Hear, O Lord

Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call;
Hear, O Lord, and have mercy.

I pray my soul to take,
Or else I pray that loneliness
Is gone when I awake.Refrain

And all my troubles too.
O grant, dear Lord, that some day soon
I'll live in peace with you.Hear, O Lord, the sound of my call;

My soul is longing for the glory of you.
O hear, O Lord, and answer me.

Communion Hymn

The King of Love My Shepherd Is

Verse 1
The King of love my shepherd is,
whose goodness fails me never.
I nothing lack if I am his,
and he is mine forever.Verse 2
Where streams of living water flow,
with gentle care he leads;
and where the verdant pastures grow,
with heav'nly food he feeds me.Verse 3
Perverse and foolish, I have strayed,
but yet in love he sought me;
and on his shoulder gently laid,
and home, rejoicing, brought me.Verse 4
In death's dark vale I fear no ill,
with you, dear Lord, beside me;
Your rod and staff my comfort still,
Your cross before to guide me.Verse 5
You spread a table in my sight;
Your saving grace bestowing;
and O, what joy and true delight
from your pure chalice flowing!Verse 6
And so through all the length of days,
Your goodness fails me never;
Good Shepherd, may I sing your praise
within your house forever.

Recessional Hymn

Lead Me, Lord

Verse 1
Blessed are the poor in spirit,
longing for their Lord,
for God's coming kingdom shall be theirs.
Blessed are the sorrowing,
for they shall be consoled,
and the meek shall come to rule the world.Refrain
Lead me, Lord, lead me, Lord,
by the light of truth
to seek and to find the narrow way.
Be my way; be my truth;
be my life, my Lord,
and lead me, Lord, today.Verse 2
Blest are they who through their lifetimes
sow the seeds of peace;
all will call them children of the Lord.
Blest are you, though persecuted
in your holy life,
for in heaven, great is your reward.Refrain
Lead me, Lord, lead me, Lord,
by the light of truth
to seek and to find the narrow way.
Be my way; be my truth;
be my life, my Lord,
and lead me, Lord, today.
