Give us this day our daily bread, And forgive us our debts as we forgive our debtors, And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil For Thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory forever. Amen.
People: Hosanna to the Son of David! Leader: Behold, your king is coming to you; righteous and having salvation, humble and mounted on a donkey, on a colt, the foal of a donkey. People: Blessed is He who comes in the name of the Lord. Leader: Lift up your heads, O gates! And be lifted up, O ancient doors, that the King of glory may come in. ALL: Who is this King of glory? The Lord of hosts, he is the King of glory! Hosanna in the highest!
GIVE PRAISE TO GOD
Hymn of Praise All Glory, Laud, and Honor #187 **
Offering Our Gifts The Holy City Stephen Adams Last night I lay a-sleeping There came a dream so fair, I stood in old Jerusalem Beside the temple there. I heard the children singing, And ever as they sang I thought the voice of angels From heaven in answer rang. Refrain
Jerusalem! Jerusalem! Lift up your voice and sing, Hosanna in the highest! Hosanna to your King!
The little children sang. The sun grew dark with mystery, The morn was cold and chill, As the shadow of a cross arose Upon a lonely hill. Refrain And once again the scene was changed, New earth there seemed to be. I saw the Holy City Beside the tideless sea. The light of God was on its streets, The gates were open wide, And all who would might enter, And no one was denied. No need of moon or stars by night, Or sun to shine by day; It was the new Jerusalem That would not pass away. Refrain Doxology* Praise God from Whom All Blessings Flow #544
