Anthem God So Loved the World John Stainer
God so loved the world that He gave His only begotten Son,
That whosoever believeth in Him should not perish,
But have everlasting life.
For God sent not His Son into the world to condemn the world,
But that the world through Him might be saved.
Anthem En Ego Campana Jacobus Handl (Gallus)
Behold, I am a bell, my words don’t lie
I laud the true God, I sound with ringing…
I call the people, I sound with ringing…
I gather the clergy…
I mourn death…
I annul the flashes of lightning…
I peal the Sabbath…
I arouse the slothful…
I scatter the winds…
I bring peace to the guilty…
Prayer of Thanksgiving and Intercession
The Lord be with you.
And also with you.
Let us pray. ...
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 debts, as we forgive our debtors;
and lead us not into temptation,
but deliver us from evil.
For thine is the kingdom and the power and the glory, now and forever. Amen.

Gonna ride up in the chariot early in the morning,
And I hope I join the band.
O Lord, have mercy on me.Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home
I look over Jordan and what do I see
A band of angels coming after me
Coming for to carry me home
Swing low, sweet chariot
Coming for to carry me home.
