Hymn for Communion Procession
Fill My Cup, Lord
Like the woman at the well I was seeking
For things that could not satisfy:
And then I heard my Savior speaking:
” Draw from my well that never shall run dry”.Refrain
Fill my cup Lord, I lift it up, Lord!
Come and quench this thirsting of my soul;
Bread of heaven, Feed me till I want no more–
Fill my cup, fill it up and make me whole!2
There are millions in this world who are craving
The pleasures earthly things afford;
But none can match the wondrous treasure
That I find in Jesus Christ my Lord.3
So, my brother, if the things this world gave you
Leave hungers that won’t pass away,
My blessed Lord will come and save you,
If you kneel to Him and humbly pray:
Recessional Hymn
Old Rugged Cross
Verse 1
On a hill far away,
stood an old rugged cross,
the emblem of suffering and shameAnd I love that old cross
where the dearest and best,
for a world of lost sinners was slain.Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
till my trophies at last I lay down:
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.Verse 2
O that old rugged cross,
so despised by the world,
has a wondrous attraction for me;for the dear Lamb of God
left his glory above
to bear it to dark Calvary.Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
till my trophies at last I lay down:
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.Verse 3
In that old rugged cross,
stained with blood so divine,
a wondrous beauty I see,for 'twas on that old cross
Jesus suffered and died,
to pardon and sanctify me.Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
till my trophies at last I lay down:
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.Verse 4
To that old rugged cross
I will ever be true,
its shame and reproach gladly bear;then he'll call me some day
to my home far away,
where his glory forever I'll share.Chorus
So I'll cherish the old rugged cross
till my trophies at last I lay down:
I will cling to the old rugged cross,
and exchange it some day for a crown.
