Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn “Joyful Joyful We Adore Thee”
Joyful joyful we adore Thee God of glory Lord of love
Hearts unfold like flow’rs before Thee opening to the sun above
Melt the clouds of sin and sadness drive the dark of doubt away
Giver of immortal gladness fill us with the light of day
All Thy works with joy surround Thee earth and heav’n reflect Thy rays
Stars and angels sing around Thee center of unbroken praise
Field and forest vale and mountain flowery meadow flashing sea
Chanting bird and flowing fountain call us to rejoice in Thee
Thou art giving and forgiving ever blessing ever blest
Wellspring of the joy of living ocean depth of happy rest
Thou our Father Christ our Brother all who live in love are Thine
Teach us how to love each other lift us to the joy divine
Mortals join the mighty chorus which the morning stars began
Father love is reigning o'er us brother love binds man to man
Ever singing march we onward victors in the midst of strife
Joyful music lifts us sunward in the triumph song of life
Amen!

Closing Hymn “You Are My King (Amazing Love)”
I’m forgiven because You were forsaken and I’m accepted You were condemned
And I’m alive and well Your Spirit is within me because You died and rose again
Amazing love how it can be that You my Lord would die for me
Amazing love I know it’s true it’s my joy to honor You
In all I do I honor You
You are my King you are my King
Jesus You are my King Jesus You are my King
Amazing love how it can be that You my Lord would die for me
Amazing love I know it’s true it’s my joy to honor You
In all I do I honor You
In all I do I honor You
