HOLY COMMUNION SUNDAY
GATHERING MUSIC
One O God, You are my God, earnestly I seek you; my soul thirsts for You,
Many MY BODY LONGS FOR YOU, AS IN A DRY AND WEARY LAND
WHERE THERE IS NO WATER.
One I have seen You in the sanctuary, and I have beheld your power and
your glory.
Many BECAUSE YOUR LOVE IS BETTER THAN LIFE, MY VOICE WILL
GLORIFY YOU.
One I will praise You as long as I live,
Many AND IN YOUR NAME I WILL LIFT UP MY HANDS.
One My soul will be satisfied as with the richest of foods;
Many WITH SINGING LIPS, MY MOUTH WILL PRAISE YOU.
One On my bed I will remember You;
Many I THINK OF YOU THROUGH THE WATCHES OF THE NIGHT.
One Because You are my help, I sing in the shadow of your wings.
Many MY SOUL CLINGS TO YOU; YOUR RIGHT HAND HOLDS ME UP.
AMEN.

Our Father, who art in heaven, Hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread, and forgive us our trespasses,
As we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil;
For thine is the Kingdom, and the power, and the glory, forever, Amen.
