Call to worshipWe come from our separate homes

to meet you, our God. We come, eager and expectant

to meet you, our God.We come to receive countless blessingsfrom our meeting with you, our God.

I, The Lord of Sea and Sky,I have heard My people cry;

All who dwell in dark and sinMy hand will save...

I, who made the stars of night,I will make their darkness bright.

I will speak My word to them.Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord.Is it I, Lord?

I have heard You calling in the night.I will go, Lord,If You lead me;

I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of snow and rain,I have borne my people’s pain;I have wept for love of them –

They turn away…

I will break their hearts of stone,Give them hearts for love alone;

I will speak My word to them.Whom shall I send?

 

Here I am, Lord.Is it I, Lord?

I have heard You calling in the night.I will go, Lord,If You lead me;

I will hold Your people in my heart.

I, the Lord of wind and flame,I will tend the poor and lame,

I will set a feast for them –My hand will save…

Finest bread I will provideTill their hearts are satisfied;

I will give My life to them.Whom shall I send?

Here I am, Lord.Is it I, Lord?

I have heard You calling in the night.I will go, Lord,If You lead me;

I will hold Your people in my heart.

Almighty God, to whom all hearts are open,

all desires known and from whom no secrets are hidden,

cleanse the thoughts of our hearts by the inspiration of Your Holy Spirit,

that we may perfectly love You and worthily magnify Your holy name,

through Christ our Lord. Amen.

Love Divine, all loves excelling,Joy of heaven to earth come down!

Fix in us Thy humble dwelling,All Thy faithful mercies crown.

Jesus, Thou art all compassion,Pure unbounded love Thou art;

Visit us with Thy salvation,Enter every trembling heart.

Breathe, O breathe Thy loving SpiritInto every troubled breast!Let us all in Thee inherit,

Let us find Thy promised rest.Take away the love of sinning;

Alpha and Omega be;End of faith, as its beginning,

Set our hearts at liberty.

Come, Almighty to deliver,Let us all Thy grace receive;Suddenly return, and never,

Never more Thy temples leave.Thee we would be always blessing,

Serve Thee as Thy hosts above,Pray, and praise Thee without ceasing,

Glory in Thy perfect love.

Finish then Thy new creation,Pure and spotless let us be;

Let us see Thy great salvationPerfectly restored in Thee!

Changed from glory into glory,Till in heaven we take our place;

Till we cast our crowns before Thee,Lost in wonder, love and praise.

Elijah left his cloak for Elisha, Elijah’s work was nearly done.

Breathe on me, Breath of God, fill me with life anew,

that I may love what Thou dost love, and do what Thou wouldst do.

Breathe on me, Breath of God, until my heart is pure,

until with Thee I will one will, to do and to endure.

Breathe on me, Breath of God, till I am wholly Thine,

till all this earthly part of me glows with Thy fire divine.

Breathe on me, Breath of God, so shall I never die,

but live with Thee the perfect life of Thine eternity.

Most merciful Lord, Your love compels us to come in.

Our hands were unclean, our hearts were unprepared; we were not fit even to eat the

crumbs from under Your table.But You, Lord, are the God of our salvation,

and share your bread with sinners.

So cleanse us and feed us with the precious body and blood of Your Son, that He may live in us and we in Him;

and that we, with the whole company of Christ, may sit and eat in Your

Kingdom. Amen.

The Lord is hereHis Spirit is with us

Lift up your heartsWe lift them to the Lord

Let us give thanks to the Lord our GodIt is right to give thanks and praise

It is right to praise You, Father, Lord of all creation;

In Your love you made us for Yourself.When we turned away, You did not reject us,

But came to meet us in Your Son.

You embraced us as Your children and welcomed us to sit and eat with You.

In Christ you shared Your lifeThat we might live in Him and He in us.

He opened His arms of love upon the cross and made for all the perfect

sacrifice for sin. 

On the night He was betrayed, at supper with His friends,

He took bread and gave you thanks; He broke it and gave it to them, saying:

Take, eat, this is my body which is given for you, do this in remembrance of me

Father, we do this in remembrance of Him:His body is the bread of life

At the end of supper, taking the cup of wine, He gave you thanks and said:

Drink this, all of you; this is my blood of the new covenant, which is shed for you for

the forgiveness of sins; do this in remembrance of me.

Father we do this in remembrance of HimHis blood is shed for all

As we proclaim His death and celebrate his rising in glory, send Your Holy Spirit that

this bread and this wine may be to us the body and blood of Your dear Son

As we eat and drink these holy giftsMake us one in Christ, our risen Lord

With your whole Church throughout the world we offer you this sacrifice of praise and lift

our voice to join the eternal song of heaven

Holy, holy, holy LordGod of power and might

Heaven and earth are full of your gloryHosanna in the highest

Our Father in heavenhallowed be Your name.

Your kingdom come, Your will be done

on earth as in heaven.Give us today our daily bread.

Forgive us our sinsas we forgive those who sin against us.

Lead us not into temptationbut deliver us from evil.

For the kingdom, the power and the glory are yours now and for ever. Amen.

We break this bread to share in the body of Christ

Though we are many, we are one body because we all share in one bread.

Draw near with faithReceive the body of our Lord Jesus Christ

which He gave for you, and His blood which He shed for you.

Eat and drink in remembrance that He died for you and feed on Him in your hearts

by faith with thanksgiving.

Father of allWe give you thanks and praise that when

we were still far off You met us in your Son and brought us home.

Dying and living He declared your loveand opened the gate of glory.

May we who share Christ’s body live His risen life, we who drink his cup bring life to others, we whom the Spirit

lights bring light to the world.

Keep us firm in the hope You have set before us so we and all Your children

shall be free and the whole earth live to praise Your name;

Through Jesus Christ our Lord. Amen.

Father God, I wonder how I managed to exist without the

knowledge of your parenthoodand your loving care.

But now I am your child, I am adopted in your family,

and I can never be alone cause,Father God, you’re there beside me.

I will sing your praises,I will sing your praises,I will sing your praises

for evermore.

I will sing your praises,I will sing your praises,I will sing your praises

for evermore.
