O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son, And give Him the glory, great things He has done

To God be the glory, great things He has done;So loved He the world that He gave us His Son,

Who yielded His life an atonement for sin,And opened the life gate that all may go in.

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,Let the earth hear His voice!

Praise the Lord, praise the Lord,Let the people rejoice!

O come to the Father, through Jesus the Son,And give Him the glory, great things He has

done.

O perfect redemption, the purchase of blood,To every believer the promise of God;The vilest offender who truly believes,

That moment from Jesus a pardon receives.




done.

Great things He has taught us, great things He has done,

And great our rejoicing through Jesus the Son;But purer, and higher, and greater will be

Our wonder, our transport, when Jesus we see.

Bell Church thanks Dan Worley and Carl Black for work done on our outside lighting and other inside tasks.

We are not alone, we live in God's world.We believe in God:who has created and is creating,who has come in Jesus, the Word made flesh,to reconcile and make new,who works in us and others by the Spirit.

We trust in God.We are called to be the church:to celebrate God's presence,to love and serve others,to seek justice and resist evil,to proclaim Jesus, crucified and risen,our judge and our hope.

In life, in death, in life beyond death,God is with us.We are not alone.Thanks be to God. Amen.

Hosanna, loud hosanna, the little children sang,

through pillared court and temple the lovely anthem rang.

To Jesus, who had blessed them close folded to his breast,

the children sang their praises, the simplest and the best.

From Olivet they followed mid an exultant crowd,

the victor palm branch waving, and chanting clear and loud.

The Lord of earth and heaven rode on in lowly state,

nor scorned that little children should on his bidding wait.

"Hosanna in the highest!" that ancient song we sing, for Christ is our Redeemer,

the Lord of heaven our King.

O may we ever praise him with heart and life and voice,

and in his blissful presence eternally rejoice!

Fanny Crosby

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying, snatch them in pity from sin and the grave; weep o'er the erring one, lift up the fallen,

tell them of Jesus, the mighty to save.

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

Rescue the perishing, duty demands it;strength for thy labor the Lord will provide;

back to the narrow way patiently win them; tell the poor wanderer a Savior has

died.

Rescue the perishing, care for the dying; Jesus is merciful, Jesus will save.

Fanny Crosby

Thou my everlasting portion, more than friend or life to me, all along my pilgrim journey,

Savior, let me walk with thee.

Close to thee, close to thee, close to thee, close to thee, all along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with thee.

Lead me through the vale of shadows,

bear me o'er life's fitful sea;then the gate of life eternalmay I enter, Lord, with thee.

Close to thee, close to thee, close to thee, close to thee, all along my pilgrim journey, Savior, let me walk with thee.

Fanny Crosby

Pass me not, O gentle Savior, hear my humble cry;

while on others thou art calling, do not pass me by.

Savior, Savior,Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,Do not pass me by.

Thou the spring of all my comfort, more than life to me, whom have I

on earth beside thee? Whom in heaven but thee?

Savior, Savior,Hear my humble cry;

While on others Thou art calling,Do not pass me by.

Praise God, from whom all blessings flow; Praise him, all creatures here below; Praise him above, ye heavenly host; Praise Father, Son, and Holy Ghost. Amen.

Jesus’ Triumphal Entry into Jerusalem11 When they were approaching Jerusalem, at Bethphage and Bethany, near the Mount of Olives, he sent two of his disciples 2 and said to them, “Go into the village ahead of you, and immediately as you enter it, you will find tied there a colt that has never been ridden; untie it and bring it.

3 If anyone says to you, ‘Why are you doing this?’ just say this, ‘The Lord needs it and will send it back here immediately.’” 4 They went away and found a colt tied near a door, outside in the street. As they were untying it, 5 some of the bystanders said to them, “What are you doing, untying the colt?” 6 They told them what Jesus had said; and they allowed them to take it.

7 Then they brought the colt to Jesus and threw their cloaks on it; and he sat on it. 8 Many people spread their cloaks on the road, and others spread leafy branches that they had cut in the fields. 9 Then those who went ahead and those who followed were shouting,

“Hosanna!Blessed is the one who comes in the name of the Lord!10 Blessed is the coming kingdom of our ancestor David!Hosanna in the highest heaven!”

11 Then he entered Jerusalem and went into the temple; and when he had looked around at everything, as it was already late, he went out to Bethany with the twelve.

“The Way: Hosanna!”

Jesus, keep me near the cross,There a precious fountain

Free to all, a healing streamFlows from Calvary’s mountain.

In the cross, in the cross,Be my glory ever;

Till my raptured soul shall findRest beyond the river.

Near the cross, a trembling soul,Love and mercy found me;

There the bright and morning starSheds its beams around me.



Near the cross! O Lamb of God,Bring its scenes before me;

Help me walk from day to day,With its shadows o’er me.



Near the cross I’ll watch and waitHoping, trusting ever,

Till I reach the golden strand,Just beyond the river.
