SING TO THE MOUNTAINS (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
Refrain
Sing to the mountains, sing to the sea.
Raise your voices, lift your hearts.
This is the day the Lord has made.
Let all the earth rejoice.

I will give thanks to You, my Lord.
You have answered my plea.
You have saved my soul from death.
You are my strength and my song.   Refrain

Holy, Holy, Holy, Lord.
Heaven and earth are full of Your glory.   Refrain

This is the day that the Lord has made.
Let us be glad and rejoice.

Offertory Hymn

THE LORD IS MY SHEPHERD (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
The Lord is my shepherd and I want to follow,
wherever He leads me, wherever He goes.
Over the mountains, the waters and byways,
valleys and highways, He’s waiting for me.

Refrain                
I want to go to meet him there,
to lay myself down in His love.
The Lord is my shepherd
and I want to follow,
wherever He leads me
wherever He goes.

And while on that journey to where we are going,
he promised to be there to help us along.
And over the mountains, we’ll walk on together,
to know all the wonders, He’s given to me.   Refrain

Communion Hymn

IN CHRIST ALONE (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
In Christ alone, my hope is found;
He is my light, my strength, my song;
this cornerstone, this solid ground,
firm through the fiercest drought and storm.
What heights of love, what depths of peace,
when fears are stilled, when strivings cease!
My comforter, my all in all
here in the love of Christ I stand.

In Christ alone, who took on flesh,
fullness of God in helpless babe!
This gift of love and righteousness,
scorned by the ones He came to save.
Till on that cross as Jesus died,
the wrath of God was satisfied;
for every sin on Him was laid
here in the death of Christ I live.

There in the ground His body lay,
light of the world by darkness slain;
then bursting forth in glorious day,
up from the grave He rose again!
And as He stands in victory,
sin's curse has lost its grip on me;
for I am His and He is mine
bought with the precious blood of Christ.

No guilt in life, no fear in death,
this is the power of Christ in me;
from life's first cry to final breath,
Jesus commands my destiny.
No pow’r of hell, no scheme of man,
can ever pluck me from His hand;
‘til He returns or calls me home,
here in the power of Christ I'll stand!

BEFORE THE THRONE OF GOD ABOVE
Before the throne of God above
I have a strong, a perfect plea:
a great High Priest, whose name is Love,
whoever lives and pleads for me.
My name is graven on His hands;
my name is written on His heart;
I know that while in heav’n He stands
no tongue can bid me thence depart
no tongue can bid me thence depart.

When Satan tempts me to despair,
and tells me of the guilt within,
upward I look, and see Him there,
who made an end of all my sin.
Because a sinless Saviour died,
my sinful soul is counted free;
for God, the Just, is satisfied
to look on Him and pardon me
to look on Him and pardon me.

Recessional Hymn

HOW GREAT THOU ART (Sunday 9am & 5pm)
O Lord my God,
when I in awesome wonder
consider all the works Thy hands have made,
I see the stars,
I hear the mighty thunder,
Thy power throughout the universe displayed.

Refrain
Then sings my soul, my Saviour God to Thee:
‍How great Thou art! How great Thou art!
‍When through the woods
and forest glades I wander
and hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees;
when I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
and hear the brook
and feel the gentle breeze.    Refrain

And when I think:
that God His Son not sparing,
sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in,
that on the Cross,
my burden gladly bearing,
He bled and died, to take away my sin.   Refrain

When Christ shall come
with shouts of acclamation,
and take me home, what joy shall fill my heart;
Then shall I bow in humble adoration,
and there proclaim:
“My God, how great Thou art.’    Refrain
