Entrance Hymn: 

1.         I know that my Redeemer lives; 

            What joy the blest assurance gives! 

            He lives, he lives, who once was dead; 

            He lives, my everlasting Head! 

 

2.         He lives to bless me with his love; 

            He lives to plead for me above; 

            He lives my hungry soul to feed; 

            He lives to help in time of need.

Text: Samuel Medley, 1738-1799

 

(Presentation: Christ has no body now but yours)

Christ has no body now but yours, no hands but yours.

Here on this earth yours is the work, 

to serve with the joy of compassion.

Verses: 

1.         No hands but yours to heal the wounded world, 

            no hands but yours to sooth all its suff’ring, 

            no touch but yours to bind the broken hope of the people of God.

 

2.         No eyes but yours to see as Christ would see, 

            to find the lost, to gaze with compassion; 

            no eyes but yours to glimpse the holy joy of the city of God.

Text: St Teresa of Avila; 1515-1582, adapt. By Steven C. Warner, b. 1954

Communion:

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.

 

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.

Recessional:

1.         "Go make of all disciples."

            We hear the call, O Lord,

            That comes from you, our Father,

            In your eternal Word.

            Inspire our ways of learning

            Through earnest, fervent prayer,

            And let our daily living

            Reveal you ev'rywhere.

 

2.         "Go make of all disciples."

            We welcome your command.

            "Lo, I am with you always."

            We take your guiding hand.

            The task looms large before us--

            We follow without fear.

            In heav'n and earth your power

            Shall bring God's kingdom here.
