Prelude: Psalm 23 (HS 916)
The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want
He makes me lie in pastures green
He leads me by the still still waters
His goodness restores my soul
And I will trust in You alone
And I will trust in You alone
For Your endless mercy follows me
Your goodness will lead me home
(Descant)
I will trust I will trust in You
I will trust I will trust in You
Endless mercy follows me
Goodness will lead me home
He guides my ways in righteousness
And He anoints my head with oil
And my cup it overflows with joy
I feast on His pure delights
And though I walk the darkest path
I will not fear the evil one
For You are with me
And Your rod and staff
Are the comfort I need to know

Entrance Hymn: Christ is Made the Sure Foundation (Gather 642)
Christ is made the sure foundation,
Christ the head and cornerstone;
Chosen of the Lord, and precious,
Binding all the Church in one;
Holy Zion’s help for ever,
And her confidence alone.
To this temple where we call you,
Come, O Lord of hosts, today;
With your wonted loving kindness
Hear your servants as they pray,
And your fullest benediction
Shed in all its bright array.
Grant, we pray, to all your people,
All the grace they ask to gain;
What they gain from you for ever
With the blessed to retain,
And here-after in your glory
Evermore with you to reign.

Preparation Hymn: Christ the Lord Is Risen Today (Gather 439)
Christ the Lord is ris’n today, Alleluia!
All on earth with angels say, Alleluia!
Raise your joys and triumphs high, Alleluia!
Sing, O heav’ns, and earth reply, Alleluia!
Lives again our glorious King; Alleluia!
Where, O death, is now your sting? Alleluia!
Once he died our souls to save, Alleluia!
Where your victory, O grave? Alleluia!
Love’s redeeming work is done, Alleluia!
Fought the fight, the battle won. Alleluia!
Death in vain forbids him rise; Alleluia!
Christ has opened paradise. Alleluia!
Soar we now where Christ has led, Alleluia!
Foll’wing our exalted head; Alleluia!
Made like him, like him we rise, Alleluia!
Ours the cross, the grave, the skies. Alleluia!

Communion Hymn: This Is Jesus (HS 915)
This is Jesus
Emmanuel God is with us
In this sacrament
Come receive Him adore Him
This is Jesus our Lord
Bright Star of David
Radiance of God
Now become the living bread
The body of the Lord
Come in adoration
Receive with trembling hands
The sacrament most holy
The banquet of the Lamb
Drink of living waters
Flowing from the Lord
Taste the cup of blessing
Partake of precious blood
River of salvation
Holy cleansing tide
Fountain of redemption
Flowing from the Savior’s side
Priest of highest honor
King and Sov’reign Lord
Unblemished Lamb of sacrifice
Your very life outpoured
Royal Paschal victim
True begotten Son
Offered as our ransom
By the Holy One

Concluding Hymn: Rejoice the Lord is King (Gather 493)
Rejoice, the Lord is King!
Your Lord and King adore!
Rejoice, give thanks, and sing,
And triumph evermore:
Lift up your heart, lift up your voice!
Rejoice, again I say, rejoice!
The Lord, our Savior, reigns,
The God of truth and love;
When he had purged our sins,
He took his seat above:
His kingdom cannot fail,
He rules o’er earth and heav’n;
The keys of death and hell
Are to our Jesus giv’n:
Rejoice in glorious hope!
Our Lord the judge shall come
And take his servants up
To their eternal home:
