Hymn for the Entrance Procession
Let Us Exalt His Name Together
Verse 1
At all times I will bless Him
His praise will be in my mouth
My soul makes its boast in the Lord
The humble man will hear Him
The afflicted will be glad
And join with me to magnify the LordChorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the LordVerse 2
The angel of the Lord encamps
'Round those who fear His name
To save them and deliver them from harm
Though lions roar with hunger
We lack of no good thing
No wonder then we praise Him with our songChorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the LordVerse 3
Come children now and hear me
If you would see long life
Just keep your lips from wickedness and lies
Do good and turn from evil
Seek peace instead of strife
Love righteousness and God will hear You cryFinal Chorus
Let us exalt His name together forever
I sought the Lord, He heard me
And delivered me from my fears
Let us exalt His name together forever
Oh, sing His praises magnify the Lord
Oh, sing His praises magnify the Lord

In thee is all my HopeVerse 1

Fear shall not triumphant be
For on the rock that breaks the waves

God will answer when I call
He never will my failings spurn
But all my ills to blessings turnRefrain

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.
