Opening Hymn Abide with me 1. Abide with me; fast falls the eventide; the darkness deepens; Lord, with me abide; When other helpers fail and comforts flee, help of the helpless, oh, abide with me. 2. Swift to its close ebbs out life’s little day; earth’s joys grow dim, its glories pass away; change and decay in all around I see; O thou who changest not, abide with me. 3. I need thy presence every passing hour; what but Thy grace can foil the tempter’s pow’r? who, like thyself, my guide and stay can be? Through cloud and sunshine, Lord, abide with me. 4. I fear no foe, with thee at hand to bless; ills have no weight, and tears no bitterness; where is death’s sting? Where, grave, thy victory? I triumph still, if thou abide with me. 5. Hold Thou thy cross before my closing eyes; shine through the gloom, and point me to the skies;heav’n’s morning breaks, and earth’s vain shadows flee; in life, in death, O Lord, abide with me. .

This is my body, broken for you, bringing you wholeness, making you free. Take it and eat it, and when you do, do it in love for me. 2. This is my blood poured out for you, bringing forgiveness, making you free. Take it and drink it, and when you do, do it in love for me. 3. Back to my Father son I shall go. Do not forget me; then you will see I am still with you, and you will know you’re very close to me. 4. Filled with my Spirit, how you will grow! You are my branches; I am the tree.

How sweet the sound that saved a wretch like me. I once was lost but now I’m found, was blind, but now I see 2. ‘Twas grace that taught my heart to fear, and grace my fears relieved.

The Lord has promised good to me; his word my hope secures. He will my shield and portion be as long as life endures.
