Prelude: Alleluia No 1 (RS 620)
Alleluia, alleluia, give thanks to the risen Lord.
Alleluia, alleluia, give praise to his Name.
Jesus is Lord of all the earth.
He is the King of creation.
Spread the good news o’er all the earth:
Jesus has died and has risen.
We have been crucified with Christ.
Now we shall live for ever.
God has proclaimed his gracious gift:
Life eternal for all who believe.
Come, let us praise the living God,
Joyfully sing to our Savior.

Entrance Hymn: Holy Holy Holy (RS 659)
Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.
Holy, Holy, Holy! all the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
God everlasting through eternity.
Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in pow’r, in love, and purity.
Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy Name in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.

Preparation Hymn: For the Beauty of the Earth (RS 734)
For the beauty of the earth,
For the glory of the skies,
For the love which from our birth
Over and around us lies:
Lord of all, to you we raise
This our hymn of grateful praise.
For the beauty of each hour
Of the day and of the night,
Hill and vale, and tree and flow’r,
Sun and moon, and stars of light:
For the joy of ear and eye,
For the heart and mind’s delight,
For the mystic harmony
Linking sense to sound and sight:
For the joy of human love,
Brother, sister, parent, child,
Friends on earth, and friends above;
For all gentle thoughts and mild:
For your Church that evermore
Lifts its holy hands above,
Off’ring up on ev’ry shore
Its pure sacrifice of love:
For yourself, best Gift Divine,
To this world so freely giv’n;
Word Incarnate, God’s design,
Peace on earth and joy in heav’n:

Communion Hymn: This Is Jesus
This is Jesus
Emmanuel God is with us
In this sacrament
Come receive Him adore Him
This is Jesus our Lord
Bright Star of David
Radiance of God
Now become the living bread
The body of the Lord
Come in adoration
Receive with trembling hands
The sacrament most holy
The banquet of the Lamb
Drink of living waters
Flowing from the Lord
Taste the cup of blessing
Partake of precious blood
River of salvation
Holy cleansing tide
Fountain of redemption
Flowing from the Savior’s side
Priest of highest honor
King and Sov’reign Lord
Unblemished Lamb of sacrifice
Your very life outpoured
Royal Paschal victim
True begotten Son
Offered as our ransom
By the Holy One

Communion Hymn: Now Thank We All Our God (RS 743)
Now thank we all our God
With hearts and hands and voices,
Who wondrous things has done,
In whom his world rejoices;
Who, from our mothers’ arms,
Hath blest us on our way
With countless gifts of love,
And still is ours today.
O may this gracious God
Through all our life be near us,
With ever joyful hearts
And blessed peace to cheer us;
Preserve us in his grace,
And guide us in distress,
And free us from all harm,
Till heaven we possess.
All praise and thanks to God
The Father now be given,
The Son and him who reigns
With them in highest heaven,
The one eternal God,
Whom earth and heav’n adore;
For thus it was, is now,
And shall be evermore.

Concluding Hymn: Sing a New Song (RS 718)
Sing a new song unto the Lord; let your song be sung from mountains high.
Sing a new song unto the Lord, singing alleluia.
1. Shout with gladness! Dance for joy! O come before the Lord.
And play for God on glad tambourines, and let your trumpet sound.
2. Rise, O children, from your sleep; your Savior now has come.
He has turned your sorrow to joy, and filled your soul with song.
3. Glad my soul for I have seen the glory of the Lord.
The trumpet sounds; the dead shall be raised. I know my Savior lives.
