Third Sunday of Lent March 7, 2021
Entrance:
1. What wondrous love is this, O my soul,
O my soul!
What wondrous love is this, O my soul!
What wondrous love is this
that caused the Lord of bliss
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul, for my soul;
To bear the dreadful curse for my soul!
2. To God and to the Lamb I will sing, I
will sing;
To God and to the Lamb I will sing.
To God and to the Lamb,
who is the great I AM,
While millions join the theme, I will sing, I will sing;
While millions join the theme, I will sing.

Presentation: (9:00 and
12:00)
1. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast."
I came to Jesus as I was,
So weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.
2. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live."
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that lifegiving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
3. I heard the voice of Jesus say,
"I am this dark world's light;
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
And all your day be bright."
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk
Till trav'ling days are done.
Text: Horatius Bonar,
1808-1889

Communion:
Shepherd me, O God,
beyond my wants, beyond my fears, from death into life.
1. God is my shepherd, so nothing shall I
want,
I rest in the meadows of faithfulness and love,
I walk by the quiet waters of peace.
2. Gently you raise me and heal my weary
soul,
you lead me by pathways of righteousness and truth,
my spirit shall sing the music of your name.
3. Though I should wander the valley of
death,
I fear no evil, for you are at my side,
your rod and your staff, my comfort and my hope.
4. You have set me a banquet of love in
the face of hatred,
crowning me with love beyond my pow'r to hold.
5. Surely your kindness and mercy follow
me all the days of my life;
I will dwell in the house of my God for evermore.
