Preparation for Worship
Time for Gathering
Opening Hymn “Lead On O King Eternal”
Lead on O King Eternal the day of march has come
Henceforth in fields of conquest thy tents shall be our home
Thro' days of preparation thy grace has made us strong
And now O King eternal we lift our battle song
Lead on O King Eternal till sin's fierce war shall cease
And holiness shall whisper the sweet Amen of peace
For not with swords loud clashing nor roll of stirring drums
With deeds of love and mercy the heav'nly kingdom comes
Lead on O King Eternal we follow not with fears
For gladness breaks like morning where'er Thy face appears
Thy cross is lifted o'er us we journey in its light
The crown awaits the conquest lead on O God of might

Closing Hymn “In the Garden”
I come to the garden alone while the dew is still on the roses
And the voice I hear falling on my ear the Son of God discloses
Chorus
And He walks with me and He talks with me
And He tells me I am His own and the joy we share as we tarry there
None other has ever known
He speaks and the sound of His voice is so sweet the birds hush their singing
And the melody that He gave to me within my heart is ringing [Chorus]
I'd stay in the garden with Him tho' the night around me be falling
But He bids me go thro' the voice of woe his voice to me is calling [Chorus]
