Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn “Battle Hymn of the Republic”
Mine eyes have seen the glory of the coming of the Lord
He is trampling out the vintage where the grapes of wrath are stored
He has loosed the fateful lightning of His terrible swift sword
His truth is marching on
Chorus:
Glory glory hallelujah glory glory hallelujah
Glory glory hallelujah His truth is marching on
I have seen Him in the watchfires of a hundred circling camps
They have builded Him an altar in the evening dews and damps
I can read His righteous sentence by the dim and flaring lamps
His day is marching on [Chorus]
He has sounded forth the trumpet that shall never call retreat
He is sifting out the hearts of men before His judgment seat
O be swift my soul to answer Him be jubilant my feet
Our God is marching on [Chorus]
In the beauty of the lilies Christ was born across the sea
With a glory in His bosom that transfigures you and me
As He died to make men holy let us live to make men free
While God is marching on [Chorus]

Closing Hymn “America the Beautiful”
O beautiful for spacious skies for amber waves of grain
For purple mountain majesties above the fruited plain
America America God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
O beautiful for pilgrim feet Whose stern impassioned stress
A thoroughfare for freedom beat across the wilderness
America America God mend thine ev'ry flaw
Confirm thy soul in self control Thy liberty in law
O beautiful for heroes proved in liberating strife
Who more than self their country loved and mercy more than life
America America may God thy gold refine
Till all success be nobleness and ev'ry gain divine
O beautiful for patriot dream That sees beyond the years
Thine alabaster cities gleam Undimmed by human tears
America America God shed His grace on thee
And crown thy good with brotherhood from sea to shining sea
