What a Friend We Have in Jesus
Arr. Alfred Fedak Tune: Scarlet Ribbons Anna Grace Jordan, Soloist
What a friend we have in Jesus, All our sins and griefs to bear! What a privilege to carry Everything to God in prayer! O what peace we often forfeit, O what needless pain we bear, All because we do not carry Everything to God in prayer! 2
Have we trials or temptations? Is there trouble anywhere? We should never be discouraged; Take it to the Lord in prayer! Can we find a friend so faithful Who will all our sorrows share? Jesus knows our every weakness; Take it to the Lord in prayer! Are we weak and heavy laden, ‘Cumbered with a load of care? Precious Savior, still our refuge— Take it to the Lord in prayer! Do your friends despise, forsake thee? Take it to the Lord in prayer! In his arms he’ll take and shield thee; you wilt find a solace there. -Text by: Joseph Medlicott Scriven His Eye is on the Sparrow
By: Charles H. Gabriel Arr. Christopher Bennet Janet Inman Haigh, Soloist
Why should I be discouraged? Why should the shadows come? Why should my heart be lonely, and long for heav’n and home? When Jesus is my portion, a constant friend to me, his eye is on thesparrow, and I know he watches me. I sing because I’m happy, I sing because I’m free, for His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me. Let not your heart be troubled his tender word I hear, and rising on his goodness, I lose my doubt and fear. Tho’ by the path he leadeth, but one step I may see, His eye is on the sparrow, and I know he watches me. Whenever I am tempted, whenever clouds arise, when song gives place to sighing, when hope within me dies, I draw the closer to him, from care he sets me free; his eye is on the sparrow, and I know he cares for me. -Words by: Civilla D. Martin

Amazing Grace
Arranged by: Linda Spevacek Larry Wilson, Soloist
Amazing grace, how sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me I once was lost, but now am found. Was blind but now I see. T'was grace that taught my heart to fear and grace my fears relieved. How precious did that grace appear, the hour I first believed. The Lord has promised good to me His word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be, as long as life endures.
Goin’ Home Traditional Spiritual Arrangement based on Antonin Dvorak’s “New World Symphony” Tim Koch, Soloist Going Home, Going Home, I'm a Going Home. Quiet Like, This Fine Day, I'm just going Home. It's not far, just close by, through an open door, Work all done, care laid by going to fear no more. Mother's there expecting me, Father's waiting too. Lots of folks gathered there, all the friends I knew. Nothing's lost, all is Gain, No more fret nor pain, No more stumbling on the way, No more longing' for the day, Going to roam no more! Morning star lights the way, restless dream all done Shadows gone, break of day, real life just begun. There's no break, there's no end, just a living on. Wide awake, with a smile going on and on. Going home... 4

FIRST LESSON
Job: 19:21-27a
A reading from the Book of Job. Have mercy on me, have mercy on me, O you my friends, for the hand of God has touched me! Why do you, like God, pursue me? Why are you not satisfied with my flesh? “Oh that my words were written! Oh that they were inscribed in a book! Oh that with an iron pen and lead they were engraved in the rock forever! For I know that my Redeemer lives, and at the last he will stand upon the earth. And after my skin has been thus destroyed, yet in my flesh I shall see God, whom I shall see for myself, and my eyes shall behold, and not another. People:
PSALM
The Word of the Lord. Thanks be to God.
Psalm 23 KJV Book of Common Prayer, p. 476 Read together by all
The LORD is my shepherd; I shall not want. He maketh me to lie down in green pastures: he leadeth me beside the still waters. He restoreth my soul: he leadeth me in the paths of righteousness for his name's sake. Yea, though I walk through the valley of the shadow of death, I will fear no evil: for thou art with me; thy rod and thy staff they comfort me. Thou preparest a table before me in the presence of mine enemies: thou anointest my head with oil; my cup runneth over. Surely goodness and mercy shall follow me all the days of my life: and I will dwell in the house of the LORD for ever.

SECOND LESSON
1 John 4:7-10
A reading from the Book of First John. Beloved, let us love one another, for love is from God, and whoever loves has been born of God and knows God. Anyone who does not love does not know God, because God is love. In this the love of God was made manifest among us, that God sent his only Son into the world, so that we might live through him. In this is love, not that we have loved God but that he loved us and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins. People:

according to John. People: Glory be to thee, O Lord. “Let not your hearts be troubled. Believe in God; believe also in me. In my Father's house are many rooms. If it were not so, would I have told you that I go to prepare a place for you? And if I go and prepare a place for you, I will come again and will take you to myself, that where I am you may be also. And you know the way to where I am going.” Thomas said to him, “Lord, we do not know where you are going. How can we know the way?” Jesus said to him, “I am the way, and the truth, and the life. No one comes to the Father except through me. People:

Book of Common Prayer, p. 66
ficiatnn O da People tog ethe,rla stan dig n
I believe in God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth; And in Jesus Christ his only Son our Lord; who was conceived by the Holy Ghost, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius Pilate, was crucified, dead, and buried. He descended into hell. The third day he rose again from the dead. He ascended into heaven, and sitteth on the right hand of God the Father almighty. From thence he shall come to judge the quick and the dead. I believe in the Holy Ghost, the holy catholic Church, the communion of saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and the life everlasting. Amen.

Grant to thy faithful people pardon and peace, that we may be cleansed from all our sins, and serve thee with a quiet mind. Amen. Grant to all who mourn a sure confidence in thy fatherly care, that, casting all their grief on thee, they may know the consolation of thy love. Amen. Give courage and faith to those who are bereaved, that they may have strength to meet the days ahead in the comfort of a reasonable and holy hope, in the joyful expectation of eternal life with those they love. Amen. Grant us grace to entrust Jack to thy never-failing love; receive him into the arms of thy mercy, and remember him according to the favor which thou bearest unto thy people. Amen. Grant us, with all who have died in the hope of the resurrection, to have our consummation and bliss in thy eternal and everlasting glory, and, with all thy saints, to receive the crown of life which thou dost promise to all who share in the victory of thy Son Jesus Christ; who liveth and reigneth with thee and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever. 9

Our Father, who art in heaven, hallowed be thy Name, thy kingdom come, thy will be done, on earth as it is in heaven. Give us this day our daily bread. And forgive us our trespasses, as we forgive those who trespass against us. And lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from evil. For thine is the kingdom, and the power, and the glory, for ever and ever. Amen.
THE BREAKING OF THE BREAD Christ our Passover was sacrificed for us. Therefore let us keep the feast. Holy Communion is an open and welcoming Table as the Lord himself is the host of this meal. All who have been baptized are invited forward to receive the Body and Blood of Christ. Those who prefer not to receive Communion are welcome to come forward for a blessing.

ANTHEM
“How Great Thou Art� by: Stuart K. Hine Tim Koch, Soloist
1. O Lord my God! When I in awesome wonder Consider all the works Thy hands have made. I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder, Thy power throughout the universe displayed. Refrain: Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee; How great Thou art, how great Thou art! Then sings my soul, My Saviour God, to Thee: How great Thou art, how great Thou art! 2. When through the woods and forest glades I wander And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees; When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze: Refrain 3. And when I think that God, His Son not sparing, Sent Him to die, I scarce can take it in; That on the cross, my burden gladly bearing, He bled and died to take away my sin: Refrain 4. When Christ shall come with shouts of acclamation And take me home, what joy shall fill my heart! Then I shall bow in humble adoration, And there proclaim, my God, how great Thou art! Refrain
POST-COMMUNION PRAYER
Book of Common Prayer, p.482
Almighty God, we thank thee that in thy great love thou hast fed us with the spiritual food and drink of the Body and Blood of thy Son Jesus Christ, and hast given unto us a foretaste of thy heavenly banquet. Grant that this Sacrament may be unto us a comfort in affliction, and a pledge of our inheritance in that kingdom where there is no death, neither sorrow nor crying, but the fullness of joy with all thy saints; through Jesus Christ our Savior. Amen. 12
THE COMMENDATION
Book of Common Prayer, p.482
Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints, People: where sorrow and pain are no more,neither sighing, but life everlasting. Celebrant:
Thou only art immortal, the creator and maker of mankind; and we are mortal, formed of the earth, and unto earth shall we return. For so thou didst ordain when thou createdst me, saying, "Dust thou art, and unto dust shalt thou return." All we go down to the dust; yet even at the grave we make our song: Alleluia, alleluia, alleluia. Give rest, O Christ, to thy servant with thy saints, where sorrow and pain are no more,neither sighing, but life everlasting. Into thy hands, O merciful Savior, we commend thy servant Jack. Acknowledge, we humbly beseech thee, a sheep of thine own fold, a lamb of thine own flock, a sinner of thine own redeeming. Receive him into the arms of thy mercy, into the blessed rest of everlasting peace, and into the glorious company of the saints in light. Amen.
