Entrance Hymn

From Ashes to the Living

Verse 1
From ashes to the living font
your Church must journey, Lord,
Baptised in grace, in grace renewed
By your most holy word.Verse 2
Through fasting, prayer, and charity,
Your voice speaks deep within,
Returning us to ways of truth
and turning us from sin.Verse 3
From desert to the mountaintop
in Christ our way we see,
so, tempered by temptation’s might
we might transfigured be.Verse 4
From ashes to the living font
your Church must journey still,
Through cross and tomb to Easter joy,
In Spirit-fire fulfilled.

Offertory Hymn

Turn Your Eyes upon Jesus

Verse 1
O soul, are you weary and troubled?
No light in the darkness you see?
There’s light for a look at the Savior,
And life more abundant and free!Refrain
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.Verse 2
His Word shall not fail you--He promised;
Believe Him, and all will be well:
Then go to a world that is dying,
His perfect salvation to tell!Refrain
Turn your eyes upon Jesus,
Look full in His wonderful face,
And the things of earth will grow strangely dim,
In the light of His glory and grace.

Communion Hymn

Song of the Transfiguration

Verse 1
Transform us as you, transfigured, stood apart on Tabor’s height.
Lead us up our sacred mountains, search us with revealing light.
Lift us from where we have fallen, full of questions, filled with fright.Verse 2
Transform us as you, transfigured, once spoke with those holy ones.
We, surrounded by the witness of those saints whose work is done,
Live in this world as your Body, chosen daughters, chosen sons.Verse 3
Transform us as you, transfigured, would not stay within a shrine.
Keep us from our great temptation–time and truth we quickly bind.
Lead us down those daily pathways where our love is not confined.

Recessional Hymn

Be Thou My Vision

Verse 1
Be thou my vision, O Lord of my heart;
naught be all else to me, save that thou art.
Thou my best thought, by day or by night,
waking or sleeping, thy presence my light.Verse 2
Riches I heed not, nor vain empty praise;
thou mine inheritance, now and always.
Thou and thou only, first in my heart,
Ruler of heaven, my treasure thou art.Verse 3
High King of Heaven, my victory is won;
May I reach Heaven’s joys, O bright Heaven’s Son.
Heart of my own heart, whatever befall,
still be my vision, O Ruler of all.
