Opening Hymn
Praise to the Lord

Common Praise 382

Praise to the Lord all of you, God’s servants.
Blessed be the name of Our God now and ever.
From the rising up of the sun,
may the Lord be praised.
Praise to the name of the Lord!

There is none like our God in the heav’ns or on earth,
who lifts the poor from the dust
seating them with the mighty,
who stoops to raise the weak and low;
may the Lord be praised.
Praise to the name of the Lord!

Musical Offering
My Lord, What a Morning
African-American Spiritual
Redeemer Adult Choir – Recorded and mixed February 2021


My Lord, what a morning
My Lord what a morning
My Lord, what a morning
When the stars begin to fall

You’ll hear the trumpet sound
To wake the nations underground
Looking to my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. Refrain

You’ll hear the sinner moan
To wake the nations underground
Looking to my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. Refrain

You’ll hear the Christian shout
To wake the nations underground
Looking to my God’s right hand
When the stars begin to fall. Refrain


Sanctus
Holy, Holy, Holy Lord Picardy Fr. 17th c.

Lord God of power and might
Heaven and earth are full,
Full of your glory
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest
Blessed is he who comes,
Who comes in the name of the Lord
Hosanna, hosanna, hosanna
Hosanna in the highest

Closing Hymn
Leave it There
LEVAS 197

If the world from you withhold of its silver and its gold,
And you have to get along with meager fare,
Just remember, in His Word, how He feeds the little bird—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

Refrain:
Leave it there, leave it there,
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there;
If you trust and never doubt, He will surely bring you out—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

If your body suffers pain and your health you can’t regain,
And your soul is almost sinking in despair,
Jesus knows the pain you feel, He can save and He can heal—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your enemies assail and your heart begins to fail,
Don’t forget that God in Heaven answers prayer;
He will make a way for you and will lead you safely through—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.

When your youthful days are gone and old age is stealing on,
And your body bends beneath the weight of care;
He will never leave you then, He’ll go with you to the end—
Take your burden to the Lord and leave it there.
