In flesh He came to die in pain
On Calvary's tree.

Yet gave His life a ransom
Thus setting us free.

From death He rose, and all His foes
Shall own His Name.
Jesus is Lord! God sent His Holy Spirit
To show by works of power
That Jesus is Lord.

Alleluia: CTS Psalmody
(I'll try to make a video)

Offertory: 257 This is the day (Psalm 117 (118) 

Refrain: (first time Cantor)
This is the day the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad.
This is the day that the Lord has made;
let us rejoice and be glad.

Give thanks to God for he is good,
His mercy endures forever:
let the house of Israel say:
"His mercy endures forever." (refrain)

The Lord's right hand has struck with pow'r,
The Lord's right hand is exalted;

has become the cornerstone.
By the Lord has this been done;
it is wonderful in our eyes! (refrain)

Lamb of God: 590 Storrington Mass
(NOTE; Add-on Chord of F Major at the end of piece for our sanity - apologies to composer Marty Haugen!)

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.
