ENTRANCE HYMN: IT IS WELL WITH MY SOUL

1.When peace like a river attendeth my way, when sorrows like sea billows roll; whatever my lot, thou hast taught me to say, "It is well, it is well with my soul."

It is well with my soul; it is well, it is well with my soul.

2 Though Satan should buffet, though trials should come, let this blest assurance control: that Christ has regarded my helpless estate, and has shed his own blood for my soul.

Refrain 3 My sin oh, the bliss of this glorious thought! my sin, not in part, but the whole, is nailed to the cross, and I bear it no more; praise the Lord, praise the Lord, O my soul!

OFFERTORY HYMN: ENTER INTO JERUSALEM Proceeds towards the Duhaney Park Gospel Assembly Church Fund.

Enter into Jerusalem, let us go to God’s house, With the healthy and the sick, With the worker and the weak; Let us go to God’s house.

Enter into Jerusalem, let us go to God’s house, Come and run with the wind, With the God who reigns in peace; Let us go to God’s house.

Chorus: We go celebrate, we go celebrate, We go celebrate, O Israel!

Praise the name of the Lord on high, Praise his name in song!

Praise the Lord, with a heav’nly song, With a heav’nly song, with a heav’nly song, Praise the Lord!

Enter into Jerusalem, mek we walk-a-down there, With the young and the old, With the little and the large; Mek we walk-a-down there.

Enter into Jerusalem, mek we walk-a-down there, Swaying to the breeze, With the God who reigns in peace; Mek we walk-a-down there.

Enter into Jerusalem, let us go to God’s house, With yu papa and yu mama, With yu uncle and yu aunt; Let us go to God’s house.

Enter into Jerusalem, let us go to God’s house, Run and catch the breeze, With the God who reigns in peace; Let us go to God’s house.

SECOND SCRIPTURE LESSON Revelations Chapter 21, verse 1 - 4 Lloyd Stephens, nephew

BUNNY, MY LOVE KAHLIL GIBRAN ON LOVE, 1883-1931 And he raised his head and looked upon the people, and there fell a stillness upon them. And with a great voice he said: When love beckons to you, follow him, Though his ways are hard and steep. And when his wings enfold you yield to him, Though the sword hidden among his pinions may wound you. And when he speaks to you believe in him.

Though his voice may shatter your dreams as the north wind lays waste the garden. For even as love crowns you so shall he crucify you. Even as he is for your growth so is he for your pruning.

Even as he ascends to your height and caresses your tenderest branches that quiver in the sun. So shall he descend to your roots and shake them in their clinging to the earth. Like sheaves of corn he gathers you unto himself. He threshes you to make your naked. He sifts you to free you from your husks.

He grinds you to whiteness. He kneads you until you are pliant. And then he assigns you to his sacred fire, that you may become sacred bread for God’s sacred feast.

MESSAGE

Reverend Owen Desgouttes

BENEDICTION RECESSIONAL HYMN THE LORD'S MY SHEPARD The Lord’s my Shepherd, I’ll not want; He makes me down to lie In pastures green; He leadeth me The quiet waters by.

Yea, though I walk in death’s dark vale, Yet will I fear no ill; For Thou art with me, and Thy rod And staff my comfort still.

Goodness and mercy all my life Shall surely follow me; And in God’s house forevermore, My dwelling place shall be.

My soul He doth restore again, And me to walk doth make Within the paths of righteousness, E’en for His own name’s sake.

My table Thou hast furnished me In presence of my foes; My head Thou dost with oil anoint, And my cup overflows.

At the Graveside MEET ME BY THE RIVER Meet me by the river Where the ancient song is sung I will show you the deliverer He will be your home Oh, I know, Oh, I'm undone Oh, I'm drowning in His love Meet me in the garden Beside the trees so tall I will show you the comforter He will settle your soul Meet me in the twilight Where I first fell in love I will show you Jesus He will call you His own

SOME SWEET DAY

Some sweet day, I’m going away I’m going to leave this world No more to roam Some sweet day, When life is over Some sweet day, I’m going away.

WHEN WE ALL GET TO HEAVEN

Sing the wondrous love of Jesus Sing His mercy and His grace In the mansions bright and blessed He'll prepare for us a place When we all get to heaven WE SHALL HAVE A GRAND TIME What a day of rejoicing that will be When we all see Jesus We shall have a grand time We'll sing and shout the victory Up in heaven While we walk the pilgrim pathway We shall have a grand time up in heaven Clouds will overspread the sky Have a grand time But when travelin' days are over Walking with the angels, Not a shadow, not a sigh Singing glory, alleluia!

When we all get to heaven We shall have a grand time What a day of rejoicing that will be Up in Heaven When we all see Jesus Have a grand time.

We'll sing and shout the victory Onward to the prize before us Soon his beauty we'll behold Soon the pearly gates will open We shall tread the streets of gold When we all get to heaven What a day of rejoicing that will be When we all see Jesus We'll sing and shout the victory When we all see Jesus We'll sing and shout the victory
