Gathering hymn: #846 Amazing Grace
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZoJz2SANTyo

Amazing Grace, how sweet the sound,
That saved a wretch like me.
I once was lost but now am found,
Was blind, but now I see.

T'was Grace that taught my heart to fear.
And Grace, my fears relieved.
How precious did that Grace appear
The hour I first believed.

Through many dangers, toils and snares
I have already come;
'Tis Grace that brought me safe thus far
and Grace will lead me home.

The Lord has promised good to me.
His word my hope secures.
He will my shield and portion be,
As long as life endures.


Entrance hymn: #865 Here I am, Lord 
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=GINNh15cT08

I, the Lord of sea and sky,
I have heard my people cry.
All who dwell in dark and sin,
My hand will save.
I who made the stars of night,
I will make their darkness bright.
Who will bear My light to them?
Whom shall I send?

Refrain:
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 born 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? (Refrain)

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 provide,
Till their hearts be satisfied.
I will give My life to them,
Whom shall I send? (Refrain)

Psalm: #806 (Psalm 23) The Lord's my Shepherd 

https://youtu.be/-Msh0PAJfPU

The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want.
He makes me down to lie
in pastures green. He leadeth me
the quiet waters by.

My soul He doth restore again,
and me to walk doth make
within the paths of righteousness,
even for His own name’s sake.

Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale,
yet will I fear none ill.
For Thou art with me, and Thy rod
and staff me comfort still.

My table Thou hast furnishèd
in presence of my foes,
my head Thou dost with oil anoint,
and my cup overflows.

Goodness and mercy all my life
shall surely follow me.
And in God’s house for evermore
my dwelling-place shall be.

Gospel Acclamation: #261 Alleluia for Easter
Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

Offertory: #631 Bread of Life
https://youtu.be/AegmWgIVHTU

Refrain:
Bread of Life, Truth Eternal,
Broken now to set us free,
The risen Christ, his saving power,
is here in bread and wine for me.

Lord, I know I am not worthy to receive you.
You speak the words, and I am healed.
Here at your table, love’s mystery,
One bread, one cup, one family, (Refrain)

Lord, by your cross you reconciled us to the Father.
We have only to believe.
Your sacrifice, our victory
Now by your blood we are redeemed. (Refrain)

Lord, you gave your people Manna in the desert.
Still, you fulfil our every need.
Lord, when we hunger, Lord, when we thirst,
We come to you, and we receive. (Refrain)


Holy Holy: #490 Mass of Creation

Holy, Holy, Holy Lord God of hosts.
Heaven and earth are full of your glory.
Hosanna in the highest.
Blessed is he who comes in the name
of the Lord.
Hosanna in the highest.
Hosanna in the highest.


Memorial Acc. 1: #491 Mass of Creation 

We proclaim your Death, O Lord,
and profess your Resurrection
until you come again, until you come again.

Lamb of God:  Plainchant

Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world
Have mercy on us (repeat)
Lamb of God you take away the sins of the world
Grant us peace.

Communion:  #629 I am the Bread of Life

I am the bread of life.
You who come to Me shall not hunger;
and who believe in Me shall not thirst
No one can come to Me
Unless the Father draw him

Refrain:
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up
And I will raise you up on the last day

The bread that I will give
is My flesh for the life of the world
and if you eat of this bread
you shall live for ever
you shall live for ever (refrain)

Unless you eat
Of the flesh of the Son of Man
And drink of His blood
And drink of His blood
You shall not have life within you                  
(refrain)

I am the resurrection
I am the life
If you believe in Me
Even though you die,
You shall live for ever (refrain)

Yes, Lord, I believe
That You are the Christ
The Son of God
Who has come 
Into the world (refrain)

1. All to Jesus I surrender
All to Him I freely give;
I will ever love and trust Him,
In his presence daily live.

Refrain:
I surrender all,
I surrender all,
All to thee, my blessed Saviour,
I surrender all.

2. All to Jesus I surrender;
Make me, Saviour, wholly Thine;
Let me feel the Holy Spirit,
Truly know that Thou art mine.

3.  All to Jesus I surrender;
Lord, I give myself to Thee;
Fill me with Thy love and power;
Let Thy blessing fall on me.

Blessing and Commendation:  #907 Abide with Me
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MmtRlEIIZnQ

Abide with me, fast falls the eventide
The darkness deepens Lord, with me abide
When other helpers fail, and comforts flee
Help of the helpless, oh, abide with me

Swift to its close ebbs out life's little day
Earth's joys grow dim, its glories pass away
Change and decay in all around I see
O Thou who changest not, abide with me

I fear no foe, with Thee at hand to bless
Ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness
Where is death's sting?
Where, grave, thy victory?
I triumph still if Thou abide with me

Hold Thou Thy cross before my closing eyes
Shine through the gloom and point me to the skies
Heaven's morning breaks, and earth's vain shadows flee
In life, in death, o Lord, abide with me


Refrain
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home,
Swing low, sweet chariot,
Coming for to carry me home.

I looked over Jordan, and what did I see
Coming for to carry me home?
A band of angels coming after me,
Coming for to carry me home.

If you get there before I do,
(Coming for to carry me home)
Tell all my friends I'm coming too.
(Coming for to carry me home)

I'm sometimes up, and I'm sometimes down,
(Coming for to carry me home)
But still my soul feels heavenly bound.
(Coming for to carry me home)
