Amazing Grace
1. Amazing grace how sweet the sound
That saved a wretched like me.
I once was lost but now am found
Was blind but now I see.
2. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear
And grace my fears relieved.
How precious did that grace appear
The hour I first believed.
3. Through many dangers, toils, and snares,
I have already come.
‘Tis grace that brought me safe thus far,
And grace will lead me home.
4. When we’ve been there ten thousand years,
Bright shining as the sun.
We’ve no less days to sng God’s praise,
Than when we first began
Hymn 345
1. The king of love my shepherd is,
Whose goodness faileth never;
I nothing lack if I am His,
And He is mine forever.
2. Where streams of living water flow,
My ransomed soul He leadeth,
And where the verdant pastures grow
With food celestial feedeth.
3. Perverse and foolish oft I strayed
But yet in love He sought me,
And on His shoulder gently laid
And home rejoicing brought me.
9
 4. In death’s dark vale I fear no ill
With thee, dear Lord, beside me
Thy rod and staff my comfort still
Thy cross before to guide me.
5. Thou sread’st a table in my sight;
Thy unction grace bestoweth;
And O what transport of delight
From thy pure chalice floweth!
6. And so through all the length of days
Thy goodness faileth never;
Good shepherd may I sing thy praise
Within thy house forever. Amen.
Because He Lives
1. God sent His Son, they called Him Jesus,
He came to love, heal and forgive;
He lived and died to buy my pardon,
An empty grave is there to prove,
My savior lives.
Chorus: Because He lives, I can face tomorrow
Because He lives, all fear is gone
Because I know, He holds the future,
And life is worth the living,
Just because He lives.
2. How sweet to hold a newborn baby,
And feel the pride and joy He gives;
But greater still the calm assurance,
This child can face uncertain days
Because He lives.
<Chorus>
3. And then one day, I’ll cross the river,
I’ll fight life’s final war with pain;
And then as death gives way to victory,
I’ll see the light of glory
And I’ll know He lives.
<Chorus>
10
After the collection, the Celebrant stands behind the altar,
facing the people and say:
Holy Father, through the blood of your dear Son you have
Consecrated for us a new and living way to your throne of grace.
We come to you through him, unworthy as we are,
Humbly asking you to accept us and these our gifts for your glory.
People: All that is in heaven and earth is yours, and
Of your own do we give you.

People: It is right to give Him thanks and praise.
Celebrant: It is right and a good and joyful thing,
Always and everywhere to give thanks to
You, Father Almighty, creator of heaven
And earth.
Through Jesus Christ our Lord, who rose
victorious from the dead and comfort us
with the blessed hope of everlasting life.
For to your faithful people, O Lord, life is
changed, not ended; and when our mortal
body lies in death, there is prepared for us
a dwelling place, eternal in the heavens.
