pleads my cause at God's right hand;
Love, redeemed from condemnation,
in your strength, though weak, I stand:

one with you, eternally.

come to call me from the dead;

glory that can never fade:

one with you, eternally. Languages: English Tune Title: ALL SAINTS

yet mindful of the fears,
the hopes, the questions raised for us
by ever changing years:
so guide us through our pilgrim days
that we may find a home
where justice, truth, and mercy meet,
fulfilled in your shalom.

true Word in flesh retold,
who marked the years from birth to death,
then rose to break death's hold:
by your becoming one with us,
help us to know and claim
the unity of all baptized
in your redeeming name.
3 Life breathing God enliv'ning time,
awaking heart and tongue,
inspiring prophets, bringing hope,
consoling old and young:
draw us to those denied your gifts
by bias, want, or strife,
convert our wills and form through us
new channels of your life.
4 Great Triune God, so bless the time
entrusted to our care,
that all our varied ministries
may form a common prayer;
then when time ceases,
bring us where divisions are undone,
that in your presence, joined in praise,
at last we may be one. Scripture: Psalm 119:33-40 Languages: English Tune Title: RESIGNATION

Unless thou hold me fast,

To whom shall I then turn my face,
If I depart from thee?

Thou art the CHRIST of GOD;

By promise and by blood.

But in thy boundless grace.
6 No voice but thine can give me rest,
And bid my fears depart;

Jesus Is All the World to Me
Author: Will L. Thompson Hymnal: The United Methodist Hymnal #469 (1989) Meter: 8.6.8.6.8.4.4.3 Topics: Eternal Life Lyrics: 1. Jesus is all the world to me,
my life, my joy, my all;
he is my strength from day to day,
without him I would fall.
When I am sad, to him I go,
no other one can cheer me so;
when I am sad, he makes me glad,
he's my friend.

my friend in trials sore;
I go to him for blessings, and
he gives them o'er and o'er.
He sends the sunshine and the rain,
he sends the harvest's golden grain;
sunshine and rain, harvest of grain,
he's my friend.
3. Jesus is all the world to me,
and true to him I'll be;
O how could I this friend deny,
when he's so true to me?
Following him I know I'm right,
he watches o'er me day and night;
following him by day and night,
he's my friend.
4. Jesus is all the world to me,
I want no better friend;
I trust him now, I'll trust him when
life's fleeting days shall end.
Beautiful life with such a friend,
beautiful life that has no end;
eternal life, eternal joy,
he's my friend.

whose Spirit breathes the active flame -
faith, like its Finisher and Lord,
today as yesterday the same:
2 to you our humble hearts aspire,
and ask the gift unspeakable;
increase in us the kindled fire,
in us the work of faith fulfil.
3 By faith we know you strong to save;
your saving presence let us know;
Whate'er we hope, by faith we have,
future and past are present now.
4 To us who in your name believe
eternal life with you is given;
into ourselves we all receive,
pardon, and happiness, and heaven.
5 The things unknown to feeble sense,
unseen by reason's glimmering ray,
with strong, commanding evidence,
their heavenly origin display.

Strong is God's love for us, Alleluia.
R
We know that all things work together for good
for those who love God,
who are called according to God's purpose.
What then are we to say about these things?
If God is for us, who is against us?
God, who did not withhold God's own Son,
but gave him up for all of us--
will God not also give us all things with him?
Who will separate us from the love of Christ?
Will hardship, or distress,
or persecution, or famine,
or nakedness, or peril, or sword?
No, in all these things we are more than conquerors
through him who loved us.
For I am convinced that neither death, nor life,
nor angels, nor rulers,
nor things present, nor things to come,
nor powers, nor height, nor depth,
nor anything else in all creation,
will be able to separate us from the love of God
in Christ Jesus our Lord. R Scripture: Romans 8:28-39 Languages: English Tune Title: [GOD IS FOR US]

Sing the resurrection song!
Death and sorrow, earth’s dark story,
To the former days belong.

Soon the storms of time shall cease;
In God’s likeness we awaken,
Knowing everlasting peace.
2 O what glory, far exceeding
All that eye has yet perceived!
Holiest hearts, for ages pleading,
Never that full joy conceived.
God has promised, Christ prepares it,
There on high our welcome waits.
Ev’ry humble spirit shares it;
Christ has passed the eternal gates.
3 Life eternal! heav’n rejoices:
Jesus lives who once was dead.
Shout with joy, O deathless voices!
Child of God, lift up your head!
Patriarchs from distant ages,
Saints all longing for their heav'n,
Prophets, psalmists, seers, and sages,
All await the glory giv'n.
4 Life eternal! O what wonders
Crowd on faith; what joy unknown,
When, amid earth's closing thunders,
Saints shall stand before the throne!
Oh, to enter that bright portal,
See that glowing firmament,
Know, with you, O God immortal,
Jesus Christ whom you have sent! Scripture: 1 Corinthians 15:20 Languages: English Tune Title: HYMN TO JOY
