Entrance Hymn: Love Divine, All Loves Excelling (Gather 613)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2021/09/Love-Divine-All-Loves-Excelling-GC2613-1-92268.png)
Love divine, all loves excelling,
Joy of heav’n to earth come down!
Fix in us your humble dwelling,
All your faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, source of all compassion,
Love unbounded, love all pure;
Visit us with your salvation,
Let your love in us endure.
Come, Almighty, to deliver,
Let us all your life receive;
Suddenly return and never,
Nevermore your temples leave.
You we would be always blessing,
Serve you as your hosts above,
Pray, and praise you without ceasing,
Glory in your precious love.
Finish then your new creation,
Pure and spotless, gracious Lord.
Let us see your great salvation
Perfectly in you restored.
Changed from glory into glory,
Till in heav’n we take our place,
Till we sing before the_Almighty
Lost in wonder, love and praise.

Preparation Hymn: The King Of Love My Shepherd Is (Gather 631)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/The-King-of-Love-e1615238843319.png)
The King of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness fails me never;
I nothing lack if I am his,
And he is mine for ever.
Where streams of living water flow
My ransomed soul he’s leading,
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feeding.
Confused and foolish oft I strayed,
But yet in love he sought me;
And on his shoulder gently laid,
And home, rejoicing, brought me.
In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With you, dear Lord, beside me,
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.
You spread a table in my sight;
Your saving grace bestowing;
And O what transport of delight
From your pure chalice flowing!
And so through all the length of days
Your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
Within your house for ever.

Communion Hymn: You Satisfy the Hungry Heart (Gather 816)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/08/You-Satisfy-the-Hungry-Heart-e1622596480972.png)
You satisfy the hungry heart
With gift of finest wheat;
Come give to us, O saving Lord,
The bread of life to eat.
As when the shepherd calls his sheep,
They know and heed his voice;
So when you call your fam’ly, Lord,
We follow and rejoice.
With joyful lips we sing to you
Our praise and gratitude,
That you should count us worthy, Lord,
To share this heav’nly food.
Is not the cup we bless and share
The blood of Christ outpoured?
Do not one cup, one loaf, declare
Our oneness in the Lord?
The myst’ry of your presence, Lord,
No mortal tongue can tell:
Whom all the world cannot contain
Comes in our hearts to dwell.
You give yourself to us, O Lord;
Then selfless let us be,
To serve each other in your name
In truth and charity.

Concluding Hymn: Sing a New Song to the Lord (Gather 541)
![](https://www.stfrancisa2.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/Sing-a-New-Song-to-the-Lord-e1619800235782.png)
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!

Alleluia, alleluia, give thanks to the risen Lord.

Spread the good news o’er all the earth:
Jesus has died and has risen.
We have been crucified with Christ.
Now we shall live for ever.
God has proclaimed his gracious gift:
Life eternal for all who believe.
Come, let us praise the living God,
Joyfully sing to our Savior.
