Offertory    608 Take my hands

Take my hands and make them as your own,
And use them for your kingdom here on earth,
Consecrate them to your care,
Anoint them for your service where,
You may need your Gospel to be sown.

Take my hands they speak now for my heart,
And by their actions they will show their love,
Guard them on their daily course,
Be their strength and guiding force,
To ever serve the Trinity above.

Take my hands I give them to you Lord,
Prepare them for the service of your name,
Open them to human need,
And by their love they'll sow your seed,
So all may know the love and hope you give,

Take my hands, take my hands O Lord.

Holy, Holy 578 German Mass (Schubert)

Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God of hosts
Holy, Holy, Holy
Lord God of hosts

Heaven and earth are full
Full of your glory
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in the highest
.
Blessed is he who comes
in the name of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in the highest.

Communion
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.


193 Return to God

Refrain:
Return to God with all your heart,
the source of grace and mercy;
come seek the tender faithfulness of God (repeat)

1. Now the time of grace has come,
the day of salvation;
come and learn now
the way of our God

2. I will take your heart of stone
and place a heart within you,
A heart of compassion and love

3. If you break the chains of oppression,
if you set the pris'ner free;
if you share your bread with the hungry,
give protection to the lost;

give a shelter to the homeless,
clothe the naked in your midst,
then your light shall break forth
like the dawn


Final    854 Bring Forth the Kingdom of God

You are salt for the earth, O people:
Salt for the Kingdom of God!
Share the flavor of life, O people:
Life in the Kingdom of God!

Refrain
Bring forth the kingdom of mercy,
Bring forth the kingdom of peace;
Bring forth the kingdom of justice,
Bring forth the City of God!

You are a light on the hill, O people:
light for the City of God!
Shine so holy and bright, O people:
shine for the Kingdom of God! (Refrain)

You are a seed of the Word, O people:
bring forth the kingdom of God!
Seeds of mercy and seeds of justice,
Grow in the Kingdom of God! (Refrain)

We are a blest and a pilgrim people:
Bound for the kingdom of God!
Love our journey and love our homeland:
Love is the Kingdom of God! (Refrain)
