CHIMING OF THE HOUR

PRELUDE All Hail the Power of Jesus’ Name Holden

INTROIT We Sing to You, O God Darwall

OPENING PRAYER

*HYMN Fairest Lord Jesus UM Hymnal, 189

PROCLAMATION AND RESPONSE

*AFFIRMATION The Apostle’s Creed UM Hymnal, 881 I believe in God the Father Almighty,

maker of heaven and earth;

And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord:

who was conceived by the Holy Spirit,

born of the Virgin Mary,

suffered under Pontius Pilate,

was crucified, dead, and buried;

the third day he arose from the dead;

he ascended into heaven,

and sitteth at the right hand of God the Father Almighty;

from thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead.

I believe in the Holy Spirit,

the holy catholic church,

the communion of saints,

the forgiveness of sins,

the resurrection of the body,

and the life everlasting. Amen.

*GLORIA PATRI Glory be to the Father and to the Son and to the Holy Ghost;

As it was in the beginning, in now, and ever shall be, world without end.

PSALTER from Psalm 126 When the LORD restored the fortunes of Zion,

we were like those who dream.

Then our mouth was filled with laughter,

and our tongue with shouts of joy;

then it was said among the nations,

“The LORD has done great things for them.”

The LORD has done great things for us,

and we rejoiced.

May those who sow in tears reap with shouts of joy.

Those who go out weeping, bearing the seed for sowing,

shall come home with shouts of joy, carrying their sheaves.

CALL TO PRAYER The Lord be with you.

And also with you.

Let us pray.

CHORUS I Love You, Lord Klein I love you, Lord, and I lift my voice

to worship you, O my soul rejoice.

Take joy, my King, in what you hear,

may it be a sweet, sweet sound in your ear.

THE GREAT THANKSGIVING UM Hymnal, 13

THE LORD’S PRAYER UM Hymnal, 895 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. Amen.

GIVING THE BREAD AND THE CUP

PRAYER A Covenant Prayer UM Hymnal, 607 I am no longer my own, but thine.

Put me to what thou wilt, rank me with whom thou wilt.

Put me to doing, put me to suffering.

Let me be employed by thee or laid aside for thee,

exalted for thee or brought low by thee.

Let me be full, let me be empty.

Let me have all things, let me have nothing.

I freely and heartily yield all things to thy pleasure and disposal.

And now, O glorious and blessed God, Father, Son, and Holy Spirit,

thou art mine, and I am thine. So be it.

And the covenant which I have made on earth, let it be ratified in heaven.

Amen.
