THE OFFERTORY THE HYMN Celebrating Holy Week 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. Ave Verum Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart, KV 618 When I Survey the Wondrous Cross 3 Praise the God of resurrection! Heaven s joy your hearts express! Center all your soul s affection on salvation s full success! Risen up above all splendor, gath ring heaven s ransomed throng bow before our Great Defender, Jesus Christ, the Lord of all! Once forsaken by the Father. Jesus bore the weight of sin. Now His children all to gather, Son of Spirit, seed of woman, planted by the God of grace, as the firstfruits of creation, risen once for ev ry race. Joyful, joyful, we adore Thee, God of glory, Lord of love; hearts unfold like flowers before Thee, opening to the sun above. Melt the clouds of sin and sadness, drive the dark of doubt away. Giver of immortal gladness, fill us with the light of day! All Thy works with joy surround Thee, earth and heav n reflect Thy rays, stars and angels sing around Thee, center of unbroken praise. Field and forest, vale and mountain, flowery meadow, flashing sea, chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee. Alleluia! Alleluia! Jesus Christ is risen! Alleluia!

Sing, ye heavens, and earth reply, Alleluia! Lives again our glorious King, Alleluia! Where, O death, is now thy sting? Alleluia! Once He died, our souls to save, Alleluia! Where s thy victory, boasting grave? Alleluia! 8

5 Up from the Grave He Arose Forbid it, Lord, that I should boast, save in the death of Christ, my God; All the vain things that charm me most I sacrifice them to His blood. See, from His head, His hands, His feet, sorrow and love flow mingled down; did e er 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 soul, my life, my all. Behold the Man Words and Music by Jimmy Owens Behold the Man wounded and bruised, crowned with thorns. He was despised, rejected. Behold the Man. Man of Sorrows, acquainted with grief. We hid our faces from Him. We didn t know that it was for our sins He died; that for us the Son of God was crucified; that in love He bore our sorrow and pain; and in love He willingly suffered. Behold the Man suff ring in silence bearing our shame. We hid our faces from Him. We didn t know that this was God the Father s plan born of love to bring redemption down to man. That in love He gave His only Son, so that we might be forgiven. Behold the Man risen in glory, coming to reign. By the Father exalted crowned with glory and honor. Behold the Man King of Kings, and Lord of Lords. Through all creation Jesus Christ is Lord. He is Lord. THE SOLO There Is a Green Hill Far Away Words by Cecil Frances Alexander Music by Charles Gounod 7 4

6 The Old Rugged Cross Words by George Bernard, 1913 Music arranged by Vicki Wright On a hill far away stood an old rugged cross, the emblem of suffering and shame; and I love that old cross, where the dearest and best for a world of lost sinners was slain. So I ll cherish the old rugged cross, til my trophies at last I lay down. I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it someday for a crown. In the old rugged cross, stained with blood so divine, such a wonderful beauty I see; for twas on that old cross Jesus suffered and died to pardon and sanctify me. So I ll cherish the cross, the old rugged cross, til my trophies at last I lay down. I will cling to the old rugged cross and exchange it someday for a crown. Beyond the cross there s a crown. I ll exchange it someday for a crown. I ll cherish the cross, the old rugged cross.. What Wondrous Love Is This What wondrous love is this, O my soul, O my soul? What wondrous love is this, O my soul? What wondrous love is this that caused the Lord of bliss To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul; To bear the dreadful curse for my soul? Was it for crimes that I have done, He suffered on the tree? Amazing pity! Grace unknown! And love beyond degree! At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day! But drops of grief can ne er repay the debt of love I owe: Here, Lord, I give myself away, Tis all that I can do! At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day! Behold the Lamb Words and Music by Dottie Rambo Music arranged by David T. Clydesdale Behold the Lamb, behold the Lamb, slain from the foundation of the world. For sinners crucified, O, Holy sacrifice, behold the Lamb of God! Celebrating The Resurrection At the Cross Alas, and did my Savior bleed? And did my Sovereign die? Would He devote that sacred head for someone such as I? At the cross, at the cross where I first saw the light, And the burden of my heart rolled away, It was there by faith I received my sight, And now I am happy all the day!
