Welcome and Intimations

MP 1003 Shout to the Lord All the Earth, Let Us Sing

1. My Jesus, my Saviour,
   Lord, there is none like You.
   All of my days I want to praise
   the wonders of Your mighty love.
   My comfort, my shelter,
   tower of refuge and strength,
   let every breath, all that I am,
   never cease to worship You.
   

2. Shout to the Lord all the earth, let us sing,
   power and majesty, praise to the King.
   Mountains bow down and the seas will roar
   at the sound of Your name.
   I sing for joy at the work of Your hands,
   for ever I’ll love You, for ever I’ll stand.
   Nothing compares to the promise
   I have in You.

Prayer and Lord’s Prayer

Our Father, who art in heaven,
hallowed be thy name;
thy kingdom come;
thy will be done;
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day our daily bread.
And forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation;
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom,
the power, and the glory
for ever and ever.
Amen.

CH4 458 At the Name of Jesus

1. At the name of Jesus
   every knee shall bow,
   every tongue confess him
   King of glory now;
   'tis the Father's pleasure
   we should call him Lord,
   who from the beginning
   was the mighty Word.
   

2. Brothers, sisters, name him
   with love strong as death,
   but with awe and wonder
   and with bated breath!
   He is God the Saviour,
   he is Christ the Lord,
   ever to be worshiped,
   trusted, and adored.
   

3. In your hearts enthrone him;
   there let him subdue
   all that is not holy,
   all that is not true:
   let us grace support you
   in temptation's hour;
   and his will enfold you
   in its light and power.
   

4. In his Father's glory
   Christ shall come again,
   angel hosts proclaiming
   his return to reign.
   For all wreaths of empire
   meet upon his brow,
   and our hearts confess him
   King of Glory now.
   

1. Psalm 118:1-2, 19-29
2. Matthew 21:1-1

Mini-Message (if children are present)

CH4 367 Hosanna, Loud Hosanna

1. Hosanna, loud hosanna,
   the little children sang;
   through city street and temple
   their joyful welcome rang.
   They shouted out their praises
   to Christ, the children's friend,
   who welcomes all with blessing,
   whose love will never end.
   

2. From Olivet they followed,
   a large exultant crowd,
   the victor palm branch waving,
   and chanting clear and loud;
   bright angels joined the chorus,
   beyond the cloudless sky,
   'Hosanna in the highest!
   Glory to God on high!'
   

3. "Hosanna in the highest!"
   That ancient song we sing,
   for Christ is our Redeemer,
   the Lord of heaven our King.
   Oh, may we ever praise him
   with heart and life and voice,
   and in his blissful presence
   eternally rejoice.
   

Message

CH4 365 Ride On, Ride On in Majesty

1. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
   Hark! all the tribes 'Hosanna!' cry;
   O Saviour meek, pursue thy road
   with palms and scattered garments strowed.
   

2. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
   In lowly pomp ride on to die;
   O Christ, thy triumphs now begin
   o'er captive death and conquered sin.
   

3. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
   The winged squadrons of the sky
   look down with sad and wondering eyes
   to see the approaching sacrifice.
   

4. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
   Thy last and fiercest strife is nigh;
   the Father on his sapphire throne
   awaits his own anointed Son.
   

5. Ride on! ride on in majesty!
   In lowly pomp ride on to die;
   bow thy meek head to mortal pain,
   then take, O God, thy power, and reign.
   

Offering

MP 624 Take My Life and Let It Be

(v. 1, 4, 6)

1. Take my life and let it be
   consecrated, Lord, to thee.
   Take my moments and my days;
   let them flow in ceaseless praise,
   let them flow in ceaseless praise.
   

4. Take my silver and my gold;
   not a mite would I withhold.
   Take my intellect and use
   every power as thou shalt choose,
   every power as thou shalt choose.
   

6. Take my love; my Lord, I pour
   at thy feet its treasure store.
   Take myself, and I will be
   ever, only, all for thee,
   ever, only, all for thee.
   

Prayer of Intercession

MP 9 All Glory, Laud, and Honour

1. All glory, laud, and honour
   To Thee, Redeemer, King,
   To whom the lips of children
   Made sweet hosannas ring,
   Thou art the King of Israel,
   Thou, David's royal Son,
   Who in the Lord's Name comest,
   The King and Blessed One.
   

2. The company of angels
   Are praising Thee on high,
   And mortal men and all things
   Created, make reply.
   The people of the Hebrews
   With psalms before Thee went,
   Our praise and pray'r and anthems
   Before Thee we present.
   

3. To Thee, before Thy passion,
   They sang their hymns of praise,
   To Thee, now high exalted,
   Our melody we raise.
   Thou didst accept their praises,
   Accept the prayers we bring,
   Who in all good delightest,
   Thou good and gracious King.
