HOLY COMMUNION SUNDAY
GATHERING MUSIC
One Oh, that my words could be recorded,
Many THAT THEY WERE WRITTEN ON A SCROLL,
One That they were inscribed with an iron scriber on lead,
Many OR ENGRAVED IN ROCK FOREVER!
One For I know that my Redeemer lives,
Many AND THAT IN THE END HE WILL STAND UPON THE EARTH.
One And even though by body has been destroyed,
Many YET IN MY FLESH, I WILL SEE GOD;
One I myself will see him with my own eyes—
Many I MYSELF, AND NOT ANOTHER.
One How my heart years within me!
Many HOW MY HEART YEARNS WITHIN ME! AMEN.

THE LORD’S PRAYER Everyone
Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
