ALL CREATURES OF OUR GOD AND KING (Sunday 9am)
All creatures of our God and King,
lift up your voice and with us sing; alleluia, alleluia!
O burning sun with golden beam, and silver moon with softer gleam:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Swift rushing wind, you are so strong,
white clouds that glide in heaven along, O praise Him, alleluia!
O rising dawn, in praise rejoice, and lights of evening, find your voice:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Pure flowing water, cold and clear,
make music for your Lord to hear: alleluia, alleluia!
and fire so masterful and bright, you give us both your warmth and light:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.
Let all things their Creator bless, and worship Him in humbleness;
O praise Him, alleluia!
Praise, praise the Father, praise the Son,
And praise the Spirit, Three in One:
O praise Him, O praise Him, alleluia, alleluia, alleluia.

SEEK YE FIRST (Sunday 9am)
Seek ye first the Kingdom of God
and His righteousness,
and all these things shall be added unto you
Allelu Alleluia
Ask and it shall be given unto you;
seek and ye shall find;
knock and the door shall be opened unto you
Allelu Alleluia
Where two or three are gathered in my name,
there am I in their midst;
and whatsoever ye ask, I will do.
Allelu, Alleluia.
Man shall not live by bread alone,
but by every word
that proceeds from the mouth of God.
Allelu, Alleluia.

IN CHRIST ALONE (Sunday 9am)
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.
‘til 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 power 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!

MAKE ME A CHANNEL OF YOUR PEACE (Sunday 9am)
Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there is hatred, let me bring Your love;
where there is injury, Your pardon Lord
and where there’s doubt, true faith in You.
Make me a channel of Your peace.
Where there’s despair in life, let me bring hope;
where there is darkness, only light,
and where there’s sadness, ever joy.
Oh, Master, grant that I may never seek
so much to be consoled as to console,
to be understood as to understand,
to be loved, as to love with all my soul.
Make me a channel of Your peace.
It is in pardoning that we are pardoned,
in giving unto all that we receive,
and in dying that we’re born to eternal life.

NOW THANK WE ALL OUR GOD (Sunday 9am)
Now thank we all our God, with heart and mind and voices,
who wondrous things hath done, in whom this world rejoices;
who from our mother’s arms hath blessed us on our way
with countless gifts of love, and still is ours today.
Oh, may this bounteous God through all our life be near us,
with ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us;
and keep us in His grace, and guide us when perplexed,
and free us from all ills in this world and the next.
All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given;
the Son, and Him who reigns with them in highest heaven;
eternal Three in One whom earth and heav’n adore;
for thus it was, is now, and shall be evermore.
