let all who toil,
let them come to the water.
And let all who are weary,
let them come to the Lord:
all who labor, without rest.
How can your soul find rest,
except for the Lord?
And let all the poor,
let them come to the water,
Bring the ones who are laden,
bring them all to the Lord:
bring the children without might.
Easy the load and light:
come to the Lord.

![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Love-Divine-All-Loves-Excelling-GC2613-1-92268.png)
Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heav’n to earth come down!
Fix in us your humble dwelling,
All your faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, source of all compassion,
Love unbounded, love all pure;
Visit us with your salvation,
Let your love in us endure.
Come, Almighty, to deliver,
Let us all your life receive;
Suddenly return and never,
Nevermore your temples leave.
You we would be always blessing,
Serve you as your hosts above,
Pray, and praise you without ceasing,
Glory in your precious love.
Finish then your new creation,
Pure and spotless, gracious Lord.
Let us see your great salvation
Perfectly in you restored.
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heav’n we take our place,
Till we sing before the_Almighty
Lost in wonder, love and praise.

Alternate Hymn: Only This I Want (Gather 701)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Only-This-I-Want-GC2701-1-92506.png)
Only this I want:
but to know the Lord,
and to bear his cross,
so to wear the crown he wore.
All but this is loss,
worthless refuse to me,
for to gain the Lord
is to gain all I need.
I will run the race;
I will fight the good fight,
so to win the prize
of the kingdom of my Lord.
Let your heart be glad,
always glad in the Lord,
so to shine like stars
in the darkness of the night.

Alternate Hymn: You Have Anointed Me (Gather 662)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/06/You-Have-Anointed-Me-GC676-1-607-e1638925592749.png)
To bring glad tidings to the lowly, to heal the broken heart,
You have anointed me.
To proclaim liberty to captives, release to prisoners,
You have anointed me.
Your Spirit, O God, is upon me, You have anointed me.
To announce a year of favor, to comfort those who mourn,
You have anointed me.
To give to them the oil of gladness, and share a mantle of joy,
You have anointed me.

Alternate Hymn: Canticle of the Turning (Gather 527)

1. My soul cries out with a joyful shout that the God of my heart is great,
And my spirit sings of the wondrous things that you bring to the ones who wait.
You fixed your sight on your servant’s plight, and my weakness you did not spurn,
So from east to west shall my name be blest. Could the world be about to turn?
My heart shall sing of the day you bring. Let the fires of your justice burn.
Wipe away all tears, for the dawn draws near, and the world is about to turn!
2. Though I am small, my God, my all, you work great things in me,
And your mercy will last from the depths of the past to the end of the age to be.
Your very name puts the proud to shame, and to those who would for you yearn,
You will show your might, put the strong to flight, for the world is about to turn.
3. From the halls of power to the fortress tower, not a stone will be left on stone.
Let the king beware for your justice tears ev’ry tyrant from his throne.
The hungry poor shall weep no more, for the food they can never earn;
There are tables spread, ev’ry mouth be fed, for the world is about to turn.
4. Though the nations rage from age to age, we remember who holds us fast:
God’s mercy must deliver us from the conqueror’s crushing grasp.
This saving word that our forebears heard is the promise which holds us bound,
‘Til the spear and rod can be crushed by God, who is turning the world around.
