OPENING HYMN: “Holy, Holy, Holy”  (UMH 64) played by Marilyn Lee

1) 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!

2) Holy, holy, holy! All the saints adore thee,
casting down their golden crowns around the glassy sea;
cherubim and seraphim falling down before thee,
which wert, and art, and evermore shalt be.

CLOSING HYMN: “Here I Am Lord” (UMH 593) played by Marilyn Lee

Verse 1:

I, the Lord of sea and sky

I have heard my people cry

All who dwell in dark and sin

My hand will save

Chorus:

Here am I Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night

I will go, Lord, if you lead me

I will hold your people in my heart

Verse 2:

I who make the stars of night

I who make their darkness bright

Who will bear my light to them?

Whom shall I send?

Chorus:

Here am I Lord. Is it I, Lord?

I have heard you calling in the night

I will go, Lord, if you lead me

I will hold your people in my heart
