If Ye Love Me
Thomas Tallis
(1505-1585)
If ye love me, keep my commandments, and I will pray the Father, and he shall give
you another comforter, that he may bide with you for ever, ev’n the spirit of truth.

John 14:15-17
† At the sound of the bells, please prepare

The Choral Introit Psalm 150
Chant: George S. Talbot
(1875-1918)
(sung in procession)
Hallelujah! Praise God in his holy temple; praise him in the firmament of his power.
Praise him for his mighty acts; praise him for his excellent greatness. Praise him with
the blast of the ram’s horn; praise with lyre and harp. Praise him with timbrel and
dance; praise him with strings and pipe. Praise him with resounding cymbals; praise
him with loud clanging cymbals. Let everything that has breath praise the Lord.
Hallelujah!
Praise and Thanksgiving
At the Procession*
Hymn 159
Lift High the Cross
Crucifer
A Prayer for Outreach* Leader: As we sit in this place filled with light, we give thanks for all that God has done in our
midst and all God is doing in the world.
People: As a city on a hill cannot be hid, neither can God’s light in our midst.
Leader: We celebrate on this day all that we do as the body of Christ in Kenya, the Country of
Georgia, Nicaragua, places that we have been, and the places we have yet to go. As far
as the East is to the West, so too is God’s love for us.
People: As we honor the relationships that make our work possible, we anticipate the work
that we have yet to do as the body of Christ in this world. We go, because there is not
a place in this earth that we can go that God is not already there.
All:
Loving God, we pray that we would be the salt of the earth, and the light of the world.
AMEN.

Ministry of Music
Reach out in love
Sharon Dale
Jesus’ hands were kind hands, doing good to all, healing pain and sickness, blessing
children small, washing tired feet, and saving those who fall; Jesus’ hands were kind
hands, doing good to all. Take my hands, Lord Jesus, let them work for you; make
them strong and gentle, kind in all I do. Let me watch you, Jesus, till I’m gentle too,
till my hands are kind hands, quick to work for you. Reach out in love, and give your
hand, your heart, your everything the Lord did give you. Reach out in faith, and give
your hand, your heart, your everything the Lord did give you. Reach out in faith.
(8:45 am) The Cherub Choir
Let all the world in every corner sing
George Herbert
(1593-1633)
Let all the world in every corner sing. Let all the world in every corner sing, my God
and King. The heavens are not too high, God’s praises there may fly, the earth is not
too low, God’s praises there may grow. If the church with psalms will shout, no door
can keep us out as we praise our God and King.
(11:15 am) The Covenant Choir

All Things Bright and Beautiful
Hymn 147
Royal Oak
(stanza one)
All things bright and beautiful, all creatures great and small, all things wise and
wonderful, the Lord God made them all. Each little flower that opens, each little bird
that sings, God made their glowing colors, and made their tiny wings. Refrain

The Spirit of God like a fire is burning
(b. 1955)
The Spirit of God like a fire is burning! The latter day glory begins to come forth. The
visions and blessings of old are returning and angels are coming to visit the earth.
Refrain: We’ll sing and we’ll shout with the armies of heaven. Hosanna to God and to the
Lamb! Let glory to them in the highest be given, henceforth and forever. Amen and amen!
The Lord is extending the saints’ understanding, restoring their judges and all as
at first. The knowledge and power of God are expanding; the veil o’er the earth is
beginning to burst.
Refrain:
How blessed the day when the lamb and the lion shall lie down together without any
ire. And Ephraim be crowned with his blessing in Zion, as Jesus descends with his
chariot of fire!
