And He is Lord.
Ev’ry knee shall bow,

Communion 2: 321 Crown him with many crowns

Crown him with many crowns, 
the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns 
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of him 
who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King 
through all eternity.

Crown him the virgin's Son, 
the God incarnate born,
whose arm those crimson trophies won 
which now His brow adorn;
fruit of the mystic rose, 
as of that rose the stem;
the root whence mercy ever flows, 
the Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown him the Lord of love.
Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angels in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bend their burning eyes
At mysteries so bright.

Crown him the Lord of peace, 
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease, 
and all be prayer and praise.
his reign shall know no end, 
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown him the Lord of Heaven, 
one with the Father known,
and the blest Spirit through him given 
from yonder triune throne:
all hail, Redeemer, hail,
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

Recessional: 287 Thine be the glory

1. Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory, thou o'er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay.

Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, thou o'er death hast won.

2. Lo, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
for her Lord is living, death has lost its sting. (Refrain)

3. No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is naught without thee; aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors, through Thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above. (Refrain)

In bread we bring you Lord, our body's' labour
In wine we offer you our spirit's grief.
We do not ask you, Lord, who is my neighbour,
But stand united now, one in belief.

O we have gladly heard your word, your holy word
And now in answer, Lord, our gifts we bring.
Our selfish hearts make true, our failing faith renew,
Our life belongs to you, our Lord and King.

The bread we offer you is blessed and broken,
And it becomes for us our spirit’s food.
Over the cup we bring your Word is spoken;
Make it your gift to us your healing blood.

Take all that daily toil plants in our heart’s poor soil,
Take all we start and spoil, each hopeful dream.
The chances we have missed, the graces we resist,
Lord, in thy Eucharist, take and redeem.

5. You are mine, O my child, I am your Father
and I love you with a perfect love.


Final hymn: 969 Lord of all hopefulness

Lord of all hopefulness, Lord of all joy,
Whose trust, ever childlike, no cares could destroy,
Be there at our waking, and give us, we pray,
Your bliss in our hearts, Lord,
At the break of the day.

Lord of all eagerness, Lord of all faith,
Whose strong hands were skilled at the plane and the lathe,
Be there at our labours and give us, we pray,
Your strength in our hearts, Lord,
At the noon of the day.

Lord of all kindliness, Lord of all grace,
Your hands swift to welcome, Your arms to embrace.
Be there at our homing, and give us, we pray,
Your love in our hearts, Lord,
At the eve of the day.

Lord of all gentleness, Lord of all calm,
Whose voice is contentment, whose presence is balm,
Be there at our sleeping, and give us, we pray,
Your peace in our hearts, Lord,
At the end of the day.

Lord, you are my shepherd,
you are my friend.

just to follow my friend.

Even when death is close I have courage,
for your help is there.

for my enemies to see.
You make me welcome, pouring down honor
from your mighty hand,

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.

be to us eternal light. (refrain)

Shepherd-king, o'er mountains steep
homeward bring the wandering sheep;
shelter in one royal fold
states and kingdoms, new and old. (refrain)

739 In a byre near Bethlehem
End: 321 Crown him with many Crowns

Entrance:  288  On the Journey to Emmaus (by Marty Haugen)

On the journey to Emmaus with our hearts cold as stone-
the One who would save us had left us alone.
Then a stranger walks with us and, to our surprise,
he opens our stories and he opens our eyes.

And our hearts burned within us as we talked on the way,
how all that was promised was ours on that day.
So we begged him, 'Stay with us and grant us your word.'
We welcomed the stranger and we welcomed the Lord.

And that evening at the table as he blessed and broke bread,
we saw it was Jesus aris'n from the dead;
Though he vanished before us we knew he was near -
the life in our dying and the hope in our fear.

On the journey to Emmaus, in our stories and feast,
with Jesus we claim that the greatest is least:
and his words burn within us - let none be ignored -
who welcomes the stranger shall welcome the Lord.

739 In a byre near Bethlehem
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=O7uEkl6GNvE (this key is much lower than our book though)
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Pm0XEV7E_8Y  (Instrumental version - we will sing in this key)
 
In a byre near Bethlehem 
Passed by many a wandering stranger
The most precious Word of Life 
Was heard gurgling in a manger 
For the good of us all 

By the Galilean Lake 
Where the people flocked for teaching 
The most precious Word of Life 
Fed their mouths as well as preaching 
For the good of us all

And He’s here when we call Him 
Bringing health, love, and laughter 
To life now and ever after
For the good of us all

Quiet was Gethsemane 
Camouflaging priest and soldier 
The most precious Word of Life 
Took the world's weight on His shoulder
For the good of us all 

On the hill of Calvary 
Place to end all hope of living
The most precious Word of Life 
Breathed His last and died, forgiving 
For the good of us all 

In a garden, just at dawn
Near the grave of human violence
The most precious Word of Life
Cleared His throat and ended silence 
For the good of us all


End: 321 Crown him with many Crowns

Crown him with many crowns, 
the Lamb upon his throne.
Hark! How the heavenly anthem drowns 
all music but its own.
Awake, my soul, and sing of him 
who died for thee,
and hail him as thy matchless King 
through all eternity.

Crown him the virgin's Son, 
the God incarnate born,
whose arm those crimson trophies won 
which now His brow adorn;
fruit of the mystic rose, 
as of that rose the stem;
the root whence mercy ever flows, 
the Babe of Bethlehem.

Crown him the Lord of love.
Behold his hands and side,
Rich wounds, yet visible above,
In beauty glorified.
No angels in the sky
Can fully bear that sight,
But downward bend their burning eyes
At mysteries so bright.

Crown him the Lord of peace, 
whose power a sceptre sways
from pole to pole, that wars may cease, 
and all be prayer and praise.
his reign shall know no end, 
and round his pierced feet
fair flowers of paradise extend
their fragrance ever sweet.

Crown him the Lord of Heaven, 
one with the Father known,
and the blest Spirit through him given 
from yonder triune throne:
all hail, Redeemer, hail,
for thou hast died for me;
thy praise shall never, never fail
throughout eternity.

Lamb of God: 590 Storrington Mass

Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world:
have mercy on us.
Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world:
have mercy on us.

Lamb of God, you take away
the sins of the world:
grant us peace, grant us peace.

Communion:
284 We walk by faith

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
no gracious words we hear
of Him who spoke as none e'er spoke;
but we believe Him near.

We may not touch his hands and side,
nor follow where he trod;
yet in his promise we rejoice;
and cry, "My Lord and God!"

Help then, O Lord, our unbelief;
and may our faith abound,
to call on you when you are near,
and seek where you are found:

that, when our life of faith is done,
in realms of clearer light
we may behold you as you are,
with full and endless sight.

We walk by faith, and not by sight;
no gracious words we hear
of Him who spoke as none e'er spoke;
but we believe Him near.

660 Godhead here in hiding

1. Godhead here in hiding whom I do adore
Masked by these bare shadows, shape and nothing more.
See, Lord, at thy service low lies here a heart
Lost, all lost in wonder at the God thou art.

2. Seeing, touching, tasting are in thee deceived;
How says trusty hearing? that shall be believed;
What God's Son has told me, take for truth I do;
Truth himself speaks truly or there's nothing true.

3. On the cross thy godhead made no sign to men;
Here thy very manhood steals from human ken:
Both are my confession, both are my belief,
And I pray the prayer of the dying thief.

4. I am not like Thomas, wounds I cannot see,
But I plainly call thee Lord and God as he:
This faith each day deeper be my holding of,
Daily make me harder hope and dearer love.

5. O thou, our reminder of Christ Crucified,
Living Bread, the life of us for whom he died,
Lend this life to me, then; feed and feast my mind,
There be thou the sweetness man was meant to find.

6. Jesus whom I look at shrouded here below,
I beseech thee send me what I long for so,
Some day to gaze on thee face to face in light
And be blest forever with thy glory's sight.

Final: 761 He is Lord 

(I'll try to split out the harmonies.  I just made them up when I recorded this!)
 
He is Lord, He is Lord.
He has risen from the dead
And He is Lord.
Ev’ry knee shall bow,
Ev’ry tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is Lord.

He is King, He is King.
He has risen from the dead
And He is King.
Ev’ry knee shall bow,
Ev’ry tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is King.

He is love, He is love.
He has risen from the dead
And He is love.
Ev’ry knee shall bow,
Ev’ry tongue confess
That Jesus Christ is love.

Communion:

607 Let all mortal flesh keep silence 

Let all mortal flesh keep silence,
And with fear and trembling stand;
Ponder nothing worldly minded,
For with blessing in His hand
Christ our God to Earth descendeth,
Our full homage to demand.

King of Kings, yet born of Mary,
As of old on Earth He stood,
Lord of Lords in human vesture,
in the Body and the Blood.
He will give to all the faithful
his own self for heav’nly food.

Rank on rank the host of heaven
preads its vanguard on the way,
as the Light of Light descendeth
from the realms of endless day,
that the pow’rs of hell may vanish
as the darkness clears away.

At His feet the six-winged Seraph,
Cherubim with sleepless eye,
veil their faces to the Presence,
as with ceaseless voice they cry,
‘Alleluia, alleluia,
Alleluia, Lord, most High!’


883 Christ be our light

1. Longing for light, we wait in darkness.
Longing for truth, we turn to you.
Make us your own, your holy people,
light for the world to see.

Refrain
Christ, be our light! Shine in our hearts.
Shine through the darkness.
Christ, be our light!
Shine in your church gathered today.

2. Longing for peace, our world is troubled.
Longing for hope, many despair.
Your word alone has pow’r to save us.
Make us your living voice.

3. Longing for food, many are hungry.
Longing for water, many still thirst.
Make us your bread, broken for others,
shared until all are fed.

4. Longing for shelter, many are homeless.
Longing for warmth, many are cold.
Make us your building, sheltering others,
walls made of living stone.

5. Many the gifts, many the people,
many the hearts that yearn to belong.
Let us be servants to one another,
making your kingdom come.

287 Thine be the glory

1. Thine be the glory, risen, conquering Son;
endless is the victory, thou o'er death hast won;
angels in bright raiment rolled the stone away,
kept the folded grave clothes where Thy body lay.

Refrain:
Thine be the glory, risen conquering Son,
Endless is the vict'ry, thou o'er death hast won.

2. Lo, Jesus meets us, risen from the tomb;
lovingly he greets us, scatters fear and gloom;
let the Church with gladness, hymns of triumph sing;
for her Lord is living, death has lost its sting. (Refrain)

3. No more we doubt thee, glorious Prince of life;
life is naught without thee; aid us in our strife;
make us more than conquerors, through Thy deathless love:
bring us safe through Jordan to Thy home above. (Refrain)

suffer to redeem our loss. Alleluia!

Hymns of praise then let us sing, Alleluia!
Unto Christ, our heavenly King, Alleluia!
Who endured the cross and grave, Alleluia!
Sinners to redeem and save. Alleluia!

But the pains which he endured, Alleluia!
Our salvation have procured; Alleluia!
Now above the sky he's King; Alleluia!
Where the angels ever sing; Alleluia!


Recessional 286 This Joyful Eastertide

1. This joyful Eastertide,
away with sin and sorrow!
My Love, the Crucified,
has sprung to life this morrow:

Refrain:
Had Christ, who once was slain,
not burst His three-day prison,
our faith had been in vain;
but now has Christ arisen, 
arisen, arisen; arisen!

2. My flesh in hope shall rest
and for a season slumber
till trump from east to west
shall wake the dead in number: 
[Refrain]

3. Death’s flood has lost its chill
since Jesus crossed the river;
Lover of souls, from ill
my passing soul deliver: 
[Refrain]
