Opening Hymn
“Now Thank We All Our God”
Now thank we all our God with heart and hands and voices
Who wondrous things hath done in whom this world rejoices
Who from our mothers' arms hath blessed us on our way
With countless gifts of love and still is ours today
O may this bounteous God through all our life be near us
With ever joyful hearts and blessed peace to cheer us
To keep us in his grace and guide us when perplexed
And free us from all ills of this world in the next
All praise and thanks to God the Father now be given
The Son and Him who reigns with them in highest heaven
The one eternal God whom heaven and earth adore
For thus it was is now and shall be evermore

Sermon Losing to LoveClosing Hymn
“Love Divine All Loves Excelling”
Love divine, all loves excelling, joy of heav’n, to earth come down,
Fix in us thy humble dwelling, all thy faithful mercies crown.
Jesus, thou art all compassion, pure, unbounded love thou art.
Visit us with thy salvation; enter every trembling heart.
Come, Almighty, to deliver, let us all thy life receive.
Suddenly return, and never, nevermore thy temples leave.
Thee we would be always blessing, serve thee as thy hosts above,
pray, and praise thee without ceasing, glory in thy perfect love.
Finish, then, thy new creation; true and spotless let us be.
Let us see thy great salvation perfectly restored in thee.
Changed from glory into glory, till in heav’n we take our place,
Till we cast our crowns before thee, lost in wonder, love and praise.
