Prelude: God We Praise You
Ritual Song #703
God we praise You
God we bless You
God we name You Sovereign Lord
Mighty King whom angels worship
Father by Your church adored
All creation shows Your glory
Heaven and earth draw near Your throne
Singing holy holy holy
Lord of hosts and God alone
True apostles faithful prophets
Saints who set their world ablaze
Martyrs once unknown unheeded
Join one growing song of praise
While Your church on earth confesses
One majestic Trinity
Father Son and Holy Spirit
God our hope eternally
Jesus Christ the King of Glory
Everlasting Son of God
Humble was Your virgin mother
Hard the lonely path You trod
By Your cross is sin defeated
Hell confronted face to face
Heaven opened to believers
Sinners justified by grace
Christ at God's right hand victorious
You will judge the world You made
Lord in mercy help Your servants
For whose freedom You have paid
Raise us up from dust to glory
Guard us from all sin today
King enthroned above all praises
Save Your people God we pray

Entrance Hymn: For All the Saints
Ritual Song #984
1. For all the saints who from their labors rest,
All who by faith before the world confessed,
Your name, O Jesus, be for ever blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
2. You were their rock, their fortress and their might;
You, Lord, their Captain in the well-fought fight;
You in the darkness drear, their one true light.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
3. O may your soldiers, faithful, true and bold,
Fight as the saints who nobly fought of old,
And win with them, the victor's crown of gold.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
4. O blest communion, family divine!
We feebly struggle, they in glory shine;
Yet all are one within your great design.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
5. And when the strife is fierce, the warfare long,
Steals on the ear the distant triumph song,
And hearts are brave again, and arms are strong.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
6. The golden evening brightens in the west;
Soon, soon to faithful warriors comes their rest;
Sweet is the calm of paradise the blest.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
7. But then there breaks a yet more glorious day:
The saints triumphant rise in bright array;
The King of glory passes on his way.
Alleluia! Alleluia!
8. From earth's wide bounds, from ocean's farthest coast,
Through gates of pearl streams in the countless host,
Singing to Father, Son, and Holy Ghost:
Alleluia! Alleluia!

Preparation Hymn: I Heard the Voice of Jesus Say
Ritual Song #821
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'Come unto me and rest;
Lay down, O weary one, lay down
Your head upon my breast.'
I came to Jesus as I was,
So weary, worn, and sad;
I found in him a resting place,
And he has made me glad.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'Behold, I freely give
The living water; thirsty one,
Stoop down, and drink, and live.'
I came to Jesus, and I drank
Of that life-giving stream;
My thirst was quenched, my soul revived,
And now I live in him.
I heard the voice of Jesus say,
'I am this dark world's light;
Look unto me, your morn shall rise,
And all your day be bright.'
I looked to Jesus, and I found
In him my star, my sun;
And in that light of life I'll walk
Till trav'ling days are done.

Communion Hymn: Worthy Is The Lamb
Worthy is the Lamb that was slain
To receive honor and glory
Worthy are the ones who believe
To receive the goodness of God
Worthy are You O Paschal Lamb
Wisdom and strength belong now to You
You laid down Your life and died upon the cross
We've become a people of hope
Worthy are You O Bread of Life
Salvation and joy belong now to us
By conquering death and rising to new life
We've become a people of praise
Worthy are You O Risen Christ
Wonders and signs revealing Your might
Your power and glory shines upon our lives
We've become a light for the world

Communion Hymn: Come to the Water
Ritual Song #690
O let all who thirst,
let them come to the water.
And let all who have nothing,
let them come to the Lord:
without money, without price.
Why should you pay the price,
except for the Lord?
And let all who seek,
let them come to the water.
And let all who have nothing,
let them come to the Lord:
without money, without strife.
Why should you spend your life,
except for the Lord?
And let all who toil,
let them come to the water.
And let all who are weary,
let them come to the Lord:
all who labor, without rest.
How can your soul find rest,
except for the Lord?
And let all the poor,
let them come to the water,
Bring the ones who are laden,
bring them all to the Lord:
bring the children without might.
Easy the load and light:
come to the Lord.
Text: Based on Isaiah 55:1–2; Matthew 11:28–30.

Communion Hymn: Holy Holy Holy
Ritual Song #659
Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
Early in the morning our song shall rise to thee:
Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.
Holy, Holy, Holy! all the saints adore thee,
Casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
Cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
God everlasting through eternity.
Holy, Holy, Holy! though the darkness hide thee,
Though the eye made blind by sin thy glory may not see,
Only thou art holy; there is none beside thee,
Perfect in pow'r, in love, and purity.
Holy, Holy, Holy! Lord God Almighty!
All thy works shall praise thy Name in earth, and sky, and sea;
Holy, Holy, Holy! merciful and mighty,
God in three Persons, blessed Trinity.

Concluding Hymn: By All Your Saints Still Striving
Ritual Song #986
By all your saints still striving,
For all your saints at rest,
Your holy Name, of Jesus,
Forever more be blessed.
You rose, our King victorious,
That they might wear the crown
And share the light of glory
Reflected from your throne.
Apostles, prophets, martyrs
And all the noble throng
Who wear the spotless raiment
And raise the ceaseless song:
For them and those whose witness
Is only known to you,
By walking in their footsteps
We give you praise anew.
Then let us praise the Fathe
And worship God the Son
And sing to God the Spirit,
Eternal Three in One,
Till all the ransomed number
Who stand before the throne
Ascribe all pow’r and glory
And praise to God alone.
