Entrance Hymn: He is exalted (BB 178)
He is exalted
The King is exalted on high
I will praise Him
He is exalted forever exalted
And I will praise His name
He is the Lord
Forever His truth shall reign
Heaven and earth
Rejoice in His holy name
He is exalted
The King is exalted on high

Preparation Hymn: In Christ alone (HS 914)
In Christ alone my hope is found
He is my light my strength my song
This Cornerstone this solid Ground
Firm through the fiercest drought and storm
What heights of love what depths of peace
When fears are stilled when strivings cease
My Comforter my All in All
Here in the love of Christ I stand
In Christ alone who took on flesh
Fullness of God in helpless babe
This gift of love and righteousness
Scorned by the ones He came to save
Till on that cross as Jesus died
The wrath of God was satisfied
For every sin on Him was laid
Here in the death of Christ I live
There in the ground His body lay
Light of the world by darkness slain
Then bursting forth in glorious Day
Up from the grave He rose again
And as He stands in victory
Sin’s curse has lost its grip on me
For I am His and He is mine
Bought with the precious blood of Christ
No guilt in life no fear in death
This is the power of Christ in me
From life’s first cry to final breath
Jesus commands my destiny
No power of hell no scheme of man
Can ever pluck me from His hand
Till He returns or calls me home
Here in the power of Christ I’ll stand

Communion Hymn: Worthy is the lamb (BB 258)
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
To receive honor and glory
Worthy are the ones who believe
To receive the goodness of God
Worthy are You O Paschal Lamb
Wisdom and strength belong now to You
You laid down Your life and died upon the cross
We’ve become a people of hope
Worthy are You O Bread of Life
Salvation and joy belong now to us
By conquering death and rising to new life
We’ve become a people of praise
Worthy are You O Risen Christ
Wonders and signs revealing Your might
Your power and glory shines upon our lives
We’ve become a light for the world

Concluding Hymn: Sing a New Song to the Lord (Gather 541)
Sing a new song to the Lord,
He to whom wonders belong!
Rejoice in his triumph and tell of his power,
O sing to the Lord a new song!
Now to the ends of the earth
See his salvation is shown;
And still he remembers his mercy and truth,
Unchanging in love to his own.
Sing a new song and rejoice,
Publish his praises abroad!
Let voices in chorus, with trumpet and horn,
Resound for the joy of the Lord!
Join with the hills and the sea
Thunders of praise to prolong!
In judgment and justice he comes to the earth,
O sing to the Lord a new song!
