2 To God be the Glory To God be the glory, great things he has done! So loved he the world that he gave us his Son, Who yielded his life an atonement for sin And opened the life-gate that all may go in. Chorus: Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the earth hear his voice! Praise the Lord! Praise the Lord! Let the people rejoice! Ovcome to the Father, through Jesus the Son, And give him the glory! Great things he has done! O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood, To every believer the promise of God! And every offender who truly believes, That moment from Jesus a pardon receives. Great things he has taught us, great things he has done, Ane great our rejoicing, through Jesus the Son; But purer, and higher, and greater will be Our wonder, our rapture, when Jesus we see. Frances Jane van Alstyne Great is Thy Faithfulness "Great is Thy faithfulness", O God my Father, There is no shadow of turning with Thee; Thou changest not, Thy compassions they fail not; As Thou has been Thou forever wilt be. Chorus: Great is Thy faithfulness! Great is Thy faithfulness! Moming by morning new mercies I see; All l have needed, Thy hand hath provided - "Great is Thy faithfulness," Lord unto me.

3 Summer and winter, and springtime and harvest, Sun, moon and stars in their courses above, loin with all nature in manifold witness, To Thy great faithfulness, mercy and love. Pardon for sin and a peace that endureth, - Thy own dear presence to cheer and to guide; Strength for today and bright hope for tomorrow, Blessings all mine, with ten thousand beside! William M. Runyon Be Still Be still, for the presence of the Lord The Holy One is here. Come, bow before Him now with reverence and fear. ln Him no sin is found, we stand on holy ground, Be still, for the presence of the Lord, the Holy One is here. Be still, for the glory of the Lord is shining all around He biurns with holy re, with splendour He is crowned. How awesome in the sight, our radiant King of light! Be still, for the glory of the Lord, is shining all around. Be still, for the power of the Lord is moving in this place. He comes to cleanse and heal, to minister His grace. No work too hard for Him, in faith receive from Him; Be still, for the power of the Lord,, is moving in this place. Dave Evans

4 How Great Thou Art Chorus: Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee, How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, my Saviour God, to thee, I-low great Thou art, how great Thou art! When I Sunrey the Wondrous Cross When I survey the wondrous cross On which the Prince of Glory died, My richest gain I count but loss, And pour contempt on all my pride. Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast Save in the death of Christ my God; All the vain things that charm me most, I sacrice them to his blood. See from his head, his hands, his feet, Sorrow and love ow mingled down; Did ere such love and sorrow meet, Or thorns compose so rich a crown? Were the whole realm of nature mine, That were a present far too small: Love so amazing, so divine, Demands my sou,my life, my all. Isaac Watts u Warner Qwamer Press.

Father forgive us. Strengthen us to love and obey you in newness of life; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen. Hear God's word of grace to us: If we confess our sins, he is faithful and just and will forgive us our sins and purify us from all unrighteousness. (1 John 1:9) PRAYER OF THANKSGIVING The Lord be with you And also with you Lift up your hearts We lift them to the Lord Let us give thanks to the Lord our God. It is right to give him our thanks and praise. Almighty Father, creator and sustainer of life. Your majesty and power, your continued blessings and your great goodness ll us with wonder. We are unworthy of the pardon you have mercifully granted, we can only bring our thanks, putting our trust in your Son, who alone saves us from evil.

7 We join with choirs of angels and the whole creation in that great revelation hymn and say. C: Holy, holy, holy is the Lord God Almighty, who was, and is, and is to come. You are worthy, our Lord and God, to receive glory and honour and power, For you created all things, and by your will they were created and have their being. Worthy is the Lamb, who was slain, to receive power and wealth and wisdom and strength and honour and glory and praise. God of glory, in thanks we remember how Jesus broke bread and gave the cup to make us partakers of his body and blood, so that he might live in us and we in him. God of mercy, in thanks we remember how Jesus invites us to his table, imprinting on our hearts his sacrice on the cross. In gratitude we declare his resurrection and glory, knowing that his intercession is essential for our salvation. Almighty God, pour out the Holy Spirit upon us, that as we receive the bread and cup we may be assured that Christ's promise in these signs will be fullled. Eternal Father, lift our hearts and minds on high where, with Jesus Christ Your only Son, and with the Holy Spirit, all glory is yours, now and for evermore. Amen. INSTITUTION On the night he was betrayed, Jesus took bread, gave thanks, broke it, and said: This is my body, which is for you. Do this for the remembrance of me. ln the same way also the cup, after supper, saying: This cup is the new covenant in my blood. Do this, whenever you drink it, for the remembrance of me. So, as we eat this bread and drink this cup, we proclaim the mystery of our faith:

8 C: Christ has died; Christ is risen; Christ will come again. Therefore, with the Church throughout the ages, we celebrate the life that Jesus creates among his people, the life that overcomes death. Come Holy Spirit May this bread and this cup be for us The body and blood of Christ Vibrant with life Healing, renewing making us whole. Come, Holy Spirit, come. DISTRIBUTION PRAYER We thank you, God our Father, That through word and sacrament You have given us your Son Who is the true bread of heaven And food of eternal life. So strengthen us in your service That our daily living may show our thanks; Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen C: Lord's Prayer: Together in your own language.
