Hymn for the Entrance Procession
To God Be The Glory
Verse 1
To God be the glory,
great things he hath done,
so loved He the world
that He gave us His SonWho yielded his life
an atonement for sin,
and opened the life-gate
that all may go in.Chorus
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the earth hear His voice.Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the people rejoiceO come to the Father
through Jesus the Son;
and give Him the glory
great things He hath doneVerse 2
O Perfect redemption,
the purchase of blood,
to every believer
the promise of God;The vilest offender
who truly believes,
that moment from Jesus
a pardon receives.Chorus
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the earth hear His voice.Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the people rejoiceO come to the Father
through Jesus the Son;
and give Him the glory
great things He hath doneVerse 3
Great things He hath taught us
Great things He hath done
great our rejoicing
through Jesus the sonBut purer and higher
and greater will be
Our wonder, our transport
when Jesus we see.Chorus
Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the earth hear His voice.Praise the Lord
Praise the Lord
let the people rejoiceO come to the Father
through Jesus the Son;
and give Him the glory
great things He hath done

Offertory Hymn
Of My Hands
Of my hands I give to you, O Lord,
Of my hands I give to you.
I give to you what you gave to me,
Of my hands I give to you.1 You led us out of darkness
When we knew not where to go.
You asked us then to follow you
And we said "No".2 You suffered for the sake of men
That we might live with you.
Oh may we show our gratefulness
In what we say and do.

You Are Near
Refrain
O Lord, I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the foe

Lord, you have searched my heart
And you know when I sit and when I stand
Your hand is upon me,
protecting me from death,
Keeping me from harm.Refrain
O Lord, I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the foe
And you lead me in ways everlastingVerse 2
Where can I run from your love?
If I climb to the heavens you are there
If I fly to the sunrise
or sail beyond the sea,
Still I'd find you there.Refrain
O Lord, I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the foe
And you lead me in ways everlastingVerse 3
You know my heart and its ways
you who formed me before I was born
In secret of darkness
before I saw the sun,
In my mother's womb.Refrain
O Lord, I know you are near
Standing always at my side

And you lead me in ways everlastingVerse 4
Marvellous to me are your works;
How profound are your thoughts, my Lord.
Even if I could count them,
They number as the stars,
You would still be there.Refrain
O Lord, I know you are near
Standing always at my side
You guard me from the foe
And you lead me in ways everlasting
